question about Jacobite victory

Assuming a Jacobite victory in either 1715 or 1745, this would nullify the act of settlement one would assume. Consequently does this enable the monarch and members of the royal family to marry a catholic and thus keep their place in the line of succession?
 
Also I've seen sources stating that a Mary d'este was a love interest of James the old pretender, is this true?
 
Given that any successful Jacobite would himself be a Catholic descended from Catholics, I can't imagine the ban on Catholic marriages would stay whenever it happened.

This is very true. I do wonder how this would be seen by the general populous given their anti Catholic sentiment
 
Didn't Charlie flirt with Protestantism later IOTL? Maybe if he tries something with it in 1745... (though I'm not sure that would work with his father is still around). No idea how plausible that is.

Most likely it's theoretically nullified but if the Jacobite king has any sense he'll be treading very, very carefully regarding religion.

A fair point, I know he came to London and secretly converted to Protestantism in 1750, if he did something like that during the 45 campaign, that could make his life slightly easier?
 
I think Charles and his descendants convert to Anglicanism forever in "The House of Stuart Sequence" from Sea Lion Press, and I imagine realpolitik would bring him to do so in the event of a Jacobite victory.

Yeah, but how would Charles converting in '45 work when the Jacobite claimant they're nominally fighting for is his still staunchly-Catholic father (maybe if James is dead?).

There's also the fact that BPC's brother ended up a Cardinal IOTL, so how would he react to his brother converting?

Hmm, I imagine it would be something to do with securing a Protestant succession, which was a big gripe with the Jacobites originally.

And I imagine some grumbling aha
