Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Innocent III

I wonder if the present Pope considers England still bound by the Charter of Submission from King John, reproduced below? Perhaps not in matters of religion, but I feel certain that some of his countrymen in the European Peoples Party in the European Parliament, (in which group all but one of Britain's Conservative MEPs remain), certainly take that political view in regard to the intent of the Treaty of Rome, as the quotes provided on one of my other blogs Teetering Tories over the past weekend, linked here, surely show.

Charter of Submission from the King of England, 1213

John, by the grace of God king of England, lord of Ireland, Duke of Normandy...etc.

By this charter attested by our golden seal we wish it to be known to you all that...we offer and freely yield to God and to SS Peter and Paul...and to the Holy Roman Church our mother, and to our lord Pope Innocent III and his catholic successors, the whole kingdom of England and the whole kingdom of Ireland with all their rights and appurtenences for the remission of our sins and the sins of our whole family.... And now, receiving back these kingdoms from God and the roman Church, and holding them as a feudatory vassal...we have pledged and sworn our fealty hencefort to our lord aforesaid, Pope Innocent III...and we bind in perpetuity our successors and legitimate heirs that without question they must similarly render fealty and acknowelge homage to the Supreme Pontiff holding office at the time... ...in lieu of all service and payment which we should render for them [the fiefs], the Roman Church is to receive annually...one thousand marks sterling....
