I don't think so. They can recognize it as a spell, perhaps even
determine what school it is, and roughly how far it is beyond them
(spellcraft proficiency check?). But, they can't add it to their spell
book, as they have to "know" it to do so. A read magic spell would probably
let them determine what spell it is exactly, but other than that, it would
be like me sorting through a bunch of machine code: I could recognize it as
machine code (probably), but to figure out what it did? Alter it? Use it?
No way.

Because without a bloodline, you can't manipulate RPs (which are a
pretty intangible thing) without wich you can't power realm spells.

And when he speaks 'ex cathedra' (I think) he speaks for God, as far as
the Catholic Church is concerned.

Sidenote: Has anyone else been following the news about the proposed
changes to the laws of succession in the UK? If the Bill is passed, the
crown will be passed to the Monarch's eldest child, rather than to the
eldest son. Not that it's ever likely to become an issue...

Damn. I had this idea a while ago, and forgot to post it...
I've been thinking about researching Realm Spells which use buildings as
part of the spell. For example:
A Realm Spell that summons a massive spirit-creature-thing using
something like the Nazca lines in Peru.
Or
A specially prepared wall is built along the northern edge of Mesire,
but concealed within it, along it's length, are special foci which would
allow an improved version of Warding to be cast along the wall.
Or
A castle is built with an array of hundreds of large polished steel
mirrors. These can be focussed to burn ships out of the sea, and a Realm
Spell can be cast to make this more effective.
Obviously the Spell would be pretty specific to the building, and it
would increase the construction costs, but has anyone got any
suggestions for how it would operate? I'm going to mull this over
beforte attempting to bash my GMs over the head with it.

...The main difference being that blooded rulers have facts to back their
claims. Go insult a magnificent scion of anduiras and feel the effects of
Divine Wrath and Animal Affinity (great) combined...:-)
