Subject: RE: Scottish show disrespect for dead pope
Well you see if Bonnie Prince Charlie had won at Culloden Scotland would now be a Catholic country, so it's largely a matter of luck that you happen to live in a country where the monarch is the head of the Church of England, and protestant succession is enshrined in the British constitution. Then again if Henry the VIIIth hadn't fallen out with the Church of Rome over the little matter of them refusing him permission to divorce one of his wives, then England might also be a Catholic country. So you see Tam religion is neither fixed nor that important. Whereas respect is universal and non sectarian. Giok..
