Tam the man do you feel the large Catholic community living in Scotland has no place there ? should they shut their mouths and not follow their faith ? I am not being funny, but in your words Scotland is a Protestant country and the Pope has nothing to do with Scotland.I am an Irish Republican and proud of it, but if the Queen who is the head of your faith died in the morning and I was asked to observe a moment of respect I would have no problem with that. As a mark of respect to the death of a lady and as a mark of respect to all my Protestant friends of whom she meant something to.
