Sectarian rhetoric never makes sense. To be fair though I don’t that it was Kate’s catholic faith that was ridiculed, she could have been CoE and it would still have been the same, but her perceived use of that faith when her own mother said they weren’t particularly religious.
For me the religion thing is unimportant. I come from the same part of Scotland as several other members and I simply don’t recognise the endemic bigotry described. Perhaps it’s because I’m from a different generation.
I don't believe I ever described the bigotry as endemic.
In fact I have repeatedly said that religious intolerance has decreased considerably.
But it should be acknowledged that it does remain in certain parts of the community
One only has to recall the recent atack on the Catholic priest being spat on and verbally abused when he unfortunately came out of his church in the East end of Glasgow just as an Orange Order parade was passing by.
ETA I believe that assailant has been charged.
In his twenties if I remember correctly.
So very much a younger generation.
