Today in Glasgow at 4.45pm an anti-Catholic march will pass by St Mary’s Church in Abercromby Street.
Despite complaints being lodged with the Glasgow City Council, they have permitted this public manifestation of hatred to proceed.
Call It Out has merely asked that these anti-Catholic marches be re-routed so that they do not pass by Catholic churches.
However, the local authority has refused this very reasonable request.
In my experience, it is rare for individuals to change, but generations can be very different from the one that preceded them.
I think that is the case now with those of the Catholic faith in Glasgow.
Many of them are part of the multi-generational Irish community in the City and quite simply they will not tolerate what their parents and grandparents silently endured.
Consider this dear reader, would anti-Islamic marches be allowed to parade past mosques?
If a Rabbi had been assaulted outside a synagogue in Glasgow last summer would an anti-Semitic organisation be authorised to goose-step past a Jewish place of worship in Glasgow today?
Of course, they would not and nor should they be.
However, there seems to be a cultural tolerance in Fair Caledonia of the hatred of Catholics and anti-Irish racism.
Hence the Call It Out organisation has been recently formed.
I wrote about them last month.
There isn’t much to add to that today.
Except that Call it Out are asking for support for their silent and peaceful protest today at 4.45pm at St Mary’s in Abercrombie Street.
For the avoidance of doubt, you do not need to be a Catholic to oppose anti-Catholic marches.

Grew up next to an orange hall and a Rangers pub half owned by Walter Smith, just so happened that most of my mates were Tims as I am, the police would warn us if we were wearing Celtic tops when the walk went passed we would be jailed. Not the drunk adult bigots who would threaten or throw things at us boys who were 14 15 years old, needless to say we often got our revenge when they went round to get the train or the bus late at night with no one to protect them. But it was ok to grow up with fear of being attacked because I was wearing a Celtic scarf on my way home after a game because I had to walk by that boozer. I do hate them for that but would never lower myself to intimidate a scarfed Rangers supporter especially a youngster
It would appear that the ludge and Rangers are the most visible outlets of Protestantism in Scotland.
Bit by bit the current generation are turning their back on being seen dressed in a fancy uniform and parading in a street near you.
In the current era their football team has given them nothing to shout about as David Murray led them down the administration path, followed by death by liquidation, yet somehow escapes the bulk of the blame whereas his stool pigeon, the SFA, SPFL and Celtic, amongst others are accused of trying to kill them off.
The most damning revelation of the Whyte trial was the fact that the bank had dangled a carrot in front of SDM that they knew he couldn’t resist.
Get rid of Rangers at any cost and we will sell part of MIM, his original love child, back to you.
No contest.
It would appear that the ludge and Glasgow Rangers
The ultimate irony that these groups of bigoted troglodytes fail to recognise is that they espouse their love of Prince William of L’Orange and their hatred of Catholics when said Prince was supported and funded by none other than The Pope!
Go figure………
The Norman Invasion of Ireland (A cordial Invite by the deposed King of Leinster) was also sanctioned by the Pope (The only English Pope ever to Rule the Catholic Church)at that time.
There seems to be a few common threads developing here…
One from last year which seems appropriate… https://theclumpany.wordpress.com/2018/07/08/whats-the-problem-with-roman-catholicism/
And the ironic thing is THEY accuse anyone who disagrees with their warped views, of being a bigot. I’ve had first hand experience of this.
Allowing anti-Catholic marches to specifically pass Catholic Churches is nothing short of racism and Glasgow City Council should be ashamed. HH
