Very interesting - and entirely consistent with the Pope’s penchant for making micro-trips to the “peripheries”.

It will be interesting to see Scottish Catholics react. Having lived in Scotland in the past (and now Ireland) I am very interested in Scottish Catholicism and would be interested to hear any comments about the state of Catholicism in Scotland …

Anyone - OP or otherwise - have anything to say?
