Number of Scottish Catholics on the rise

[lizardley]

The 2011 census of Scotland, released today, shows that the number of Catholics in the country is growing.

Sixteen per cent of the population identified as Catholics, the same as the last census in 2001, but the growing population means there are 37,000 more Catholics in Scotland than a decade ago.

I wonder how long they will last in our disaster of a Scottish Church?

Badly catechized and soon to be as secular as the rest of the nation.
