    Don, most Protestants in Britain are Church of England, and they have always really wanted to be Roman Catholic.

    Of course there are some small groups who still think the Pope is the anti-Christ. The last census showed that they are significantly outnumbered by the Jedi. There are also hard-line sects within the Catholic Church who store the matches for the return fixture of Mary v Elizabeth.

    Mosts tensions you read about are actually economic or political with religion as a convenient badge with which to label one's opponents. My family has been Catholic longer than the Popes, and the only times we have lost our heads have been due to little local misunderstandings or the excitable French.
