Should Orange marches be allowed?

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I don't know about Scotland, but in Northern Ireland that is generally untrue, usually Catholc areas with marches were Protestant when the march began. Totally agree the marches are pure triumphalism though.

Ah, but then why not re-route the marches? The answer is Triumphalism and refusing to face the fact that they have "lost" that area to the evil Papists.

So, you see, it is for rubbing noses.

Let them march. It is ridiculous to hold a grudge over something that happened 300 years ago. The marchers enjoy being British, so let them do so.

No, they enjoy being Calvinists. I, for example, couldn't be an Orangeman because I'm Anglo-Catholic. As far as a true Orangeman is concerned I'm only half a step above a filthy Papist.

William of Orange was not a particularly popular King in England, generally viewed with suspicion by the Church and overall second Choice to the Duke of Monmouth.
