Well they won't get long, seeing the new Irish leader, Jerry Buttimer is only getting 10 minutes with the Pontiff!
Still not enough time to talk about the Catholic church child abuse scandals.
It was always a majority Proddy city, albeit with a large RC population.
Newsnight just said then that even in the Irish Republic 60% of RC’s have no interest in the church now, compared to just 10% in 1979.
I know you’re only saying it jokingly, but Anfield will be full. I’m in the city right now, and there are Reds everywhere.

I don't believe that's right. I'm sure when I lived there it was known as the only English city with a Catholic majority.
The current proportion of non-RC’s is 72.5%. This got as low as circa 55% in the 1851 census (the RC figure then was officially just 22%, but it’s felt that understated the numbers within families).
In reality now, numbers ever attending church are far lower than that, as it is across all of Britain & Ireland.

I meant Catholic majority over protestant!
