I have a piece done on this issue which I will put out shortly. Just need a slot! But the way they can seek to punish members who go to a Catholic mass is undiluted bigotry
The orange order like the churches have been nothing but a cog in the big house machine to keep the people down and divided,the lol along with the churches should be giving their marching orders straight into the dustbins of history.
AM - the Orders rules actually bar members from attending any non Protestant religious services - Hindu, Muslim , Eastern Orthodox, roman Catholic, Buddhist - nothing to do with bigotry, all to do with reformed theology. The Evangelical Protestant Society took the exact same stance.
