Scottish Catholicism

Scottish Catholicism is a branch of Christianity practiced in Scotland, part of the global Roman Catholic Church. It has roots dating back to the early Christian church in the region, involving significant figures like St. Columba. The Reformation in the 16th century led to the establishment of Protestantism, marginalizing Catholicism for centuries. Today, Scottish Catholicism has a vibrant community with its own traditions, a focus on social justice, and a commitment to education. It celebrates the sacraments and has a rich cultural heritage, with contributions to music, art, and community service throughout Scotland.
