Protestant march called off after attack on priest

A Protestant march due to take place in Glasgow on Saturday, July 21 has been cancelled after an attack on a Catholic priest.

Following a meeting with organisers, Glasgow City Council confirmed the Orange march, which would have gone past the church where to attack took place, will not go ahead.

Earlier this month, Canon Tom White was spat on and verbally abused as the parade passed St Alphonsus Church. The Orange Lodge has insisted the incident was nothing to do with the parade, but Council leader Susan Aitken called on the Lodge to take responsibility for anti-Catholic behaviour.
