Catholicism is likely to become the largest churchgoing denomination in Scotland, according to new projections.
Figures from the 2016 Scottish Church Census reveal that the Catholic Church and Church of Scotland make up 35 per cent of the church-going population, but that the Catholic proportion is expanding.
The report found 135,600 weekly Catholic Mass attenders compared to 136,910 attending Church of Scotland services. The figures showed a total of 389,510 weekly attenders of churches of any denomination.
