Scottish clothing company Catholics with Attitude is opening a second outlet in America after sales doubled thanks to the papal visit.
 
The company, which makes T-shirts and hoodies with slogans such as “Team Benedict”, “Vatican All Stars”, and “I Love Papa Benny”, said sales had gone “through the roof”.
 
Spokesman Elliot Bohannon said: “I think there's been a cultural shift. People have discovered they can wear a T-shirt that says what they believe in.”
 
Sales from January to September this year doubled sales over the same period in 2009, Mr Bohannon said.
 
“We’ve also exceeded the financial figure already by a huge margin,” he said, adding that the sales had been “far beyond our wildest expectations”.
