Don't knock it---he could do worse. As a born & raised Presbyterian, married
to a born & raised Methodist, who both converted to be Catholic more than 30
years ago BY CHOICE (and, by the way, I find the "beliefs" and attitudes
between Presby-Cath much closer than Presby-Meth), and, having found out
long ago all that this list had to offer about the area (Co. Louth) where my
Scottish GGGgrandparents spent time between Scotland and USA, the only
reason I stay on the Scotch-Irish list is for the marvelous history and
religion information posted often by Edward Andrews and Linda Merle (and
occasionally by "Stu" & others). Besides, the occasional knock-down-drag-out
disagreements are sometimes fun until they get overdone. Please don't start
another because of this. Three or four years ago I started one by asking for
an absolute definition of Scotch-Irish and haven't yet recovered from that
fiasco. Please DO NOT start that one again.
