Yeah, just think there would only be a tiny sprinkling of British Catholics instead of a small handful like today...the horror the horror.
Actually, the Catholic population in England is 10% and growing fast (more so than the Muslim population btw, which many FReepers insist are swamping and dominating us). Here in the North West of England, it is at 20% and I know more practicing Catholics than I do practicing Anglicans, even though I’m technically a baptized member of the latter church...
