Orange Order in Belfast celebrates the July 12 marches in front of a Catholic Church.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.

A JOHN KNOX lookalike is to welcome the Pope to Scotland. The actor has been hired by the Catholic Church to play the leader of Scotland's Protestant Reformation in a pageant of the country's historical figures. The 25 characters will parade in front of the pontiff's Popemobile on Princes Street, Edinburgh, during his visit in September. Knox's surprise inclusion by Catholic Church leaders follows accusations that this year's 450th anniversary of the Reformation is being ignored by the Scottish Government....

....Also depicted will be Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, William Wallace, St Andrew, Robert the Bruce, Eric Liddell, St Ninian, St Margaret, St Columba and Alexander Fleming.

-- from the 2010 thread John Knox to be included in pageant during Pope's visit to Scotland

Yeah, gee, Alex we know there’s no difference between Catholics including a actor playing the part of a long-since-dead Protestant and hundreds or even thousands of scumbag bigot Protestants marching in celebration of their forefathers conquest and suppression of Ireland. Yeah, no difference at all.
