Catholic Tartan

[Galician]

Why not wear the St. Patrick tartan? Eh?

As if we're all Irish!!!

Ironically, it was the SEC that is generally given credit as the "founders of the Anglican Communion", as the first American Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Samuel Seabury, was consecrated by three SEC Bishops in Aberdeen in 1784.



T.

Aberdeen Episcopal Cathedral has plaques of all the ECUSA dicoceses as a memorial of this.

And the last Catholic Royal Stewart is Buried in St. Peter's Basillica in Rome.QUOTE]

Not only that he was a Cardinal

Yes Cardinal Henry of York who was given the regnal title of Henry IX by supporters of the Jacobite cause.

Yeah, all those randy Scots and Irish covering the earth have pretty well given all of us a little bit of the Gaelic!

I've often toyed with the idea of rendering the traditional Clergy tartan in various liturgical colors, for use during the different seasons of the year.

But of course during the liturgy the clergy are properly vested, anyway, so the kilt wouldn't be seen! And blue is just such a nice Marian color for general use, why mess with success!?

Ozman1944,

Do I take it from your screen name that you are Australian? If so, did you know that the Australian tartan was based off of the MacQuarrie clan tartan in honor of Gov. Lachlan MacQuarie? I don't know the faith of the governor himself, but I did read in a MacQuarrie clan history I have that he contributed to the building of the first Catholic church in New South Wales!

Am not sure, but am aware of the Oz Tartan, (pity Stillwater doesn't have it). There is also an Australian Millenium; lots of red/white/blue as opposed to the Tan shades of the former.
Capt. Bligh (Governor) bult an Anglican Church and forced the Irish Catholics to attend protestant Services. They rioted and burnt the place down. I think Mac Quarrie was possibly placating the mob. But Catholic he could've been; there were a lot of Catholic Scots. Australia's first Saint (Blessed Mary of the Cross/McKillop) was Australian born. Her parents Immigrated, met & Married in Melbourne. Her mother was a MacDonald.
"My" Stewarts (great Grandparents) were staunch Presbyterians - but would never explain an old photo of a Good Shepherd Nun in their family album. (?)

Hi, Has anyone ever seen or heard of a Catholic tartan? I've seen some with Presbyterian and Episcopal ties, but never Catholic. Thanks.

Well, go with a MacDonald of Glencoe... it is a nice tartan and certainly had very strong catholic connections. Just make sure to stay clear of any Campbells in the area ;-)

Sigh...Oh, Mike!

Once again -- the Campbells as a clan were not responsible for the Glencoe Massacre.

Here is an interesting article from the UK Clan Donald Society which discusses whether the Glencoe MacDonalds were RC:

In fact, there were a number of Highland clans, including a fair amount of MacDonalds, who were Episcopalian.

But we try not to hold that against them.... :-)
