    Buddhism also has many 'Variations'. So probably each would have to do their own.
    back to somebody's point about an ecumenical tartan.

    Who knows, next step might be world peace.

    I wonder if those individuals have met any members of the Irish Air Corps Pipe Band?

    These gents seem to play a lot "south of the border" with no problems.

    No doubt there are more than a few RCs in their ranks. You might mention to these individuals that pipers in the Defence Forces of the Irish Republic wear saffron.
    I wonder if the informant is aware that the saffron kilt of Ireland was first conceptualized as a symbol of Irish nationalism by none other than Padraig Pearse, who on Easter Sunday 1916 stood on the front steps of the GPO in Dublin and proclaimed the birth of the Irish Republic?
    What about the saffron kilts of the 16th Irish Division; the Irish Brigade of WWI, who fought at the Somme, Ypres, Beaumont Hamel, and Messines?
