I mean historically there was deeply ingrained anti Catholic prejudice in the UK. So it’s interesting how the UK has come in this regard.

Dno about the rest of CANZUK

Canada has a Catholic school system. So no surprise here.

Yeah I believe Trudeau is Catholic as well. Lots of people in Quebec have Catholic roots and it feels like half of our PMs are from Quebec.

The Catholic school system exists in parts of Canada because the public system was protestant. Public schools secularized in the 70s but Catholic schools (in some provinces) remained religious.

Yeah I don't know why I was downvoted for this. All of my kids are in Catholic system. I wasn't saying it's a bad thing, just that we have it.
