    I know it was founded by a catholic Marxist brother.

    Didn't Walfrid say a football club will be formed for the poor Irish immigrants fleeing the famine?

    Indeed.

    Would do some fans some good to remember this.

    Walfrid never said anything about Celtic being an exclusive club for catholics, so how come some people say we're a 'catholic club'

    Not only did Walfrid never say that, but I've never actually heard any Celtic fans say that either, be it on this forum or elsewhere.

    We're a club with Catholic roots and a proud Irish Catholic history. That doesn't mean that we don't welcome people of all faiths at our club.

    The Catholic church welcomes people of all faiths.

    Even if people did misinterpret Celtic to be a "catholic club" instead of a club founded by Catholic members, I personally don't find it to be a big deal.
