GLASGOW, Scotland — A Scottish Protestant church has suspended the lord chancellor, Britain's highest-ranking law officer, from his post as a church elder because he attended the Roman Catholic funerals of two colleagues.
The Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland, which has up to 5,000 members and 20 congregations, regards the Catholic Mass as idolatrous and the Pope as the anti-Christ. It acted after a court of elders heard that the lord chancellor, Lord Mackay, attended two Catholic funerals.
