I think it helped that the Headteacher (Mr Dempsey when I was a pupil) worked on the turnstiles at maine road. on a side note one of the priest at christ the king in the 80s was a fr Walsh who was a big blue and hated the the rags with a passion.

The Pope and an atheist are having a discussion...

and it slowly gets more and more heated until eventually the Pope can't take it anymore and he says to the atheist - "You are like a man who is blindfolded, in a dark room who is looking for a black cat that isn't there."

The atheist laughs and says - "With all due respect, we sound awfully similar. You are like a man who is blindfolded, in a dark room who is looking for a black cat that isn't there but the difference is you've found it.

I was taken to my first City game by a Catholic priest in Longsight in 1974. A few years later the same priest made the front page of the Daily Star for shagging some local lass. Never bothered me. Live and let live!

Makes a change from the alter boy !
 
Both sides of my family were Catholic (although Im Eastern Orthodox), and they were brought up in Hulme and Fallowfield. All massive City fans right back to my great grand parents. Never got the Catholic/Protestant thing in football.

Just to add to the Catholic/protestant thing, in moston cemetery is a memorial to fallen IRA members who manchester police killed in the early 1900s.
No idea if they were city or united fans but it is interesting.

My grandparents were Irish, both of their wider families were potentially involved in the 1916 events. Looking up Grandad's family, there is mention of relatives robbing banks and coming to Manchester as earlier generations had settled here. Really need to do a deep dive at some point because based of surnames, they had either some serious involvement or really big families, and both were City fans
