A CATHOLIC chaplain of a Glasgow university has held a service to atone for the "gross offence" of Glasgow Pride.
Father Mark Morris, of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, last night invited parishioners to a rosary of reparation.
According the Balornock church's website, the service was a "Rosary of reparation for the gross offence to God which is Pride Glasgow."
Saturday's Pride march was led by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, who called the event “celebrating and reaffirming the values of tolerance, diversity, equality, love and respect.”
But last night Father Morris, who is the Catholic chaplain of Glasgow Caledonian University, held a service offering decades of the Rosary, Litany and Benediction in reparation for the LGBTI event.
Jordan Daly, Co-Founder of Time for Inclusive Education (TIE), which campaigns for inclusive education in schools, said it was "sad and disappointing" to see Father Morris's "condemnation" of the event.
He said: "The Pride parade was, as always, a vibrant and colourful display of diversity, acceptance, and inclusivity.
A spokesman for the Catholic Church in Glasgow said: “This was a private parish devotion unrelated to Father Morris’s role as chaplain.”
