    Stonewall, it was a good explanation - especially where you correctly pointed out that religion was not the source of the present troubles.

    Thanks. Foreign T.V tends to listen to the Thugs or their political masters to get their sound bite, to make the news " sexy " ,or " dumb down " for their viewers.This is a shame it allows sterotypes to become ingrained in peoples minds.Ireland is neither a quaint emerald island or a priest ridden back water.Like every where else we have good and bad in Ireland it just rains here more than it does in other places .At least it seems as if it does.

    Never been there - one day, I'd like to. One of my best mates is a half-Catholic, half-Protestant Irishman from the South who served as an Officer in the British Army. Just thought I'd mention it to confuse the stereotype-believers.

    haha - how can you half believe in something??? He may have 1 Catholic parent and 1 protestant parent: but he's gotta either believe in Catholic or Protestant doctrine and teachings or not!

    blood does not... but religious believes are not part of your dna, ethnic background is...

    Very true.But in my experience in a mixed marriage the parents find their own path to their childrens religious education. This does not mean the kids half belive in anything.Sadly ,in Ireland, people have turned their backs on organised religion.They belive in designer labels and fast cars.

    Mixed background, mate - he's in the Church of England, but his wife is Catholic, and their eldest daughter has just been confirmed in the Catholic Church. Anyway, when all is said and done, it's a bit daft fighting over the 2% of things you disagree about, instead of looking at the 98% of things you share.

    Well the Catholic Church and the Anglican Church are very similar. My uncle married and Episcipalian. Was never too big of a problem... but some of the protestant church here in the US are VERY different from the Catholic Church. I was just kidding and saying that mixed ethnic background doesn't translate into mixed beliefs - half believing in something is rather oxymoronic... like people who say they're half jewish and half christian...

    Practically identical in fact. The Church of England (Anglican) is pretty much Catholicism without the Latin or the Rosary beads.


    Oh, and the priests are allowed to marry. Cool, eh?

    You know - there's some provision in canon law allowing anglican priests to convert to the catholic church and become catholic priests. Earlier this year an anglican priest joined the catholic church... and he was married!
