Yeah, gee, Alex we know there’s no difference between Catholics including a actor playing the part of a long-since-dead Protestant and hundreds or even thousands of scumbag bigot Protestants marching in celebration of their forefathers conquest and suppression of Ireland. Yeah, no difference at all.
How did Ireland become Catholic, Vlad? Did it just spring out of the ground like a leprechaun, fully formed? Seems I recall some difficulties in that regard, historically speaking. If you want to rely upon Patrick, be aware that I’m aware of failed efforts preceding him, rather gory for all involved.
This has far more to do with politics than religion. The two were rather thoroughly intertwined in the past with state churches, however that is no longer the case, though you may very well rue the day for all I know.
Aren’t you a monarchist, by the way?
