Aye, you'll be saying "Top 'o the morning" and "begorrah" to all of us.

A few comments really struck me:

"My only regret is that these Christian relics are preserved in a museum and not in churches."

Then stop being an Anglican. It was the Reformation which took those relics out of the churches in the first place. It is a miracle any of them survived!

"Given the depopulated state of the Church of Ireland, I wondered aloud to my wife, why don’t the Anglicans extend Christian charity to their Catholic brothers and sisters by returning one of the historic cathedrals to them ?"

Yeah, that'll be the day.

My friend, I believe charity would be in order, given that sionnsar is a layman living now, as opposed to a member of Parliament or the English royalty in the 16th century, at whose feet those wrongs may rightly be placed.

The depredations of the past are regrettable on many parts and have left scars that clearly still sting. That pain should remind us that we all have transgressed, have resentments and need forgiveness.

I am certainly not standing in the way of any Anglican layman to start a campaign in his sect to return what was stolen from Catholics. Is there any such movement? Nope.

Ah. That would be the hostile approach I see. I will not respond in kind, particularly as I have no way to urge the Church of Ireland to do something (I am not a member, nor am I in communion with them). You could write them and ask.

An act of justice, or calling for justice, is not a hostile act.

Still being an arrogant bigot, I see.

You give us Catholics a bad name (yes, I am one, even though you accused me of not being one.)

With one in every four Americans claiming some Irish or Scot Irish ancestry, the place should be covered with American tourists. It truly is a beautiful land.

Maybe someday.....:^)

Let's hope the smoking ban has been lifted by the time you do!

Is the ban in effect in the North too?

No.. not yet.... only a matter of time, I'd say - seeing as they are trying to ban it elsewhere in the UK.
