It's not about religion. It's about the British being in Ireland. The British like it to appear as if there is a religious war going on and that they are keeping the sides separate. This is not the case. There are Catholic unionists and protestant members of the IRA. Catholics tend to be republican leaning and protestants tend to want to remain tied to Britain however.
The above answer is based solely on personal opinion & Anti British sentiment.There has ALWAYS been a religious element to the 'Troubles'.To suggest otherwise is not an objective argument.Its not however as simple as being Catholic or Protestant.
If it wasnt somewhat to do with religion, there would be NO sectarian violence.Known murderers & criminals now lead the political wing of the IRA.FACT.

Most of the conflict was between Catholics and Protestants (primarily Lutherans and Calvinists), but there was also discrimination and pogroms against Jews who were defenseless.
The same reason religious conflicts arise anywhere: because religious groups fight over their differences no matter where they are.

Religious differences between Catholics and Protestants.
They wanted to eat a burger but it wasn't invented yet :'(....sad
Sir Walter Raleigh held anti-Catholic beliefs primarily due to the religious and political conflicts between Protestants and Catholics during his time. Raleigh lived in a period marked by religious strife in England, where Catholics were seen as threats to the Protestant establishment. This likely influenced his negative views towards Catholics.
Roman Catholic AnswerFor the main part, conflicts between protestants and Catholics have been more conflicts between different peoples who happen to be Catholic or protestant. For instance, in Ireland, the Irish, who were fighting to save their nation, all happened to be Catholic, while the English were all protestant. Other conflicts have come about because of ignorance and/or intolerance. For the most part protestants have been brought up to believe that Catholics are not Christian and are worse than pagans. This has been very unfortunate, with disastrous results in some cases. I, myself, was brought up in a protestant household and Catholic beliefs were beyond the pale. I have heard that everbody was warned at my parents wedding to not tell my mother's grandmother that the bridegroom's mother was Catholic. All very sad.
Yes, Calvinists did face opposition from Catholics in Germany during the 16th and 17th centuries. This period saw religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, and tensions were particularly high between Calvinists and Catholics. The Peace of Augsburg in 1555 granted some religious freedom to Lutherans, but Calvinists were still persecuted and faced restrictions in Catholic areas.
its a possibliity

There is no difference. Catholics play the same sports and in the same manner as a Protestant.
Yes. The 17th Century was dominated by religious wars between Protestants and Catholics, including conflicts in France, Spain, Portugal, England, The Holy Roman Empire, and most of Western Europe. Currently, though, the Irish conflict is the only international conflict between Catholics and Protestants.
Catholics are part of the Roman Catholic Church while Presbyterians are part of the Reformed Protestant tradition. Catholics believe in the authority of the Pope and sacraments while Presbyterians follow a Presbyterian form of government with elected elders. Additionally, Catholics have a strong emphasis on tradition and liturgical worship, whereas Presbyterians typically have a simpler worship style.
