Catholic protestant war in Ireland

Answer 1

It was not between Catholics and Protestants and there were no winners. The troubles related to politics, not religion as is often portrayed. There is now a power-sharing agreement between representatives of the unionist/loyalist community and the nationalist/republican community. There are still people that are not happy with that, but most people have benefited, so it could be said that everyone has won.

Answer 2

How can any question be naive?

But I'm afraid the supplied answer is wrong. You have to go further back in history to find the truth. Back to the 12th century at least. To the reign of Henry the V111.

Henry rejected the Roman church and placed the English church under his control.

One question would be to ask; Why did he do this?

This church was to become more protestant, moving away from Catholicism and what it stood for. An antichrist, false worship, and the Sabbath day changed from Saturday to a Sunday, so that all worshippers trying to lead a 'good and true life' became fooled into doing otherwise. (To name a few things).

Ireland remained mostly catholic (and messed up) but the war between the catholics and protestants stems from that. Britain stepped in to keep the peace and were welcomed by the catholics at first because they were 'on' their side. But Britain cocked everything up by its heavy handed treatment, arresting mostly innocent catholics and interning them. In doing so both sides 'turned' against Britain

This text explains the start further and the link will take matters through to the start of 'troubles' in Ireland.

The simple fact remains is that the papel roman catholic church are guilty of a lot of things that people have forgotten, for the purpose of furthering their own causes. As far away from God as possible but using his name for deception!

Ireland (all or part of it, at various times) was a colony of

the English (originally the Anglo-Normans) from the 12th

century. From the late middle ages it was a kingdom, under the

same monarch as England, but a separate country. In law and in

practice, the Irish government was usually subordinate to the

English government.

Henry VIII rejected Rome and put the Church in England under his

personal control. This church was to became more protestant,

particularly under Elizabeth I. Ireland's population remained

mainly Roman Catholic. The conflict between Catholicism and

Protestantism played a large part in 17th century several wars

in England and Ireland: civil wars, colonial wars, and at least

one war (c. 1690) that was part of a wider European conflict.

Following some of these disruptions, the winners forcibly

transferred ownership of large amounts of land to new landlords,

and sometimes new tenants: those who had supported the winning

side or those who they felt would support them in the future.

True be told... This is a very naive question. Ireland's war has NEVER been Catholic vs. Protestant. The Irish War of Independence began during the Easter Rising of 1916 and because Ireland was mostly Catholic at that time and England was mostly Protestant, people claimed that it was a religious war. In fact, Ireland was and is strictly fighting for their freedom from England.

M. OR.

Springfield, Ma.

Ireland never fought Britian, only paramilitaries did. The government did not.

Answer 4

I’ve been to Northern Ireland and I took the black cab tour. The company is free to travel between both sides of the peace wall because it claims it has no ties to either side. They operate separate from Protestants and Catholics. The Catholic side has graffiti up marking how many people were killed when they were fighting, who got the most kills. People aren’t willing to really mingle with the other side and being there was really off putting. As an outsider, I could feel it and I saw it. It’ll always be one of my favorite trips since my family and I did a full tour of Ireland clockwise and stayed 2-3 days in Northern Ireland. If I went back, I’d probably skip it. It was an experience, but you have to be safe there.
