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.

How did immigrants contribute to the conflict between Catholics and protestants in northern Ireland?
There was a big conflict in Northern Ireland, the part of the island of Ireland which is still in the UK. It was about whether they should stay in the UK, or join up again with the rest of Ireland. The majority of Protestants belonged to the Unionist parties who want to stay with Britain but the Catholics were mostly members of the Nationalist parties whowant to join with the Republic of Ireland.

What has changed between Catholics and protestants?
As the world becomes increasingly more secular and begins to fall apart at a faster and faster pace, I believe that many protestants (I mean those who truly believe in Jesus Christ, and are trying to live a Christian life as opposed to those who are mere cultural Christians because they were brought up that way) are coming to see that Catholics are actually Christians that are trying to live by Christ's teachings (of course the Catholics have the same problem in that huge numbers of them are cultural Catholics and not sincerely convinced Christians). Thus Catholics and protestants have come together to fight the appalling abortion scandal and all the other legalized sins in our society whether it be same-sex "marriage" or any of the other sinful tendencies in our modern society.
