There is some progress, there is some friendship between catholics and protestants but some people will refuse to forget about the past, personally I think N. Ireland is a dump, I don't think the conflict between catholics and protestants will ever change, however, it has improved over the years and hopefully will continue to do so.

∙ 16y agoLife in Northern Ireland today is much better than it used to be compared with the 1970s, 1980s and even most of the 1990s. There is still some slight conflict between Protestants and Roman Catholics but it is nowhere near on the same scale as it used to be. And largely these slight clashes don't result in violence. So generally speaking Northern Ireland is now a very peacefull and a rather nice place to live. - There isn't as much violence now as there used to be, however you still have to be careful about where you go if you are a certain religion. There are still people who will murder you if they find out of your religious persuasion. The paramilitary organisations ar still in existence, the most recent at this time (2008) being in 2007. Most of the violence has been forced underground, but it is still there.

∙ 14y agoThat conflict should not be referred to in terms of Catholic and Protestant because it is political, economic and territorial more than religious. Wrong terminology used to manipulate through semantics. imo.

What were conflicts between the protestants and the 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.
