They were forced to pay taxes to the Anglican Church.

The Battle of the Boyne

Any Catholics from Ireland are Irish Catholics.
They worship God in churches as do all Catholics.
As immigrants, the Irish Catholics were treated very badly. Employment ads began to contain the phrase, "Irish need not apply." This was because they were Catholics The Protestants did not like them because of centuries of religious wars.

The Irish Catholics were afraid of a possible invasion of anti-Catholic forces from the Long Parliament in England.
It wasn't so much between Catholics and protestants as between Irish (who were mostly Catholic) and Englishmen (who were mostly protestant). The Irish objected to the English (and their descendants) living in their country and oppressing them, particularly as English law suppressed the Catholic faith, and the practice thereof. It made life particularly difficult for Irish Catholics for whom the practice of their faith was illegal. One of the unforeseen benefits was, that for the most part, the Catholic faith of the Irish was particularly strong, comparable to the oppressed Catholics in Poland. As the Catholics have gained ascendancy, they have started to lose their faith and become indistinguishable from other modern people.

This has happened to very few Catholics and their terrorist actions were certainly not those of a Catholic. It happened because Catholics were made feel and were treated as second class citizens, compared to Protestants..AnswerThis has little if nothing to do with religion. The English came in and took over Ireland, subjecting them, for many years, to cruel oppression. It just so happens that the English were all protestant and the Irish were all Catholic. It has mainly been a fight by the Irish to reclaim their country. It has NOTHING to do with "Catholics" becoming "terrorists".
the roman catholics were part of it
