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".

Why did immigrants go to Delaware?

Some Irish Catholic immigrants gravitated to Delaware partly because it was one of only four revolutionary states with constitutional protection for Catholics. (Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia were the others that gave Catholics constitutional equality with other Christians.)

What are the main differces between protestants and catholics in Northern Ireland?

Their differences are their religious culture. Catholics are often nationalists in that they want Ireland to become one state Protestants are often unionists in that they want to remain apart of the United Kingdom. Catholics believe that the English monarch who are protestant oppressed them Protestants have the same religion as the monarch and therefore believe that the the British monarch is good. Catholics see the Pope as head of their church Protestants see the Queen as head of their church. However many protestants prefer to call the Queen as leader of their church with God being the head of the Church. Catholics see the tri-colour flag as their flag Protestants see the union flag as their flag
