They were forced to pay taxes to the Anglican Church.
Most Catholics favoured home rule.
No.. the IRA are a primarily Irish Catholic organization.
It's pretty much exclusively Catholics who are Irish or of Irish descent.
The Battle of the Boyne
Yes. Roman Catholics were aboard the First Fleet. The First Fleet consisted of some Irish Catholics as well as the English prisoners.
Irish Catholics became bitter primarily due to a series of historical injustices, including the English conquest and colonization of Ireland, which led to land dispossession and political marginalization. The Protestant Ascendancy enforced laws that discriminated against Catholics, restricting their rights to own land, vote, and hold public office. The Great Famine in the mid-19th century exacerbated their suffering, as British government responses were inadequate and often neglectful. These events fostered deep resentment and a sense of betrayal among Irish Catholics towards British rule.
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
