catholics

Nope, it was interesting to discover more about Catholic history. Most Irish talk about the oppression of the Protestant rule and how Daniel O'Connell emancipated the Catholics in the 1800's. The Catholics were not allowed to attend third year univerisity or school for that matter. They could not vote and were badly mistreated to state it mildly. I am never too sure whether I feel sympathetic and empathic as a Catholic or try to put everything into perspective. The Catholic church ran things with an iron fist for a long time before they were mistreated so are we getting our just desserts or were we punished for simply believing in a certain part of our faith? I know overall that it feels better to be on Catholic grounds rather than Protestant, because I felt quite alienated in England. hmm I am going to try again.
