Catholic Church in Ireland Puns

Fewer and fewer young people guzzling vast quantities of mass these days. And I feel that a lot of those that do are just going through the motions

Get them out of the country. Take the land they "own". Fucking cancer on the world, doing nothing but making life worse for alot of people

Can someone explain how this is different from attacking mosques after 9/11?

I am no fan of the Catholic Church, but this seems a childish way to react. Don't throw paint. Sue them. Sue them until they have to start over as a humble, poor religion.

[So, in total, 3500

Some will say Gay Byrne on morning radio, giving voice to women trapped in abusive marriages & have no body autonomy. Some would say the States of Fear documentary. Obviously the clerical abuse tribunials hastened the downfall but what was the spark that lit the flame.

Decades ago politicians would touch contentious issues with a barge poll for fear of offending the church & electorate. Contraception, gay rights, divorce, abortion were completely off the table. It's all flipped inside my generation, what would you regard as the catalyst.

How was it the case that Ireland remained staunchly Catholic while the entirety of the United Kingdom became Protestant? The English were able to all but eliminate the Irish language, why did they allow the church to continue?

This question has puzzled me for a bit, why is Northern Ireland’s Catholic Church growing but Ireland’s in shrinking? I’ve tried to find a reason but couldn’t find one anywhere. Thanks in advance for your answers. Edit: thanks for your answers, I have now concluded that there are many reasons for this. Slàn.

Needed for a university project, I want to see if the catholic church's income has been boosted by the rise in believers during the pandemic.

Thanks!
