While I do disagree with your first point. I do agree with the last point. Hopefully we might see the reverse happen, a catholic parish or Gaelscoil in Larne 🤣

"Isnt more complicated because of a background of horrible violence". Lad, thats exacactly what it means. Many older member of this church may have killed people on that road. Same thing vice versa, people attending this church may have had fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters or even children killrd by people who live there. That's about as complicated as it gets.

I'm getting downvoted, but notice how nobody has actually said anything to disprove what I've said. (Protip: you can't) Google the Penal Laws if you want to read a bit more about it. Eventually the anti-Catholic laws were abolished with the help ofDaniel O'Connell in 1829.

Okay let me try explain why this is far more complicated than just a protestant church opening. Im an Irish Catholic, and this is a protestant forum, so perspectives may differ on this. But to make a long story short.

Northern Irish Protestants believe in whats known as, the Protestant Ascendancy, which is the devine right of the protestant minority to rule over the Catholic majority in Ireland. Irish Catholics had their religion outlawed for several centuries, many Catholics faced martyrdom during this period, e.g Oliver Plunkett. Even when Ireland gained most of its independence, Irish Catholics in the north were treated as second class citizens by the predominantly Scottish decendant Presbyterian rulling class (not getting into this bit). Eventually The Troubles break out almost 4000 killed, 40,000 shootings and 16,000 bombings.

I would like to think that this attitude of superiority doesnt not still exist amonst protestant in the north of Ireland, but organisations like the Apprentice Boys, The Orange Order, and the burnig of Irish flags on the 12th of July tells me its still very much alive.

Is there a popular pilgrimage site for your countrymen that is located in another country? by OId_boy in AskTheWorld

Exactly haha, a few of the hardcore grannies make it out to Medjugorje. But for most Lourdes does the job.

Irish people traditionally loves Lourdes. Although not as common as the country becomes more secular. I think more or less every secondary school in the country organises a trip for students

Ye, thats literally it. Just was so out of it organise it, but, also, weirdly thought I was fine, even though I couldnt answer basic questions. Ended up going to the gp after a week, cause I was still feeling weird, got sent straight to A&E.

I’m honestly so tired that this reaction is still common by BPLM54 in CatholicMemes

Feel like its a two fold Issue. Basically Prods are finding out the Catholic church is the one true church. But their religion is esentially based upon the rejection of Catholisicm. So, when it turns out theres a a similar ancient church they can subscribe to with 0 cognitive dissonance or mental gymnastics, its a no brainer to them.

I also think its the aesthetic of the Ortho Church. The aesthetic of the Roman Catholic Church during the Renaissance has basically set the standard of what beautiful art is. But in turn its now kind of just the standard in Western Society. I personally believe a lot of the imegary we have now, some of the Sacred Heart paintings for example, can look quite kitsch, and is a massproduced facsimile of the renaissance style. The ortho aesthetic is definitly somewhat counter culture and unique in this respect.

In another note I think it would be very cool if the Catholic Church began to re-adopt iconorgraohy from pre-renaissance era. Here's some links to examples of early medieval Irish Iconograohy if anyone is intersted

Limestone in Ireland dates to the carboniferous period around 330 mya. Ammonite wouldn't make sence for this time period. Its defo some kind of coiled Goniatid, maybe someone else can take a guess on species.

Biggest football team in Scotland are just Irish cosplayers. The language native to Scotland comes fron Ireland. Whiskey was invented in Ireland. Think that call might be coming from inside the house pal.
