	Irish Catholic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Irish Catholics is a term used to describe Irish people or people of Irish descent who are of Roman Catholic background.
		The term is of note due to Irish emigration in the colonies of the British empire.
		'Irish Catholic' is also used to distinguish catholic inhabitants of Ireland from the Ulster-Scots, and the North American descendents of Irish catholic emigrants from the Scots-Irish.

	Irish American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The issue of job discrimination against Irish immigrants is a hotly debated among historians, with some insisting that the "No Irish need apply" signs so familiar to the Irish in memory were myths,[9], and others arguing that the Irish continued to be discriminated against in various professions into the 20th century.
		Many Irish Americans Catholics were enthusiastic supporters of Irish independence; after that was achieved in 1921, they generally lost interest in the politics of the old country until political violence erupted in Northern Ireland in 1969.
		The Irish had a reputation of being very well organized, and, since 1850, have produced a majority of the leaders of the Catholic Church in the U.S., labor unions, the Democratic Party in larger cities, and Catholic high schools, colleges and universities.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Irish (In Countries Other Than Ireland)
		Irish names, however, are met with occasionally in the documents relating to these settlements; it is certain that there were Irish Catholics in the Virginia Colony prior to 1633.
		Later, in May, 1879, the Irish Catholic Colonization Association of the United States was established at Chicago, under the auspices of various archbishops, with the co-operation of eminent Irish Catholic laymen, and during the ensuing decade it assisted many immigrants to find homes in the Western states.
		As a result of the activities of these associations, Irish Catholics in many parts of the country, almost alone among all classes of the population, were subjected to insult and oppression and were made the victims of mob violence, their dwellings demolished, their families made homeless, their churches and convents fired, and their clergy ill-treated.

		Irish Catholic men were also especially likely to seek government employment (especially as police officers) or to find jobs under contractors who held city contracts or in public utilities, such as street railways.
		This high degree of ethnic solidarity reflected both the discrimination that Irish Catholics faced as well as their belief that their job security and economic well-being depended on ethnic unity in the face of hostility from the nation's Protestant majority.
		Mass Irish Catholic immigration in the mid- and late-1840s led to the rise of the viciously anti-Catholic Know Nothing party, which drew support from many native-born white workingmen.

		By these laws the Catholics were deprived of all civil life, reduced to the condition of ignorance and dissociated with the soil.
		Catholic priests and schoolmasters frequently were forced into hiding in caves or holes in the ground so they could survive long enough to perform their all too short life's work.
		By 1760, the establishment of the Catholic Committee by Charles O'Conor and John Curry, combined with pressure for the repeal of the Penal Laws led to a series of Catholic Relief Acts in 1778, 1782, 1772-1793.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Irish Literature
		Early Irish literature and the sagas relating to the pre-Christian period of Irish history abound with references to ogham writing, which was almost certainly of pagan origin, and which continued to be employed up to the Christianization of the island.
		These, according to Irish historians, were a body of Irish janissaries maintained by the Irish kings for the purpose of guarding their coasts and fighting their battles, but they ended by fighting the king himself and were destroyed by the famous cath (or battle of) Gabhra (Gowra).
		The Irish probably learnt the use of letters in the second century, but did not use the Roman alphabet until the country was converted to Christianity in the fourth and fifth centuries.

	Irish Catholic Church Attendance Down
		DUBLIN, Ireland - Only half of Roman Catholics attend weekly Mass in predominantly Catholic Ireland, and 75 percent believe priests should be allowed to marry, according to an opinion poll published Thursday.
		Thursday's survey indicated that most Roman Catholics placed equal blame on the government and the church for allowing child abuse to go unchecked in Ireland's church-run schools, workhouses and orphanages until the 1980s.
		About 87 percent said they wanted their children raised as Catholics, and 49 percent said priests played an important role in society - compared with 35 percent for lawyers, 22 percent for politicians and 20 percent for journalists.

		One of the least-known stories of the Irish who came to America in the 1840s is that of the Irish battalion that fought on the Mexican side in the U.S.-Mexico War of 1846-1848.
		For the Irish, it was the beginning of massive evictions, starvation, sickness, and death.
		As Irish veterans returned from the Civil War and gained political power, they were increasingly seen as a branch of the white race (Celtic American) by the so-called scientific theorists who had previously denied them that privilege.

	Irish-Catholic and Dangerous
		The whole issue of works participating in salvation (Catholic) as opposed to works produced by salvation (Protestant) is, quite possibly, the crux of all issues that we could discuss.
		You see, what you don't understand about Catholic theology is that, yes you feel guilt over how often and easily you break the commandments, but because of the sacrament of reconciliation instituted by Christ Himself, if you confess your sins, you need no longer feel guilt because your sins have been forgiven.
		Catholics revere you and point you out as the establisher of the old-time faith, and -an even greater glory- all heretics hate you.

		The women are abused mentally, physically, and emotionally (well displayed in a particular scene where the women are horribly maligned sexually by one of the nuns), casting a dark pall on the Catholic Church of Ireland and most especially on the nuns.
		And while the stories of the women are fictitious, the director makes them seem real (somewhat disingenuously) as he scripts out futures for four of the girls and runs them in the closing credits.
		The film is venomous towards the Catholic Church, and the Vatican has claimed that it's basically anti-Catholic rhetoric.

		Miller is a professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia, and renowned authority on emigration of the Irish to North America.
		The one is Gaelic, Catholic, nationalist, and ‘Irish,’ whereas the other is English and Scottish, Protestant, unionist or loyalist, and ‘British.’ Very recently, there has been a tendency in Northern Ireland to simplify this model even further, by distinguishing solely between the ‘Irish’ and the ‘Ulster Scots’ inhabitants of Ireland’s northern province.
		Thus, Parker and his predecessors were engaged simultaneously in two cultural and political projects: to draw sharp ethno-religious boundaries between ‘their people’ and Irish Catholics; and to impose on the former conservative or bourgeois standards of opinion and behavior.

		It was the first meeting of its kind between the archbishop, president of the Irish bishops' conference, and members of the Loyal Orange Lodge and the Royal Black Preceptory, two of the fraternities known for their summer parades through Catholic neighborhoods.
		The most public manifestation of the Loyal Orders' activities take the form of parades, hundreds of which are held throughout the summer in what is known as the Protestant marching season.
		Most of these parades take place without incident but some, which pass through predominantly Catholic districts, are bitterly resented by residents, who see the parades as expressions of Protestant triumphalism over their Catholic neighbors.
