what was the true timeline of discontent between catholics and protestant in ireland?

Question

Which reflects a true timeline, of the discontent between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland and the events in this drama.

Answer 1

The issue in Northern Ireland is political not religious. The media, who is always looking for short cuts and not the whole story, calls the participants Catholics and Protestants.

The conflict is about whether the British territory (probably the wrong word) of Northern Ireland should remain British or should become part of Ireland.

The majority of people in Ireland are Catholics. The majority of people in England and Northern Ireland are Protestants. There are actually Catholics and Protestants on either side.

The terrorists on either side if the issue are not Christian in any sense of the word.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Since Ireland was an English Empire area, along with Scottland, it probably dates to Henry the VIII in 1538-9.

There were, however, rumblings back before the Catholics were around. It was said that an underground Bible movement was started by the man who gave up his Tomb for Jesus. I foget who that is now. Was his name Joseph? He was like a cousin or Uncle to Jesus. It was said he travelled to the area now known as the British Isles and started a monistary of Bible scribes. This was before the Catholic Church was formed or in tandem. Catholics, of course, don't read the Bible for interpretative reasons, hence all the Protestant hub-bub about reading the Bible and drawing your own conclusions was considered Herasey!

It's doubtful if Luther had much of a reach to Ireland. It's possible Wycliffe and Calvanistic thinking may have reached Ireland.

Probably the breaking with Rome by Henry was the start of it all.

Then came all the in-fighting between the English Royal houses, some of which were devote and some of which supported the new Church of England.

Then there was PArlimentary poltics.

One of the primary aims of all of this was to break the hold Rome had on so many nations. Kings and Queens had to bow to the Pope and the Pope had been taxing and demaning Crusades for centuries, sometimes with Dire results.

There was a lot of dissatisfaction among the nobels, so they embraced anything, such as Lutherians, Calvanists, the Church of England, anything that might weaken religions affect on matters of state, while still preserving religion for the people.

When push comes to shove it makes them all look quite silly and makes none of them look like they understand Jesus.

Love your neighbor. Love your enemy the most. Turn the other cheek.

All these things went right out the window!

Answer 3

I don't know about a true timeline, but Edward Rutherfurd's novels The Princes of Ireland and The Rebels of Ireland...sure does tell a great story of the conflicts between the two.

Answer 4

It depends on who you ask. Each side has a different date when they were oppressed or martyred by the other.

The first Christians to colonize and convert the island were what is now called Roman Catholic. When the English conquered and began colonizing the island, they also tried to undermine the Irish religious institutions by bringing in non-Catholic Scots and English.

In any case it's been a bloody mess since about the 16th century.

Answer 5

If that is homework you want to do somewhat prognosis and there'll be a variety of of help on the information superhighway on web content except this one. the in ordinary words element i'd say with reference to the discontent between both communities is that one and all those desirous about violence, in spite of which denomination they belong to, have not acted on God's behalf. they have acted selfishly and of their very own call in ordinary words. God did not tell them to act this kind and that i don't believe that one unmarried Roman Catholic or one unmarried Protestant who in contact themselves in this kind changed into ever a real Christian. They were/are merely church goers indoctrinated to hate one yet another from beginning. for decades it really is been an really unhappy position to be born.
