I heard Celtic irish/Scot are Prostestants, is that true, thought they are Catholics?

Question

I mean i talked to someone the other day saying Celtic Irish.Scots are Protestants, but then who are the Catholics? i always thought most Prostestants are British descent, anyone explain please.

Answer 1

The majority, I believe 90% or something, of the natives of Ireland are Catholic, but Britain, which is right next to Ireland, has a more Protestant faith, so an Irish Protestant or Catholic Brit would not be unheard of.

Answer 2

In the time of Henry VIII in Britain, there was a Protestant movement or revolution underway. Martin Luther helped to lead the Protestant Reformation in Britain and throughout Europe. What followed were violent, bloody battles.

"Martin Luther dealt the symbolic blow that began the Reformation when he nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenberg Church. That document contained an attack on papal abuses and the sale of indulgences by church officials."

The Irish Catholic (in Ireland) resisted changes in the church.

Answer 3

4. And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders [1] fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people[2]. Revelations 5:8 Who is [1] and where do they get [2] from? I have read the Protestant explanation and in the context of Revelations and the way this passage is written, saying , ohh its just people on earth praying to Jesus, makes less sense. There is a collection of prayers and they are being offered by elders. That Saints can intercede for us and do, as Jesus said we are one community and God is not the God of the dead (Mark 12:27) and can pray for each other makes sense. This does not violate that Jesus is the only mediator between God and man. Elijah and Enoch assumed bodily to heaven and the thief was told at the cross he would go, so its certainly possible according to the Bible and not a single passage contradicts or forbids that Saints can intercede for us in heaven. 6. The brothers and sisters in the Bible can be shown that certain ones are definitely not biological brothers to Jesus( read Matthew 13:55 and John 19:25 against each other and formulate a picture of the scene describe and the Marys and where they are and who their children are) . The term for them adelphoi (the greek word used in Matthew 13:55) encompasses blood brother, step-brother, nephew, uncle, cousin, etc.) or non-relatives such as neighbours, fellow workers, co-religionists, and friends. Because of this broad usage, we can be sure that the 120 "brothers" in Acts 1:15 did not have the same mother. Neither did Lot and his uncle Abraham, who were called "brothers" (Gen. 11:26-28, 29:15). According to Jewish law, if a man was betrothed to a woman and she became pregnant from another, he could never have relations with her. The man had to put her away privately or condemn her in public and put her to death. Joseph chose the more merciful option and would have violated the law if they had relations. Jesus broke Mosaic Law by giving Mary into the care of John at the cross (Mosaic Law would have dictated that she be given into the care of other natural children, since her firstborn son was dying) and is therefore not the Messiah and not God, but a simple, ordinary sinner. Jesus never sinned (Hebrews 4:15), Jesus was "born" under the law (Galatians 4:4). When the angel said that she would conceive and bear a son, she asked, "How can this be, since I do not know man?" She knew how babies were made, and she was about to be married. "How can this be?" would seem like a pretty silly question unless she had made a prior vow of virginity. 7 "‘As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.’ And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained’" (John 20:21–23). This is one of only two times we are told that God breathed on man, the other being in Genesis 2:7, when he made man a living soul. Deciding to retain or forgive sins implies confession. A catholic 1. seeks forgiveness the way Christ intended. 2. by confessing to a priest, the Catholic learns a lesson in humility, which is avoided when one confesses alone. 3. can also obtain sound advice on avoiding sin in the future. 9 The notion that Peter (who was repeatedly put as head of the apostles) was called a pebble by Jesus is ridicules and the passages that follow are reduced to nonsense. Why ask Peter, if he loves Jesus to protect and feed his sheep? St Irenaeus, around A.D. 185, traces the pope of his day all the way back to Peter, naming every pope in between.
