    An Taoiseach John A. Costello:
    "I have no hesitation in saying that we, as a Government, representing a people, the overwhelming majority of whom are of the one faith, who have a special position in the Constitution, when we are given advice or warnings by the authoritative people in the Catholic Church, on matters strictly confined to faith and morals, so long as I am here—and I am sure I speak for my colleagues—will give to their directions, given within that scope—and I have no doubt that they do not desire in the slightest to go one fraction of an inch outside the sphere of faith and morals—our complete obedience and allegiance." ... "I am an Irishman second, I am a Catholic first, and I accept without qualification in all respects the teaching of the hierarchy and the church to which I belong.

    But it's different when we do it right?

    Aren't the political affiliations religiously motivated?

    That's just a relic from a by-gone era. Just like the inheritance laws in regards to Prince George's gender religious laws will be changed if the need arises.

    Personally, I don't hold with monarchies, so I wouldn't be happy with whoever happened to be the royal scrounger of the age.

    Her family was mixed, but I believe she is Catholic. I recall her having to obtain permission from the archbishop of the time to attend Trinity.

    Specifically, 95% of your posts on this thread. You have not got a clue. You have obviously been taught using the sinn fein history book.You were not even around when thugs on both sides murdered innocents. Give it up. I just hope that when you grow up to be a big boy, you might mature just a little bit.
