    A paragraph from http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/events/battle_of_the_boyne

    The Pope backs King Billy
    William is celebrated to this day as a champion of Protestantism, but he was nonetheless backed by the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Alexander VIII. The Pope was part of a 'Grand Alliance' against Louis XIV's warring in Europe and supported William's reconquest of Ireland.

    What the fcuk? I had no idea. Is this true?

    Is it any wonder when you look at what modern Unionists do?
