- Irish Catholic
Irish Catholics is a term used to describe people of
Roman Catholic background who are Irish or ofIrish descent .The term is of note due to Irish immigration to many countries of the
English speaking world , particularly as a result of theIrish Famine in the 1840s - 1850s, following which the population declined by over half in the following century (from approx. over 8 million to just over 4 million) due to the pattern of immigration begun then. The term has currency in theUnited Kingdom , theUnited States ,Canada ,Australia , andNew Zealand . These nations had, or have, a majority ofProtestant s; thus, both aspects - being Catholic, and being Irish - at times separated them from the mainstream culture. In the United States, hostility to both these aspects was expressed through theKnow-Nothing movement andNativism in general.The term can also relate to a period when Catholicism in Ireland was somewhat divergent from the "Roman" church. Though mostly reconciled with the
Synod of Cashel in 1172, some elements unique within the practice of Catholicism and Catholic culture remained inIreland .'Irish Catholic' is also used to distinguish Catholic inhabitants of
Ireland from theUlster-Scots and theAnglo-Irish , and the North American descendants of Irish Catholic emigrants from theScots-Irish . It does not necessarily refer to religion, as there are many Irish Catholics who belong to other faiths or, indeed, no faith at all (such asEamonn McCann )."
