Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book centers on the various criticisms made against the late Sir Horace Plunkett's 1904 book, Ireland in the New Century, which blamed Ireland's economic woes on the deep-rooted influence of the Catholic faith in the country. The author takes issue with these claims, arguing that centuries of British oppression and economic discrimination are the true causes. The book offers an insightful critique of the persisting anti-Catholic bigotry within certain sectors of Irish society. The author provides a historical backdrop to the penal laws and the subsequent establishment of the Protestant Ascendancy in Ireland, shedding light on the deep-rooted causes of Irish poverty. The author also explores the role of the Catholic Church in Irish history, contrasting its positive contributions to Irish culture and society with the more negative assessments of its critics. Ultimately, the book highlights the complex relationship between religion, economics, and Irish history, challenging the simplistic and often inaccurate assumptions made by those who blame Ireland's troubles on the Catholic Church.
