1. Mixed feelings about this news.

twenty, thirty, or more years ago I would have cheered this on.

I believe in Home Rule, and the brutal history of English Rule was never lost on me.

These years however, my perspective and attitude of the Catholic Church has diminished greatly, as all Religions have.

Though I know it was historically the case of Religious warfare so to speak, I tended to think in terms of the colonization of English aggression and dominion rather than a Religious struggle.

Now I simply can't cheer Catholic rule anymore than I can cheer any other Religious Cult dominating any nation of people.
