Protestant divisiveness over there is not actually about faith at all
Not OK
PS: thank you for making the difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland.
Okay, I get what you’re saying. For the record, I did find chyron’s assessment simplistic, I was just commenting on the tone of your response.
It’s heresay anyway. I told you in general what I remember what they in general told me that someone told them while on a tour there. The guide said something to the effect of not even wanting to live in the same neighborhood as the other. So yes, it’s simplistic, but my point is it’s not actually about disagreements between doctrines.

If you speak only about “the Troubles” (after 1960), then OK, this is a segregation problem based on ethnical and sectarian criteria more than a question of faith.
Yes, Northern Ireland. Not Ireland.
I was not talking about the history. I was talking about the current state of things, so yes, I guess.
