Oh, by the way, Keith keeps quoting articles by Fr Séamus Murphy SJ, an Irish Jesuit priest who has been living in Chicago and teaching at Loyola University since 2009. He taught philosophy at Milltown Institute, Dublin, Ireland from 1987 to 1990, and again from 1996 to 2008. Click here for his bio from the Irish Jesuits.

Jim, he hasn't lived in the United States long enough for us to call him an American.

He had an article called Imposing Independence in the April 25 issue of the Jesuit America Magazine. He makes some good points, but I found him to be overly critical of the Easter Rising participants. I suppose he has a right to his opinion, despite my disagreement.
