Very good point to raise Akenaton. I was born a Catholic, but was not a very good one ! I did attend chapel until 1983 when Cathal Daly the then bishop in an attempt to please the British government had a statement read out that those who supported or were members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army had no place in the church. Well I walked out that day and never returned. Being born a Catholic in the North of Ireland wasn't my fault. Being turned into a Republican by repression wasn't my fault either. But I will die a Republican. For people to refer to me as a Catholic is funny. I consider a Catholic to be someone who attends mass and lives by it's strict code of rules.Not something I could do very well.But being born a Catholic was enough to get my crap knocked out more than once.Being turned into a Republican gave me a heart and a will to do something about it.Republicans are an anti-sectarian force in Irish politics.
