I was told that Ian paisley got his doctorate from some obscure american university who offer degrees by post.
I remember well his tirade at Pope Paul and how he mobilised holders of shotgun licences to"defend" Ulster against "Popery"

The religious divide in Northern Ireland goes back centuries and has become little to do with religion nowadays. Its now a question of deeply held prejudices on all sides, laregly by non practicing "Christians"
The way to lasting peace is by rooting out those prejudices and starting with integrated schools where people can learn that they are not so different from the person in the next street or from across town
