minus-squareandros_rex@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 month ago OK? What does that mean? Heck are they Catholics from Ireland or American Roman Catholics whose ancestors cane from Ireland? You know diaspora is a thing, and a lot of Irish American families identify specifically as Irish Catholics? Also had a buddy that was actually from Ireland and raised Catholic. He was a pretty vocal atheist but also hooked me onto how lit Sinn Fein is.

minus-squareandros_rex@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 month agoAm I claiming a special status here? He does not talk like any Catholic I have known. I have family who are Irish Catholics who attend regularly. My claim is that he doesn’t sound like Catholics I have known, specifically the family members I have who have specific ties to both Irishness and Catholicism and identify with both, as do many members of the diaspora. (From my buddies stories about seeing things like “kill all taigs” graffiti growing up - I think there’s maybe something special about being an Irish Catholic that might merit being called an “Irish Catholic” rather than a regular one. Do the Polish American Catholics in Chicago worship at the same parishes as the Irish American ones?) You’re kinda galloping all over the place looking for a point to make.
