Belfast Rules
At the beginning of each of the twenty-six chapters, a photo of an Irish church is displayed with little explanation or discussion of its origins. The author included them for no other reason than to reflect the relative inability to distinguish between Roman Catholic and "Protestant" as competing wings of Christianity in a land associated with religious thought. It is altogether strange that what started as a squabble between a ruling King and a Pope in Rome changed the course of history in Ireland and split an Island country into two sectors not unlike the sorrowful Island of Cyprus forever stained with the blood of two great cultures.
The photos of the churches are evenly split between Roman Catholic and Protestant with the odd-numbered chapters being Roman Catholic and the even-numbered chapters being Protestant. These churches were a valuable source of information about family roots for the millions of Irish that left their homeland for opportunity in another country in hopes of a freedom yet achieved in their own beloved Island nation.
There is no attempt to be an expert in such matters as the reasons for nuances of difference between various congregations of religious belief underneath the umbrella of Christianity. For such sort of scholarly research, it would be better to consult a true historical work constructed by a student of such complicated construction. The bricks, stone and stained glass windows of the churches are relatively interchangeable without the conflict of emotions and deeply-held convictions that mark the roots of "The Troubles".
Please note that the Protestant churches are Presbyterian, Methodist, or Church of Ireland. It was noted in the study material that the Church of Ireland was of "Anglican" origin and a logical follow-on to the Church of England. Most of the Roman Catholic churches are referred to as "Papist" churches by the other side and the Protestant churches are referred to as "Prod" churches in return. In the south, any mention of "Church of Ireland" would customarily be accompanied by spitting on the ground even inside a house or pub.
