I would be interested to know how other historically Catholic countries such as Poland are faring in the EU.<BR/><BR/>By the way, source studies by a few modern Irish scholars are leading many to see that Cromwell's atrocities have been greatly overblown. For example, the killings at Drogheda, while perhaps vicious even in a military context, were not perpetrated against defenseless Catholic women and children, but against armed Royalist armies which were actually largely Protestant. This does not absolve Cromwell for his actual sins or his admitted hatred for Catholicism, which was fanned by similarly overblown Protestant rhetoric about supposed Catholic atrocities.<BR/><BR/>MairnéalachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
