Unfortunately but hopefully not for too longI was talking about the whole of Ireland and was not stating that the whole of it was in UK. But as I understand it Northern Ireland is still part of the UK

I want to make a defense for Ireland, true the Church is crumbling here, Atheism is taking hold and we are in the grips of a bad recession but⊠Ireland still has a great many faithful, you can still go on a pilgrimage in bare feet if you want to the top of Saint Patricks mountain and fear nothing. You can spend a weekend on retreat in Lough Derg and be among many brothers and sisters. Visit the basilica in Knock. Visit many many ancient Christian and pre-Christian sites. Almost every fifth field has a protected historic and predominately Christian site. Many beautiful places to be alone to pray knowing that one saint or other in the past probably prayed there. Never thirst as we have some of the finest rainfall in the world.
On the economic front, things are not all gloom, yes there is a lot of immigration but there are well over a thousand unfilled software jobs, the medical industry is doing well and finally there is a small boom in agriculture.
Iâm still pretty certain that most Irish people are as welcoming and warm as we are known to be and are still grateful of the homes we were allowed to make in many other countries over the years.
So I vote for Ireland, come what may good or bad. I think one of our best features is being an Island.
SĂ© do bheatha, a Mhuire,
atĂĄ lĂĄn de ghrĂĄsta,
TĂĄ an Tiarna leat.
Is beannaithe thĂș idir mnĂĄ,
Agus is beannaithe toradh do bhroinne, Ăosa.
A Naomh-Mhuire, a MhĂĄthair DĂ©,
guigh orainn na peacaigh,
anois, agus ar uair ĂĄr mbĂĄis.
Amen.
God Bless to all.

You cannot escape.
Why would you want to?
Play with the cards at hand.
This is the best time to be alive since time began in my opinion; please donât dare waste it.

There is no paradise on earth. There are only compromises.
That said, it may be useful to move if you feel the need for it and find a better community elsewhere. Many of us have experienced the call of the Promised Land. Just be aware that a move requires a lot of energy and money⊠and will not necessarily be successful. Donât rely on statistical information; itâs not because a country or area have 97% of catholics in them that you will necessarily be at home there. In fact, you may come across an area where catholics are a minority and, because of that, you will be particularly welcome there. Follow your faith, but also your common sense.

I am an American who is very, very, very grateful to have come to Ireland.
Ireland has suffered tragic secularisation, globalisation and terrible scandals in recent years, but her Catholic heritage and culture remain deeply, deeply moving.
At least I can say that I have lived in not only American but also six European countries and nothing comes close to Ireland for me âŠ
The warmth of the people, the displays of piety, particularly when you get out of Dublin âŠ
I have a website devoted to the Sacred Heart and Catholic Tradition, but I have been and will increasingly be blogging about Catholic Ireland.
