Question

Is there still hostility between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland?

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

I've heard of places where catholic school girls need protection to go to school and back home, so I guess the answer is yes.

Answer 3

The issue in Northern Ireland is political not religious. The media, who is always looking for short cuts and not the whole story, calls the participants Catholics and Protestants.

The conflict is about whether the British territory (probably the wrong word) of Northern Ireland should remain British or should become part of Ireland.

The majority of people in Ireland are Catholics. The majority of people in England and Northern Ireland are Protestants. There are actually Catholics and Protestants on either side.

The terrorists on either side of the issue are not Christian in any sense of the word.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

Very much so, but how Catholic are the Catholics and how Protestant are the Protestants? How Christian are any bigoted people?

Sad to say but as secularism and consumerism make their inroads on the heels of the new found peace and recent prosperity, so are old barriers increasingly broken down. It seems odd that greed is doing what Christianity hasn't.

There is still much to be done bfore we have true peace which is more than the absence of violence.
