As Minimalist intimated, most people grow up sooner or later. The Church has forever been a stinking blight on Ireland - prohibiting divorce (your drunken husband beats you bloody? Stay married or go to hell), prohibiting contraception (Jesus will love you best if you pound out a baby a year until you die), holding a centuries-long stranglehold on education (agree that God made the world or be beaten by a priest), colluding with the British crown to keep the laity subjected (look up the Penal Laws sometime, and see who had the biggest hand in enforcing them), and the perpetual buggery of children.
What kind of idiot asks a question like 'What's up with Ireland?' You're either playacting, or you're the most stunningly ignorant wretch I've come across in yonks.
Yes, the Irish are gradually abandoning their Catholic faith, and good on them for it. An apt analogy would be, 'Why on Earth are you climbing OUT of that cesspit?'
You should be ashamed of yourself, TC.
