I love Ireland, but I am sort of sad about the direction it has chosen to take in the past 25 years or so.
They have legalized divorce, contraception, and now gay marriage. I get part of the reason this happened was the decline of faith among Irishmen and Irishwomen. But I have to think part of it was foreign international "colonialist" thinking.
People who thought the Irish were "backward" and needed to be "modern." That way of thinking is sort of offensive IMO, as if a group of people can't decide what is good for them.
As it stands.. how likely is it Ireland could "turn back the clock" and be restored to being a truly Catholic nation?
I want it to be so.... but I won't hold my breath

What lead you to believe that ATHEIST forums was the best place to ask this question?

I just feel Ireland has fallen victim to the globalist, anti Catholic agenda.
There are not enough nuns anymore to care for all who need their help and support.
I was taught by nuns and fear the lack of people who have the courage to commit to celibacy

It could be. Join your countries politics and dictate it the way you want to.

No. Back to the "Holy Catholic Ireland" of Eamon De Valera, one where the RCC had a special place in government.
Pretty sure St. Patrick would be turning in his grave if he saw what Ireland has become
Back to Celtic times would be far more interesting and, likely, better for the people.

Wasn't it a workhouse that was found to have a mass grave recently?

Link please! And mass grave? idk, but the people were dead. They had to bury them somewhere.
Its not like the nuns ran some internment camp or something. They were caring for unfortunate souls who helped earn their keep by doing laundry occassionally
