“Maybe the Anglicans should give back the relics of Catholic saints, and the Catholic Cathedrals, too.”

Whine much? Do you go around asking the Nestorians to hand over to you the churches that their ancestors built and the bones of their forefathers too?

No, I don't whine, but I do respond when people attack my faith. And don't deceive yourself, Ms. Makkai thinks she's attacking Catholicism.

Do you go around asking the Nestorians to hand over to you the churches that their ancestors built and the bones of their forefathers too?

Are you trying to imply that the Catholic Irish are some sort of foreign tribe which has no claim on either the Cathedral -- which was indeed built by their ancestors -- or the relics of St Laurence -- who is, indeed, their forefather? If anyone's a foreign tribe in Ireland, it's not them.

As for the Nestorians, if a Nestorian minority, enabled by a heretical monarch, seized those churches by force, they ought to give them back.

You can't very well say it's wrong for the government to steal from one group to give to another when the IRS does it on April 15, but defend it when Henry VIII and Elizabeth I do exactly the same thing on behalf of Protestants against Catholics, especially in a Catholic-majority country.
