Yes, obviously Ireland moving away from the teaching of the Catholic Church is a great thing. Now they can kill some babies.
You have a point af-vet...but I am referring to the Roman Catholic church here,not the “One Holy and Catholic “ church. In the sense you use the word, I myself am Catholic, I belong to the universal church established by Jesus and the apostles. As for Protestants, you have a point about Birth control and the defection that is liberal theology. I have no doubt that led to the destruction of morals in Ireland. But it is a proven fact that the scandals of 1994-2004 led directly to the wholesale defection in Ireland and liberalizing of formerly strict laws against Divorce and Abortion.
