Adrian IV and Ireland
In 1155, Adrian IV granted the Papal Bull 'Laudabiliter', three years after the Synod of Kells in 1152, to the Angevin King Henry II of England. He urged him to invade Ireland to bring its Celtic Christian Church under the Roman system, and conduct general reform of governance and society throughout the island. The authenticity of this grant, the historian Edmund Curtis says, is one of "the great questions of history." He states that the matter was discussed at a Royal Council at Winchester, but that Henry's mother, the Empress Matilda, had protested against it. In Ireland however, nothing seems to have been known of it, and no provision had been made against the prospect of Angevin Norman aggression, despite their westward expansion throughout England and Wales.[12] Ernest F. Henderson states that the existence of this Bull is doubted by many [13] while, in noting that its authenticity has been questioned without success, P. S. O'Hegarty suggests that the question is now purely an academic one. It is notable that decisions of Pope Alexander III, his successor, Lucius III, and King Henry VIII in proclaiming the Crown of Ireland Act 1542 was predicated on this document.[14]

Of course it was because he was English not because he was Pope that some lads will focus on.

Better to be a shit-stitter than a foreign Pope selling Ireland to a foreign Monarch.

after all the shite thats been happening perhaps its time we reformed the Celtic Christian Church, we could celebrate mass on Sceilig Mhichíl.

Or we could go back to Handfasting and do a bit of the old paganism.

A CoI minister I used to lecture with in Japan, did research into the early Irish Christian church and concluded that we were more closely linked to the Egyptian Coptic Church before the English arrived.

Couldn't remember when the Normans came but remembered that we were sold out.  Damn you Diarmuid McMurrough.

Normans Arrive in Ireland:
On May 1, 1169, the first large group of Norman soldiers landed at Bannow Bay in Co. Wexford. Soon more Norman knights and soldiers joined them. MacMurrough and his army also joined them. They marched to Wexford town. The Vikings who lived there marched out thinking they could defeat Dermot and his army. They were amazed to see how well equipped the Normans were. Within a day Wexford was captured.

In August 1170, Strongbow (Richard de Clare) landed near Waterford with a group of about 1200 Normans (200 knights and 1000 soldiers). They defeated the Vikings and the Irish who lived in Waterford and captured the city. Then Strongbow got married to Aoife, a daughter of Dermot. (Dermot MacMurrough is often known as Diarmuid na nGall). Soon after this MacMurrough and Strongbow captured Dublin City. Dermot MacMurrough died suddenly, in May 1171, and Strongbow became king of Leinster.

Thats it Denn, Church & State screw us over and 750 years and still they fighting reform. Diarmuid McMurrough &  Richard de Clare's Proto-Fianna Fail Party organised the invasion I heard  Might have been some drunk lad down in Killarney that toldme that to be honest.

Ah but who is "we" now? "We" are as much the Normans who invaded as we are the Vikings who were in Wexford and the Gaels about the place.
