IRELAND NEVER SET UP A

cessor of st. Peter Henry VIII. rob-

Ireland, divided in questions of ma
tionality and political economy, was
always one in questions of religion.
The Dane was resisted to the death,
not because he invaded its sanctuaries.
Every man WAS willing to war against
the invader being told by his faith If
he fell in such cause he could claim
