爱尔兰天主教徒

爱尔兰天主教徒是一个同时是天主教徒和爱尔兰人的民族宗教团体，本土于爱尔兰。爱尔兰天主教徒在全球各地有着大量流散侨民，其中包括超过2000万美国人。

## 概述和历史

爱尔兰天主教徒和爱尔兰新教徒之间的分歧在16世纪到20世纪的爱尔兰历史中产生了重大的影响。这些影响在地方自治危机和北爱尔兰问题中尤其显著。虽然广泛的来说标志着这些分歧的是宗教的划定，但这些争论主要是政治与权力上的。例如，虽然大多数的爱尔兰天主教徒认为自己被排除在权力之外并具有独立于英国的身份，有部分反对英国统治、煽动叛乱的新教爱尔兰民族主义者则是爱尔兰民族主义的支持者（尽管大多数的爱尔兰新教徒反对分离主义）。在1798年的爱尔兰起义中，同不属于作为国教的爱尔兰教会的天主教徒和长老会于此之中找到了联合的理由。

爱尔兰天主教徒遍布世界许多国家，尤其是在英语圈中。由于1800年代中期的爱尔兰大饥荒，从爱尔兰向外的移民在当时呈指数级增长。在美国，1850年代的“一无所知”运动和其他19世纪反天主教、反爱尔兰的政治团体表达了对爱尔兰天主教徒的敌意并诉诸了暴力。不过，自20世纪以来，爱尔兰天主教徒在美国已经生根发芽，现在已是美国的主流社会的一部分。
