TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In the seventeenth century, English Catholics, many of
them wealthy and well educated, looked to the American colonies as a place to regain a measure of religious
freedom. In Ireland, the so-called penal laws were even
harsher than in England, as a minority Parliament tried
to force the conversion of the popula on by denying the
majority poli cal and economic power. Beginning in
1691, laws were passed that punished dissenters, principally Catholics, but also causing hardship for Jews, Quakers, and others. There were acts forbidding “mixed marriage” or sending children “beyond the seas” for schooling. Catholics were taxed at double the common rate,
barred from the legal professions and from university,
and not allowed to build churches or own a decent
horse.
In 1793 the situa on began to change, as it became clear that the economic persecu on would not
drive the majority away from Catholicism. Gradually,
laws were repealed un l by 1829 freedom was won, although Catholics at university were ineligible for honors,
and un l the 1920s and the Republic, the Church of Ireland was the state church, funded by the taxes of all ci zens.
