Irish Church

The Irish Church refers to the Christian churches in Ireland, predominantly Roman Catholic, but also including Protestant denominations such as the Church of Ireland and various other groups. Its history is marked by significant influence on Irish culture, identity, and politics. The Catholic Church has traditionally been the largest and most influential, playing a key role in education and social services. However, in recent years, it has faced challenges, including scandals and declining membership, leading to ongoing debates about its role in modern Irish society. The church remains a central aspect of Ireland's cultural and historical landscape.
