Michael J. F. McCarthy challenged the power and influence of the Roman Catholic Church in the beginning of the 20th century through his book Priests and People in Ireland. He made a remarkable journey from nationalism to unionism and converted to Protestantism. The author of this book, the late George Buchanan, never lived to see an outstanding study of meticulous research on McCarthy published, but this book, published by Inheritance Ministries, is a lasting tribute to both author and subject. |

Reprinted from:-"Orangeism In Ireland And Throughout The Empire" (Thynne & Co., Ltd 1938) An understanding of the events surrounding the 1798 Rebellion in Ireland is a key to an understanding of the divided loyalties in our society today. The support for the Rrebellion by many northern Presbyterians was quickly, in historical terms, turned to support for the Crown and Constitution. R.M. Sibbett writes with an understanding of the motives of the men on both sides and does not attempt to hide the terrible deeds committed by each. His respect for honourable men from different sides is something we should emulate today. 52 pages. |
