Samenvatting

Addresses the War of Independence from a new perspective by focusing on the attitude of the Catholic clergy

The guerilla war waged between the IRA and the crown forces between 1919 and 1921 was a pivotal episode in the modern history of Ireland. This book addresses the War of Independence from a new perspective by focusing on the attitude of a group of non-combatants with unrivalled influence in Irish society: the Catholic clergy.

Strong links had been forged between Irish nationalism and Catholicism during the nineteenth century, but the clergy had always resisted the use of ‘physical force’ by separatist nationalists. The relationship was put to the test when home rule politics yielded to a new and pugnacious republicanism after the 1916 Easter rising. When the IRA and the crown forces became involved in a guerilla war from 1919 onwards, priests had to define their position anew.

Using a wealth of source material drawn from Irish, British and overseas archives, including the Bureau of Military History’s witness statements and a wide range of church archives, this book assesses the clergy’s response to political violence. Its focus is on the parish level, revealing divisions between priests and showing how local clerical attitudes influenced involvement in the war. Paying close attention to the importance of publicity, it demonstrates that bishops and priests proved themselves skilled public relations managers. The book describes how the image of shared victimhood at the hands of the British helped to contain tensions between the clergy and the republican movement, and shows how the links between Catholicism and Irish nationalism were sustained.
