I feel the wording in your article could have been kinder given we are all
Irish and showing such great interest in Ireland. Just thought I would
mention it.

Ignorance is such a STRONG word. Many of us have to learn about things
as we go along with our genealogical searches. This is a wonderful
"hobby" which requires a good deal of "learning" as we try to find, and
understand, the lives of our ancestors.

A very un-Christian comment which leads me to the feeling that it
might just not have been from a Rev Canon.......?

To be fair to the Reverend Canon, he may have been commenting on his
perceived ignorance of those that *answered* the question rather than
those who *asked* it. He didn't make that clear though.

Everyone,
I asked the original question about the Church of England & Ireland.
I know what the C of E is, and I know what the C of I is; however, during
my short time time
with family history research I have not seen C of E & I.
Let's not start another little war here. I will continue to ask these types
of questions (the
only way to learn) and I appreciate the answers I received.
Thank you everyone that responded with the information that helped me
understand this
better.

Thaks!! I was wondering if I had "crossed the line" in some way - yet
noticed that others seemed to have had the same reaction. If nothing
else, this hobby continues to show me how much I don't know, and as I
(we) continue our research, we are bound to be more rounded individuals
by virtue of what we learn.

I am not trying to defend him. Whenever someone uses contentious
language there is the temptation to fire off a knee-jerk response. All I
was suggesting was that you examine the possibility that his 'ignorance'
comment was not directed at people asking questions, but rather at
people making replies.
In my book to ask a question from lack of knowledge is wisdom, while to
answer a question with lack of knowledge is worse than ignorance.

Er, you wouldn't be doing a bit of stereotyping yourself now would you?

Why don't we all agree to drop this subject line. It is just clutter to
most of us though I understand that some people still get hot about
things that happened hundreds of years ago. I get enough mail as it is
but in the past week there have been way to many messages on this
subject. This is an area that there will never be a majority let alone a
consensus agreement on. Please drop this or send your messages to the
individual not to the entire list.
Thanks, Bill

Not at all surprising when you take the time to look into the Popery Laws.
I know that this was not the doing of your group, but to the overwhelming
majority of the Irish population, you were part and parcel of the
perpetrating group.
Good luck in your endeavors.

"Lack of knowledge".
"Unaware, or uninformed".
" `Ignorant' can refer to a person's low level of knwledge in general or,
in a narrower sense, to his being uninformed or unaware of a specific thing."
Maybe it wasn't meant as an insult? Maybe we are to quick with our flames???
