Social Change in Irish Catholic Churches

Catholic Churches

Introduction

The population consent was conducted in 2001 in spite of the changes in the Irish society, showed that approximately 90 percent of the population are still persistent to combine themselves with the catholic churches. The consent showed that the country Ireland have individuals who were connected with the catholic churches. The people of the countries like Spain, France and Italy gazed themselves as being Catholic and they were separated from the churches because of the religious institutions and their religions too. Now days the catholic churches are not playing an active role in the social, political and the economic life of the society.

(Inglis, T,1897).

The countries like Italy, Spain and France consider themselves as the Catholic, but the outcome from the consensus is that in the Europe the Catholic Churches regards themselves as they belive on God only. However the strength of their believe can not be known as rather they believe on the God or they follow the teachings of Jesus Christ's and their teachnings would lead them for undying escape.
