It was the last bastion of Orthodox Christianity in the West until it was conquered along with Orthodox England by the Norman-Papal plot to eradicate it.

Dublin was actually founded by Vikings, so not sure what you're talking about. Furthermore it's a fuckin island so harder to conquer by British forces. Also, they couldn't probably care less about a bunch of always-drunk leprechauns.

>>768676
>This military intervention had the backing of King Henry II of England. Pope Adrian IV had authorized Henry to conquer Ireland as a means of bringing the Irish church into line. Diarmait and the Normans seized Leinster within weeks and launched raids into neighbouring kingdoms.

Why do you think the Pope was so glad to support these wars?

>>768689
Because he was paid hefty dosh.

>>768703
where is the evidence of them bribing the pope?

>>768718
In the same book as the evidence of Ireland being orthodox

>>768487
Will they ever going to speak irish again?

Pathetic

>Orthodox Christianity in Ireland (Irish: Ceartchreideamh in Éireann) is part of the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. Christianity is traditionally held to have become widespread in Ireland with the evangelisation of Saint Patrick in the latter half of the fifth century. It was notable for its monastic zeal and liturgical proximity to the Churches of the East, being especially influenced by the Egyptian Desert Fathers

Where in "The Egyptian Deserts in the Irish Bogs; The Byzantine Character of the Early Irish Church" did it talk of papal bribes?

>>768487
A lot of Irish people died

>>768729
Read the few sentences right after that you Russian cunt.

Also the pope was English, that's why he supported England invading Ireland. It really is that simple.

>>768744
They were still Eastern enough to "need to be brought into line"

>Also the pope was English, that's why he supported England invading Ireland. It really is that simple.

Nice try

>In 1155, three years after the Synod of Kells, Adrian IV published the Papal Bull Laudabiliter, which was addressed to the Angevin King Henry II of England. He urged Henry to invade Ireland to bring its church under the Roman system and to conduct a general reform of governance and society throughout the island. The authenticity of this grant, the historian Edmund Curtis says, is one of "the great questions of history." He states that the matter was discussed at a Royal Council at Winchester, but that Henry's mother, the Empress Matilda, had protested, and the expedition was put off to another time.[11]

This has nothing with him being English

>>768804
There was literally nothing Eastern about Ireland in the 12th century and the Pope in question yried to be BFF with the Byzantines and reunite the church so in other words fuck off back to sosach with your crackpot theories.

>>768837
look at their practice of Peregrinatio which is effectively British Hesychism as well as their orthodox iconography.

>Pope in question yried to be BFF with the Byzantines and reunite the church

What a joke, he only wanted them there to deal with the Normans in Sicily

As for your uniting the Church he took exactly the same stance as every other Pope ie demanding complete theological submission.

>Hopes for a lasting alliance with the Byzantine Empire had also come up against insuperable problems. Pope Adrian IV's conditions for a union between the eastern and western churches included recognition of his religious authority over Christians everywhere;

For someone who derrieds me as a crackpot you seem to take some strange liberties with your arguments
