History question - Did we call the Irish Republican Army "Roman Catholic Terrorists"?

[sabrina 1]

114. The IRA were Excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. So to claim they

were a religious group is so far from the truth it's probably laughable to the Irish.

The use of the word 'catholic' should always be qualified with 'Native Irish' as opposed to 'Loyalists' who were planted in Ireland by the British to cement their control over the lands which belonged to the Native Irish, but were stolen by the British.

Iow for the correct historical context:

Native Irish = catholic, which has little to do with religion and more to do with the victims of Imperial occupation.

Loyalists = protestants, which also has little to do with religion and more to do with Imperial occupation.

Mandela was also a 'terrorist' airc, for doing what the IRA has been doing for centuries.

Gandhi too was a 'terrorist' airc.

The Founding Fathers were also called 'terrorists' for their resistance to the British Empire.

All of the resistance fighters whose land was invaded and occupied by the same Colonial, Imperial Empire have been labeled 'terrorists' by that same Empire.

It means nothing other than the fact that when some of those 'terrorists' finally stood up and fought the Empire and WON, see this country and the Republic of Ireland and South Africa, those TERRORISTS were transformed into HEROES.

Same will happen with Jerry Adams and McGuinness, as has already happened with Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Ann Devlin, Michael Collins, Patrick Pearse, Nelson Mandela, and our own Founding Fathers.

History has a way of sorting these things out thankfully.
