Message: <blockquote data-quote="scolairebocht" data-source="post: 124000" data-attributes="member: 8">By the way in case people are wondering, the Pro Cathedral is Dublins only Catholic Cathedral. Its 'Pro' as in Provisional, i.e. a temporary thing awaiting a proper Cathedral. There were plans to build one in Merrion Square but Archbishop McQuaid spent the money on hospitals and schools instead, and there was also a hope of using one of the two great ancient Cathedrals of Dublin, but that also fell through.So after all the hypology about the supposed Catholic theocracy of Ireland in the 1950s etc etc, they didn't even have a proper Catholic Cathedral in the capital city. National events, like the celebrations over the adopting of the constitution in 1937, were held in the Protestant St Patrick's Cathdral, of course also because the first President was Protestant.</blockquote>
