[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 131711, member: 353"] Good grief. [IMG alt="Frustrated Here We Go GIF by Sesame Street"]https://media3.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTUzMTEyMDdkdDhjeDFnYWJjaHB6dmlxZTA2cDIxZ3EyOXMzaTkyZnhmaHRzYTBwbSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/e5uyWolyR0y30Wo1ya/200.gif[/IMG] Ah, the tired old [B]canard[/B] that Pearse was some closet Enlightenment liberal because the Proclamation didn't read like a papal bull. Let’s be clear: Pearse didn’t need to name the Catholic Church—[B]he [I]embodied[/I] it[/B]. His vision of Ireland was the fusion of Faith and Nation, not some Masonic fantasy of ‘neutral liberty.’ 'Civil and religious liberty' was a strategic line—an olive branch to Ulster Protestants—[B]not a theological treatise[/B]. To claim he was ‘as one’ with the Ulster Covenant is [B]historical illiteracy.[/B] That document was [B][I]anti-Irish[/I] and [I]anti-Catholic[/I] [/B]to its marrow. Pearse, on the other hand, drew from the blood of martyrs—[B]Catholic martyrs[/B]—whose sacrifice he believed sanctified Ireland. His writings are drenched in Catholic language, his worldview unmistakably shaped by the Faith. This is not the language of a secular republican. Pearse saw Ireland as mystically wedded to Christ, the same Christ he invoked moments before his execution. If he mentioned Tone or Emmet, it was to baptise their rebellion in Catholic sacrifice, not to elevate secularism. The idea that he was defying ‘Ne Temere’ is theological fantasy. Pearse was no Vatican bureaucrat—he was a mystic nationalist whose spiritual center was Calvary, not the Enlightenment salons. Cut the revisionist rot: Pearse wasn’t hedging between Rome and rationalism—he was resurrecting Ireland through Christ, sword, and sacrament. Your reading is not clever. It’s just historically tone-deaf. [/QUOTE]
