75-78 Introduction Meantime, the emperor had summoned Luther to appear at Worms*, before the imperial diet; and the two parties were now about to meet face to face. Another man of letters, Helius Eobanus Hessus, also urged Hutten to take up arms for Luther.
Protestantism in Ireland. Protestantism is a minority Christian denominational family on the island of Ireland. In the 2011 census of Northern Ireland, 48% (883,768) described themselves as Protestant, which was a decline of approximately 5% from the 2001 census. In the 2011 census of the Republic of Ireland, 2.92% of the population described themselves as Protestant.
Could someone explain to me in a few brief statements how Northern Ireland became Protestant or how Southern Ireland became Irish Catholic. I'm not sure which came first. The English bastards wanted the Scots' land for sheep to feed their wool mills. They wanted cheap labor in the north of Ireland. They moved the Scots. Ireland has been Catholic since St. Pat. Shortly after England took Ireland as a colonial possession, it sent Protestant Scots to settle the adjacent north of Ireland. Their descendants, and those of some English who also went, remain.
