Whilst the enemies of God are laughing at the Irish people and the Catholics of Ireland you saw a fightback at the recent rally for life in Dublin. Many church going and law abiding ethnic minorities turned out to support the march. In the United States they would be the 'blacks for trump'. The patriotic church going folk. A British example would be the non British, who voted to leave the EU.
Indians were also well represented.
The Secret People by G.K. Chesterton came to mind. People, who had never attended a pro-life march attended. Working class inner city Dublin was well represented. People, who probably don't vote turned up. Dublin is gone to the dogs but that is another discussion in itself.
Bishop Williamson has taken flak for not been perceived as a fighter. If Catholic people haven't a holy anger or fight in them you can't blame the Bishop. Whilst God is in control these large events won't save Ireland. The small pockets of resistance,the loose network is only way in Ireland. Small groups of Catholics here and there.
There is an increase in homeschooling which is a good thing.
In Britain the powers that be are now bringing down UKIP. Nigel Farage and UKIP got Brexit. UKIP were never ideal but now are in big trouble. Britain is in a bad way but the case of Charlie Gard has got great discussions going.
