Basically, it all started in the early 1500ss when King Henry VII off England decided he needed to divorce his infertile wife and get a divorce. Only problem was, Catholicism dictated that divorce was not an option. Apparently, Henry was quite familiar with the expression "if you don't like the rules, change them!" So, he decided that a new religion was what he needed and voila!: The Anglican Church was born. Hey, it's great to be the King! Henry converted himself, along with all of his subjects, to this new British brand of Protestantism - - - yet Ireland remained a bastion of Catholicism.
