This guy described himself once as "Irish catholic." obviously, this means he's Irish, but does it mean he's also of the catholic religion? Sorry, this is probably a stupid question.

Sweety Pie agony auntI guess thats what he means. But dont worry, my family is from Northern Ireland and they are protestant, but loads of my friends are Catholic. I dont think religion is that important anymore, except in very strict families! x

To Correct Emily....being a Catholic doesn't mean you don't date Protestants? Regardless of being affectd by the troubles or not!!

I am an Irish 'Catholic'- and my boyfriend would probably describe himself as a 'British Protestant'- Despite living literally a few miles apart. That's Northern Ireland for you!!...

neither of us practice religion!!

Just to correct Emilysanswers - Catholics don't necessarily just date Catholics!

I am a practising Catholic and am seeing a guy who is very pro Britain and very protestant - Love has no limits!!

If someone describes themselves as a catholic, it probably means they are a catholic.

The fact they mention religion at all means they are either religious, or have been affected by the troubles and therefore would never consider a protestant girl.

If he's in America though it could mean anything as you lot are obsessed with heritage and describe themselves as Polish or Irish even though they've never even been there.

Why not just ask him?

Good Luck!! xx

Yes this means he is of Irish origin and was born a Catholic. It does not necessarily mean he is still a practising Catholic though (ie going to Church on Sundays and sticking to the commandments). - You would have to ask him to know for sure.
