I believe I may have found an error in Wikipedia's entry on Laudabiliter, which reads:

the bull granted Henry, who requested it, the right to invade Ireland in order to reform Church practices in Ireland, which up until that point, while being Christian, had been outside the bounds of the Catholic Church.

My understanding is that the Christian Church in Ireland was in communion with the St. Peter's See, although the majority (if not all) of the religious foundations continued to adhere to the older Celtic rites (fervent asceticism on the one hand and hereditary abbotcies on the other), prior to the Norman invasion of 1171. The wiki article would seem, at the least, to imply that the Irish Church was some strange, non-Catholic Christian rite, which is to the best of my knowledge, incorrect.

Yes/no?




Fuck html. Fuck it a lot.
