As an American with Irish ancestry throughout my family, thank you for this video. I'm sad to say that my own ancestors in my paternal line left the Church before the 1700s, perhaps enthralled by Cromwell or to avoid execution. It took 200 years to correct that gross abandonment at least. The man after whom I'm named, my great grandfather, is the first Catholic in my direct paternal line I could find post Reformation with the limited resources I have. I keep Ireland in my prayers each day.

Thank you my friend. God bless you and yours.
