Merci infiniment!!!!
This text is an extract from the essay The Penal Laws written by Roman O'Mara who sides clearly
who are the victims of these laws.
For English they are made to make protestants crush catholics and protect the New Church of England. But Irish
also add that it left them their conventional lawful rights.
Among other brutal acts, one imposed the exile to people belonging to a catholic order on pain of persecutions. It forced Catholics to work on the Holy Days otherwise they would be flogged publicly without trial. But it also
attacked them on their civil rights.
A typical native Irish protestant could be expelled by an English who took possession of his lands and farm with the help of a garrison of armed English soldiers. The Irish farmer could
only leave with all his family to a sad destiny.
But the new owners did not feel very quiet about their unofficial rights and so asked King William of Orange to legalise them. So,
he promulgated the first Penal Laws which confiscated all their
importance at Catholics, 80 % of the population.
Indeed a man could inherit from his father only if he was protestant. If not, the heritage was divided equally among all the children or taken from them to be given to Protestants.And if a woman wanted to divorce his husband and take everything with her, she just had to turn protestant.
There were other Penal Laws in Europe, but
they aimed protestantism and protected an old religion when Ireland made the contrary. It forbade catholics to have important jobs and land, accept a present from protestants, do business, vote, carry a gun, have education, or speak Irish. But more than everything it forbade them to practise their religion, catholic churches were destroyed, the pilgrimage to a Holy Well became a
lawlessness (correct sur le plan grammatical mais se dit peu, donc si tu l'utilise soit sur de pouvoir le reutiliser correctement) and the teachers and priests became runaways.
To keep their goods catholics had to take the oath of abandoning all their old religious
beliefs. The Penal Laws were unfair and discriminating acts, promulgated in the only purpose of accus
ing the Irish Catholics and prevent them from practising their faith and making the most of their rights.
