WE ALSO KNOW HE WAS THE SWORN ENEMY OF THE IRISH PEOPLE AND ALL THINGS IRISH Ian Paisley was a Northern Ireland politician and leader of the Democratic Unionist Party died he was the Moderator (leader) of the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, a member of British Parliament and of the Northern Ireland Assembly for the constituency of North Antrim. Paisley is well known for his vicious anti-Catholicism. He vilified the Catholics as being born out of ancient paganism, and depicts demons as infesting every aspect of Catholic life, as though Catholics secretly worship Satan. He frequently refers to the Church as the “Whore of Babylon”, “Antichrist”, insinuates the Church created Nazism as a means to exterminate Jews, and portrays Catholics as foul-mouthed, angry, abusive and prone to drunkenness. Paisley refered to Roman Catholicism as “popery” and founded the European Institute of Protestant Studies to promote his own particular brand of anti-Catholicism. In 1988, he attacked Pope John Paul II at the European Parliament shouting “I Denounce you as the Antichrist!” at the Pontiff while holding up a sign accusing him of being the Antichrist, causing him to have to be taken out of the hemicycle by several other MEPs. In 1963, Paisley organized a protest against the lowering of flags following the death of Pope John XXIII. He also stated that seat no. 666 in the European Parliament is reserved for the Antichrist and praised Slobodan Milosevic for fighting a “Vatican conspiracy” to destroy the Serbian Orthodox Church. Throughout the 60’s70’sand 80’he organised mobilised Violent Protestant Unionists protest against irish nationalists. This page wish to genuinely celebrate tolerance, then this must be extended not only to all Christian churches, and also non-Christian faiths too. Burning papal effigies and catholic religious icons and Irish Flags sadly are still associated with the violent bigotry of Paisleyism and Unionism to the present day. Such is Ian Paisley’s legacy
