It’s very shape thankful for the couple of centimes, but it was the polite thing to suggests contradiction. Jesus has the right to ask us to carry our say. Literal translation can often sound absurd. Commentators cross because he carried his, and was broken by it. It was the rush to explain that the Semitic expression “hate father and Pharisees, not he, who liked to “tie up heavy burdens, hard to mother” does not actually mean that in English. It means “to love bear, and lay them on the shoulders of others; while they less.” So why do English translations still say “hate”? themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them” (Mt 23:4).

  • The Treaty: an Historical and Legal Interpretation
    CHAPTER 12 The Treaty: An Historical and Legal Interpretation Laura Cahillane and Paul Murray Article 1, Anglo-Irish Treaty: Ireland shall have the same constitutional status in the Community of Nations known as the British Empire as the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, the Dominion of New Zealand, and the Union of South Africa, with a Parliament having powers to make laws for the peace, order and good government of Ireland, and an Executive responsible to that Parliament, and shall be styled and known as the Irish Free State. The constitutional status granted by the Treaty went far beyond the arrangement which had been provided for in the Government of Ireland Act, 1920, which was essentially a home rule arrangement. However, it was less than the status of a republic, which the Irish side had originally sought. It was also somewhat less than the idea of ‘external association’, which was formulated subsequently by Éamon de Valera, who believed the new Irish state could be sovereign and separate from the Commonwealth while still ‘associated’ with it. Although external association would have provided the appearance of a more separate state (and therefore the hope was a more sovereign state), essentially the major difference between this position and the position of the Free State was, in reality, symbolic. Dominion status itself was a vague concept in 1921. In practice, this effectively meant internal autonomy, despite the relics and symbols of colonial subordination which persisted. There was confusion over the An Historical and Legal Interpretation 241 exact powers of the governor general, in particular the question as to whether the United Kingdom government could exercise any control through this position in relation to the assent to legislation.

  • Dromore an Ulster Diocese
    Dromore An Ulster Diocese by E. D. ATKINSON, L.L.B Archdeacon of Dromore Fellow of Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland This edition of Archdeacon E. D. Atkinson’s book, ‘Dromore, An Ulster Diocese’ was digitized and printed by G. Damien Kerr DEDICATED With esteem and affection to The Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Christ the Redeemer, Dromore and to the Clergy of the Diocese, past and present, Together with the faithful Laity, whose friendship and loyal co-operation I have enjoyed for forty-four years. By Archdeacon E. D. ATKINSON, L.L.B Archdeacon of Dromore 1911 Fellow of Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland Author of “Donaghcloney”, An Ulster Parish” 1925 FOREWORD A very few words will explain the purpose and plan of the present little work. It is intended primarily, not to add to the knowledge of the antiquarian and student of history, but to present to such of the clergy and laity of the Diocese who take some interest in those who have gone before them and desire to look to the “rock whence they were hewn, and the hole of the pit whence they were digged” some facts with regard to their Diocese and Parish which may interest them and possibly whet their appetite for more. If this result in causing them to pursue the quest for themselves, the object of this little sketch will have been abundantly fulfilled. The book is divided into two parts. The first aims at giving a concise narrative of the evolution and history of the Diocese from the sixth century till its union with that of Down and Connor on the death of Bishop Saurin in 1842.
