    Catholics of the British Army

    Religious discrimination is a problem as old as religion itself. For those living in Britain in the early 19th Century a long shadow of religious turmoil lay thick over society. Memories of papist plots, civil wars and the religious roller coaster of succesive Tudor monarchies may have been more than a century in the past but they had dominated the conversaion leading to stigmatisation and the exculsion of Catholicism on a government sanctioned scale. But what, if anything did this mean for the British Army? Catriona Kennedy returns to the podcast the soulsearching, the challenges and the barriers facing Irish Catholics in the British Army.
