Fun fact: I would have been baptized Catholic if the priest in my hometown wasn't so unpleasant and my mother didn't dislike him, but I probably would've converted to Protestantism at some point anyway for my own reasons.
But OMG dude how could you? After all culture and tradition! oakvale would hate you so much.
Are you seriously saying most people in Ireland DO NOT hold animosity toward people who convert from Catholicism to Protestantism? That greatly contradicts many things you and oakvale have said.
What the christ. No-one cares if you convert to a religion. It would be seen as kind of weird since conversion is not something that's done here to anywhere near the extent of the US.
Also, conversion to Protestantism in general is absurd and should be looked on with suspicion in any culture.
