We must show caution during 1916 centenary

But, please, don’t mix the two. Let me spell it out.
Around the world, Christians (good, bad, or indifferent) have this in common: they freely give their allegiance to the God proclaimed by Jesus. But they do not, cannot in fact, claim the allegiance of anyone else. That would be forced allegiance, a form of human bondage.
This is in marked contrast to modern terrorists.
Islamic State or its ilk, demand allegiance in the name of God or his self-appointed representatives. And armed Irish republicanism has long since bought into this corrupted idealism, forever demanding the allegiance of every Irish man and woman — usually in the name of the patriot dead! Think of the implications of that.
