Yeah. You're probably right.
I have suspicions that a lot of Irish Americans in the South convert to Protestant denominations in a bid to assimilate with the bigots.
Irish faced lot of discrimination when they arrived in waves over here.
Ugly stereotyping, physical violence, "catholics" not being considered real christians by mainstream,etc,etc
just about every large wave of immigrants went through similar experiences ..and then turned around and had a hand in doing it to the next group
Irish Catholics passing or people passing as anything other than what they are......george stone aka guisseppe petri or fair skinned Blacks passing as white....part of the just part of the American story......some hide who they are...but most just fight against the bigotry and press forward
