Abstract

Young Catholics growing up on the island of Ireland are part of one world-wide Roman Catholic Church, sharing in the one heritage and tradition. At the same time young Catholics in Ireland are growing up in two different social, political, and religious cultures. In the Republic of Ireland, the Catholic Church had enjoyed decades of political influence, but is now situated in an increasingly secularised culture. In Northern Ireland, the Catholic Church has coexisted within a religiously segregated society alongside the significant presence of Protestant and Reformed Churches. Drawing on data generated from a survey conducted during 2011 among sixth-form students in Northern Ireland and senior cycle students in the Republic of Ireland, the present study employed the notion of intersectionality (embracing gender and socio-political context) to interrogate differences in the religious beliefs and practices and in the moral values of self-identified Catholic students: 3,015 in the Republic of Ireland and 1,624 in Northern Ireland. The data draw attention to the effects of both gender and cultural context in shaping two somewhat different expressions of Catholic identity within the two jurisdictions on the relatively small island of Ireland.
