Not being particularly fond of politics in general happened upon C-Span and recognized the voice of Ian Paisley whose messages are available here, and many would recognize with the words; [i]"The church of Jesus Christ is largely sleeping"
This is a particularly momentous occasion the joining of two foes, arch-rivals into one formalized government. To hear Ian Paisley speak of a understanding between Protestants and Catholics in such a way as this was a lesson I could but hope those who have misgivings here would take to heart. Theirs is a long bloody history. I really do not know all that much about all the particulars to be honest but the manner that this was put forth I found endearing.
Of course I may just be completely ignorant taking all this at face value. Perhaps some of our friends from that side of the world could give us their thoughts.
