Catholic unionist : ウィキペディア英語版 | Catholic unionist
A Catholic unionist is a Roman Catholic in Ireland who supports continuing or maintaining the Union between Northern Ireland and Great Britain or who supports the Republic of Ireland rejoining the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland is a constituent country of the United Kingdom, consisting of the northeastern sixth of the island of Ireland. Among those who vote for unionist parties in Northern Ireland, Catholic unionists historically supported the more moderate Ulster Unionist Party, as opposed to the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), because of the anti-Catholic religious doctrine of the long-time DUP leader Ian Paisley and some of its current members. However, the DUP has recently attracted support from conservative Catholics who like the party's pro-life stance on abortion and opposition to same-sex marriage. Some Catholic unionists vote for the Social Democratic and Labour Party as they feel the unionist parties concentrate on Protestant, rather than unionist, issues, notwithstanding the SDLP's support for a United Ireland. Some also vote for the non-partisan Alliance Party of Northern Ireland. Historically, after the enactment of Catholic Emancipation in 1829, a great number of Catholics served in senior positions in the British Empire of the 19th century. Probably the most eminent was the lawyer, judge and politician Charles Russell. == Notable Catholic Unionists ==
