David Patrick Moran (22 March 1869 – 31 January 1936), better known as simply D. P. Moran, was an Irish journalist, activist and cultural-political theorist, known as the principal advocate of a specifically Gaelic Catholic Irish nationalism during the early 20th century. Associated with the wider Celtic Revival, he promoted his ideas primarily through his journal, ''The Leader'', and compilations of his articles such as the book ''The Philosophy of Irish Ireland''. He was born in County Waterford and educated at Castleknock College, near Dublin before working as a journalist in London, where he was a member of the Irish Literary Society. His brand of nationalism and concept of Irish Ireland was of a homogeneous Gaelic Catholic nation, promoting the hegemony of the Irish language and Gaelic games in Irish cultural life. He often employed disparaging terms ("West Brits", "shoneens", "sourfaces") in reference to Unionists and/or non-Catholics. ==Irish-Ireland== (詳細は1893 Home Rule Bill and the division of the Irish Parliamentary Party in 1891, nationalists took heart from Douglas Hyde's 1892 speech, entitled "The Necessity for De-anglicising Ireland". Moran built upon this thesis and provided a wider ideology for enthusiasts, particularly after the re-unification of most of the nationalist parties from 1900. In his 1905 text ''The Philosophy of Irish-Ireland'', Moran argued that to be Irish required: * the use of the Irish language〔(Maguire F., UCC online essay; ref language )〕 * membership in the Roman Catholic Church * an anti-materialist (but not socialist) outlook on life * the playing of only Gaelic games〔(Maguire F., UCC online essay; ref games )〕 Though a sponsor of the use of Irish, he never became fluent in the language himself.〔(A 2003 analysis with comprehensive footnotes by Paul Delaney )〕 He emphasised the use of English in 1908–1909 as "an active, vigilant, and merciless propaganda in the English language." In the longer term, when Irish became again the language of the people, its use would enable a de facto censorship of any foreign and unwelcome ideas written in English.〔Delaney P., essay, p. 5〕 While Moran argued that the idea of 'the Gael' was one that could assimilate others, he also felt that it would be hard if not impossible for members of the Church of Ireland who supported the British Empire to ever qualify as Irish, being 'resident aliens'.〔(Delaney essay page 1. )〕 This extended to Anglo-Irish literature. He rejected the Abbey Theatre and questioned Yeats' genius. He once spoke out against the influence Britain had over Irish Universities, stating: ''"We are all Palemen Now"''. In the matter of religious differences, Daniel O'Connell had said in 1826 that 'the () Catholics of Ireland are a nation'. Moran moved beyond that, affirming in 1901 that '...the Irish Nation is de facto a Catholic nation'.〔''The Leader'', 27 July 1901.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「D. P.
