520 |a The aim of this article is to give a historical overview of Catholic culture in the Republic of Ireland in the twentieth century and to examine how it has changed. Ireland has in a short period changed from a largely rural agricultural economy to a modern urbanised one. Religious practice has declined steadily in that time and Catholicism no longer exercises the same influence on people's lives, or on the political/legislative process. The climate of the 1960s and the events that unfolded from that time made traditional Catholicism unsustainable. However in the 2011 census, eighty-four percent of Irish people still call themselves Catholic and recent surveys estimate the weekly Mass attendance rate at about forty-three percent. This and other contra-indications suggest that one should be cautious about adopting secularisation theories too readily in the Irish case. It would appear that many Irish still identify with their Catholic cultural heritage.
