  I've been reading a book on the original Celtic Church in Britain, and have two more such books to read. officially they were alligned to Rome, but officially they were also alligned to the Orthodox Church, as in those days the scism between Rome and Costantinopoli was still not complete.
  Yet there were ways of Church liturgy and particulars of Faith that the Celtic British held dear but were not always in line with Rome's official edits and practises.
  Only in the 12th century did Ireland actually come in line with Rome's doctrines, after Henry II of England was invited by a local Irish leader to intervene against his rivals. Henry had the backing of the pope, who was English and had given him 20 years earlier a bolla allowing him to get involved in Ireland's Church affairs.
  This intervention triggered off centuries of confrontation in Ireland between Irish catholics and English catholics, and later between Irish catholics and English and Scottish Puritans/Calvinists and CE (Church of England). However, the root of it all (talking of the religious differences not ethnic) was Rome's intervention to change the local Irish Celtic practises of Christian Faith and allign them to those of the Vatican!
