The Tilson Case - Jameson David - Bog

David Jameson's The Tilson Case: Church and State in 1950s' Ireland tells the story of one the most extraordinary causes célèbre of twentieth-century Ireland, which followed the marriage of Ernest Tilson, a Protestant, to Mary Barnes, a Catholic, in Dublin in 1941. Since this was a mixed marriage and the couple wished to be married in a Catholic church, both were obliged to sign a pledge agreeing to raise any children of the marriage as Catholics.
