Those who March and parade in their Orange sashes in praise of their hero King Billy, to celebrate the great protestant victory at the battle of the Boyne , know this :

William of Orange was not fighting for the protestant cause. He was an ally of pope Innocent XI and his successor pope Alexander XIII in their struggle against Louis XIV of France under the treaty of Augsburg.

In fact half of his army & military equipment was financed by the Catholic church.

The Boyne victory was celebrated as a great Catholic victory and a Te Deum was sung in st Peters in Rome , and in the Catholic cathedrals in Vienna, Madrid and Brussels.

The whole of Catholic Europe except France, rejoiced in the William of Orange victory. As for those Irish protestants who fought on Williams side , how did he reward them?

He forbade them from practicing the Presbyterian religion and ordered them to pay tithes to the Anglican church of Ireland, the Irish version of the church of England. This caused such despair among the Presbyterians that they left Ireland in droves and migrated to the USA. Appalachia, Carolina.

Thereafter the Presbyterians dropped their bigotry towards Irish Catholicism and when the first Catholic church was built in Belfast it was protestants who supplied most of the money to build it: about half the congregation at first mass were protestants. In the United irishmen’s rebellion of 1798 Catholics and protestants fought side by side for Irish independence. This terrified the British ruling class, and William Pitt the younger gave the order to split up the protestants and Catholics no matter the cost.

The governor, brigadier general Knox replied : “simple, i will use the Orange order to create division” thereafter the Orange order was used as a tool of the British ruling class to divide and weaken the working class. That is the true ‘heritage’ of the Orange order and probably few of those who March, bang the drums and play the flutes are aware of it.

To this day the OO still creates division on behalf of the British establishment
