DESCRIPTION:The paper examines the most explosive sectarian ep
 isode\nin NZ history - the only occasion when a Ca
 tholic bishop\nwas criminally prosecuted for his p
 olitical opinions. James Liston's St Patrick's nig
 ht speech contained sentiments on the Irish questi
 on which enfuriated the majority of his colonial a
 udience. His sneering references to the British Em
 pire and caustic phrase 'murdered by foreign troop
 s' when describing those Irish victims of the Trou
 bles led to a storm of protest and posed a huge pr
 oblem for the government of Prime Minister Bill Ma
 ssey\, an Ulster-born ex-Orange Grand Master.\n\n\
 nRory Sweetman is an Irish-born New Zealander\, wi
 th history degrees from Trinity College Dublin and
  Cambridge. He has published extensively on aspect
 s of New Zealand's ethnic and religious history an
 d is currently researching a history of the Orange
  Order in the antipodes.\n
