Catholicism started as a counter reform to Marcionism, including the Torah again in the Bible and rejecting some Gnostic concepts still prevalent in Paulism. This was at least a century (the dating is not precise) before Saint Patrick converted Ireland to Christianism, and specially, many centuries before the creation of Church of England. I don't see what part of my observation about 21 century Ireland made you think that I presupposed the Church of England was older. That part of history is even on TV (The Tudors).
