      As a child from Irish RC family, Rome has been responsible for some terrible atrociites, but yes Britain was a tyrant to Ireland
      As far as protistant nations go - USA, UK, Germany, Canada .... they have produced more innovations, an Industrial Revolution [UK], more wealth, medications, longer life.... than RC countries...eg, Italy, Spain, South American nations which tend to be more corrupt

    There are great ones missing here, such as Thomas and Howard Grubb who between them created many of the telescopes found in observatories around the world. Thomas Grubb helped the Earl of Rosse, William Parsons, build the world's largest telescope of the 19th Century at Birr. His son Howard invented the collimating rifle site and a periscope. Sir Charles Parsons, son of William, invented the steam turbine which revolutionised transport and energy generation. John Philip Holland from Clare created the world's first practical submarine and his designs were adopted by the US and Royal Navies. Then there is John Joly who created an early form of colour photography and also the use of radium to cure cancer. I will also mention George Johnstone Stoney who identified and named the 'electron'. Finally, there is William Rowan Hamilton whose Quaternion Equation is the basis for a lot of the science for defining spaces and is even used in creating video displays today. There are many more, but the shame is that most of these people are not known in their native land. Painters, poets and writers are much better known in Ireland, which may tell us something about the Irish character. In many cases the people I have mentioned are much better known outside of Ireland. As far as I can see Government authorities and institutions do very little to reverse the ignorance about our great inventors and scientists.

    Let's make a bit of correction. Word missile in modern usage means air flying self propelled weapon. Brennan invented nothing like that, he made pretty decent (for his time) steerable torpedo. One can call it missile only in historical meaning of this word, and such usage is misleading nowadays.
