An insight into Michael Collins... What set Collins apart was his secularism. He had never been taught by brothers or nuns; he was never an altar boy; he did not belong to any sodalities or confraternities, and seems not to have read religious literature - as ubiquitous in turn -of-the-century households as Duffy’s Library. In this he was different from perhaps the majority of his fellow future revolutionaries, who were deeply immersed in a new wave of highly organized piety evident in Dublin and throughout Ireland in the early 1900s, much of it devoted to the Virgin Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A large number of participants in the 1916 Easter Rising had been taught by the Christian Brothers or some other order, and belonged to religious societies, particularly the highly influential Sacred Heart Sodality. Many were total abstainers from alcohol. Collins seems to have been completely uninterested in this kind of spirituality or lifestyle, and almost never used the vocabulary of blood, souls, resurrection, sin and redemption that preoccupied so many other republicans. His letters are also generally free of the standard evocations of God and his will. Towards the end of the Easter Rising, when many rebels were resorting to their rosaries, Collins ran into Joe Good in a house on Moore Street: “I was resting on the stairs at one period with my head in my hands and Mick said angrily to me: “Are you fucking praying too?”.
