Thank you for posting that song. As I recall, U2 wrote it as an anti-war (anti-Troubles in Northern Ireland) song, and yet the Catholics took it up as an anthem for themselves. Sort of like when Ronald Reagan tried to appropriate Bruce Springsteen's song, Born in the USA. It's a lot clearer when you read the lyrics what they intended.
