Apparently "RIP" is Catholic, and therefore superstitious and purgatory-friendly.

Now I want to use nothing BUT "Rest in Peace." Except, of course, in Latin, as "Resquiat in Pace," to crank the Popery up to eleven.

That's just silly. (The Orange Order, not you.)

And now the political party which is in many ways associated with them holds the crucial balance of power in the government of the United Kingdom...

Meh. It's the Westminster model—that's how it works. It'll work that way when situation is reversed at some point in future.

I love that Home on the Range has somehow jumped from tumbleweed and cow-punching to northern Irish bigots.

Wikipedia points to Mortuary Monuments and Burial Grounds of the Historic Period, which says:

"Through both iconography and key phrases on memorials, it is often possible to identify Roman Catholic memorials. Given the belief that prayer for the souls of the dead can reduce their time spent in purgatory, there are often phrases asking for such help on the memorials. Many begin with the phrase 'Pray for the soul of', or end with the Latin 'requiescat in pace', 'rest in peace', though the shortened version R.I.P. can be used by other denominations. There may also be invocations to Mary, Mother of God, specific saints or saints in general, asking for prayers for the deceased. One also has to be aware that some high church Anglicans may use these phrases, though in almost all cases prayer for the soul is a Roman Catholic feature." (p. 139)

"The Protestant tradition can be seen in the avoidance of phrases used in Catholic memorials, since there is perceived to be no requirement for prayer for souls as redemption is based on faith (and in some sects, also actions in life or membership of an elect group)." (p. 141)
