The name Catholic Reaction Force (CRF) was used by a unit in Northern Ireland to claim responsibility for attacks and threats against Protestants during "The Troubles". In 1983 it claimed responsibility for shooting dead three Protestant civilians at a church service near Darkley, County Armagh. That was claimed as retaliation for attacks on Catholic civilians. An Irish National Liberation Army (INLA) member was involved, but the INLA said it had not ordered the attack.
