I’m generally anti religious, but this bishop is very articulate and incredibly dignified.

Lmao I was a student in the public system and you cant ignore what is happening right now in high schools( I’m not victim but people talk between them selves), of course it does not excuse what happened in this case but I hope it gets resolved.

No one ever said growing up is an easy process. Irish people have learned the hard way, people are not always what they pretend to be. A lot of hearts have being broken, lives destroyed, people unable to trust again. People will never again have blind faith in anything, sadly this journey is not complete, there is still many hidden secrets that need to see the light of day. It’s only when all these dark secrets a fully faced up to, can the nation move on……..stronger and wiser and yes with a heart that carries many scars.

Trust a Derry man to bring up the crimes of the Brits in ANY conversation. These Derry wans are a broken record!

No, Ireland is not over Catholicism. The media is still obsessed with it. We have many journalists who never do anything but complain about the Church.

Saint Patrick pray for the reconvertion of Ireland 🙏

Maybe Ireland will reunite now since religion was pretty much the main reason why they stayed divided.

It’s the woman’s body, her right to choose. But what right has she got over the baby’s right to choose over the innocent baby’s body?.. Why can’t this be respected

Ireland, do you really want a culture based on Starbucks and shopping malls? A planned Parenthood in every city? Do you believe that will fulfill you? Pray that the Church will bring justice to those who’ve done evil and return as that shining jewel of Europe.

“People know what happened in Magdalene laundries”, the female speaker says. They don’t. The government’s official McAleese report found that the lurid history contained in a film like the Magdalaen Sisters was not reality. They were not pleasant places, but they were often places for women who had nowhere else to go, and the nuns who ran them did their best in difficult circumstances.

In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit … Peter the Roman, (Pope Francis) who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people. The End.

Turns out about 130k Catholics turned up to see Frankie, average age was over 50. That must have been a rather somber trip back to Rome for Frankie! Whats the bets he was crying into his chalice all the way home? With those numbers and given their record in Ireland they should be classified as a cult. The apologists even tried to claim the rain, and nobody allowed to attend on a mobility scooter was the cause of the dismal attendence! Like they actually claimed they rely on the mobility scooter generation! The rain didn’t put off the thousands protesting though did it? the turnout was about 2.7% of the population, in a country where the Phoenix Park is no more than 50 miles from most of the population. Thats a decrease in 35 years of roughly 95% in terms of attendance. I think we can now safely conclude the catholic reign of terror is over! Then they insisted that the media were obsessed with the number that turned out. Well fucking hell yeah they are obsessed, its a relevant piece of information given this bunch of deluded money grabbers currently run the Irish education system…. they used to claim that this was because the entire country was catholic….well whats their excuse now? As it turns out there are now more fucking Jedi’s in Ireland than catholics attended this mass. I’d be pretty sure the children of Ireland would much rather be educated by the Jedi than the Jesuits! That way they would get a light sabre rather than a priests sausage! So that’s goodbye to the catholic church in Ireland. Goodbye nonsense vending, human trafficking, immoral, mob of pedo’s and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out!

A lot of young people are done with it like myself and it’s for the better. The church is a corrupt joke

Imagine your life was sparred due to the sound teaching of the Catholic Church, and you use that life to discredit and defame the Catholic Church

How could anyone that claims to love Jesus Christ have anything to do with the Catholic Church?

Áve María, grátia pléna, Dóminus técum. Benedícta tū in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus. Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus, nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Ámen.

BBC stop your negative 👎🏻 Irish coverage and saying things like “over Catholic” like it’s something bad. Look how evil the British empire were to Catholic people in Ireland 🇮🇪 let’s not forget the horrible treatment Britain did it Ireland years ago and stop using catholics as scapegoats.

The very people who condemn the Catholic church for child abuse at the same time vote for abortion as they did in the Irish referendum which is the worst child abuse possible.They also voted for gay marriage which means that a poor child has to be brought up by two mem having sex together!
