Brain Cowan was the last trick of the evil Bertie. It was his last two fingers to this state. It was Bertie saying: You want shot of me? You want me to resign? OK. With the last bit of influence I have I’ll make Cowan king. I’ll put the thickest runt of the lot in charge because no one crosses Bertie.

As for Biffo.Name one thing of any significance he ever did? A bozo who rose without trace when he inherited his fathers seat. A total bullock,all beef and bellow but no balls anywhere.

They are worse than the Stasi – at least they got your neighbours to spy on you. The priests want you to rat on yourself, what a laugh!

Jaysus Lads, do you not realize that the all the TDS, Guards and Judges have been going into confessions since they were 1 month old and confessing their filthy secrets- the priests wrote it all down and have it all locked away in their safes. My old man always called the church the “biggest spy gang” in the world.

Larry’s right, it’s attitudes like the above that gave the Church so much power and power corrupts. It will take another generation or two to wash it out of the system.

Maybe then we can like in a Utopia such as that which exists north of the border, where religion doesn’t play any part in people’s lives!

Don’t be sidetracked.
Having the “old enemy” has been one of their tricks down the years. The British, and by extension, “protestants” have been the Emmanuel Goldstein of the Irish Catholic Church.
If there’s some external force to blame for all our ills, then there won’t be any scrutiny on the domestic front.

Some unbelievable comments from Mass goers in Limerick about the bishop and whether he should resign or not. (He should be juist fired and jailed).

However, another parishioner, Pat Downs, described the bishop’s homily as “quite informative. I’m glad he made a statement here.” Asked if he thought Dr Murray should resign, he said “absolutely not”. His wife, Nuala Downs, said: “We’re not here to judge this life. God is here to judge us.”

….Another parishioner, John Cotte, said: “I don’t see any reason why he should resign. Some people wouldn’t stop until they got the pope himself to resign.” One elderly woman said: “I do pity the innocent priests or anyone who’s innocent.”

Another man said the bishops “are doing the best they can. I know that some priests obviously need to be punished but we’re behind the priests and bishops.”

I guess if you believe that a man can actually turn a bit of a wafer into the body of a dead guy, and then you eat it, well, you’ll just about swallow anything.

There was a lot of discussion about Pearse. Certainly the poem displays latent paedophilia IMO.

There was an opinion piece a few days ago in the IT about Northern Catholics
