What's up with Ireland?

RE: What's up with Ireland?
It's good to see the Church is still strong in Ireland, and it remains the Isle of "saints and scholars"

Quote:DUBLIN — The Roman Catholic Church has lost the battles over divorce, contraception and gay marriage in Ireland. But it still wields what some parents call the “baptism barrier”: influencing admission to public schools.

Judging by their track record it looks like they are going to go 0 for 4.  Good to see the church take it up the ass..... although the pervs probably like it.

Why is that? Is it because the people of Ireland are so rich now, they feel less of a need to pray to God?

I am not sure what they have against the Catholic faith at all really Undecided .

No, because they were sick of constant sex abuse scandals among the clergy, the abuse of their children, and idiotic rules that lead to the deaths of innocent people.

Plus the rcc and its proxies are no longer our only source of information. We're looking out into the world these days and have abandoned the narrow catholic parochialism.

Also the preoccupation with religious mores in Ireland was largely a result of the famine. Before it, while the country was mostly catholic, the church had nowhere near the amount of power it had from 1850 to 1990.

I wouldn't be sure that the rcc still hasn't a long future in the schools. Education is by far the most conservative department in the state, no wonder when you spend eight years in religious primary school, 6 in religious secondary school, and 4 in religious university (all teacher training colleges in Ireland are run by religious orders). Primary schools have to spend half an hour a day on religious instruction, plus the month each in 94% os schools for communion and confirmation, thats nearly two whole years learning about Jebus.

Recently a secular group were denied the right to patron a state funded school in Cork. If they were successful they would have been the first state school (outside of third level) without a religious ethos to inform every decision.

I agree rrc doesn't have much of a future in schools considering this is the technological age kids can just google find out what their being taught
is  bs. As far as the secular group being denied i am not surprised that happen the church is still trying to hold what little power they have still.

The men in dresses probably thought that about gay marriage, too.  They are being overwhelmed by a tide of secularism.  Good.  Fuck the church.

Do you know ANYTHING about Irish history???????????

There's been several movies, you could watch, but to start with:

"Song for a Raggy Boy"

"The Magdalene Sisters"

there's more books than I can count;

start with "Trinity" by Leon Uris.

Why is that? [...]

Because people all over the world are slowly becoming wise to the Christian bullsh*t. Get used to it - it will continue to happen, because even the best scam can't go on forever.

If you don't want your precious child-buggering club to die out completely - you need to f*ck your mother more often, so that she quiffs out some more syphilitic retards, like yourself. Good luck. Big Grin
