Damned Catholics

There should be a law that all churches - not just Catholic ones - must be built at least 500 yards from schools and daycares.

Or just not built.

Forbidding Catholic Church to discriminate against people would be forbidding it to exist. The whole purpose of its existence is to show us who the "bad people" are.

Gay Teacher Fired by Catholic School Loses Lawsuit

A federal appeals court has ruled against a Catholic school teacher in New York who was fired after revealing he was gay and intended to marry his boyfriend, in a ruling that solidifies the right of religious schools to discriminate in who they hire under the First Amendment.

I'd love to sack someone because they're religious and stir up a hornets' nest.

What the pope is saying here is that he does all his own murders

He was the junta's favorite bishop after all. Ratted out a number within his own jesuit organisation who were going around helping poor people.

Clip of Sinéad O’Connor tearing up photo of the Pope met with cheers at film festival 30 years after controversy

It’s been 30 years since Sinéad O’Connor famously tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II, and things have changed.

The act led to Sinéad becoming blacklisted and mocked across the US and, indeed, at home in Ireland, where the country was still deeply Catholic and held huge respect for the Church.

In the years following, the child sexual abuse scandal within the church became well-documented, as did the horrors of the Mother and Baby Homes in Ireland, and Ireland today is almost unrecognisable, with liberal laws including the legalisation of abortion and same-sex marriage.

The public’s opinion on Sinéad’s views at the time – and her defiant act on SNL – has also changed, as was made clear at a recent film festival.

At the 34th Galway Film Fleadh festival this week, director Kathryn Ferguson’s new documentary about Sinéad, titled Nothing Compares, won the award for Best Irish Documentary.

The documentary looks at Sinéad’s life and career, and at one point showed the moment she ripped up the photo of Pope John Paul.

And, according to The Irish Times, this time, instead of silence and anger, the clip was met with cheers and applause.

Bishop says he can no longer guarantee Sunday mass in every church in diocese due to shortage of priests

The Catholic Bishop of Limerick has said he can no longer guarantee that mass will be celebrated in all churches in the diocese every Sunday due to a lack of priests.

Bishop Brendan Leahy warned his flock to prepare for “new arrangements” that will also see lay people say prayers at funerals.

“The ageing profile of clergy is now very evident. It is clear at this stage that we can no longer guarantee the celebration of a Mass in each church in the diocese each Sunday,” he said.

A number of pastoral units in the west of Ireland diocese are set to lose a priest this autumn and he appealed to parishioners to face the challenges with realism and determination.

The diocese of Limerick is one of a number of Irish dioceses challenged by an aging and declining clergy.

In a recent address to a plenary meeting for clergy in the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin, Bishop Denis Nulty told his priests that he would issue a pastoral letter to every parish in the diocese on September 5 outlining a draft plan on the reduction of masses and parish clusterings.

Meanwhile, 13 parishes in the Diocese of Kerry no longer have a resident priest and the diocese is now focusing its structures around 12 pastoral areas, in which clergy and resources are shared.

Similarly, the Diocese of Ossory, which has 42 parishes, is now focusing on 13 pastoral areas, rather than its parishes.

The Archdiocese of Dublin is also set to introduce radical measures in a bid to offset the impact of its declining and aging clergy, including appointing parish priests to oversee multiple parishes.

Some 40pc of the 312 priests serving in the country’s largest diocese are over 70 years of age and most of these will retire at 75 over the next four to five years. The diocese has just two students preparing for the priesthood.

Oops, Bergoglio what did you do?



But was she so innocent? Apparently, Daria Dugina was a 30-years-old top-rank member of a Nazi "Eurasiast" movement, a high-rank propagandist, who said Ukrainians were subhumans, called for genocide, and urged to publicly execute Ukrainian POWs.

Catholic bishops urge voters to reject Michigan’s ‘extreme’ abortion law

If voters approve the abortion amendment, they would strike down a state’s 1931 law that makes it a crime to perform most abortions. That law was suspended in May and a judge in September said the law was unconstitutional.

The Michigan Catholic Conference, public policy arm of the state’s Catholic bishops, urged voters to vote against the proposal in November.

“We are committed to defeating this extreme proposal that allows abortions up to the moment of birth and invalidates every common sense limit on abortion, such as parental consent, health and safety regulations on abortion clinics, and more,” the Catholic conference tweeted Sept. 9.

A Michigan elections board in late August reached a stalemate along party lines about placing the abortion initiative on the ballot.

Two Republican members on the board said they wouldn’t certify the proposed amendment because they objected to the spacing in the proposal and also its readability.

If you haven't clicked on the above video you should because it shows what a gangsta pope is.

It's made by a man in his 50s(?) whose sister was kidnapped in the middle of the Vatican back in 1981 when both of them were kids. And turns out she was kidnapped because Pope John Paul II stole money from the Italian mafia, which held a big part of the Vatican Bank, to blackmail the Vatican to return the money. John Paul II refused to return the money and the girl was sacrificed for it.
