I strongly suspect that ErinGoBragh is True Christian.

As soon as you turned on him, TC came to mind straight away!
I didn't want to agree with you publicly just in case this is how Irish folk talk to each other normally?

I am imagining Ireland as the pagan society it once was . . . . . . . buuuuuuuuuut the more I think about it the more I realize that paganism was no more worst than Christianity and especially the vile shit known as the Roman Catholic Church. Thoughts are thoughts though

I just feel Ireland has fallen victim to the globalist, anti Catholic agenda.

There are not enough nuns anymore to care for all who need their help and support.

I was taught by nuns and fear the lack of people who have the courage to commit to celibacy

Wasn't it a workhouse that was found to have a mass grave recently?

Yes, they were selling babies to Ameica, and letting those who didn't measure up starve.

We all know countries change. First they are one way, then they are another.

I love Ireland, but I am sort of sad about the direction it has chosen to take in the past 25 years or so.

They have legalized divorce, contraception, and now gay marriage. I get part of the reason this happened was the decline of faith among Irishmen and Irishwomen. But I have to think part of it was foreign international "colonialist" thinking.

People who thought the Irish were "backward" and needed to be "modern." That way of thinking is sort of offensive IMO, as if a group of people can't decide what is good for them.

As it stands.. how likely is it Ireland could "turn back the clock" and be restored to being a truly Catholic nation?

I want it to be so.... but I won't hold my breath

As someone who lived in Ireland, I really hope that they wouldn't do anything as stupendous as going back to the "Great Catholic" ages of Irelands history.

The direction it has chosen, is the direction that allow people to choose what they want to do with their lives, and the direction that disallow other people to control how other people shall be forced to live their lives.

You are seriously dillusional if you think that divorce, contraception and gay marriage is a step in the wrong direction.

And Irishmen are always busy saying how much they dislike England, so why do you want to keep an ancient cultural relic, that was passed on, forcefully.

I know this guy is banned already so he won't reply, and this is pretty much beating a dead horse, but I'll take a shot.

Let's see here
Goes on Atheist forum, asks how to make a nation fully religious again. Hmmm....I smell a troll.

Seriously, if you want to live in a full on West hating Christian nation then go to Eastern Europe, you know, that place with the Communists and mass Censorship? How about one of the African countries like Uganda? They're pretty Christian, they even jail and probably even kill people for being gay. Just don't mind the countless wars deadly mosquitoes and starvation.

He was banned for being a sock of TrueChristian, who was definitely trolling (and probably an atheist troll).

Since this thread has risen like Lazarus, one more comment:

There was indeed a time when the Western world was under the firm yet loving hand of Holy Mother Church.

We call it 'The Dark Ages'.
