What's up with Ireland?

[dyresand]

Hmmm that is the problem with wealth isn't it?

When the Irish were desperately poor and persecuted.. they drew close to Holy Mother Church and said the rosary regularly..

Now that they are a wealthy, first world nation.. they are really an arrogant lot and quite ungrateful to the Church

Perhaps if Contraception were made illegal once again they woudl be a bit poorer with all those mouths to take care of.... maybe if much less were spent on health care and education?

I wish there would some "pro simplicity" party in Ireland which would promote.. a more simple style of living,.. less reliance on contraception, money and "material" comforts for the Irish people, who until recently.. were faithful sons and daughters of Holy Mother Church.

The Irish would enjoy it if they stopped being so bratty. It would be like living in a buddhist monastary or a hippie commune.. only much much less fun. Just as well anyway. Fun gets in the way of prayer and mortification of the flesh.

Pretty sure the Irish had enough of Catholicism in recent years. I mean get this the  church has a good grip on the country 
people nowadays like in the US wan't nothing to do with the church or religion for that matter. In the case of Ireland the church
has too much power and even control education for the most part. You have the problem of priests wanting to touch children 
and get away with it. All in all what the fuck did you think would happen after awhile that they would put up with no they wouldn't. 
The Irish are doing a good thing they are turning secular and humanist and atheist. Like when did a religious society actually did good
for humanity anyways? Sure you can argue with algebra and other things but when it comes down to it, there is only so much a society
based on religion can do before turning regressive.
