where did you come from?

Quote:Not in Boston, where the majority of Catholics are Irish, many of my priests had Irish accents.


I've never been to Boston. My comments were about my direct personal experience here in Australia. I was also referring specifically to the laity,although some of the nuns were pretty disgusting. The good brothers who terrorised me were all home grown arseholes.

I was also referring to a TYPE of primitive and superstitious Catholicism,which implies a certain world view and mindset
.
I think they call them "Lace curtain Irish" in Boston;few have ever been anywhere near Ireland..

We actually had few Irish priests and THEY were dropkicks. (That's how they got sent to Australia to begin with).
