The demographics bear it out. Only among old fucks over 65 did the "no's" win and even there they lost significant ground.
This fellow nailed it:
Once the old fuckers die off the church is well on its way to the dustbin of history.

Quote:Irish archbishops say abortion vote shows church's waning influence
The demographics bear it out. Only among old fucks over 65 did the "no's" win and even there they lost significant ground.
Quote:A breakdown of voters exiting polling stations suggested that 63% of those in rural areas voted to repeal the eighth amendment, and there was a majority for yes in all age groups apart from the over-65s. Even among those older voters, however, a significant 41% backed repeal.
This fellow nailed it:
Quote:Father Joe McDonald, a Catholic priest at St Matthew’s church in Ballyfermot, near Dublin, and the author of Why The Irish Church Deserves To Die, had predicted a yes vote. “That argument [over abortion] was lost a long time ago,” he said e this year. “The church has completely lost its moral voice as a result of successive scandals. I think the signs of death are wholesale.”
