Is Mise, we were taught lots of rubbish from an old book, but I remember the blind reverence given to priests even if you don't!

You do care that gay people may be given the right to marry legally because it would adversely affect your own marriage, remember?

Suse,

"Is Mise, we were taught lots of rubbish from an old book, but I remember the blind reverence given to priests even if you don't!"

What has blind reverence got to do with infallibility?

As far as blind reverence goes I can remember being at a public meeting in Galway when the then Bishop of Galway was jeered by the faithful.
He was berating all and sundry because the locals wouldn't have a certain tinker woman (a notorious foul mouthed drunkard) as a neighbour.
The crowd was giving the Bishop a bit of a serve and one particularly loud voice shouted,
"Ye've got a big house, do yer Christian duty an' tak' her in yerself!!"
The Bishop said not another word and stormed off the podium.

Seems that my memories of the Irish are a bit different to your's.

My paternal grandfather, one Eoghan O'Flaithbheartaigh, was visited by the curate of the local parish, who admonished him for not attending mass, the granpa replied to him in Irish.
"Sorry," says the Irish priest "but I don't speak the language".
"Well" was the blindly reverential reply, "when ye can speak to me in our own language, then I'll come to yer church".

"You do care that gay people may be given the right to marry legally because it would adversely affect your own marriage, remember?"

No, I don't remember, kindly refresh my memory but remember that you are having a bit of trouble with English.

Not a problem Is Mise, let me help you with that selective memory :
"Suse,
It is discrimination against those that hold that their marriage to a person of the opposite sex is demeaned by same sex marriage.
Changing the law is discrimination against such people.

Sorry if I beg to differ on your little experience of Ireland and the Irish.
I think I will side with the Irish living in Ireland at the present moment.....you know....the ones who have lived there all their lives?
I will go with what they say about the current chaotic, archaic Catholic Church thanks.

The Irish who bothered to vote are really not very bright. Most kids fiddled with by Catholic Priests were ones attracted to same sex. In voting to condone perversion more kids will be fiddled with.

runner,

Do you have any evidence that you could link me to proving that most of these children were homosexual? Are you blaming their homosexuality on the fact that they were molested? That's what fundamentalist Muslims do when it comes to women who don't "cover up".
