i happen to agree with alot
of what he says.hes a born again christian who has left his violent past behind and who left sinn fein because even though they claim to be representing catholics they are pro abortion.im of the same opinion that this country is poorer for practically losing our irish language,our faith and our sense of civility.murders,suicides,drug use all up as Mass attendance and faith goes down-coincidence????????
its just your opinion that hes a nutter-my opinion is different however and so are many others.
oh dear,your so wide of the mark.
your obviously referring to st.Alexandria,a girl who rather then be subjected to another rape by her relatives she jumped from her bedroom window and suffered severe spinal injuries.she was bed ridden and went through such awful suffering but began praying alot and recieving Holy Communion,she then survived on just Holy Communion alone to prove its power(this she did for 3 years and all scienfic tests at the time proved this).get your facts right-get a book on the saints-and please please go to confession and save yourself.
so just to also point out that a thread was closed here a couple of years ago because of ppl "disscussing" the muslim faith,but it turned into a war of words and views from different ppl and was closed to stop the insults to the muslim faith.its sad,but not suprising,that this thread hasnt been closed despite the sheer depth of insulting remarks about my faith(which are just ppls views but which could be worded nicer).but then us catholics are use to getting a bashing from all types of media-join the club foot.ie.
to answer another comment,its not ALL priests who are child molestors either.a report found that out of 1500 child sex offenders 35 were priests,thats 3%.but this is the % that the media foucused on.so the 30% of teachers were ok and the 20% of doctors were fine too but 3% of priests meant that you were to never trust a priest again-bull.i know its 3% too many.dont paint everyone with the same brush.ill defend my religion to the death.this thread has gone grossly off topic too.i started defending this guy and it suddenly became an attack on the whole of the catholic faith.close this thread or get back on topic.
ill get the link for you.
ill get the link to this report for you.ill email the Alive newspaper and ask them for it.thats where i seen it.
its the media that dont seem to warn parents about leaving kids with teachers,swim coaches,doctors etc but i remember reading articles about why you shouldnt leave them with priests and it never mentions other sections of society.
yes the church made mistakes with cover ups etc and i condem these.
to get back to the topic of this thread.i agree with this guys views on many subjects.ive already talked about the catholic faith.i strongly agree with his views on promoting irish and getting that back as our main language.its a beautifull language and deserves to be used alot more.the independent group led media however jam british and american crap down our throats so much that ireland is now turning ireland into mini versions of these countries and losing its own identity.
