Maybe in your case, it'd be just as well.no cause you don't talk during a minutes silence

Why should Catholics not honour their religous leader, you can be sure that when that 'glorified princess' died we all had to put up with it. Sure even that Royal clown has postponed his 2nd wedding by 24 hrs, they can follow his example if they honour him so much.

"evils"? I`ll have a starter for 10. How about significant responsibility for the death of millions of Africans due to AIDS, by his continued public stance against contreception?
Ahh this old chestnut
Now what is the main main cause of the spreading of most of AIDS in Africa? Now what is the churches position on sex? Now why oh why do all these people blindly follow the Churches view on contraception but not on sex?

Oh no not them again
Have to say i thought Bertie dealt with the whole thing very well to be honest ...... [SIZE=1]as much as it pains me to say that i'd agree with anything that Bertie does !! [/SIZE]
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Try telling the hundreds of thousands of infected babies & young children that they are paying for their parents mistakes with their lives.Ahh this old chestnut

Its a valid point but the AIDS problem in Africa is down to a number of other factors aswell.
Pope John Paul is one of the outstanding figures of the second half of the 20th century. Whether liberal-fascist D4 types like Fintan "Tool" O'Toole like it or not, he commands huge respect and loyalty amongst the people of the world, of all religions.
The supporters of Galway United will give him the respect he deserves later on today in Terryland Park. 1979 will never be forgotten. Some of the posters here are totally out of touch with the depth of feeling from the public towards this man.
As for contraception, some people just have to use their personality

To be perfecly honest, I have no interest in who the Pope is, what he does or anything like that. But the fact is that Ireland is still (unfortunately in my view) a country with an overwhelming allegiance to the Roman Catholic Church and therefore if the majority of people want a moments silence or want to observe a period of mourning, their choice should be respected. I do not think there should be any national day of mourning, but people should be allowed to take time off to pay their respects if they so wish. Last time I heard, there was a separation of Church and State in this country, but one which does respect people's faith, therefore they should have the entitlement to do what they feel is necessary to show their faith.
As for what the Pope did or didn't do- I think its a debate that should maybe be left for another day, when feelings are not so raw. As already stated, I have no interest in or allegiance to the man, but people are mourning right now, and even if I cannot understand why they are doing so, I think that should be respected.
when will people learn that their arguments are utterly destroyed by the use of completely stupid phrases like this
SOC is dead right.Try telling the hundreds of thousands of infected babies & young children that they are paying for their parents mistakes with their lives.

The Church's stance on contraception isn't the big issue in Africa that it would be here. The church preaches monogamy, that's not followed. The church preaches against contraception, that is? Is it really the churches influence that's making the difference.
I think it's more likely due to the average African finding it difficult to pop down to Boots to buy a 12-pack of Durex when he's in the mood. Given that situation, the church enforces it's belief in Monogamy, which is a perfectly valid tool to use against the spread of Aids.
Advising people to stop screwing around was also one of the first methods the 'developed' world used to combat the spread of AIDS in the 80's.

Would youcare to show some evidence that "liberal-fascist types like Fintan O'Toole" (reading a little too much Mark Steyn & Kevin Myers are we?) has at any stage, ever, claimed that John Paul did not command respect?
Actually care to show even ONE remark/word/column/interview where F. O'Toole made ANY sort of disparaging remark about the Pope?
... and calling FO'T a D4 type is about as misguided as it gets.
The Pope has had no impact on my lefi but I can respect a minutes silence as he obviously had impact on other peoples lifes.
Out of 3.4 million Catholics in this country how many actually practice regularily. Most people just need the church for weddings, funerals & then baptise their children as its the done thing. Most of us are born into in & its a bit like football cos you never really leave...

Umm true, all very sad but that realates to JP being evil how?Try telling the hundreds of thousands of infected babies & young children that they are paying for their parents mistakes with their lives.

And so the sexual exploits/misbehaviour of many dont or have not contributed to Aids ? Blame the Pope for preaching moral values ? Catch a grip.
And i never even mentioned homosexuality either.

Not far off there. He's from Crumlin, afaik, and his dad was a bus driver. He's written about his working class roots, he certainly doesn't pretend to be otherwise.Ah yeah, sure he's your typical working class hero from down the docks. Pass me a cup of bovril Finbarr, good man
I'll leave the hero bit to yourself, because you introduced it. Otherwise, sorry he doesn't fit into your handy stereotype.
