IMO, the hierarchy should tell them get stuffed!

Enda Kenny said they are hosting a reception tonight and he's going to the mass tomorrow.

Oh wouldn't that be woderfull if they did. Then we would be well on the way to separation of this State from the RCC.

No.
The reception was last night


Maybe they are holding a special exorcism for some members of the FG & Labour party.

They could be doing this to recapture the votes of the millions of catholics they have alienated.
