Anti Catholicism in Labour Government

[gerhard dengler]

If Labour want to become known as the anti-Catholic party (as they already are), then let them at it. It's better that they're overt rather than covert.

Stickie Gilmore and his kind have a visceral hatred of the Roman Catholic Church.

I'm delighted that Stickie Gilmore's decision to close the Irish Embassy to the Holy See is now under review.

[Garland Names the Skies]

Don't follow.

My point is that the state merely redistributes money collected from taxpayers. It is not in a position to determine idependently of taxpayers what services it will offer.

Really. I would have thought that is exactly what the point of Government is. If it was leaving it the hands of taxpayers to decide how their taxes are spent then they wouldn't be taxes now would they?

[Good Irish Mammy]

one thing is for sure, the catholic church has done a lot more for this country than the lab party ever did.

Agree Glandore. But in the case of the RCC, so much more damage too.

For generations, Ireland must have been a cold country indeed for those who didn't kiss the rings or otherwise defer to the clergy.

Ireland in the 20th century was a freer place to live in than the places that Gilmore and Rabbitte and Lynch and De Rossa and the rest wished to replicate here.

Well it's Joe Duffy. It's always bahryoooouahtal, Joe

Fixed that for you.

No, it wasn't.

[Seanie Lemass]

No, it wasn't.

Ireland was less free than the Soviet Union, North Korea, Poland, Hungary, Romania when their chums were in power. Really?

I hate posting new threads ,but I am surprised no one else has commented on Aodhan O Riordan quotations and motions.
He is the Dublin North Central TD,[Clontarf ,I assume],and a former principal of a NS.

I am taking exception to him telling 'The Irish Catholic that ' religious ethos has no place in the education sector of a modern republic”.
Really?Well who died and made you De Valera? [He who 'need only look into his heart to know the wishes of the Irish people 'fame]

There is a report called 'The Clontarf Report ' .It recommends that Civil Servants who deal with the Catholic Church should be screened to make sure they do not show' inappropriate deference ' to the Catholic Church'. This will be put forward at the Labour Party Conference in April ,and may become Party [not necessarily ]Government Policy.

Is this all that s bothering this prat? Why does he care?If Catholicism is going to die out ,it will die out naturally.Let it die in peace or no.

If Dep.O Riordan wanted to vet job applicants for heterosexuality ,there would be uproar.This is an unacceptable intrusion into freedom of religion.

[On a secondary note,Joan Bruton has cut Government payment towards Holy Communion and Confirmation clothes made by Welfare Officers,as of today.Hello Mr Moneylender.}

I am puzzled as to why we accept these petty tyrannies .Why are we valuing our religious freedom so cheaply?Does anyone object to these intrusions?Does anyone not remember the Penal Laws?Have we all forgotten all the good work done by devout Catholics in Ireland?When will we shout stop?

The Iona Institute | 01 Feb 12 Catholic civil servants should be screened says Labour party motion

This move is surely welcome and long overdue. Good on O'Riordan to highlight it.

The RCC is a organisation who protected its employees and supporters who committed crimes against humanity. It hid them and prevented the law from reaching these criminals all because they were members of its faries-at-the-bottom-of-garden cult.

The RCC no longer deserves, if it ever did, such an exalted privileged position of power and influence. It clearly showed that it didn't practice itself what it preached to the sheeple. The secret societies of this largely multi-national corporate entity are working their evil ways to smear such a practical realistic sensible idea.
