Joe Duffy asking whether the pope should be officially welcomed to Ireland.

[Luachara]

Where is this Congress of Canibals supposed to take place?

Will they be using any State lands or facilities?

[barxuma]

No doubt the anti-clerical element in RTE will rig the poll to ensure a NO vote, remember these are the same people who wanted David Norris as President and who falsly accused a priest of rape even though they had no evidence. RTE News and Currenct Affairs has no credibility in my view. You are better off turning off the radio and listening to the beautiful sounds of nature in your back garden. That is what I am doing and I feel a deep sense of peace as I cherish the absence of RTE screeching in my ear !

The Pope is of course welcome to Ireland, I am only upset that he has not visited this country more often, the Pope should have come over directly after the sigining of the Treaty, I can't believe it was 1979 before Pope John Paul II came, talk about taking your time !

[deepness]

57% to 43% no.

hardly a massive majority

[Luachara]

57% to 43% no.

hardly a massive majority

If he comes will he want smoe monument built to his superstition?

Should I even ask what an Eucharistic Congress is? Has it anything to do with members of the US Senate who are Catholic?

A very big deal in the Catholic world.

Welcome to the Congress - 50th International Eucharistic Congress 2012

Should I even ask what an Eucharistic Congress is? Has it anything to do with members of the US Senate who are Catholic?

It's a bit like a Fianna Fáil Cumann meeting for people who don't like people who dress like the person in your avatar.

Especially if they're men.

Not while they're on duty, anyhow.

Though of course that's a very simplified explanation.

[Odyessus]

57% to 43% no.

hardly a massive majority

Still surprisingly decisive given the question posed.

This is a big humiliation for Gilmore, Quinn and the anti-Catholic wing of the Labour Party, it looks like the traditional values of Rural Ireland (Belief in God, traditional Irish music and the GAA) reign supreme, hopefully the secularists will go into hiding now and we won't have to deal with their rubbish for another 25 years !

So the same Joe Duffy who was whinging the other day about the state cutting the amount of communion money it hands out to followers of this rachet will rig a poll to say no to a pope visit. Go back to sleep

Who's humiliated? 3 minutes ago you said they were going to rig the vote
