    Catholics are re-thinking their nationalism

    NO Roman Catholic priests under the age of 45 are interested in removing the border and many Catholics are re-thinking their nationalism, a Catholic priest has said.

    Fr Eugene O’Neill said that many Catholics were questioning whether as Catholics they necessarily had to be nationalist and look to Dublin when the United Kingdom was more respectful of Christian churches.

    Border debate is irrelevant - priest - Local - News Letter

    Fr O’Neill seem's like a nice sensible chap...

    Is it possible to re-think your Nationalism?

    How many 'Catholics' are actually Catholics these days?

    Strange how the tune has changed from the demographics threads ......

    “I’m 45 — for my generation of priests and everyone below us, the national question is irrelevant; literally irrelevant"

    He is not sound.
