Rathkeale parish priest promotes gay cure. Joseph Nicolosi is a founding member of the National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) and was its president for some time. NARTH is a professional association that promotes the acceptance of conversion therapy, whose adherents purport successfully changing homosexuals into heterosexuals. This is not endorsed by any reputable psychological association in world, and is bloody dangerous!

Regarding title, I would also have accepted “Party Off, Narth”

Don’t go then
It’s the promotion of a “gay cure” that should be paid attention to, not the mass.
All the fuddi duddis going to this aren’t going to keep this bs to themselves though.
2 euro to listen to the half-baked ideas of a half-witted psychologist (not even a psychiatrist) with clearly little to zero understanding of any of the evidence that shows what a charlatan he is? No thanks.
2 Euros isn’t bad. They’ve got to cover their costs after all.
He should be paying people to listen to his ramblings. Maybe its all a comedy spoof?
Psychologists are just as qualified as psychiatrists, in different fields. The former is not a failed version of the latter. (And Psychiatry doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to dealing with homosexuality; the Am Psychiatric Assoc declared it a disorder in 1951.) Both APAs, though still imperfect, declared that homosexuality was not a disorder in the 1970s.
This guy is a private trader in a country with a vast number of people who believe homosexuality is ‘wrong’. He’s profiteering. He’s not engaging in evidence-based practice, which is what psychologists are supposed to do. He happens to have received a qualification and is entitled to call himself a psychologist in the U.S. for that reason, and to practice as a result, but he’s an embarrassment to the entire profession. No Irish psychologist I know would ever support this unethical, unscientific rubbish.
Yes, I know. I was having a dig
a dig from a girl (not even a man) is pretty worthless
Still beats a dig from an anonymous internet poster
said the anonymous internet poster?
Bored, are we?
yes :(
Hmm…. how about this?

Seen it, but if i hadn’t it would have been the perfect link, cheers :)
Its one of my favs that one
ABM tries his best to cobble together the bus fare to the depths of Limerick for the “cure”. It better work this time…
He’s no need to go all the way to the depths of Limerick. You can get a copy of the Docs Greatest Hits here.

I’m sure ABM is more than acutely aware.
Wonder what’s on the CD… I’m going to assume Kylie, Pet Shop Boys, Peaches and a banging Bronski Beat remix the good psychologist did himself.
Gays in Rathkeale! I would love the travellers to start doing Gay Grabbing. Just like regular grabbin only less rapey and more fabulous.
really bs is there no debate available with you beardy hipsters.
There is nothing to debate
So you’re beardy?
The beardiest (in my pants)
All kiwis are hairy!
Do you know the feathers are really rough not soft like you would think?Almost scratchy.
So, yeah, a bit like pubes I guess :)
Thank dog for that!
LOL Rathkeale. Sure aren’t they all gay down there with their flamboyant white cars, chariots and oh so glam pink gowns?
Does this conversion therapy back to the path of righteousness involve demonstration to and instruction of the candidate in conventional hetero “relations”? Jeez I hope it’s not nuns…
