Priests For Equality say:
“Fr Matty and a few of the cool priests got together yesterday and made this video. All the priests Ive known throughout my life have been kind, intelligent and incredibly compassionate people, so I can only imagine how devastating it has been for them to see people use God and religion as a reason to deny love between two people. God bless!”
Thanks J

The Catholics, the Presbyterians, Quakers, Muslims, Unitarians, Church of Ireland, Jewish, Hindu, Sheikh: none of these support a yes vote. Disgusting.
One of those things isn’t true.
Another one isn’t a religion, its an arabic term of nobility.
Sikh. excuse my dyslexia.
…and ones a breakfast cereal.
Nothing like a warm bowl of Unitarians in the morning
there’ll be (sugar) puffs all over the place on saturday..
No not puffs, but manure lovers.
Dont be so flakey
Yeah, use your bran scottser
hes a cereal troll
he’s meusli found out..
I hate you with every fibre of my being.
Saying that, do you fancy bowls on saturday?
dude, juice suck at bowls.
hey if you want we can just spoon… just dont spill the coco, pops
you’re such a smoothie, jimmy
you diggin my jams? i’ll toast to that!
What does a hin du?
Usually very early in the morning.
It’s not disgusting. It’s their right to vote No. I personally cant understand why we have to vote. A stroke of a pen could change it over night, but maybe being that simplistic is hard for people to grasp. Yes I know because it’s the constitution we HAVE to vote. But it’s idiotic to still have a say in other people’s lives.
A stroke of a pen WILL change it overnight if you x the Yes box (ok two strokes to be exact). That’s the point of voting surely.
Huge difference. We have campaigns and debates for right up till the vote. When months ago it could have been done by Tds with no fuss or cost or hassle.
Church of Ireland doesn’t say vote no though, but that people should vote according to their consciences. Also see the Bishop Paul Colton, of Cork Cloyne and Ross, who strongly supports gay (civil) marriage.
Also, the Irish Quakers don’t seem to have an official policy as such on gay marriage: some statements made seem broadly favourable. The British Quakers support gay marriage. Also, I can’t see anywhere where there’s been an official statement by the leaders of Ireland’s Jewish community on the matter. The Presbyterians and Catholics say no alright.
The Baptists aren’t so keen either.
Irish rabbis support a no vote. Tho, some of the congregation support a yes. But the official synagogue line is ‘vote no’
Unitarians are cool with a yes vote too.
the Unitarians aren’t advocating either way. They say they’ll decide whether to marry gay people after the referendum has been passed.
They have expressed a desire to marry gay people in the past.
And Internationally the Unitarians support gay marriage.
What I gather from your comment, though, is that you broadly want Religious groups involved in politics.
That it disgusts you that religious groups will not stay out of politics and the state.
Ok, ring Brigit Spain and ask her for the Unitarian position. She’ll tell you the exact same thing I did. Irish Unitarians are not advocating a yes vote. They’ll decide whether to allow gay marriage on their premises after the ref.
Church of Ireland doesn’t advocate a yes vote.
And Quakers have no problem with it, at least in the UK. Quakers are nice.
The Irish Quakers say that they are not advocating either way. If the vote passes, they’ll decide whether they’ll allow gay marriage to be conducted on their premises.
So most are guilty of fence-sitting but not opposing then
Yes. The quakers in Ireland also throw out of their church any one who goes bankrupt. Disgusting and true.
As a Presbyterian, I can tell you all the ones I know are voting yes and don’t appreciate how in bed the catholic church and state have been in their very own marriage of sorts for way too long. Enough with the church, any church having a say in citizens lives.
laïcité yes !
As a presbyterian I know that you’re lying, or haven’t got out much. Huge ‘no’ vote in our community.
Community?
Our ?? oh god I had you down as a hard core catholic , yes I got out, out of the north :) try it some time.
and actually that’s not fair on the north.. knee jerk, just the more exyreme elements tend to be more public there but I’d be pretty amazed to accept you have anything to do with a church and upbringing I always experienced as progressive and open minded.
extreme grrr
Poo. I just fed a troll …
Ok ok crap I just fed a troll
Who- you’re trolling yourself according to the available evidence? Jonotti’s alright – he’s just a mixed up kid
Janet, I’m pro-gay marriage! I’m Pro-abortion. I’m still a presbyterian, if a non-subscribing leftwing one.
My apolagies so
supporting gay ” marriage” is disgusting.
You are right, calling it gay “marriage” as if it is not the right way of being married is disgusting. Thanks for pointing that out!
as one wag pointed out, all marriages are same sex marriages. you have the same sex, with the same person..
They need to spice that up a bit!!
But yes… *sobs*
aw
*hugs don, again
Well, at least ye’re getting it, stop giving out.
Dig a pony
it’s nice to give the missis a break from the washing up once a week, eh? i hope you order fish..
Which Sheikh are you referring to? Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum? Probably him, yeah. He’s against it.
Sheikh Yabooty is totally in support of the gays tho Donald

Couldn’t that text be advocating a yes vote ?
Don’t people pray for good things as well as sinners?
Full of questions you are today
Sooooo the more Big Mac’s I eat, the more Yes votes will be passed? Challenge accepted.
Ma go git me my eatin pants!
*stands upwind of murtles
