The Cathedral of the Assumption, Tuam
Four priests from India are to be appointed to address a shortage of priests in the Archdiocese of Tuam and the increasing age of the clerical population.
“There is an over-supply of Catholic priests in India at the moment and they are available to help out here,” a source explained.
Apart from Tuam, other dioceses are bringing in priests from India in a bid to tackle the issue of retirements and a drop in vocations.

great workers altogether, and sure you only have to pay them a third of what an irish priest costs.
Is confession outsourced to a call-centre in India too?
There’s no reason that you couldn’t do that remotely….
That’s funny :-)

“Your eternal soul is important to us. Calls may be recorded for training porpoises.”
“How long since your last confession? For less than a week press 1, for less than a fortnight press 2, for…”
“For venal sins press 4, for mortal sins press 5, for…”
Justin Barrett and his ilk must be so conflicted over this.
Great news! Communion poppadom’s!
I think that’s probably racist but it’s funny. So I’m laughing in a tsk tsk way.
If they were Italians, and it was ciabatta communion, would that be racist?
If they were cannibals, and it was human flesh, would that be, um, wait, eh, would that be, ah. Um. Ugh.
Oh
Zombie, zombie, zombie ei, ei, ei, oh do do do do do do do do
Anybody else watching Sacred Games? It’s excellent.
yes
plus he’s a ride so bonus
Read the book, but haven’t watched the show yet. Cant wait. Will get back re the ride bit.
Same here. I loved that book. I’ve mostly forgotten the intricacies of the plot, luckily, so I’m not bogged down with inconsistencies if there are any.
I started watching it dubbed (which I think is what it’s set to). It was hard to follow so I went online. Vikram Chandra himself said to turn it to Hindi audio with English subtitles. Immeasurably better watching experience, I think.
Same with the German show ‘Dark’ , much better in German with English subtitles than it is dubbed.
Money heist is awesome too in the Spanish.
defo always watch in VO
Have they work permits already?
doubtlessly effortlessly and speedily
trusted partnership with the big man isn’t it
