Today’s Irish Independent
Derek writes:
There are precisely nine pages of coverage plus an editorial in today’s Irish Independent on the Pope’s itinerary…….I know the paper is swarming with Opus eaters but NINE fupping pages to mark the release of the Pontiff’s travel plans. and, oh yes, space ‘limited’ to 700,000. I smell desperation on top of the papal bull…
Gulp.

They’re expecting a Mass turnout.
I wouldn’t take that as Gospel
According to who?!
I’ll confess I don’t know. Haven’t been there in decades of the rosary.
and sure you are taught more about guilt than the actual gospel in the Catholic church anyway
as opposed to the teachings of the protestant church?
I wouldn’t dream of commenting on all the teachings of each different protestant church
and actually I think it’s all bull :)
well played
Over 50 Protestant churches in the north alone Ron.
I read this as Paypal, that’s how atheist I am.
Or blind?
Nine pages! Who do they think he think he is…. Garth Brooks!?
any chance they followed Leoseach’s practice
and did a Paid Advertorial thing over those nine pages

they have the money to do it
As a successful evangelist on American TV, I can’t help but guffaw at those low sales figures, I get twice that number three times a week on my God TV channel.
What this buckaroo needs is;
1) A new marketing team
2) A plentiful supply of cripple children to heal live on TV
3) A white stetson
4) A dedicated credit card hotline
5) A wife with a questionable taste in polyester blouses and a perm
6) A once a month castin-out-a-demon-a-thon
How’s your brother B.L. getting on these days?
He’s gone vegan, the big willy – its all ‘ look at me, look at me, I only eat vegetables now’ like a proper fhriggin pop singer, the big show offing ladypart.
I hate him
Look it’s the Catholics turn now….ye had your marriage equality and your repeal the 8th so now it’s time for some good ole fashioned bible baytin!
…I think the catholics have had about 1500 years so far…definitely not their turn…fcuk off…
If he keeps up the strong messaging on environmental issues I can stomach this.
Heading to Knock to lift the curse. That other bollix didn’t do it last time
what did you lot do to cause the curse in the first place, Harry? was it all that masturbation?
Ok ok…
second attempt
anything to be said for another fiddle ?
you mean a fap?
I meant a w”nk
lots to be said for it, but a lot too to be said for semen retention; preserving essence etc
a lady w××k
opposite effect, apparently
ladies shouldn’t abstain, men should
I’m working on it
700,000 ha. He’ll be lucky if he gets 200,000. 1979 was another planet.
Make that another universe and I think you have it Lilly. The main thrust of this visit and the lead up to it will be a desperate attempt by the catlics to convice everyone that nothing has changed since the last time and they’ll be massaging the numbers every way they possibly can.
No posts on BS on the great Trump/Kim meeting?
This is a serious news site, they don’t report on fictional events.
Isn’t about time thousands of lovely Irish people find a moving statue to gawp at ?
Tough gig now that Pat Kenny’s only on the radio.
There are crowds returning to Ballinspittle because some saw a FÁS worker moving
Was that an attempt at humour?
I LOL’d
Why do you ask?
Because not funny. FAS disbanded years ago.
First 10 minutes of last nights 9 o’clock news as well (or 40% of the total bulletin)
*emigrates*
What do you expect, rte is the offical propaganda arm of the catlic church in Ireland.
no doubt there shall be postings of the RTE schedule of Papal events here soon.
I’m in. I heard the goodie bags are gonna be awesome. Mostly kitkats and snickers bars they can’t use for er, Altar Boy Outreach, due to er, new regulations, but the sell-by date is fine.
Plus, that bottle of Buckfast will go down well during the sermon.
Church welcomes gay families. Only if the same sex parents are unmarried surely?
@ soq – can I ask, does it mean anything to you if the CC welcomes gay couples either unmarried or married? I’m not religious but I’d like to know how you feel, no problem if you don’t want to reply.
NP answering and thank you for a genuine question.
The CC like all homophobic organisations or indeed individuals do not like to think of themselves as being prejudiced or bigoted but they are because it is always on their terms. Welcome on the bus but please sit down the back and, if you and your family don’t sit down the back then we will kick you off. Sound familiar?
I personally don’t believe God is is any way like the CC. In fact I think that like most of the other religions it has become so corrupted as to mean the complete opposite in our lives.
Thank you for replying soq. I agree with all that you’ve said. Nobody should be made to feel inferior, cast out and marginalised, especially by professed men of God. Yet the CC has got away with treating gay people in the most appalling way for generation, it’s so f#cked up and hypocritical.
If God exists, he/she would welcome one and all with wide open arms, bar the real bad bast*rds. Thanks again.
I know one gay person who is very religious. It never seemed to be an issue until it came into sharp focus on the marriage referendum. He voted No and a lot of people changed their opinions of him because his act was quite selfish.
He obviously gets a lot out of it but the trade off is that he is internally regarded as being less or even in some way disabled. In my mind that that is an abusive relationship.
A ticket for every No voter
That’s nice ov’em
TBF like
though at least 50,000 of them will be dead by august – 60,000 if we get a hot summer
Methinks an oul protest of 500k angry heathens would be great fun.
dat Golden Rose place looks like it stocks an impressive selection of statuettes! wonder how much the holy mary one with the led halo is…might even be multifunction, colours, flashing/sweeping modes, u can do great things with leds, bit big tho, Ryanair might do you & make ya put it in the hold if I tried to carry her on
A clock radio one would be handy

& if it was crossed with a Teasmade sure you’d be in 7th heaven
Missed opportunity to include the application form for tickets to the Pope’s gig with the ballot paper on May 25.
