Some 3.7 million people identified as Catholic in the 2016 Census (78%), 132,220 fewer than in 2011.
One in 10 Irish people say they have no religion (468,421 people), a 73.6% increase. This makes ā€˜no religionā€™ the second largest group in this category behind Roman Catholics.

How did Jedi do this time?

Youā€™ll have to look that one up yourself.

I did, and this was all I found

22% The percentage of Irish Travellers in Limerick who lived in caravans or mobile homes

That 78% is questionable too.

People who are baptised, etc, but never attend church.


Who is to blame

How many rubby fans?

Settled in every way but the name.

Were You There

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

a neighbour of mine used to bellow this out in the parish choir back in the day, it sent shivers down my spine as a gasun

I really enjoyed a cracking eve of Palm Sunday service there. I was a little bit disappointed after Wexfordā€™s Croke Park capitulation earlier but Iā€™m in great form again now. Tremendous stuff.

Iā€™ll have a lull now for a few days but Iā€™ll start to build things up again with confession on Wednesday night.

Iā€™d say heā€™s like one of those Pharisee fellas in the Bible, the ones who had as much chance of getting into heaven as a camel had of passing through the eye of a needle. And going around all holier than thou. :angry:

Thatā€™s a lovely bit of palm though.
Is that sitting on denim?
