This is a Palm Sunday thing @Mac. The three readers play the gospel parts. Father Moloney was Jesus, the lady to his left was Pontius Pilate and the lady that lost her place was the narrator. It’d be a fairly common set up for Easter Vigil type masses.
I’ve avoided any mass that i know will be more than 30 mins with the exception of Xmas eve for about 15 years now. Comiskey used to love a good 2 hour Easter Vigil. I only made that mistake once.
Happy Easter to all of you Catholics (do you say happy Easter, or what is the appropriate greeting?). I hope it is a time of solemn, yet joyful reflection for you all.
They all want to go to heaven, but none of them want to die …
Anyway, we’ve had a great result over the pretend Catholics with the relaxing of Great Friday drinking laws… I’d imagine mass numbers will feel the affect of this as a lot of pretend Catholics will nip off to the pub instead.
After the Census SHOWED that Roman Catholicism is still the undisputed number 1 religion in Ireland, the secularists (and their publican allies) had to try one more thing to get their heathen agenda going again.
The atheist won’t be happy until the words Easter and Christmas are airbrushed from Oirish life. They’ll be attacking school names next.
Good Friday was a grand old tradition this country had and its been thrown out so we can appear to be more right on. A shame.
Started with those rugby clowns, unable to enjoy a sporting occasion without getting shitfaced and now the lads who believe in Jedi knights rowing in behind them.
