The official Roman Catholic thread

[Sidney]

Getting Martin O’Neill to assist in saying mass was a good coup for the Catholic Church.

I imagine Manuela Spinelli’s FAI links were key in securing the Eire manager’s services.

I think his heart was in the right place but the delivery of the message was very clumsy,

I’m quite surprised that such an educated man cannot attempt to communicate, even read in English

He’s 81 and leads a billion people, he can do whatever he wants.

There’s a hape of lads posting here that are also supposedly educated and can’t communicate in English.

Crowd bored out of their skulls here. This one making faces at a baby to pass the time.

[gilgamboa]

Every time the camera man pans to the crowd he comes across people conked asleep

[Sidney]

That’s a really poor crowd. I’d be surprised if there’s more than 35/40k there. I’ve seen much bigger crowds there for Eire teams which reached the last 16 of the World Cup and for “Bloom” festival.

That was as dull a sermon as you’d hear at any mass.

[Mac]

Were you expecting something a bit different than a mass for a mass?

[Sidney]

@Fagan_ODowd

That was as dull a sermon as you’d hear at any mass.

At least an Irish priest might have thrown in something about the Limerick hurlers, or the need to defend “the faith” like a Tyrone footballer would defend his goal, or some other bland local pop culture reference to show they’re “in touch”.

Polish lad there doing a prayer of the faithful in a love both hoodie.

[Sidney]

Another hoodie there.

You wouldn’t get into a shopping mall wearing that.

Maybe his holiness detests Limerick & Tyrone and wouldn’t please either of the septic cunts and give them a mention.

The Italians can’t figure out why very few people are turning up to see the pope… It’s all over the news again today, highlighting the empty seats in Croker and the empty field today.

Áine and Dermot have just shared a sign of peace with those of us home alone.

[Fagan_ODowd]

There’ll be 350,000 communion wafers chucked out after this.

Would you be a religious man Fagan?

[alf_stewart]

Did many show up at the hozier gig/protest thing?

I try to be a good man farmer.
