Big news coming up.
Rome wins
Rome!
Winning this bidding war is a much needed boost for the Catholic Church in Rome.
I wonder what will be the main venue in the city for it?
Did you shake Bobbyâs paw?
Dobbo said Il Papa made some unscripted comments that they werenât expecting. Anyone know what it was?
All the bit where he asked for forgiveness over the kiddie fiddlers an murderers was off script
Did any of the blow hards here attend? Looks like they were all in the pub or watching EPL games.
The jig is up.
LONG BORING POST ABOUT ME LOVING THE POPE
Just lack from a very special day in Phoenix Park. For the first 15 minutes Archbishop Martin and the Holy Father addressed the clerical abuse scandals because they said they couldnât say mass until they asked for forgiveness first. The apology seemed very comprehensive and every line of it was applauded. Parts of it were very specific - for example he apologized to women who were told that having a baby out of wed-lock was a mortal sin, when it isnât. There was a lovely atmosphere about the place and everyone left happy. Heâs a class act, a serious superstar. Because I was late I missed him driving around in his Pope mobile.
You will know that I campaigned to repeal the 8th. I am also a member of the Unitarians church in Dublin.
For me the Irish liberals have let themselves down very badly the past few weeks. Why would you protest on OâConnell Street about child abuse when just a mile away you could go and listen to the Pope apologies for the very things youâre protesting? If you care about those things, why not go listen to the apology. Irish people have long made a virtue of cynicism. Now they have made a decision to never move on from the past and are acting like itâs heroic. Other people have made a similar decision to never move on from the Troubles and also want to be seen as brave. The desperation to highlight any low attendances shows a deep underlying insecurity. I have seen a lot of complaints about homelessness and how much the Popeâs visit will cost but what have these people ever done for the homeless, beyond virtue signaling online?
The Holy Father is right, Irish society cries out for the renewing power of the light of Christ.

How?
Thatâs the question that has remained unansweredâŚ
Talking to a Garda friend of mine who was on-duty at the park and ride facility that was set up at Fairyhouse racecourse. They were set up for 8,000 cars parking there today. There were 1200 who actually came. There were nearly more gardai than pilgrims he saidâŚ
They basically just wasted 30 odd million on unnecessary security and completely embarrassed themselves
And with you!
