The official Roman Catholic thread

By the arguments being proffered here, no one would have acted as patrons to artists, because the money would have been better spent elsewhere. Sorry Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, yer as well off starve there lads or go off and get a job. Why? Because great art doesn’t deserve assistance from those who are willing to offer it, we’re being shamed into spending it elsewhere.

No antisemitism please.

Thinking that was a reference to Jews is anti-Semitic

Who I think should fund it is irrelevant to that my view that you’d have to be a simpleton to donate to repair it.

You’re not getting this, nobody but Spurs are paying for the stadium, you don’t seem to understand what has me commenting,
It’s simple and I’ve made it clear, if people wish to donate to something then this is a bit silly

Yeah that’s the great thing about all of this.

These lads reveal their lack of vision for the world, but also reveal their own hypocrisy.

I saw this referenced a bit yesterday;

Standing in front of the Notre Dame cathedral, Clark asks, “What is civilization?” He says he can’t define it in abstract terms, “but I think I can recognize it when I see it.” He then turns to the cathedral, and says, “I’m looking at it right now.”

I asked you who should seeing as you called them simpletons.

Otherwise I assume you have no interest in it being rebuilt.

Yes, a billionaire owner is paying for the stadium. Why doesn’t he spend that money on charity, its an absolute disgrace. And the people who buy tickets and merchandise and TV subscriptions are funding that billionaire too, so they are also a disgrace

That’s bidness tho, not charity …

Does that make it better?

Well people are reacting to donations — bidness is different. But essentially the same - people are free to do as they like with their money but they are also open to commentary from others - that’s life.

Notre Dame is certainly a beautiful building of immense historical significance and worthy of restoration but to say it is a monument to “civilisation” is incredibly blinkered - there was little civilised about 12th and 13th century Christianity and Christianity for many centuries afterwards.

€487,365 is the figure from Ireland so far :anguished:

I was expecting double that tbh, Ireland is a great country for digging deep when the need is greatest.

Thankfully we aren’t a Catholic country anymore.
