Sounds interesting
Michael D doing his bit
Itās an open Christian gathering, small in Ireland,massive in Poland ,enlightening ,no bullshit if one wants to say a prayer read a script ,sing along to the taize chant they can,or just soak it in ,no hierarchy,and anyone in trouble sickness, depression etc they are prayed for( family, friendās,ppl in the parish,) we have a few guitars,a box and half singers like me( crow)
And do you think that unto such as you
A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew
God gave a secret, and denied it me?
Well, well ā what matters it? Believe that too!
[Translation from The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam by Richard Le Gallienne]
Fuck me! Is the pope a prod?
Speak english and il try reply to you as best I can . God bless you and pray .
Is Rome taking lessons from the prods mate?
Maybe you should revert to the Latin mass. Allowing the peasants to understand what was going on was the beginning of the end
Spread the word , people have an opportunity to take time out of their busy lives to reconnect with god . Some might find the happiness they were looking for . Theres a lot of stress out there . This might take the edge off . Might open peoples eyes , stop suicides even .
Good idea we advertise in the parish bulletin,but thereās Taize in all the collegeās aswell
Thatās why statues and drawings,and the bible stories on the stained glass windows were for
And who paid for them? You know the answer. The poor ā¦ putting what they could and more into collections. Living in hovels while the clergy lived in big houses and built the churches.
I agree but thatās what it was,canāt do anything about his story,this pope has fairly shook it up, reading history ATM heās not without faults ie the dirty war in Argentina but heās come a long way from an ultra Jesuit ,
Iām impressed with what heās doing , without the RC church weād all be getting lessons from the hedge school still
Iām not immune to the churches wrongs but we canāt keep flogging the good priests and nuns who are obviously devastated at all the corruption and abuse, weāve an ordinary group of good men and women in our parish and theyāre beyond ashamed at what went on
Ah pal, itās not just the catholic heirarchy, itās the belief\faith in any of this hocus-pocus. I really do have the utmost respect for you. I just donāt get how any rational person believes this.
I know bud,Iāve faith and count myself extremely lucky,each to his own,Iāve a baptist buddy who nearly comes to blows with me when Mary,statues are mentioned ( he brings it up -still praying to the alabaster etc" )
Such is life
Drives lads mad they cant get their heads around religion, theyāre on this earth only a short while spoon fed the same education and think they have all the answers, they dont even understand the question in the first place .
Itās a v divisive topic to those who believe itās eassssssyyyy Iām happy with mine anyway,warts and all
