Itā€™s 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, friendā€™s,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 thereā€™s Taize in all the collegeā€™s aswell

Thatā€™s 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 thatā€™s what it was,canā€™t do anything about his story,this pope has fairly shook it up, reading history ATM heā€™s not without faults ie the dirty war in Argentina but heā€™s come a long way from an ultra Jesuit ,
Iā€™m impressed with what heā€™s doing , without the RC church weā€™d all be getting lessons from the hedge school still

Iā€™m not immune to the churches wrongs but we canā€™t keep flogging the good priests and nuns who are obviously devastated at all the corruption and abuse, weā€™ve an ordinary group of good men and women in our parish and theyā€™re beyond ashamed at what went on

Ah pal, itā€™s not just the catholic heirarchy, itā€™s the belief\faith in any of this hocus-pocus. I really do have the utmost respect for you. I just donā€™t get how any rational person believes this.
