Imagine if all religious humans were praying to the same God unbeknownst to themselves. It would be part beautiful, part tragic.

Shur catholics are already tuned into three different manifestations of the same godâŚwith the actual church thrown into the mix. Thatâs after you subdivide christians into the âturn the other cheekâ crowd and thelose lads who would lay waste to the Hittites, theAmorites and the PerizzitesâŚnot to mention the the Hivites and the Jebusites.
Weâre a broad church

Christianity is a funny game. We accept the teachings of the old testament. But we ignore the bits where ahab or isaiah (not isiah mind you) demands than any man who has sex with a goat must die. Yet despite abandoning this key, fairly dramatic insistence, we donât take advantage of our freedom and hump goatsâŚtyrone lads aside.
What gives?

I am most attracted to the âcutting out the middlemanâ approach to belief in a higher power but at the end of the day, I am not and never will be smart enough to know if God does or does not exist. Iâve done a very light reading of a range of spiritual beliefs and religions once I was able to see the beauty of the forest after being diverted by the ugliness of some of itâs trees and feel there is great lessons in all those guides.
Bullshit. You just want to hump the goats.
It makes the curry taste better after I slaughter them.

That the universe and all the wonders in it merely exists, is proof alone that a higher power is present. Take mankind for example - it is highly unlikely we came to be just by mere accident. There most definitely is a greater power out there, in what form it takes nobody knows, but itâs there.

I know who made the world from my catechism.
But who made the universe?
The same force that made the earth.
Went to mass for the first time in years, the priest gave a tour de force sermon. He was banging in about young people using social media, it causing all this excess anxiety in the youth these days and parents shouldnt allow them on it.
Then he meandered into people looking to get children baptised with 2 mothers or 2 fathers on the birth cert. Children being brought up without knowing their mothers and its being allowed by the state while there is also people looking to find their mothers after being in a home. He called it a savage hypocrisy. No one is here without a mother and we cannot remove them, they have to be on the birth cert. Men may not be on the birth cert as in some circumstances the father wants nothing to do with the child.
I had a great time. He would make a savage poster on tfk is all i was thinking

Where was this. We had a lad at the uncles anniversary mass last month in Rockhill banging on about something similar
I wonder would some priests be ringing around on a Sunday morning cogging sermons in a panic.

I doubt it at this stage. Thereâs so few of em left that that weâre heading to stage where a sermon will consist of an act of contrition and a hail mary as heâll be under pressure to get to the next parish to do same

Fr Declan McInerny sowed it into the wokesters recently, it was a lovely tirade at the time, I think it was in response to the eurosong contest.

A series of really, really old priests nationwide being forced out of retirement to help out with the day to day masses. These lads must seriously resent being parachuted back into the big leagues. They could be sitting off in a retirement home perusing the papers & having tae served but theyâre instead saying daily massâŚvery slowly. I was at a wedding on Saturday where the ancient priest repeatedly got the brideâs & groomâs names wrong & kept going off script with rambling asides told in a really deliberate way. The wedding mass took nearly two hours.
