The official Roman Catholic thread

You would lose .

Enlighten me so.
Tell me all you know about the various types of school. BoM make-up? Ethos? Disadvantages/Advantages? I’ll be surprised if your post goes over two lines and if it does, i’m confident of exposing a good proportion of it as absolute horseshit. Wikipedia only goes so far BTW

Carmannach cleaning house here with God on his side.

Someone more intelligent and refined than me will confirm but I think the use of the apostrophe may be appropriate in this instance. I’m almost certain you can use it when referring to multiples of a single letter, i.e. there are two t’s in the word letter. This rule may also be permissible when referring to the plural of CBS, I await confirmation.

Carmannach is certainly on a crusade here. Good luck to him, should expose the anti-Catholic brigade for what they are.

Self-hating, pseudo-liberals who are so desperate to be “different” from mere “ordinary” people that they turn out to be just the very same as every other fuckwit who wants to be “different”. No doubt I’ll be called a dinosaur or a backwoods man, my dedication to “progress” and “enlightenment” will be questioned. I’d be amazed if someone doesn’t mention the Spaghetti Monster in the Sky soon, as if reading a book by a Fundamentalist Atheist Zealot somehow rebuts the arguments of a Fundamentalist Religious Zealot or disqualifies anyone else from having an opinion, (could Dawkins not have thought of a slightly less irritating persona). Attention seeking gowls the lot of them.

I reserve a special place in the fury-chamber of my heart however for the goms who profess opinions on the Church’s impact on primary education. Just because they attended school they think they’ve an expertise, I went to the Zoo once, does that make me a vet?

Indeed there may be some ambiguity about this. That doesn’t however excuse the abuse of the apostrophe (a catostrophe I like to call it when misused). The general consensus seems to be on this link below:

Oh fucking hell we have a special type of retard here.

Care to engage with any part my post or are you merely going to throw insults about?
On a side note, are all retards not special cases?

The Bom is usually made up of some good but also some busy bodied parents, the principal and/ or former principal and of course the local peado. The more rural the school, or older the peado the more an interview for an open jobwill be turned into how religion will be taught by the peado.

There are various types of schools from educate together , regular mainstream catholic and prod and also deis schools with their home liason officers who play a very large role within both school and community. The ethos in deis schools of course is less focused on religious matters compared to others.

Advantages of an educate together is endless. Encouraging individuality… not seeing the teacher as an authority or fearful figure and addressing them by their first name…dealing with issues like sexuality and in a nut shell how they develop kids to have their own opinions… As far as I know there are not any second level educate together schools, or at least very few, so a lot of these kids will go from the environment described to sitting there and doing as they are told. Of course the regular catholic school kid will be well used to this environment of being dictated to and so will be fine.

My phone is dying here pal but lay on more specific questions if you like. Most of my friends are teachers so I can send out a text if wiki doesn’t help.

Edit… I forgot about Gaelscoils. A nice alternative with little emphasis on religion, but hurling a must.

…how does one possibly ‘engage’ with a rant bursting full of hyperbole, cliche, strawmans and all round bullshit masquerading as an intelligent argument?

Just out of curiosity, have you researched much on the foundation of your faith?

And how it is a rip off of hundreds of religions that went before it?

How do you feel about your rule book being a man made one, which was largely edited by constantine, a pagan, so he could hold sway over the crumbling Roman empire?

Having done such research of course you found out that most things in the bible, like the ascention of Jesus, are not literal events, but metaphors taken literally by the peasants and of course the church do little to correct this…

Anyway, we would be here all night if we were to talk about how the greatest story ever told falls down…

But the real self haters are you lot, too afraid to go out and live life as you want to. Too afraid to go against the grain and happy the put your faith in a make belief being so then you have something to blame if it doesn’t work out the way you wanted. You live your miserable life denying this world for a utopia in the sky because you your puny brain can’t comprehend never seeing people you loved in this world again… You can’t handle that alienation and so are happy to believe whatever lies your are told just to stave it off. You are a fucking slave to your emotions, particularly your fear and want to inflict this on the rest of humanity to make you feel better about yourself. I could live with Christianity, more particularly the catholic church, if these cunts practiced what they preached, but they don’t. It is the most backward, culture stealing, controlling and demeaning institution on the planet which has hampered the progression of man kind since its inception.

Thank fuck I live in an age where I can express this, where I don’t have to bow down or kiss the ring (not that ring) of the clergy. The cunts have raped this country and its sickening they continue to have any say in any aspect of the state. Church and state should be 100% separate, if you want to believe your shite do it on your own terms and don’t inflict it on me as you have done in this country for over millennia.

The sheer audacity of the egocentric cunts to believe we are the centre of the universe and we only around a wet week. This again ties into their fear, they are riddled with it.

I’m seething over this religious fundamentalist and his ramblings this evening.

I think we should all keep in mind CM in our prayers tonight lads, we shall pray that God will look out for and protect his misguided soul.

and just because you listen to a priest every sunday doesnt make you an expert on all creeds or non creeds

Why can’t we all just get along.

Atheists are intolerant bigots.

Okay, where to start…
BoM only has two representative of the parents, one male, one female.
One representative of the staff
The principal
And two independent, “community” representatives
The diocese or alternative patron also nominates a 2 reps although this is usually done by the board and approved by the diocese
The chair is often the parish priest but it’s not unusual in the least for it not to be
As regards interviews, the chair doesn’t even have to sit on the interview panel and even if he/she does religion, according to strict criteria for such interviews, can only take a small part of the marks awarded

DEIS schools aren’t an ethos you fuckwit :lol: , any school can be a DEIS school, DEIS status is decided by the level of disadvantage in the area
Loads of schools use teachers’ first names, not just ET, and if that’s the extent of your reasoning for choosing ET, the you need to do some more research. I have no issue with ET either ways.
gaelscoileanna is the way to go, with or without a Catholic patron

Where in any of my posts did I say that I subscribe to the Catholic faith? If Catholics are mad for assuming there’s a god, then surely your presumptions about an internet poster whom, you’ve never met are equally preposterous?

As I’ve asked Cock au Lait Mousse above,
