We had a black lad there for a year or so while the regular priest was sick. A nice fella , but very hard to understand the sermon.

The African corp tend to like a good long mass. It can be a painful transition until they take notice of the coughing half way through the half hour sermon.

Some unbelievable crowds appear to be jamming into the redemptorist church in Limerick for the annual novena. Is this a world renowned event? I allowed three beauty queens to cross the road to get in there about 15 minutes ago, dressed to the nines and not even tinkers.

A disgusting broken society like Australia, full of hate and fake vanity would surely have a good heathen percentage. @fisty might be empty, but he wouldnā€™t be alone down there.

Iā€™m not sure why I would give a shit about this, but sure if you get your kicks from thinking Iā€™m seething, knock yourself out. Mentioning the Roman Catholic church in Australia though leads me to asking you chaps your thoughts on Cardinal George Pell?

1426

Iā€™ve an awful feeling I know who he is, he could be married to a relative of mine, its uncanny, he ticks all the boxes,

hates Ireland
hates the Church
lives in the middle of nowhere in the outback
loves growing his own veg and brewing his own booze

Since CountMeOut.com is no more, how would one go about officially leaving the Church of Rome?

Christ, after all the years of research and gossip, asking everyone up and down the country, you still donā€™t know who I am?
