.. when they are often having to apologise for its atrocities? Surely it's time to disenfranchise the state from religion?

"The evil acts were carried out by evil people & had nothing to do with Catholicism or Christianity in fact they were the antithesis of it." Khandro on the previous page to this. Khandro - the vile abuses were carried out by people in Holy Orders and wearing habits and dog-collars - they were then stoutly denied for many years by a church which knew exactly what...

I think we all knew that, Douglas...well most of us.. :-)
Yes...Mountbatten. Blown up by the IRA.
I had hoped Tambo would return to enlighten us, Ummmm.
Quite an opinion about Ireland for someone who confesses to only knowing about the murder of Montgomery..... :-)
Made me chuckle.

People who haven't been, I don't think they realise how rural it is. Charlestown is what, 3 streets. Tubber is only one main street, which is still tiny. They have to travel to Galway or Castlebar when they need new clothes.

Now there's zero tolerance on drink driving (I'm not talking about getting drunk, you can't even have one drink, even with a meal) I suppose on the plus there's more females in pubs now picking up their men folk and stay for a cidoner or red lemonade :-)
All my enormous Irish family, including Aunty Eileen the nun, still seem quite devoted, Thought it might 'die off' a bit along with the oldies.
Never heard of any scandal. Although it's NI so they may well have had laws that stopped them sending girls down South. Doubt they'd talk to me about that sort of thing anyway.
Spicey, Sounds like your family are part of the countless millions of good apples, so they won't get a mention on here.
There's plenty of good apples. It's the cover ups for the bad ones that's the issue. Paedophile priests getting sent to new parishes instead of being prosecuted.

Attitudes have changed. You know how we no longer beat our children up? A bit like that.
None so blind, Gness.
I think I might become a believer.

Out of interest... have there ever been any religions that either like or respect women, in any way?
I've asked that before, Pixie. I think the answer is...no.
Seems so...
Some respect them, pixie. Don't know about like ;-)
pixie, there's nothing wrong with the religion per se, it's the minority who desecrate it are the problem
Don't encourage them, roy, For Funks Sake.
Was just checking who reads my missivs; thanx douglas
Which ones, khandro? And how?
Khandro

The minority of Catholics?
You are now ready to accept they were evil Catholic monsters?
Oh I don't think Douglas was alone, Tambo. Quite a few did and had a little smile.... :-)
