Thanks for letting me know who I should or shouldn't have respect for.

You obviously need some guidance.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Tony, what would the Pastor in Chief, Pope Francis, think of your call for people who voted YES to stay away from church?  I think he'd admire those who followed their conscience instead of blindly following some edict.  Don't think JC would be driving away people either.  You have a curious notion of Christianity.

Oraisteach I don't know what Pope Francis would think.I only know that it is nonsensical to act contrary to the beliefs of a Church then attend the Church citing a conscience clause.

Anything to be said for another mass?

And what about your activities that are contrary to the beliefs of your church?

In fairness this is not a rejection of the Catholic Church, no more than it is the endorsement of the Government.

The hypocrisy on this board defies belief, no one is allowed to question any facet of the gay community (well they can but they are homophobic!!) yet people here can quite happily lambaste and berate a whole religious order because of the actions of a minority.  For all those patting Irish society on the back for standing up for one section of the Irish community whilst attacking another section of the Irish community you should all hold your heads in shame.

Did Renua have a position on this referendum? Would have thought they would have been on the conservative end of things

I suppose they're trying to appeal to both conservative Ireland and young Ireland
