Are SF out of touch with many of their voters with their policy of agreeing with Gay marriage?

I wouldn't imagine so.

People here don't vote on "issues" so it won't make any odds

Precisely. Green and Orange is really all that matters to the majority of the voting public.

I see Marty/Peter are setting up an All Party Committee to "sort out" all the issues around flags and parades.
They're learning how to play this politics lark alright  ;)

Yeah it's a long hard road to drag Peter into the real world but Marty is getting there slowly.

Not really!

With the opinion of SF on this in stark contrast of that of the Catholic Church I would imagne many SF voters will be a bit annoyed.

With this and their apparent lack of interest in the A5 project I will consider my vote in the future as I am sure many in this area will.

Would the opinion of the Catholic Church not be in stark contrast to that of most Catholics in Ireland?

On a few matters yes but on this one I'm not so sure. Most of my family and friends would be opposed to Gay marriage. A lot may not admit to it but privately opposed.

I really don't think many people will decide their own personal opinion on gay marriage based upon what the Catholic Church say.

I can't understand why some of these Catholics would desert SF for support of gay marriage when they voted for them during the years of republican murder and violence. Are these people objecting because they're Catholic, or because they're maybe just a bit conservative, or even homophobic?

Ah is that what it was? Here was me thinking it was a politically motivated conflict but apparently not. Apparently it was just "years of republican murder and violence".
