Ffs, there's plenty of threads to discuss this sort of thing. It's like those knobheads on twitter who reply to Gary Lineker about shitting himself every time he posts. Oh there's a positive story about priests...I need to post an abuse story!
Fair play to Mulryne - I wish him all the best. I have been blessed to know many great priests in my life, hopefully he will have a positive influence in his new role.

He didn't give up his life as a footballer.
Possibly he gave up his accumulated wealth. I don't know. If he did where does it go and what will it be used for?
What useful things will be now do with his life?
As an individual, best of luck to him. I hope he finds happiness and that it doesn't come at a cost to others

Thanks for letting me know what, where and when to post big lad, I'd be lost without you.
Seriously , Tony has been posting about the now Fr Mulryne since just before he entered the seminary.
Good to hear that you know or have known good priests in your life, unfortunately more than a few of our fellow country men and others around the world have not had as benign an experience as you .
If Tony , who has condoned the clerical sex abuse cover up time after time , is going to keep us informed at every step of the way , on Fr Mulrynes path to ordination , well then I will , if I choose to , post links to the increasing volume of Fr Mulrynes now colleagues worldwide who are been hauled before the courts to explain their nefarious activities of the past.
Now I must go and tweet to Gary Lineker that he soiled himself on the field of play, yet again Benny I am in your debt , I almost forgot I had to do that
Replying to Tony Fearon as if his opinion matters is like worrying about what Joe Brolly, or Katie Hopkins or Piers Morgan, or Willie Frazer say. These people need feedback to feed their egos. Responding to them or taking heed of their opinion is offering them respect which they simply don't deserve.

+1.
Also good to see that Canon Stevenson still attends Armagh matches.
Did he have a nickname while he was in the seminary? All priests seemed to in Father Ted anyway.
Probably Roberto (after Baggio).He did study at the magnificent Irish College in Rome.
Let's not have this thread degenerate into the crap that goes with Tony's normal threads...

I wouldn't be a big religious person at all but i thought this was a nice story. Professional footballers with all their money can let themselves lose the run of any sense of morals or decency but this guy's faith survived all that withhim now dedicating his life to it so personally i think that is to be commended.
I have no problem with people of faith if they live their lives to the standards they set. When they don't , as is very apparent every bloody day in the north, that is when it is annoying.
I remember being at a talk he gave a year or two ago. He spoke of how his team mates would be celebrating a win or whatever but he just felt a massive hole in his life. The only thing that filled it was religion.
If that's your fancy, good luck to him.
Tony fills his hole with a bargain bucket and a picture of Pat Jennings.

While it is sad to see the extent of irrational anti -Catholicism here and in general,the story of Philip Mulryne is heartwarming and indeed inspirational.The transformation in his life path is evidence of divine intervention,of that I have no doubt.

And you genuinely have no idea why ? It's not anti Catholicism per se Tony , far from it, I know lots of practising Catholics and apart from sometimes questioning their sanity genuflecting before the sky fairy I do not in any way hate them, even you Tony !
Anti Catholicism is not necessarily hatred,and definitely not hatred of ordinary catholic people.It is the irrational extreme aversion to a faith group based on,I suspect mistakes made by the Church in the past,particularly on its mishandling of child abuse allegations by a relatively few perverted monsters who wormed their way into clerical office,coupled with the contemporary view that God doesn't exist,and those who believe he does,are deluded,unintelligent etc.
Is it too much to expect that people could at least tolerate and respect the views of others that they don't agree with.
Tolerance wasn't exactly a trait the venerated Roman Catholic Church displayed too often in Ireland in the past but now it is expected in return ?
Having pity on otherwise sensible people that worship the sky father is surely akin to most values espoused in Christian parables is it not ?

Tony is there to get a reaction.
Even knowing that I give him that reaction from time to time. Why? Because he peddles a hatred that has to be challenged. He hates people an he hates logic. Logic drives him mad. He hides behind a dogma and a fiction whilst at the time displaying a selective knowledge and understanding of that dogma. Dogma is all or nothing and Tony can't even do that.
I hope Tony follows this inspiration and goes away and becomes a priest. Otherwise he's a bit of a hypocrite really isn't he?

Hopefully that's changing. The number of vocations is way down despite the hype over a decidely average footballer joining their ranks. If there's any justice it'll lead to the death of the church and its malign influence, and they've only themselves to blame with their disgraceful behaviour in schools, children's homes and all the rest.

I'd say there is absolutely no hype over it at all to be honest! You think that Tony puts a post on a GAA forum where 200 odd people look in or post is creating hype!??
Wonder was Tony at Oliver Plunkett's tonight?
As a supposedly "unintelligent blinkered fenian" I started this thread because I believe a professional footballer who wore the jersey of Man Utd (if he only wore it once he can still always say he played for Man Utd),giving all that up is truly inspirational,in an era when vocations are at an all time low.I maintain that this is evidence of divine intervention,and who knows,the inevitable publicity concerning an ex Man Utd player becoming a priest (not hype),and Fr Philip appearing on BBC NI to tell his story,may well inspire others to consider whether they have vocations.
Unlike this thread,I have witnessed no derogatory comments from non catholic NI supporters on other forums,about Fr Mulryne's ordination.On the contrary they have been gracious with good wishes
Devine intervention. Yeah sure.
I haven't seen any evidence of anyone being anything but complimentary to the now Fr Mulryne on this thread.
More fiction Tony.
If vocations are at an all time low it must be part of God''s plan. God must also have planned the Holocaust. I wonder what those poor Jews and Gypsies did to deserve it.

I'd be interested to know what you posted on those other forums. Like for instance had you posted something here like - Congrats to ex Utd player Philip Mulryne who had just been ordained a priest and taken a vow of poverty. We wish him well - You'd most likely have got a completely different reaction, but that wasn't your goal so you worded it in a way that would provoke the reaction you wanted. As a matter of interest does your wife or any people who care about you know what you're posting on the Internet? I think you need help
So describing the unusual scenario of a former Man Utd becoming a priest as inspirational is provocative? How and why?

Oh ffs, would you ever catch a grip of yourself. If Tony is after the reaction that you suggest, then its people like you that give him that reaction. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with the title or opening post - its the usual posters with the usual reactions, complaining that Tony is looking for the usual reactions which I find most tedious. It must be tiring being Tony and all those who prey on every word he posts.
Not at all. He's a complete narcissist who needs this type of reaction. Mind you there's quite a bit of irony in your post too if you think about it.

Exactly.
What is interesting is that Philip Mulryne moved from becoming part of the mainstream church to belong to an separate order. He started out as a student in the Irish College in Rome sponsored by the bishop of the Down and Connor diocese and then last year he decided to become a Dominican friar and was ordained last week by the Dominican archbishop.
It is inspirational when a man rejects a lifestyle of fame,vast wealth etc to serve God.
Inspiration is subjective lads, no point stating it as fact or arguing what other people feel as you can only take them at their word.

Our local priest definitely now buying in the vow of poverty that's for sure, charging £25 now to sign a passport photograph !!
Fr Mulryne as a Dominican has taken a vow of poverty.
It's been a while since a priest last managed a county team. Fr Mulryne has the attributes to be the next.
Inspirational is finding a cure for cancer! A lad becoming a priest in Ireland wouldn't lift an eyebrow....he's not the first professional person to become a priest and give up on previous wealth...I've also yet to see a persist living on the streets so they do alright, and relationships aren't for everyone
Why would they live on the streets? That would be simply a gimmick.The only people who live on the streets are those who choose to do so.At a conference I was at,not so long ago,the Chief Executive of Belfast City Centre Management explained that every single homeless person in Belfast is offered a bed in suitable sheltered accommodation every night,but many reject the offer.

I don't think he's giving up any great wealth but like Trump, Tony makes up his own facts to suit his argument.
Er he once earned £600k per annum

Why aren't you giving away all this vast wealth of yours considering you are the world's greatest Catholic.?
You could even just donate all the considerably amounts of money you will make from being a landlord. Or you could donate the property to some homeless charity.
It could be better all round if Tony joined the Cistercians and took a vow of silence.
