Good Priests, what have they done for you.

[supersarsfields]

That didn't last long.

Getting closer MS well done. Any Particular priest you'd like to mention?

And what relevance has a head count of good priests or nuns (no one ever mentions the nuns) got?
Is a good priest or nun someone who does their best or someone who has a special skill for the grandiose schemes.
I can't measure the quality of a selfless social service by the criteria of a priest's bricklaying skills versus a Nun who has no bricklaying skills but gives her time to serve the homeless.

The good priests and nuns need support from the hierarchy
The minimum standard of a response to the institutional cover up has been given by the US bishops in 2002.
Why are the Irish hierarchy pathologically incapable of doing the same? The good priests and nuns deserve that support.

And as sure as that is the elephant in the room, we have people here waffling on about the good priest.

the elephant in the room is the 'conspiricy theory' that people seem to want to belive exists.

a few at the top and the middle of the Irish Catholic church are guilty,but you'd swear the whole Catholic church in Ireland , as well as globally - all knew what was going on and all helped cover it up - when in reality a priest in the next parish wouldnt have known about feck all like that !

the same measurements people are using to differentiate between good and bad priests can be as easily applied to (though this time without guesswork and with evidence of the social benefits delivered) the good work priests, nuns, christian brothers, Catholic church etc have brough to this country.
that kind of sliding scale is being used against all these (with no evidence against 'innocent' priests) so can be as applicable here - bricklayers are great and build the things, but its the priests etc that make the plans and drive the projects and help get the funding etc - thought thats fairly obvious....
dont know if they helped plan any of these zoos for the elephants you are talking about !

There was a priest on Ulster radio today, Fr John Burns who was very upset about the whole thing. He came across as very genuine and sincere. He called for Brady to go...  he'll have to be silenced.

Why is that?  I thought you would be commending him, fair play to him I say.

Lowest form of wit ... sarcasm. Yeah-he came across very well and truthful. I just reckon some church hierarchy and posters hear would want him silenced for speaking out about Brady.

I'm not sure what your talking about now. Imagine, people on a thread about good priests, mentioning good priests. Crazy!!

I have not seen any poster on here ask for anyone - Priest or lay church member - to be silenced for speaking out, if they have I missed it and I apologise.
You have tried enough sarcasm on this thread yourself so it's a little rich of you to pull me for it also.

You are full of steaming keek but at least you are consistent, I will add a few of these also for dramatic effect 

[longrunsthefox]

 Oh! it's time to get personal and get away from the debate     

[Doogie Browser]

What debate you eejit?? 

[Gaoth Dobhair Abu]

GDA, while I appreciated the reason you posted the thread, I think it's time you locked it or deleted it.  Too many people with axes to grind have hijiacked it and the thread has lost its way

Ummm - he was hammered on St Patricks night?

Sorry were you in my house on St Patricks Day?
No. Didn't think so.
Some of us had work to go to early on Thursday morning, but saying someone was drunk  seems to be the way certain posters on certain threads respond to posts they disagree with or don't like
