You can't bullshit us, Tiberius.  You'll go to the mass your mammy takes you to.  Now knuckle down to the books, and learn to spell, the 11plus is only 6 months away!

Seriously though Tiberius, not a very Christian attitude to want to be getting in and out of Mass quickly. It's Easter!

That is a terrible attitude Ziggy. Jesus took all that punishment and died for a skitter like you to find 'the quickest Mass!' Watch the Passion film tonight on RTE and ask for forgiveness. If you put as much into your faith as you do into this board and following the GAA it would suit you better.

What makes you think that Tiberius?

BBC today...


Church abuse report 'will shock'
Child
The report into child abuse is due out this summer

The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, has warned a report on clerical child sex abuse, due out this summer, will shock everybody.

Archbishop Martin was speaking at the Holy Thursday Mass in the city's Pro-Cathedral.

He said the report from the Commission on Child Sex Abuse was likely to show thousands of children or young people across Ireland were abused by priests.

"(It) will make us and the entire church a humbler church," he said.

In 1999, the then Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern delivered an unprecedented apology to the victims on behalf of the state.

He also set up the commission to report on abuse allegations in institutions such as schools, orphanages, hospitals and children's homes that were funded by the state, but were mainly run by Catholic religious orders.

Some of the allegations date back to the 1930s.

Title: Re: Where is the Quickest Mass?

No-it don't float my boat man but is why the church has been so discredited and open to ridicule and rightly so.
Title: Re: Where is the Quickest Mass?
Post by: Tiberius on April 09, 2009, 02:29:12 PM
You have made the same mistake as many before mixing up homosexuals and peodophiles. You automatically assume that because a man is gay he is more likely to be a peodophile, take your prejudices elsewhere and start your own thread. Now does anyone know of a quick mass?

Stand back Ziggy... Tiberius I will thee slay as thou hast slabbered and cast aspirtions that seek to diminish the Fox ye fool.

I've done some research... "Tiberius was one of Rome's generals, whose campaigns in Pannonia, Illyricum, Rhaetia and Germania laid the foundations for the northern frontier. But he came to be remembered as a dark, reclusive, and somber ruler who never really desired to be emperor; Pliny the Elder called him tristissimus hominum, 'the gloomiest of men' ... a sad bastard in other words.

I purpose Mass to be moved from Sunday mornings to a more suitable time like Tuesday evenings (to be changed whenever Champions League is on), Sunday mornings are obviously a detterent to the youth of today and those who like to have a tipple of give on a Saturday evening. Get with the times Benedict.

Back when I was an innocent alter boy the local parish priest said mass in 20 minutes. Was brilliant.

Of course it emerged a few years later than that he was slipping the housemaid a length. No wonder he was in such a rush home.

Thats fairly sharp, although ive been to quicker..a good quick to the point sermon always helps along with the priest being a fast talker and flying through the prayers.

You'd think Casey was a one off!

(And before someone starts crying about 'church bashing', personally i have no problem with a priest or bishop having an affair with another consenting adult - i don't think it should be a scandal.)

The scandal with Casey was using the peoples' money to fund Annie Muphy and the child. Yer man Cleary with the beard was horendous slabbering about family values and celebacy on the Late late Show... terrible piece of work who denied his own son. The two of them were up swinging their arms about the racecourse in Galway and leading the singing when Pope John Paul 1 came to Galway in 1979... any wonder so many people walked away from the church.

Well yes, those examples are scandals. My point was that a relationship in itself doesn't necessarily have to be a scandal.

Agreed but is some lie to live when preaching to the rest of us how to conduct ourselves

Back when I was an innocent alter boy the local parish priest said mass in 20 minutes. Was brilliant.

Of course it emerged a few years later than that he was slipping the housemaid a length. No wonder he was in such a rush home.

When the poor auld pope he came to Ireland
Way back in that holy time.
Eammon Casey and Michael Cleary
Served the mass and poured the wine.
Two Jockey Boys, they'd ride for Ireland
While preaching us morality..
Sure God love them, they're only human
Annie Murphy might not agree.

Aye I listen to that Christy Moore tape has the one about Knock airport and about Casey knocking down the sheep... Michael Egan is mentioned in one of them. Christy doesn't pull his punches on the clergy... right he is too

As expected Good Friday Mass was about 1.5 hours long, so I did the decent thing and took myself off to Holy Saturday mass there tonight.  Well...we had 8 verses of the entrance hymn...aye eight, sung by yer mawn from Poland or somewhere whose pronunciation was the main reason I kept focussed.  Then onto the readings.  Now the standard is a First, a Second and then the Gospel.  Ahhhhh... not so - in the land where Pentecostalism is starting to grab audiences of over 2,000 every Sunday we had to do our bit to keep the flock amused.  Three, yes 3 First readings, with short hymns in between, then two Second readings, the first of which was in Italian.  Then we had the Gospel.  That done, after Communion, the priest decided to thank everyone involved with the Lent and Easter ceremonies, including the two men who managed to get a wee light working in the paschal fountain.  And then he decided to ask his sidekick to give another sermon.  Truth be told he did tell a reasonably funny joke, but two hours is a bit of a long time. And here's me who has volunteered to join a friend at a Russian Orthodox ceremony next week.  Average length...3 hours.  Dunno which will be worse - watching Freo play tomorrow or that ceremony.
