Congress Mass going ahead as planned

f**king hell. Some boys will rare up over anything...

Only now am I having my eyes opened to the widespread sectarianism in the GAA.

The two clubs named after the Catholic parishes in my town, will surely have to rename themselves, blatant sectarianism there.

The pitch/clubhouse/changing rooms etc dedications and blessings, they need stopped, more official acts of sectarianism.

Honourary positions for clergymen, that also needs to stop.

Mass for deceased club members, more sectarianism.

Sure the Our Father at the start of the AGM every year, that'll go too.

Two of the biggest institutions in Ireland are obviously going to intertwine now and again and how something as insignificant as a frigging mass has got ten pages is beyond me. Not like we have the u8s doing decades of the rosary before training every  Sunday morning.

Those 2 for sure have no place in the GAA. I would be actually more concerned about the clubs/pitches up North names after those from the 1981 thread.

Et tu Jinxy. I despair. This is so removed from the politically correct agenda I despise. We can't have "mass" on the agenda if we're trying to pretend the GAA is for everybody. Is that not obvious?

Why do ya want a Mass, can you not find the church yourself. Do ya not have 3 or 4 Masses to choose from every sunday morning, one on saturay night, 7 am Masses in some churches. There is Mass all day every day in places like Knock or Lourdes. FFS go to Mass/Church/Chapel/Temple or Mosque just keep it out of the GAA.

MGHU you should re-read Hardy's post.

Poor use of grammar by myself.

I am actually indifferent to these types of practices but for them to be described as sectarian is an OTT interpretation and is coming from people who probably haven't experienced sectarianism in the same context as some of us in the occupied six.

A sure you probably haven't experienced sectariansim to the level that people in Israel, the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights. The issue is that there is no place for God in the GAA, much the same way that the citizens, those governed by and taxpayers within the U.K. should not have the head of state a sectarian monarch. Even if as a person she is nice enough, and even if the sectarianism is only a soft your excluded sort rather than open oppression.

It is ridiculous to attach the label sectarianism to activities that are reasonably seen as normal and inoffensive.

For me it is just from an era of hang-sangwiches, flat-caps and kissing the Bishop's ring. Anyone for the last few choc-ices now?

They're maybe 'reasonable, normal and inoffensive' to you and I, but what about people from other creeds who may like to give our sports a go, but are put off by such activities?

There's plenty of threads on here about NI flags, union jacks and GSTQ being played at Windsor Park and are considered reasonable, normal and inoffensive by the majority of patrons there.

There's no need to have a mass at the convention, fair enough free up time for those going to attend their place of worship, but it should be outside the confines of the GAA.

I didn't make it very clear but I am with you on that.

I was taking the tongue in cheek 'where will it all end?' line.
After watching the match in Navan yesterday I was left in doubt that there is no God.

[Hardy]

If there is a God, this league campaign will have the ending I'd fervently pray for - Banty gone back up the road.

[Jinxy]

He can take half the players with him as far as I'm concerned.

[The Iceman]

Look lets clear this up. When you systematically start threads calling for the removal of religion or God from politics, education and now the GAA and then reply to anyone who sees the grander scheme of your efforts that their comments are weak strawmen posts, I'm going to call it what it is : BULLSHIT.....

[seafoid]

Will delegates be allowed to engage in Congress during the mass?

If you post up a straw man it'll be labelled a straw man.
