Bishop Brennan urges public to pray for end to rain

peasant

Is there anything to be said for saying another Mass? A real-life Bishop Brennan is encouraging people to pray to put an end to our soggy summer.

Bishop Denis Brennan from the diocese of Ferns is planning to offer prayers this weekend after the continuing rain forced the cancellation of a major agricultural show in County Wexford.

His call for prayer has reportedly been reproduced in local newsletters and online.

Bishop Brennan was spurred into action after he met a local farmer who told him of the effect the weather is having on his crops.

Personally think that a good old Sioux sundance would be more effective , much more spectacular ....not to mention less ridiculous

People can do whatever, I do find this a funny line:
''Bishop Brennan was spurred into action''

Go dig some drainage, that's action.

Anyone else read it as "reign"?

The sooner we all realise that rice should be our national crop, the better.

Why doesn't he just pick up the phone, being a bishop, wouldn't he have a direct line to the bearded dude in the cloud who keeps pissing on Ireland!!

And anyway, it's Ireland. Doesn't it always rain there, I remember as a kid growing up staring out the window during the summer while it rained & rained! It's not the tropics he's living in!

sure if someone actually believed praying could end this rain, wouldnt they have tried it already and wouldnt Noah have done it, he believed enough to build an arc and apparently spoke to God about it so why not just ask him to stop it raining.

Is there ANYTHING to be said for another mass? Even just a small one!

Pretty much.... and we're still confused by the odd heavy downpour.

It's baffling alright that people still actually believe prayer to be of any use. Would it not have dawned on them by now that maybe no-one's listening? Since 99.99% of the things prayed for don't actually happen, the rest attributable to coincidence.

Has it been raining? I didn't notice.

Come on bish - If your boss doesn't give a fúck about the countless millions starving to death, or the similar number of kids dying of aids and easily preventable diseases (although to god, surely all diseases are easily preventable?) he's hardly going to spring into action cos Paddy McBogsavage's shpuds are having a hard time. Use your fúcking head..........Never mind!:D

I think is a marvellous idea, and when the country is arid and dying from drought could have another mass to make it rain again.

If there was ever an argument for god being a spiteful, malevolent cunt, this is it.
