It is their personal belief that makes them better people to want to help others.

It's not altruism if you're expecting an eternal reward out of it.

And belief makes one a better person? Really??

The F*ck the pope attitude from some on this forum is surprising.

Is it?

It's definitely a generational thing. I don't know anyone apart from the elderly at work (50+) or friends parents/grandparents who have positive feelings towards the church.

Have you been living under some sort of rock ? hating anyone and anything catholic is seen as very fashionable and trendy, then again so are neck beards, the Kardashians, and being fat and wearing luminous spandex while cycling.

That is not now, nor will it ever be fashionable and trendy.

Really, I know lots of young people in Ireland & were as they certainly not church going or practicing Catholics, They don't have any bad feelings towards the church either way, it must be just in your close circle ?

A know/knew a few elderly people who actually hate the church, my own father being one.. It was their generation that had to live through the theocratic oppression of the 40s, 50s and 60s.

Catholic Orphanages?


I wonder what the infant mortality rate is there? Akin to the Mother and Baby homes no doubt

No US couple will pay top dollar for a sick baby I suppose...

Kind of in the minority, the rest were brainwashed and unable to think for themselves.

It's interesting how people would overlook or ignore things that were clearly wrong or would be seen as criminal misconduct in any other situation. It's a wonder how they got away with it for so long.

The same way they get away with it in a lot of Muslim countries today, impossible to brainwash everybody, but you get the ones that you have brainwashed to keep down the rest.

pretty sure I neither said that all old people love the church, or all young people hate the church.

I said that I didn't know any young people who had positive feelings towards the church. and I think that's a fairly typical experience.

Maybe the pope can organise a cover up of it.
