Moral authority vs baby

VinLieger · 21-06-2018 11:06AM

I dont know how how the parents didnt take immediate action, they need to get their priorities examined

Only worry would be if ya hit the prick he'd drop the baby. Dunno if I'd have the restraint.

The restraint of the parents surprises me. I'm not going to say that I'd have laid the guy flat on his arse, but I definitely would have been in there faster and more aggressively.

Uh...hello? Is that 1956? Yeah, I think I have something here you've lost..

There is nothing modern or progressive about new mammies wallowing in weight gain. They should lead by example in the fight against obesity. By getting back into shape quicker they are more likely to feel great about themselves again which is only good for the child.

whatever

I was more commenting on your entirely off topic observation from a video where a priest smacks an infant...

Frankly weird to be honest.

I wonder was it deliberate...

but that would be considered trolling wouldn't it?

iamwhoiam · 21-06-2018 11:12AM

I am actually more shocked at the parents in that vidoe who did nothing to grab the baby straight away and stood gawping for seconds before running out with him .They left a clearly terrified baby in a lunitics arms at risk of another clatte
But in fairness they were not expecting it so maybe not on high alert

I felt there would be enough comments on the reprehensible actions of the priest. I felt that the new mammy deserved to get some credit and not let the priest take from her achievements.

a characteristic of good trolling is subtelty

I'd say he's suffering from some form of dementia.

People who think the appropriate response is to deck him with a punch are probably more dangerous people to be wandering around in society than an old priest.

Their main priority was obviously to get the baby away from him safely and that's what they did.

After staring at him for a long few seconds ! It took the woman on the right of the video to first react and put a hand out . The woman holding the baby should have grabbed the child immediately in my opinion . The child was already showing signs of terror as the priest pullled him close and held his head . He already needed protection before he ever slapped him. But in fairness it took them all by surprise and they were simply not prepared

I know what you're saying but I think it would be different if you were actually there. He was erratic and better to be calm and take the baby away gently rather than end up in a tug of war while he was gripping onto the baby's head.

Ye the priest was acting unusual before hitting him but I doubt they were thinking he would unexpectedly assault him and I'd say for a few moments they were in disbelief.

Yes i understand what you are saying but the baby was in hysterics already and the man ( ? Dad ) actually grins at someone about it . The woman holding should have seen a red flag and hugged that baby long before the slap . They reacted very slowely to an assault on a baby. My tiger mother instict would have reacted much quicker I think. But that is not by any means laying blame on anyone but the priest

valoren · 21-06-2018 11:43AM

Remember those monks in the brown habits who would hit you with the ropes around their waists if you happened to just walk by or past them? This would have been during the 80's. I was about 6 or 7 at the time. I'm sure the whole idea of them intermittently lashing was a weird interpretation of how Jesus lashed out in the temple at the money lenders. I don't recall lending pocket money at usurious interest rates to my friends in the vicinity of God's house funnily enough. Interestingly, you don't really see them around today doing it and at the time I'm sure they didn't lash out at fully grown men. The prospect of getting a punch to the jaw being non-existent when you lash out at a child.

Priest: 1

Baby: 0

The priest has quick hands for a man his age, the baby didnt stand a chance, he learned a valuable lesson. Where was the outrage when mr miyagi got a few sly digs in on daniel san? Different times...

Isn't the oul boy just making his god happy. Suffer little children and all that.

I was thinking that myself, that has all the hallmarks of a very elderly man suffering dementia. Certiantly he should not be performing baptisms in that state.
It really says something about the unhealthy and near psychotic obsession with batin' the church some of the edgy athiest crowd have, that they consider atacking an elderly cunfused man the appropriate course of action.

No looks like the child was old enough to be 'making strange' with a new face and did not want to be handed off. I would say its a rather sad reflection that the old priest must have grown in an home where casual violence was the expected response to a crying child. It does not excuse how he reacts at all to the crying and if he is not suffering from mental degeneration should have learned that that behavior is totaly unacceptable.

Not so I know a number of parents who in those days, would have hit back irrespective of the offender. It was one of the advantages of the Maggie handbag:D for ladies

How often does a legit reason to deck a priest come along?

Gotta grab these opportunities with at least one hand.

Yes . " making strange" is a fear or terror of a stranger . The child was clearly distressed and no way would I have left one of mine in that state in the first place

Another violent baptism

Saw another one ages ago with violent priest, where the parents just accepted it, haven't managed to dig it out yet though.

_Kaiser_ · 21-06-2018 12:29PM

Priest should be up on charges and under investigation by his own lot.

Neither of which will happen of course! Good Catholic Ireland is still alive and well in many parts of this country.

Poor child! Not easy to watch that.

ETA: Incident occurred in France.. my bad! Point still stands though.
