    A lot of bad Catholics. A lot of good Catholics. A lot of bad priests. A lot of good priests. A lot of bad non-Catholics. A lot of good non-Catholics. A lot of bad things. A lot of good things. A lot of bad. A lot of good. Bad. Good. Bad. Good. Bad. Good. Nothing has anything to do with anything.

    You could substitute full house for sell out if you felt up to it! Although judging by your post I'd say you would probably need a lie down afterwards.

    You lack fundamental arguing skills.

    'For evil to triumph good men must do nothing" Not word for word E Burkes quote but I'm sure you get the gist.

    Argument? You asked a question I answered. It's my opinion and considering the empty pews I would suggest many feel the same.

    So you really do think Chelsea fans should boycott en masse the stadium. Using your logic that is.

    Who's argueing? Most Catholics are glad to see the Pope coming to Ireland and most non Catholics don't mind one way or the other.

    Nah, that was a really stupid point to make. Some certain communities/races have engaged in similar stuff in the past and hidden it but we'd hardly go shunning an entire races now, would we?

    Why does the good they do never get talked about.

    Honestly, because their control of the moral compass of this country was repressive, full of hypocrisy and cast a long shadow on this country. I'm 100% glad to see their influence wane in this country and state becoming more and more secular with each passing generation.

    That said, I'll still support people's freedom of expression of belief and people's right to go and see the Pope when he visits even though I rather pour lemon juice in my eyes than be there.

    Maybe they have, but this thread is about a lad who is head of an organisation that engaged in the abuse of children and cover up.

    Aren't they the largest charitable organisation in the world.

    The majority of us do nothing to help people. Absolutely nothing.

    Their agenda is to be like Christ, help the less fortunate.

    Everyone is so goddamn touchy about something that happened like 50 years ago.

    What about the US government, they enslaved black people and oppressed them 50 years ago too.

    Despite the fact that the majority of you don't like Donald Trump because you're all boring left wingers, would that mean that you would never go to see a president? Like Barrack Obama, he's black....

    50 years ago? I cant believe anybody could be so ignorant on the subject and have such strong opinions.

    Because they facilitated child abuse on a massive scale? Is that not enough reason?
