Taytoland wrote: » How is it bigotry when it's just factual. The Catholic Church in Ireland has raped and abused children in droves, it's just a fact. It's been covered up for decades and still covered up to this day. Priests turning a blind eye to it or just intentionally covering it up from getting into the mainstream. If you want to defend the Catholic Church, then fine but don't dispute the facts.

Your views aren't dissimilar to the church in terms of actual stances. I'm guessing you hold the same views on the lgbt community for example. I hold the view that the church has done untold damage to the country and think we're slowly moving towards a full separation including that of schools. Throughout the thread, I've expressed my absolute disgust for the church and it's behaviour, I favour protesting his visit. Your motivation seems to be far more petty and sectarian. (eg your earlier praise for Paisley)

It should be no problem to the likes of yourself and the millions who don't want it anywhere near their children's education to organise something similar in these much more prosperous times. Shouldn't it?

Pope's visit section added to News App. Nationwide episode just on was complete promotion of the trip and the church. Nobody interviewed whho is against the trip. Blanket coverage on the news portraying a highly excited and religious country.
