    If only Church was some rich organization with properties and funds all over the world... Then they wouldn't need to rely on donations....

    An optional church tax on the faithful like in other countries would sort out their mess, it'll expel the fake Catholics. Only thing is there would be less people than ever attending their mass as money talks!

    Well there's plenty money and wealth in the Vactican so that should take care of that.

    Feel sorry for the many good priests that are out there though who believe in their calling and want to do right by their parish.

    Always felt it unfair to label every priest as scum or dodge.

    Sorry, don't agree with this.

    I have no sympathy for anything church related. They have sinned too much to get any sympathy any more.

    As for the above statement, I feel sorry for 'good' priests, but only because they continue to believe in an imaginary man who is watching over them and to whom they must dedicate their entire life. Such a waste.

    If that's reffered to me.
    They come out every year. They are either with the news letter in the church or the person doing the stations gives them to you.(My parents generally get them).

    What a shame.

    That's what happens when you commit terrible crimes, cover them up, and expect the sheep to let you away with it.

    Thankfully, Ireland is finally waking up to the Catholic Church.

    Yes thankfully, unfortunately it seems to be cosying up to a worse religious regime.

    In my children's lifetime I hope there is no religion in Ireland or the civilized world.

    Indoctrination of an ideolgy through fear is not something the world today should condone or celebrate.

    The end is nigh for the Catholic Church in Ireland at least just a pity I probably won't get to see it.

    RCC will end.
    Unfortunately your hope that there will be no religion in Ireland or the civilized world is a false one.

    The end of Catholicism I'll take so.

    Divorce, gay marriage, abortion. The church's last stand in Ireland is their control over state schools. Once that is given back to the state the decline will be rapid.

    Interesting that Mitchelstown parish gave Cobh 4k for organ repairs. Didnt think they would support other parishes like that.

    Time for the church to downsize. There are still going to be those who attend mass and give financial support but with faith in decline and a lack of priests maybe it's time to sell church land and consolidate. Do we really need a church in every village?

    I'd assume they have money sorting machines and submit coins in logical amounts to the bank.

    Why "An optional church tax" , it should be compulsory for all their followers. If you follow that religion, you pay your religious tax to help support your religion. Just like in Germany and other countries and then priests wouldn't have to beg for money.

    our local priest, in the job about 3 years, has managed to alienate a lot of folks, in what was already a small parish. in the last few weeks, he has managed to bring down 2 parish councils (our parish and the next one over) with his sheer pigheadedness. the bishop has backed him, (probably as its so hard to get a parish priest) but you can be sure that what ever donation they were getting before, will be way down in the future.

    also, if they are stuck for money, they can sell a few of the priest houses, as there aint nobody living in them anyway...

    Imagine if we started treating every high level criminal this way. The world would be so much better
