    I apologise unreservedly for calling you a big old legendary Troll.
    Im so very very sorry.

    Now will you have the manners and be Christian enough to answer Ghost Busters question.
    Let me paraphrase it:
    The Pope , Bishops, assorted Clergy and religious institutions have been proven beyond a shadow of doubt to be hurtful to catholic children.
    You have stated over and over that innocent little catholic children need protecting from those who hurt them.
    Wouldnt it be safer for non catholics to run schools.
    Discuss....

    That falls a long way short of an apology. I did not describe you or anyone else as a "troll". Nor did I abuse or insult anyone. Nor did I use vulgar language. I did have manners, you did not. And now you have the audacity to lecture me on manners.

    Anyone who does not want his child educated in a school controlled by the Catholic Church should not send his child to a school owned by the Catholic Church. It is not exactly rocket science.

    Lets start by removing all the teachers who receive their wages from the government and let the RCC source their own teachers.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Considering they "run" 99% of primary schools, that would be difficult.
    Easier to remove religion from state funded schools and if you want your child to be catholic, bring them to mass or Sunday school.

    Any person who regards the Catholic church as a "sick, twisted, disgusting cult is not a fit person to have power over Catholic.

    Firstly, it's not about having "power" over anyone.

    Secondly, the catholic church has contributed significantly to people having that view of it by acting as it has.

    Any person who has written letters telling others to SFTU about abuse is not a fit person to have power over ANYONE else, and yet those in the catholic church are expected to accept the power and word of the pope.

    How do you square those two opinons of yours ? Objecting to unfit people having power, but still being OK with Rat having power over people ?

    Another reason why Catholics must keep control over the education of their children. Juat imagine a bigot like this being in control over defenceless Catholic children. Just imagine his anti-Catholic children in the same classroom as the children of Catholics. Any person who regards the Catholic church as a "sick, twisted, disgusting cult is not a fit person to have power over Catholic.

    Fee Fi Fo Fum. I'm highly suspicious of these comments as they seem a bit over the top, I haven't met one person who defends the religion like this, Im not been smart you have every right to your opinion, But I think the majority of open minded educated people don't buy into this bull anymore. We know we can still be good people without it.

    Yeah, so open-minded their brains have fallen out.

    I'll pre-empt the reply:

    "That's anti-catholic. I wouldn't like a bigot like you in control of catholic children"

    Can you prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that you would not:-

    a) beat up defenceless Catholic children,
    b) insult defenceless Catholic children,
    c) encourage or allow anti-Catholic pupils to beat up Catholic children,
    d) encourage or permit anti-Catholic pupils to insult Catholic children,
    e) discriminate against Catholic children in disciplinary matters,
    f) encourage other teachers to do any of the above,
    g) cover-up other teachers bullying Catholic children?

    Why should any Catholic allow his child to be taught by a person like yourself? Or allow his children to share a classroom or playground with your (presumably) anti-Catholic children?

    You've insulted plenty of people along with their hypothetical children.

    If it's any consolation I don't think you're a troll.

    In fairness, I wouldn't say he's insulted anyone. Not much evidence there tbqh. If you're insulted by someone's opinion, that's your problem AFAIC.

    I hope you will appreciate that Catholics have a right to refuse to allow their children to share a classroom or playground with the children of a person who hates their church. Or to let such a person teach their dear little children.

    A rumpus about nothing - probably an attempt by members of the government to divert attention from broken promises about Roscommon hospital and lies told about a second referendum on the Treaty of Lisbon.


    That just sums you up - a rumpus about nothing?? Nice

    And as for your poor defenceless catholic parents and children - what about the rest of us who have little choice but to send our children to catholic schools when we abhor everything it stands for?
    By the way, your dear little children are encountering people every day who hate the RCC. If you want to know who to blame for that, it's the RCC.

    It is, but if the patient declares they're going to harm someone then I think they have to come forward. I could be wrong now.

    If I told you I wanted children out of the clutches of Catholics (with 1000 re-reg accounts) because I feared they were at a greater risk of being beaten and demeaned, would you be insulted?

    Crucanim is a troll, in any case - a parody of Catholics with a massive sense of self-entitlement playing the victimised minority.

    What "religious side"? Have you read any of my posts thus far before you lump me in a side?
