Moncrieff's Movie & Booze Slot on Good Friday

Shiraz 4.99 · 10-02-2015 02:57PM #1

I know it's his regular slot every Friday but do you not feel it's a little audacious & provocative to be pushing ahead with it this one weekend of the year.
It really is a slap with a wet fish to any observant Catholic turning the dial that day.
I believe these more elderly members of our society should be allowed see out their latter years without such abuses of their beliefs.

I'd invite you to agree with me on this.

You can stick your invite up your hole, thank you very much.

No because I'm not a delicate little snowflake whose sensibilities crumble when somebody does something I don't like or agree with.

OP will you change your name for good Friday or just refrain from posting on the day?

Dravokivich · 10-02-2015 03:01PM

It should be down to choice. The Catholics should be allowed to sin. Sure they can repent in any ways with a few Hail Marys and a go of the old How's yer Our Fathers.

There's more drinking goes on on Good Friday than on just about any other day of the year, I'll bet. Especially amongst Catholics.

catallus · 10-02-2015 03:02PM

Maybe we can have Paulo on twice?

But you're right, OP. It's a horrendous capitulation to the forces of nescience! Down with this sort of thing.

I can see if Leo gets his way I'll be Shiraz 9.00 anyway, probably for the best.

Wonder would he do it if it was against the Islamic faith ??

Not that I personally bothered either way.

My granny told me to tell you to cop yourself on.

But on the bright side Catholics are supposed to eat fish on Good Friday. So I say take the slap on the chin and then lay it on a tray, bit of olive oil and throw in the oven for 15 mins.

Surely they are listening to Rónán and Ray and his sanctimonious claptrap? Or local radio?

I'll see your troll, and raise you all elderly observant Catholics should be bate around the place with pickaxe-handles twice-daily, so they can be sure to have plenty suffering and penance done here on Earth, to improve their chances of Eternal Bliss and possibly even canonisation.

whilst walking up Croagh Patrick barefoot. If they're too old to climb the mountain they can go to Lough Derg

Try a Civilised Jurisdiction, like Uganda. :pac:

People doing non-Catholic things isn't an insult to Catholicism.

Catholics thinking they can force everyone to sit doing nothing waiting for Catholics to have their holiday is disgusting though.

Isn't Good Friday in April this year?

Speaking as a priest, with a direct link to the man upstairs , our official line on this is 'few naggins be grand'.

Amen.

Exactly. All this Letter-of-the-Law crap is for Lutherans. :cool:

Superman == Alien. God == sort-of-Alien. Therefore, Superman == sort-of-God. See? Simple. And I didn't even go to that Pod-Person incubation unit in Maynooth!

catallus · 10-02-2015 04:06PM

And Gene Hackman's Luther is the Devil, right?

So simple!

But what about Otis?

Otis has to do with the Caananite mythology of Attar. It gets a bit muddy at that point.

You are obviously a learned philosopher! We must speak further of this!

I can't drink then, that's when my abortion is scheduled.

MsBubbles · 10-02-2015 04:14PM

bodice_ripper Is that before or after the same sex wedding ?

Especially if they forgot to stock up the day before

And where does it say in the bible that you can't drink on good friday anyway?

The people who would get upset over that stuff aren't observing anything other than the Intoxicating Liquor Act of 1927... and that was just something we copied from the brits.
