Is it as disgraceful as the catholic church's major cover up of child sex abuse though?

Depends if the BBC show it...Sinn Fein are too busy speaking for the IRA to have time to have an opinion whether this is disgraceful.

Do you have a review of the movie that doesn't include someone who represents a cult who likes to move around pedophiles to maximize damage and get the kids to swear that they'll tell no-one?

The priest in the OP video was busy, over the course of a 2 minute clip he was part priest, part TV critic, part psychologist.

Sounds like a sitcom made with a chip on one's shoulder.

Hardly surprising given that a lot of comedy (and a lot of the best comedy) is best described as 'criticism masked as entertainment'.

Fred Savage? I love The Wonder Years. Can't ABC just show repeats of that instead? I mean don't get me wrong I love bashing religion as much as the next guy especially Catholics but that Winnie Cooper is just such a fox, those sexy tanned legs brrrrrrrrrrawr.

That's like blaming the GAA for a few players having a mass brawl

Some people dont like generic US sitcom. Not the first, not the last.

Im waiting for a certain comment to come up in this thread though.

Something about 'blasting'? We're not allowed any more.

If the GAA players were attacking people and the management tried to cover it up by sending players to other teams then sure.

Looks Sh*te.

Doubt it will even run a full season.

Much more looking forward to the show 'Lucifer' which is pissing off evangelical moms.

You shouldn't bash anybody Darky, especially your own people. You can criticise and mock the religious but don't cross over the line and become a hate monger.

My father was an alter boy in the late 60s and a few old school friends were alter servers as youngsters and never encountered any paedophile priests.

There is no way you can say that for sure.

I've never met a person I was aware is a pedophile but it is likely I've met several.

I was one too for a year, I found it really boring but the priests were decent and always gave us a few quid each week. The Canon however had a real short fuse, you would be terrified serving with him in case you made a mistake.

That's the whole point of the thread. Sometimes I fell left out because I've nothing to be offended about.

That's over the course of nine and a half years. Fairly moderate really.

That's why you failed Advanced Ecumenism in Maynooth, Darky. You were meant to be perving the boys not the girls.
And you were so promising at robbing the collection baskets to pay for drink.

Doesn't look great so I probably won't be watching but catholic's taking offence to it is a bit cringe worthy, just get over yourselves, it's a comedy show on ABC ffs!

I was making a joke as he had commented that he had nothing to be offended by and I tried to offend him but that is Roman Catholic humour

Well, I've tried - Lord knows, I've tried - but I keep seeing the artisitc motives behind the damn things. I know I'm not supposed to. I know I'm supposed to be outraged and not pay the slightest bit of concern to the storyline or the acting or whatever, but I just can't stop myself.

Can you give me some advice?

If you're catholic and pretending to be offended by the airing of this show I think you need to go find a nice hobby to pass the time because all this keyboard fighting is probably stressing you out

If that's Roman Catholic humour thank Christ I'm an atheist.
