    Still can't figure out why the mother of god/himself chose to appear in some rain sodden field out of all the places in the universe.

    I get off from work early on Fridays and then usually head to the gym. I'll probably meet friends for dinner later. Maybe a few drinks outside if it's still nice.

    Wasn't there a case in Cork years a go where some locals said they saw statues moving and the world's media descended on the county.

    I'd say that was mortifying.

    The only way this could be more Fr Ted. Is if the 1994 Castletown Donkey Derby was happening in the background

    These politicians are all in it for themselves.

    You can be assured Varadkar will keep that holy water as his own personal stache to dip into should he find himself in any future adverse scenarios involving vampires.

    They didn't. It was the gable end of a church. Allegedly.

    The moving statues was a nationwide phenomenon.
    Quite bizzare. People would hold vigils at grottos around the country and swear blind they saw herself moving.

    There is a new theory that it might not have actually happened after all. Totally unsubstantiated of course.

    This coming on the coat tails of the Hail Mary being Ireland's favourite prayer at the Ploughing, Fr Ted was art imitating life.

    There's a not-so-new theory that it was a projected image from a magic lantern. Mary was unusually quiet and static during her trip Mayo.

    Interestingly, one of the prohibitions in Abrahamic religions is the worshipping of idols.

    Inasmuch as I despise many aspects of Islam, at least they don't go worshipping burnt pieces of toast or tree stumps with supposed images of holy people.

    Some of the cretins on here (not just this thread) would give the DUP a run for their money with the sectarian crap. But sure I suppose it can't be sectarian when it's only Catholics are on the end of it.

    Sometimes it's as if I've logged on to some sevco supporters forum.

    If you think they're all as nonsensical as each other, how are you being sectarian?
