    They are one of the richest organisations in the world. Let headquarters pay their staff.

    Can't believe people give them money tbh.

    Seems like this is a problem for the franchise to deal with.

    Those missile launching sites cost a fair bit even just to maintain, there's always something

    Are you a priest or is this a bus stop scenario? I've stood with Nuns.

    Would be a shame to see the Church decline any further. Like it or not, it's part of our culture and heritage.
    That's one of the most rediculous excuses that's regularly trotted when people are averse to change. "Oh but it's our heritage, our culture". And once upon a time, we had animal hides for clothing, slept in caves, captured fire from lightening cos we couldn't make it. We ate other humans, slept with relatives. We thought the Earth was flat. We thought we could identify witches by seeing if they couldn't be drowned. We discriminated against black people, gay people, people with disabilities.
    At some point in time all these archaic "norms" became abnormal. Thankfully.
    Finally the worship of imaginary creatures is beginning to also become abnormal. Slowly, but all good things take time.

    Funnily enough with the church on decline in Ireland,etc.
    My local parish decided to take of four Spanish nun's in the last year. I think it's meant to get people interested in the church again.

    In law it's referred to as "The pikey defence".
    It's also known colloquially as "a load of auld bollox"

    nice to know the tax paying public who choose not to attend are getting it the back door to the tune of 27K

    I'm not an animal-lover (well...some are tasty) but I put up with dog, cat and donkey sanctuaries all over the country getting their tax relief too.

    What are 'holy places'? That's one hell of a tax refund. If someone leaves them a gift; house for example, do they include that in their accounts?
    I'd say the 'holy place' in this instance is actually on the list twice. Firstly as 'holy places' (both income and expenditure = €1600), and secondly as 'St Fanahan's Well' (also with both income and expenditure = €1600).

    The sooner the RCC disappears the better so Islam can be seen as a proper mainstream option here.

    Islam will save Europe and it's people

    Ah, nuns in the Jack's offering to wash your hands and the likes. Makes sense, I presume they're not very busy on a Saturday night.

    What total and utter rubbish IMHO but I guess it is subjective. I think you'll find that most people would disagree with you on the church being a 'positive influence' in Ireland.

    Ah because you saw a Monty Python sketch about the Spanish Inquisition you're an expert on it?

    Where did I say it was a 'positive influence' anywhere in my post, you dolt?

    Surely god won't see them short? Maybe he could convert mass leaflets into cash or old bottle tops into 2 euro coins? How about he converts water into Chateau Petrus 1961 for them to flog? If god comes up short they could sell a few biliion euros worth of church property, shut up shop and retire? There are plenty of options.

    There is no will to have religion in Ireland in the coming generations. This is evident now with the rapid decline of the RCC.

    of course some folk will become scientologists, but I think we have no need to worry that it will ever be large in numbers.
    Ireland is going secular. Hooray.
