    Did you even read the article?
    “I’m not sure how this story has got legs as I don’t know much about it other than the fact that the cinema itself isn’t managed by ourselves or the Church and that the management took a decision not to show it,” he told independent.ie.

    Even the Independent acknowledges this in the headline and article.

    Are you worse than the Independent? :pac:

    It's a bit much for me, Father. "Feck this" and "Feck that", "You big bastard." Oh, Dreadful Language. "You big hairy arse." "You big Fecker." Fierce Stuff! And of course the F-word father, the bad F-word. Worse then Feck. You know the one I mean. "F you" "F your effing wife" I don't know why they have to use language like that. "I'll stick this effing pitchfork up your hole" That was another one. "Bastard this" and "Bastard that", "You Bastard" "You Fecker" "You bollocks! Get your bollocks out of my face." "Ride me sideways" was another one.

    Ah in fairness it's extra marital sex and S&M
    I can see why they wouldn't show it. And I'm no fan of the church

    They should show Cinema Paradiso instead.

    The priest himself may not be directly responsible for the movie not being shown but what he represents is.

    The woman who objected is a bit of a local legend. She stood for the Christian Solidarity Party in a GE one year and she got about 1 vote. She used to be wheeled out on local radio for a bit of controversy now and again but too many people breaking their radios in disbelief at her views probably affected advertising, she's never on now. It's a bit of a pity, entertaining in small doses and a healthy reminder that people with these 'values' still exist.

    If he was dictating to his parishioners they shouldnt watch it at all fair enough ridicule away but he's allowed decide what films the church does and doesn't screen on its own movie night.

    In all fairness, Donegal is the dogging capital of Europe. You can catch mass, watch the northern lights and looks at another man ****ing your wife all in the same evening.
    50 Shades is a movie to send the kids to while you're out and about.

    It's their cinema, they get to choose what does and doesn't play there and why. Non story of the day.

    Glazers Out!

    I'm really not sure about this film,

    Women will read the f*ck out of porn, but very few will watch it. (In my experience)

    Have no interest in seeing it myself. Looking forward to Superman vs Barman however.

    lol, interview with the woman against porn on Today FM.

    Like a time warp back to the 80's. Felt sorry for the lady. Some serious catholic hang ups on display.

    Sure we all have mickys or fuu fuu's, get over it already.

    Classic no win story for the church, this one.

    "There were blushes all round in Donegal today when it was disclosed that raunchy sex-film 'Fifty Shades Of Grey' was being shown in a church- owned public hall. Red faced curate Father Francis Bradley admitted he hadn't seen the film and that even if he had, he didn't want to finish up being compared to Bishop Brennan in that episode of Fr. Ted and start banning it"
