Ireland`s newspapers said Sunday that the country had dramatically changed and confirmed its emergence from the shadow of the traditionally powerful Catholic Church by voting in favour of gay marriage.
Tabloids and broadsheets alike carried colourful pictures of partying "Yes" supporters cheering the landslide referendum result Saturday as they reflected on what the decision meant for Ireland.
The Sunday Independent, Ireland`s biggest-selling newspaper, said the vote was truly "historic".
"A new beginning" said its front page, which carried a picture of a lesbian couple who plan to marry as others in the background jumped in the air waving the rainbow flag.
"On a fine day in May 2015 this country became a much more open, inclusive and modern society. With the mark of a ballot paper, hundreds of thousands of citizens voted by a large majority to leave behind those grey decades of a less tolerant Ireland," the broadsheet`s editorial said.
"Ireland has changed, changed utterly... in the voice of its young people, who have declared as one that nothing will ever be the same again."
The Irish Sun on Sunday`s front page read "Pride", with a picture of cheering Yes supporters.
"Ireland officially emerged from the shadow of the Catholic Church yesterday to show its love and respect to people who have suffered here for centuries," it said.The Sunday World, Ireland`s most-read tabloid, had jubilant drag queen Panti Bliss, a key figure in the "Yes" campaign, on its front page which read "Táll you need is love" -- tá meaning yes in Irish.

Too many successful potato harvesting ventures lead to this I guess.
Sodom seems to be the capital of everywhere these days. Sigh.
Making sin legal doesn’t make it right.
They WILL be judged.
And when the Muslims take over and impose Sharia law on countries like this, Ireland will be depopulated again.
What Cromwell’s genocide and mass deportations, 300 years of the Protestant Ascendancy, and the potato famine couldn’t accomplish, liberalism has in less than 50 years: destruction of the Catholic faith of most Irishmen.

Of course, they have not “emerged” but devolved further into sin. They have not rejected the Catholic Church, but the God who bought them and paid the price for all our sins.
The prime minister has said thlaw will force Catholic schools to add homosexuality to their curriculum.
“Ireland officially emerged from the shadow of the Catholic Church yesterday...”
So, what protestant England could not do for 386 years, the homos did in just one generation.
There is no new thing under the sun.
Once these damn fool Irish fairies realize that hundreds of Muslims are applauding a definition of marriage as anything other than between ONE man and ONE woman, it will be too late. By then they will have succeeded in getting their hareems legalized and will be out breeding the Irish. And once their numbers reach a critical mass, they will be tossing fairies from the blarney stone. Pay back is a *itch.
So this means they are going to outlaw Islam in Iceland, right?
Im mean, arent the two pretty much incompatible?
“Of course, they have not “emerged” but devolved further into sin.”
This means nothing even close to that... It only means that marketing and money can sway the vote. No different than the sheepel in this country falling for the democrat lies...
Northern Ireland is not included in this ,YET. A separate referendum would be necessary. Pray for them.

I would agree with you except to vote "yes" in this matter is to cooperate in evil. And those who voted were under compulsion to inform their consciences prior to voting. So, in a very real sense, they did devolve and cooperate in sin.
Think of it as devolution in action.
I will, out of respect, refrain from the comment that went through my head at first.
A friend of mine lives in Ireland. The Catholic church (by this I mean the local priests) was for this by a large margin.
