Self-inflicted genocide, and they are too dim to realize it.
Magdalene Laundries is an attack on Church that undiscerning people believe. Most news is propaganda, must people not too bright. Read sensational stories questioning every word, and ask yourself what is left out! 80% is simply not written, that’s the true part. You’ve heard of fake news, so why do you think what you are reading is real?
Voting for women to KILL THEIR CHILDREN!!! You are forever LOST, IRELAND.....just like the USA is doomed now.
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”
Yes, obviously Ireland moving away from the teaching of the Catholic Church is a great thing. Now they can kill some babies.
You have a point af-vet...but I am referring to the Roman Catholic church here,not the “One Holy and Catholic “ church. In the sense you use the word, I myself am Catholic, I belong to the universal church established by Jesus and the apostles. As for Protestants, you have a point about Birth control and the defection that is liberal theology. I have no doubt that led to the destruction of morals in Ireland. But it is a proven fact that the scandals of 1994-2004 led directly to the wholesale defection in Ireland and liberalizing of formerly strict laws against Divorce and Abortion.
It is not the teaching of the Catholic church I refer to, it is the denial of the=ose teachings in practice by church leaders, which led to the demoralization of Ireland.
So what did you do, other than write about it after it was over?
I have been an ardent pro life spokesman and activist all of my life, but my greater pro life action was to sire six children, which have already led to 15 grandchildren...
Good pastor, I think you are exactly right about this.
Fifty years ago, when Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae, he said that the splitting the procreative meaning off from intercourse, would lead to the destruction of souls, and of natural sex, and of natural marriage; and of families, nations, and civilizations. People said he was crazy.
Turns out he was pret'near the only one who wasn't.
The abandonment of Catholic teaching about the Sanctity of Sex in practice BY CATHOLICS has led to the demoralization of Ireland, and will lead to the destruction of the world.
i believe the Magdalene Laundries nuns were abusive to those girls.
Just the fact that they had to work for free to atone for some imaginary sin is ridiculous. Last time i looked kissing a boy is not a mortal sin. and I am pretty bright, I’ve been told.
Founded in the 1760's in Britain (before the beginning of the United States --- keep that in mind for culturally-relevant comparisons) they were essentially workhouses for women who were otherwise on the streets: orphans, wards of the court, beggars, street-walkers, delinquents, unwed pregnant girls who were turned out by their families. The intent was to provide a place for homeless destitute women to live and work and not be forced into living the short rough life of a Dickensian back-alley prostitute to die giving birth in the gutter.
They were run, not just by Catholic sisters, but by the Church of England, the Church of Ireland, the Presbyterian Church, the Salvation Army, and other religious and reform-minded groups, and were praised by the social-reformers of the time.
The first one in Ireland was a Church of Ireland run institution, and accepted only Protestant women, founded in 1765 by Lady Arabella Denny.
Any "workhouse" or "poorhouse" or "industrial school" setting in the 18th - early 20th century would seem severe to us. (Frankly, even a "normal" boarding school would shock us.) You would not choose to live in such a place, and neither would I. How bad were they? The key un-asked question is, "Compared to what?"
The alternatives at the time were prisons which featured little food and lots of physical restraint and brutality, or deportation (genteelly called "transportation") to British colonial holdings in the Caribbean or Australia, where debtors and "criminals" (including beggars and petty thieves) worked as contract slaves.
The Magdalene institutions sponsored by the various churches were considered humane, as the women were fed, clothed and housed decently, often taught literacy and industrial skills as well, and they were protected from constant predation by criminals in the streets.
You might want to reference the McAleese report I referenced, which investigated mid-20th century conditions via first-hand testimony.
Amen and amen.
Once upon a time, it was a special and honorable thing to be a woman.
The “consequence free” view of sex, which has saturated modern society, has destroyed that.
Sex is SUPPOSED to have consequences (babies). That’s what makes it so special and powerful.
Perhaps it’s not so much that we’re “playing god” as that we’re failing to play human.
I feel sick over it.
So do I. If the MSM investigated leftwingers as thoroughly as they did the Roman Catholic Church on issues of abuse, the left would be out of power for 100 years.
I love the UCD (University College Dublin) Choral Scholars´ gloriously-voiced videos on YouTube. I learned they (or the constituency where they vote) went overwhelmingly Pro Culture of Death.
I find I can´t listen to them anymore without crying.
But even a not-particularly-religious dumb human often has the innate sense that life is a good thing, and killing your kids is nothing to celebrate, it's being lower than human, even lower than a beast.
