    What do you reckon..will that loopy priest Fr Neil Horan make an appearance in the Olympics??

    I mean he's living in London so he must be tempted to pull off one of his madcap stunts.

    Maybe he'll make an appearance tomorow night and light the olympic flame:p

    I think the poor man is mentally ill to be honest so hopefully he is taking his meds and in recovery.

    A priest running around in a skirt? That's the kind of thing you like looking at.

    And I'll bet you like that too. You're probably imagining what he'd look like without the skirt. You're sitting there, imagining that, with a big smile on your face. Ya dirty fecker!

    Sure it's no more peculiar than all that stuff we learned in the seminary, you know, Heaven and Hell and everlasting life and all that type of thing.

    He lives in London, but he seems to travel a lot. Saw him dancing at the top of Grafton street last year.

    My question is, where does he get the funding for all of this? He doesn't appear to actually do anything apart from his placarding and dancing. Are people actually giving him donations?

    I suspect he's high on the watch list for these Olympics anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if he's required to sign on at the local cop shop and is banned from entering a cordon around parts of the city.

    He should be locked up in reality for his own safety.

    A laicized priest remains a priest. If he has been laicized against his wishes it is likely that his bishop or order will forbid him from saying Mass but if he goes ahead anyway it will be seen as illicit but valid. Unlikely to be an issue as last time I heard he was waiting for the rapture.

    If you think about it he could be quite the money earner at a tourist attraction.
    Put him in front of the blarney stone doing a jig & watch the moolah roll in.
    The Americans would eat that **** up. They love tacky things & stereotypes so therefore they would love him.
