I would have been an International Gigolo, but the Corps of International Gigolos wasn't recruiting that week. I just had to grin and bear it, but such is life.

Jeez this priest sounds ancient, he might actually croak it on the radio.

SEPT 23 1989

start bugging the confessionals everywhere else seems to be

Senile old man being used by media to stir a shït storm

Slow day for Joe that he's giving these idiots airtime

Sittingpretty

This is desperate

"Father, it's been six months since my last confession. My confession is ... I stole your car father"

Do 5 year olds go to confession?

I thought it was 7 or 8 minimum..........but this is the alternative world of LL.:rolleyes:

Hang on, if the priest can turn the wine into blood surely he can turn the poison into something innocuous!

Just switched on, is that Gerry Thornley debating with the priest?

scargill

this priest is nuts - why is anyone listening to him?

withless

How dare a man talk to a priest like that!

2smiggy

surely if he is poisoned , they will find out that the wine was poisoned ?

Sittingpretty

This is the very reason organised religion has no place in civilised society.

feel sorry for the aul lad he was been brainwashed from a young age

joe6pack

Jezz I thought he croaked it there for a second

the_monkey

ridiculous, still in 2014 the RCC are excusing all the abuse.

I've tasted that stuff,........personally I'd turn it into the sink........awful ****!

scargill

anyway - does the jebus magic not turn the poisoned wine into blood?

pc7

This feels like elder abuse, the priest doesn't seem up to this discussion

Absolutely. He sounds about 300 years old.

This poison wine thing is another plug for Sky. Its a disgrace.

Dan Jaman

"Drinking poisoned wine."
Hang on - is this an ecclesiatical version of Schrodinger's Cat?

2smiggy

if the priests start telling the cops everything they hear in confession , then no one will tell them anything again, making all this argument null and void

feel sorry for the old priest

padd b1975

That loon sounds like one of those thanks whoring atheists on day release from After Hours.

Sittingpretty

Almost ten minutes now devoted to theoretical incidents in confession.

CountyHurler

The confession is between the sinner and God. So it's up to God to tell the Gardaí.. Sure if he was really God he'd hardly stand over child abuse, would he.. ?

pc7

He gets that from the magic spagetti monster in the sky! ffs

the_monkey

HE has the power to forgive sins .... what ???


I mean he may as well come on and say he can fly ffs ..

scargill

As mad as all this is, the whole argument is a moot point - How many child abusers walk into confession to confess their sins anyway?

withless

We should just have church law from now on. No more problems.

the_monkey

Lads who would win - Darth Vader or Darth Maul ??

SEPT 23 1989

what does the young aggressive bloke expect the priest to say?

mrsdewinter

Wait. I don't think that's what he meant by the 'magic wand'...

scargill

can we not get the guards to move all their recording equipment into confession boxes?

Very few I should imagine. I doubt your average paedophile has the capacity for a moral desire to be forgiven.

Roger_007

If a guy tells his lawyer that he is guilty of raping a child, does the lawyer have to tell the authorities?............

Nugent is a full-time troll.

He spends his time at TCD and elsewhere shouting at people.

A bit of a loser. Can't just live and let live.

Remember hearing he was moaning about Jewish circumcisions at TCD.:eek:

I think it's very unfair to put this old man on and allow everybody to throw sponges at him.. He's just reciting what he's been told by the church for years. This "hero of the people" on the other line is just enjoying being on the moral high ground..

pc7

So is he saying this has happened and he has done nothing about it?

The priest may not even know who the person is..........does he ask for their name and address?

We'll get the Minister For Justice to look in to that one..

SEPT 23 1989

he is really starting to annoy me now:mad:

pc7

But sure if he is not telling the truth he can just go to confession, simples!
