I'm sorry to hear of your dad's experiences. I don't doubt there are good priests and clergy- and the altar boy jokes on that page aren't funny tbh, much prefer the random "mass as a music festival" ones. To my mind the church did far more harm than good and it still has far too much power in this country. Which is why it's no harm it's getting a slagging.

Also those people you mention would be good people regardless of their faith. Having religion doesn't make you a good person.

But my point is having religion does not necessarily make you a bad person either. I just think its poor form to slag off people's beliefs as some people take it very seriously. If people start doing something similar to another religion, there would be fisticuffs.

The Church as a whole did a lot of harm and had too much power and I would have no problem in telling people that.

Some of the jokes are funny(Judas was the best one) when you read them first, but others are just gutter crap!

Its always wise not to get embroiled in topics such as religion, sex or politics as people hold such diverse views and very easy to insult people.

This is the response of Fr Martin Bennett to the Facebook page Mass event set up recently I was very sad to see some of the young people i hold dear to me have actually joined in on this I stated before that I find it a very offensive page & what has happened to political correctness I thought we are supposed to respect others believes & way of life ? In my own humble opinion I'd never make fun of anyone for either their beliefs or life choices so why is it ok to make fun and be so blasphemous to Christianity I'm deeply saddened by this and OK it's ok to have a sense of humour but some of the things on there are nothing short of diabolical it's sad time's I mean is there not enough hatred in the world already towards Christianity countless amount of people have been killed & maimed because of their beliefs does anyone really know who it is that started this online abuse?

My dad grew up in an Irish industrial school in the 1940's. He could tell you stories that woukd make the hair in your head stand. He could tell you stories of people, so evil, that no one, let alone an orphan child should experience.

But he coukd tell you of fantastic people, who worked tirelessly every day to better the lives of those kids. Who dedicated their lives to their God and their beliefs.

And in the memores of a now 75 year old man, good triumphs over evil, and the good stories generate happy memories.

Please don't disrespect the beliefs of those people. They saved a lot of lives.

Apologies to all for taking the thread off topic- life isn't always as simple as it seems though.

Those great people could do great work anyway. Some fake stories in a book are hardly needed to make them be nice to people.

It's about respecting views of others I suppose.

I would not run down something down that someone else believed in.

Its hardly the end of humanity, but if you were not well up on the ways of Facebook and Social Media, you would think it was an awful thing altogehter.

My Dad says computers should be burned...he blames that internet yoke on everything.......

Absolutely. Often the ones making anti Catholic remarks would be the first to get irate about that. Why is it ok to demean one group and not another?

It's ''diabolical'', eh? Very apt

True but it's more powerful to have people doing good things en masse such as foreign aid work or respite places for people with disabilities and the elderly . They also do some of the work most people don't want to do.An example of the members of the organisation helping people is the Vatican's escape network for persecuted Jews during WWII.

I see no members of other religions being collectively vilified like the members of the RC Church are. It just wouldn't be PC.

All religions are as stupid as each other and as open to ridicule imo.

No other religion has had such a stranglehold on this country and fight tooth and nail to maintain it . Of course the catholic church is going to have more focus on it here. Just a pity it took so long for us to become enlightened here and that its still running so slowly.

We can all see beyond our own shores and get some perspective surely. I can understand people being bitterly anti church if they have been abused by a priest or went to a bad industrial school.

You dont have to have suffered directly at the hands of the church to not want them to have any part in the running of the country or anything outside of the churches own work that people voluntarily engage in (and I dont consider sending your kids to the only viable option, school wise, as voluntarily engaging with the church and wanting them to educate your kids)

Hey, you know what would be brilliant? If everyone could get past this religion /anti religion thing, and get back to the 'Dumb / Great Facebook Status" thread that used to be here....

It's not about wanting secular education though. I want the same. I don't get vitriolic about it.

The main obstacle seems to be the fact that his nephew's a married man.

That gives the "I swear in my mother" a new whole meaning too.

She shared more than that by the look of it.

I have a friend who changes her profile picture every day, sometimes twice.

Every hour, she puts up a selfie. She is a nice person but I counted the amount of selfies that she put up today and it's at eight already! I don't know who is the worser eegit, her for over sharing or me for actually counting them

My sister recently had a child is also getting married next month, a million pics of the child and a million updates and countdowns about the wedding, it makes me so mad at times! She's grand in reality, I did say it to her before about her over use of fb, it wasn't received that warmly so now I have to bite my tongue and just scroll past everything she posts and never like any of it.

Plus his mas sitting on the wall watching him like a halk. Come halloween he'll be an estate veteran and filling it up with robbed tyres for the bonfire. Brings a tear to my eye. They grow up so far. Hahaha
