Many of these houses are old period houses and quiet honestly the interior deserves to look nice and in keeping with the house .Many irish people like to have a nice home and I don't see why our priests should be subjected to living in damp, smelly,out of date holes.

Honest that you hung around the Churches until you got your last few envelopes from local, kind Parishioners and that the local clergy ensured you were well rewarded by their support of your visit.

I'm certain you never have to borrow for a car, holidays, house renovations, like Diocesan Priests do.I've witnessed all of this. You have shown yourself a true hypicrite. My world is not the smug, carefree, comfortable one you think it may be. Far from it. Again, look a little closer to home and you'll find you're not on the breadline with the assets which I'm sure your Order shares with you to give you all that you require without once having to pay across the food tills at supermarkets, whuch is where I meet many of my parishioners.

I've obviously touched a nerve Father in speaking as I find. I don't do the Mission appeals anymore, thank God. Meath was the worst putting on a total banquet - no expense spared plus Armagh and then Dublin and Killala. The extravagance was an affront to Priesthood and Christianity. I'm sorry my words seem harsh and brutally honest. All I will say is shame on you priests and even more shame on your Bishops. I know it hurts but honesty is the best way.
