My goodness, well I never! The picture of his party is irrelevant to what you believe about him and is childish and nasty on your part.<br />Furthermore, do you really believe all these people who sign off as parish priests to be real? To the author on 14/11/15 at 19.40, if he wants, get in contact with me and I will teach this "priest" some basics of the church which I assume every priest knows. Or maybe this "priest" will teach us about what the immaculate conception means to him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-64247406528932449872015-11-17T11:01:23.271+00:002015-11-17T11:01:23.271+00:00Yes, A bishop celebrated his birthday with a hat, ...Yes, A bishop celebrated his birthday with a hat, a baloon and a cake - a bishop who teaches that baptised children get first place in his schools, a bishop who says condoms are evil, a bishop who says gay people are "disordered", a bishop who says a pregnant woman should die rather than have medical intervention etc.<br /><br />Maybe such a bishop should be holding up an air filled condom with a shull and cross bones on it?<br /><br />A man who has "harmless" birthday parties is not ALWAYS harmless!Thinking Catholicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589713565062075036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-4237064443385764582015-11-17T10:34:32.121+00:002015-11-17T10:34:32.121+00:00Dear Pat, thanks for highlighting the fact that a ...Dear Pat, thanks for highlighting the fact that a bishop celebrated his birthday.

The Vatican could have chosen better, but then a certain risk may have been involved; lets not take any risks, better to die quietly without any fuss. <br /><br />Priest of Down & Connor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-37352719732932180282015-11-14T17:10:42.844+00:002015-11-14T17:10:42.844+00:00The appointment of Eamon Martin as archbishop of A...The appointment of Eamon Martin as archbishop of Armagh is part of Nuncio Browns strategy to "soften" the image of the hierarchy. After the absolute disaster visited upon the Catholic church as the result of the sexual abuse and financial scandals and their complete mishandling and cover ups by the old guard the thinking has been to make the new bosses more people friendly and media presentable. Eamon Martin fits that profile. So that the oul lizzies are kept on side " the mammy" is given a wee indirect role in the whole scenario !<br />The "humanising" of bishops by using modern social media outlets to project a more down to earth and friendly image is all part of the game plan.<br />I think it's too little too late!<br />Ballymena BarneyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
