Ireland has voted by a huge majority to legalise same-sex marriage, becoming the first country in the world to do so by popular vote in a move hailed as a social revolution and welcomed around the world.
Some 62% of the Irish Republic’s electorate voted in favour of gay marriage. The result means that a republic once dominated by the Catholic church ignored the instructions of its cardinals and bishops.

To say that abusive priests has led to this is not enough, though it played a part. With most of the Christian world, including Catholics, embracing contraception, sex becomes about pleasure and not procreation. If sex is only about pleasure, what’s the argument against gay marriage? One can quote Romans 1 at Mass or during a service, but for the unchurched one must also say that abortion/homosexual acts and birth control are contrary to the natural law and that this is knowable by reason alone.
Patrick of Hibernia rolling in grave time now.
Just ten years ago Ireland’s economy was on the upswing. Then they gave up their sovereignty and soul to the EU.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 King James Version (KJV)
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
I hope to see, before the end of the century, Russian tanks roll into Paris, and Russian bombers over Ireland. It’s the only way. Sorry.
Well, that was interesting, in a nefarious way.
“They” can keep trying to call a snake a cow or a crow or a lamp all they want, but it’s still a slimy, filthy snake.
Kennedys, now queers. You can officially add Ireland to my list of places that could disappear and I wouldn’t notice or care. OTOH, it would make a great place to unleash option “E”. That’s becoming the only answer more and more of the time.
HMMMmmm...
I find this QUITE interesting...
The Roman Catholic Church in Ireland is part of the worldwide Roman Catholic Church. With 4.6 million members, it is the largest Christian church in Ireland, comprising 71.9 per cent of the population.
Wow!
And I thought UTAH had a majority of a certain religion!!
A majority of the state’s residents are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). As of 2007, 60.7% of Utahns are counted as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, although only 41.6% of them are active members.
I see nothing objectionable.
Meaning that, let Putin and his ilk have it- that might be the only way to save it from Islam.
You realize that Russia is more Muslim than the U.S.?
Putin and company will eventually solve that issue in the usual Russian way.
Russia is close to 15 percent Muslim. USA is less than 1 percent.
Czar Vladimir, former head of the KGB, can probably come up with a ‘Final Solution’ to the Muslim problem.
That is a far more astute analyses that mine on homosexual marriage. How can a child be raised by two homosexuals. I find it incomprehensible that that is not illegal.
Or maybe he will get what Muslims are in Russia to support him in his goals. There’s probably a reason why he’s interested in diplomatic relations between Russia and Mide Eastern nations.
My Polish cousins will then fight Putin’s National Bolshevists until every Ivan and Sascha in uniform is either dead or driven back to their sh-thole country. Yes Putin fanboys: Your idol still extols the virtues of the Great Patriotic War and has voiced admiration for many of the “achievements” of the Soviet Union as well.
“Or maybe he will get what Muslims are in Russia to support him in his goals.”
Possibly, but I get the general impression that they are more useful to him to help solidify his own power by being potential domestic enemies instead.
The Wii folk crave control.
I think HE did already: Genesis 13:13
