the Irish government has been displaying some very disturbing anti-Christian and anti-Jewish attitudes, too
not sure what’s going on in there, as Ireland has always been a good Biblical country (with, of course, some extra celebrations!)
is it primarily a problem of a few people in the government or is it more a societal sickness, or what?
Well, it isn’t exactly St. Patrick’s Ireland any more. But while sad, this shouldn’t be altogether a surprise. God never has grandchildren. One generation dropping the ball is enough to get some serious backsliding going.
“is it primarily a problem of a few people in the government or is it more a societal sickness, or what?”
Well, who elects these people in the government?
What happened is George Soros. His Open Society groups have gotten in there in the past few years with millions of Euros and leftist operatives to undermine Christian belief, outlaw Christian practice such as Ireland's bans on abortion and gay marriage, and push Ireland to accept muslims and unfettered immigration. And they have been succeeding.
