Irish Heritage Day == an occasion to get drunk? Bettter abolosh the shamrock, too. It is after all a symbol for the Holy Trinity.

[narses]

Wow.

I've heard of RINO's, and CINO's, but I can now add IINO's to my list.
Banshee Ping!

This has to be the most bizarre thing I have ever heard. Here in Syracuse, NY in the St. Patrick's Day parade there are floats put together by various parishes.

I assume also that the parade did not have someone dressed as St. Patrick in a bishops costume?

[Desdemona]

Oh, my. You HAVE to be kidding. At the parade here yesterday, for which I only stayed for an hour (about half), there were 4 St. Patricks, a snake, the archbishop, one Catholic high school marching band (I didn't know there were any out of 25 high schools, but this should be encouraged), a parish that more less sponsors the thing.... How can you eliminate the cross? It was there, too. The Hibernians made sure.

Of course, our liberal rag of a daily, puts on the front page, a photograph of a couple people receiving Eucharist before the parade (St. James the Greater has a big Mass before the parade for all the people in it). The were receiving on tongue and just happen to be professional clowns and they were dressed for work. It was titled "The Serious Side of St. Patrick's Day." We all get the point, btu I can imagine that photo being abused.

The darkness rears its head. Watch and see. It has no shame now.

Grotesque assault on St. Patrick himself. The snake never gives up. But I take great pleasure in remember that moment in The Passion of the Christ in the Garden when Jesus takes care of the snake.

BANSHEE PING!

Even a left-handed Irishman honors the cross. This Lovering may claim to be Irish but this action makes a lie of it.

[LiteKeeper]

INTREP - SECULARIZATION OF AMERICA ALERT!

[nickcarraway]

They might as well ban St. Patrick, as the Cross.

[TradicalRC]

Someone needs to knock some sense into them with a sheleighleh. No email address to give them a bit of the O'Freep to?

[old and tired]

I wonder what they'd do with my granddaughters' Irish Dance school? They just danced in the Philadelphia St. Paddy's Parade and their costumes have Celtic Crosses embroidered on them. As the cost of the costumes is about $500 a piece they won't be getting new ones anytime soon. I'm pretty sure they're not the only ones with religious symbols on their dresses - I think the schools usually get their designs from the Book of Kells.

Unbelievable!

Time for Georgia's Irish Catholics to grow a backbone.

I can't believe the AOH went along with this!
