WEXFORD

Shrine of Our Lady's Isle offshore, in the southeastern Ireland. Known as the Church of the Bright Plain since the seventh century, it was the place of a planned massacre by Oliver Cromwell in Reformation times, where many of the faithful were killed while attending High Mass. The shrine was destroyed except for a small statue of Our Lady. A church was rebuilt on the mainland, but the original site remains in ruins, although it has been visited by thousands.

[Gluteus Maximus]

With Muslims taking over, England will soon be dead, and Ireland will finally be safe. And not a century too soon.

Moslems are moving into Ireland, too, although I understand from my FRiend there that immigrants from Poland and other parts of Eastern Europe are more common.

I used to sing this as a party-piece, when we were reenactors, long ago. I was just thinking of it recently because of the warrior priest, Father Murphy. There’s a priest in “For Greater Glory,” Father Reyes Vega, who was also more patriotic than canonically-correct.

(Cuteness points go to Mexicans, in my opinion, but that’s a matter of personal taste ;-).
