This Bishop is NOT in the Catholic Church, from the way I read it, he’s in the Church of Ireland....like the Church of England.

LISTEN UP> It’s NOT a CATHOLIC BISHOP SAYING THIS!!!! It’s a Protestant Bishop saying that unless the Catholic Church changes like the Church of England has, it will be a smaller Church.

The bishop obviously doesn’t spend enough time reading his bible (if he has one).

A sociologist wants to set policy for the church?

I’ll bet he doesn’t even have kids.

The Church of Ireland has no adherents but all the best real estate (ecclesiastical, that is) in the country.

Yes, funny indeed, but wouldn’t it be Sodom and Erin-Go-Morra?

Is that a potato? St Patrick chased the snakes and brought the potato?

So what? Smaller isn’t actually bad if the smaller means a greater percentage of faithful, right?

And, it’s not like the Irish church is running over with attendance right now.

And most of those who do attend are the Poles who have moved to Ireland.
