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 Republics 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.

My husband will be glad to know I no longer want to go to Ireland.
The homosexualists carefully redesigned their ad campaign some years ago when they found “gay marriage” wasn’t selling as well as they hoped. Suddenly “marriage equality” was the cause. Who can be against equality, right?
The left is very, very good at doing this btw.
If I understand the mentality of the Irish, this is not a big problem to them. Like the Jewish, they are conditioned on owing land.
My blood is Scots-Irish, worse, I own Apple products.
Thank God, I am a man who still loves women!!!
I think the Irish are crazy, but I suspect we Scots drove them to insanity when we gave them whiskey.....it didn’t take much whiskey.
The Irish clergy—bishops and priests—lorded it over the people for generations. And the people accepted it. And the English attempted genocide many times.
Catholicism is over in Ireland, as the bishops hand out Communion to the pro-abortion, pro-sodomy politicians.
...
And all those who seek it shall find it
A pardon for all who believe
Hope for the hopeless and sight for the blind
To all who've been born of the Spirit
And who share incarnation with Him
Who belong to eternity stranded in time
And weary of struggling with sin
Forget not the hope that's before you
And never stop counting the cost
Remember the hopelessness when you were lost
There is a joy in the journey
There's a light we can love on the way
There is a wonder and wildness to life
And freedom for those who obey
And freedom for those who obey
Hey, wait a minute! If you can’t vote to make gay marriage ILLEGAL how can you vote to make it LEGAL? WTH? Only in the sick mind of a liberal does this make any sense.
They have not yet called for building guillotines for the bitterly clinging Old Thinkers. Not yet.
Alas, Brave New Babylon.
And finally, the last old-guard bunker to fall: the Boy Scouts, completing the cycle of government-approved sodomite corruption. For a century the Scouts were morally straight? According to whose definition of straight? So why shouldnt adult homosexual Scout leaders share tents with teenagers in our brave new world? Dont be a homophobe, we were told. Each child can make his or her own free choice about their gender identity, but now with helpful adult mentors to guide them along the formerly forbidden paths.
If it feels good, do it. Or have it done to you. Or even do it unto the little children. Tommy wants to become Tomasina before heading to kindergarten? Her brave new mommy agrees? A government-provided surgeon will perform the gender reassignment operation. And if kindergarten isnt soon enough to put the kids on the unrepressed road to gender identification, then start them on Heather Has Two Mommies and Prince and Prince cartoon books in the government-subsidized day care centers.
Smiling experts assured us that we were merely throwing off the shackles of our repressed sexualities. Dissent is hate, and hate is not tolerated around here, mister, so shut up and get with the program. Well, I couldnt get with the program, so I quit my public high school job. As a world history teacher, moving from a public school to a Christian academy (at less pay and fewer benefits) gave me a couple more years of insulation from the social wreckage cascading down.
I kept looking up for the big asteroid, but we didnt need God to smite us from outer space. In the end, we smote ourselves with our hubris, believing that we were replacing Gods wisdom with our own. The proud decadence and in-your-face cultural perversions didnt cause the Rupture, but they were surely flashing red signs warning that the end was near.

Same-sex sexual intercourse is legal in 19 Muslim-majority nations (Albania, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Burkina Faso, Chad, Djibouti, Guinea-Bissau, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Mali, Niger, Northern Cyprus, Tajikistan, Turkey, West Bank (State of Palestine), and most of Indonesia). In Albania, Lebanon, and Turkey, there have been discussions about legalizing same-sex marriage. Homosexual relations between females are legal in Kuwait, but homosexual acts between males are illegal. Lebanon has had recent internal efforts to legalize homosexuality.
Most Muslim-majority countries have opposed moves to advance LGBT rights at the United Nations, in the General Assembly and/or the UNHRC. However, Albania and Sierra Leone have signed a UN Declaration supporting LGBT rights. OIC member-state Mozambique provides LGBT rights protections in law in the form of non-discrimination laws, and discussions on legally recognizing same-sex marriage have been held in the country.

Islam has swallowed Satan's lies in so many areas already, why not other areas?
LOL
They are all leprechauns :)

Thanks Catholic church and bishops for not teaching the Catholic faith for the past 50 years.

It’s disgusting. I will say, though, that I think it’s the Irish hierarchy that corrupted the Faith in Ireland, both through their sinful actions and their ambiguous words.
BXVI tried to remove some of this group. But I think Francis has unfortunately restored them to grace, and this is the result.
this all started in the late fifties when that leftist John XXIII stole the Papacy from arch conservative Cardinal Siri (look it up). This was inspired by the Moscow communists and it worked like a charm. Then came Vatican II a perfect church wrecking storm, fueled by the CIA inspired Jesuits. This brought the concept that there was no reason to be Catholic when you could just be Protestant like everyone else. John Paul II and Benedict gave us some game but it wouldn’t last. Then came Francis, the one and only Jesuit in the Papacy. Or should I say Peter of Rome...that prophecy by St. Malachy that he would be the last Pope, reigning over and betraying the Church which he destroys. Is it over? or is there a walk off win here somewhere?
He already did.
As for your tag, instead of concentrating on what strengthens the devil’s hand, I suggest concentrating on what strengthens God’s hand in you.
You do notice that being Catholic does not appear to be sinproof!
The big problem was that men decided they could do it all themselves (whether as an organization like a church or otherwise) rather than resting directly on the grace of God which was promised to be sufficient without other men pumping it up for you.
The sin is obvious now, but that doesn’t mean sin wasn’t there from the start.
