We're in a society where our religions (catholicism, consumerism and property) no longer provide guidance or distraction, where our leaders don't know how to lead, and where many (most?) have lost trust in those institutions regardless of whatever happens next anyway. "godless and leaderless" = chaos? I dunno, quite a challenge for this little society of ours!   Hi GD,

Why, why, why?  It's not just the Irish branch, it's everywhere.  The church has always been so, yet the ”faithful” continue to fund it’s living hell.

At least we dont have the Irish football teams spoiling the world cup Celtic Tiger ?? More like a stray pussy Pity the government and media were not as concerned

Having just lost both my parents at 14, I went into an empty church in the middle of the afternoon to pray, as we clumsily do at that age. The priest came up to me and, having decided that my reason for being there was false and that I was really there looking for an opportunity to steal the silverware, he threw me out. So I walked slowly back up the aisle, out into the sunlight, and swore I would never set foot in a church again in my life. And I never have. Ok, he was an asshole, but at least he cured me of Catholicism before I was too deeply addicted. I was lucky enough to be forced to leave.
