Sack the Roman Church out of  Ireland.

[Boreas74]

Can we remove tax-exempt status from the Church now please?

Can we remove the religious from all schools, colleges etc.?

Can we try Ratzinger as he is the head of this foul cabal?

@celticlofts Religion, like logic, philosophy, science and other forms of reasoning seeks to ascertain knowledge/truth/reality. Faith and/or other methods of acquiring knowledge is used everyday by all people including scientists.

Perhaps you assume that the only reality that exists is material. Well this is an assumption grounded in modern cultural conditioning. Therefore you may not see the value in religion.

Yes abuse exists everywhere, but nowhere has it been as systematically obscured and abetted as in the Catholic Church and in the Irish Catholic Church in particular. The Roman Catholic hierarchy has long been little more than a depraved, degenerate criminal oligarchy abetted in its criminality by a docile and compliant laity.

[whatever456]

oh spare us the sanctimony. There is nothing in civil society in Ireland or anywhere else remotely as appalling as the relentless sexual and physical abuse of children by priests and nuns, crimes compounded by the collusion of bishops and cardinals. When a neighbor or teacher learns of sexual abuse of a minor, they go to the police. When a bishop learns of it, his first thought is how to protect the perpetrator and spare his institution embarrassment.

[dexietable]

when will we address the subject of RAMPANT RAMPANT sexual abuse of children in IRE outside of the church and these schools by fathers, neighbors and uncles WHEN!

mary hanifan is one of my abusers i wonder if she thought of me and what she did to me while she sat listening to useless eamon gilmore

[SCANDIN3]

what about people like me from the state run homes when are we going to be compensated properly

[Arclight08]

The government not only trafficked children through their court system they funded the building of the institutions for the catholic church. They do not need to debate the report, they need to be brought to the court of Human Rights. The government still support the church by defending them at tax payers expense while denying the rights of survivors to courts. This was ethnic cleansing of the Irish people by church, state and government.

[Cagebreaker21]

I understand your point but I wasn't refering to it in a 'this is what you should believe approach' but a this is what people believe and what people have believed. Presenting it in a way that's unforced manner to the kids. I mean you can't just cut out every religious part out of history. Taught not Preached!

[omearacian]

schools where it is taught objectively,in our primary schools however it has a major and concerning role in education.We aren't saying that we want to strip people of their religion,only that any religion finds its proper place in modern Irish society.
