Gearoud4 - thank you. The agenda screams at every issue. Holla, differing perspective and opinion; they do exist. Please do not try to assume anything on my behalf or try to belittle me. Give some respect. I find your views way out there but I respect your right to a different view.

The two posters below want to live in the kind of reactionary unquestioning Catholic theocracy Ireland was for most of the last century. They find it 'dispiriting' that people treat LGBT citizens like equals in law. They'll never have room for diversity of any kind so we can overlook their narrow minds.

Too right, Smyrnian. This search engines of this particular IC site seem be set by default to search for topics which are completely add odds with the Catholic viewpoint and in sympathy with their own leftist secularist and dispiriting agenda.

IC loves its gay topics/agenda. Just waiting now for the next pro-abortion story, an article about the Clinton's, the NY Times, anything containing the word Savita and of course, something glowing about Maureen Dowd and naturally something negative about the Catholic Church, no matter how obscure the topic. That about covers the IC agenda!
