Donegal priest quits due to verbal and physical abuse by parishioners

I've been trying to get the message that "bullying" both verbal & physical were part and parcel of the Irish culture. That's how an infantile person fights back when he or she doesn't have the intellegence or timidity to accept the views of others or negotiate on a socially & civilly acceptable level. Now this priest's situation will maybe open some Irish-American's eyes to the fact that brutal bullying is indeed not limited to the civilian population. It pervades Irish culture and is acceptable from the highest political positions right down to the dole receivers with little or no education.
