Ireland going for gold as Katie Taylor progresses onto Olympic final

I like the site, it seems to allow everyone to voice an opinion.

As a Roman Catholic I liked that Katie gave the glory to God. Jesus said not to be ashamed of Him or His words. God bless you Katie.

OK, murph, but the last I heard, God is a Catholic.

WoundedKnee, God is IN the Olympics. He's on the Jamaican team.

First Irish gold medal nearly in the bag. @WoundedKnee: God's too busy encouraging the people of world to kill each other in his name... or so it would seem when watching the news!

This young lady is an evangelical Protestant. I wonder is she the first evangelical to reach prominence in Ireland? I wish her every success, though as a practicing Catholic I confess to feeling uncomfortable when an athlete publicly thanks God for his/her victory. We've seen enough of that in the NFL, NBA etc. Surely God is in the neutral corner, in fact I very much doubt that S/He's following the Olympics.
