Powerful Association of Irish Priests warns Vatican over “heresy hunting”

I often wonder if the Vatican ever told the truth on any Religious information or its teachings by Jesus ? or is it only a pagan Religious Business ? How can we ever Trust the church again ?

@Seanomelb the Roman Catholic Church is immoral and anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it. It been wrong on abortion, wrong on divorce, wrong on equality, wrong on not making women priests, wrong on the way it has acted on paedophiles within the church, wrong on selecting the head of the church, wrong on claiming the children of mixed marriages all to be Roman Catholic, it is corrupt and rotten from within. It is rotten as a pear. It will fail and those who say otherwise are stupid. It is old fashioned and entrenched in outdated beliefs and opinions. Thats why the numbers will crash. They are on the way to extinction. Like the dodo. Bigots at best, nutters are worst.

@IrelandNorth some people are confused by your claims to be a Roman Catholic or even half a Roman Catholic. Whats half a Catholic mean? You have said in reply to myself that you are an elder in the Presbyternian Church. How so? After some thought I have worked it out. You also claimed to be other religions. So on Friday your a Muslim and pray to Allah and then have Friday prayers. On Saturday on attend the synogogue with the rabbi, On sunday morning its a service in the Presbyternian church and later the same day you fit in evening Mass with the Roman Catholic Church. Monday its bible classes with the Baptists, Tuesday choir practice with Methodists, Wednesday prayers and religious readings with the Free Presbyternians and Thursday its singing and religious preachings with the Brethren in the high street. Busy boy you are. At the same time your always making comments on these billboards. 7 days per week. I think your breaking the commandment about telling lies. Bearing false witness! In reality you probably never go to any church or belong to any church or religion. Lets tell the truth. I am listening very patiently! Please reply and dont ignore my question.

Tom Swinford, please allow me, several days later, to reflect on your language and give you my take--my faith is not in my Church, nor my religion--nor is it in my faith. My faith is in Jesus Christ. Anything or anyone less than Him will be a disaster. Best regards and blessings.

@barneyjo Why are Roman Catholics blinded by religious rubbush. Brain washed and just follow a leader. I didnt see many RC people oppose Pope John Paul 2 when he was made a saint. No human beings should be made a saint. No-one has the right to be defined as prefect. "WE ARE ALL BUT SINNERS". So no-one is a saint. They dont exist not here on earth or anywhere. In a ideal world yes but this world is not ideal. Far from it.

@barneyjo you paint Pope John Paul 2 in a glowing light. He was hardly a saint. In fact Pope John Paul 2 was in charge of the RC Church when all the paedophile priests were hidden and given safe houses in which to hide. Some were moved to different parishes, the US and the Vatician. When it is claimed he committed a miracle. What great miracle i hear everyone ask. He is alleged to have cured someones illness. Hardly ending world famine, ending endless wars or bringing someone back from the dead. Made up rubbish. Why was it done? To make him a saint. What a joke. It now turns out the RC Church were bribing the victim families of these paedo priests. First breaking the law and then breaking the law again by offering bribes. £10,000 to one family in Londonderry whos son was abused. Not only did that happen they then got the family to sign documents to prevent them from talking to anyone about it especially the press. Criminals all of them. Who was in charge when it all happened - Guess who - The saintly Pope John Paul 2. A joker!

@IrelandNorth you have told me that you are a elder in the Presbyternian Church. So how can you be raised a Roman Catholic and be a elder within the Pres. Church. Its not possible. Its a bit like me claiming to be the next pope. Its crazy. You are very confused or you are telling very tall stories. Thats very christian either way is it. In fact its breaking one of those 10 commandments within Christian Churches. Me thinks you lie like a cheap clock. Come clean and shame the devil!

The ACP, powerful? You are joking. If they want a Celtic church, why don't they admit it?

Time for the ressurection of the original Celtic Catholic Church of Saint Patrick...An alliance with the Vatican maybe possible based on Celtic New Canon Law.

The Church of Ireland (Anglican Communion) are no swinging liberals on these issues either. And the Presbyterian Church in Ireland are probably even more conservative than such high Anglicans and/or the Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church in Ireland. Catholic means universal, not exclusive. I was raised RC. My wife is a northern 'Prod'. Our children are dissenters. How Irish are they? Free your minds. Read the Gnostic Gospels. The original of the species. A generic Christianity. The Jesus Movement. Ohm!

Up the Fathers. Keep up the fight. The past is just that... the past. The presant and the future is at stake!

I say its high time to make the split from the Vatican Pagan Church. cut off the Money supply to them maybe they will wake up to the fact most people are sick of the way they conduct themself. The Change is long overdue.

On 17 March my wife (a Methodist) and I went to a St. Patrick's Day dinner at an Epiccopal church, on Good Friday we attended services in a Methodist church, and last fall we saw a play, accompanied by a Quacker clergyman and his wife. But I still don't see the need to villify the R.C. bishops, malign the Pope and demonize the Catholic Church.

Emperor Palpatine, now that's funny. John Paul II was a living saint, and I say that as an atheist. This feller Benedict, not so much.

What do I think about this? It's not really fit for publication, the things I'd like to say. I'd say the Pope has had his day, but then I never believed in any of it to start with.
