The time for Irish unity is now -- economically, politically it makes perfect sense

JamieLM. Steven most likely worked for one of those American firms who were a dime a dozen during the Celtic Tiger and is having great difficulty accepting that as charity begins at home they had to re-locate. Possably made worse by the fact that when he tryed to get his old chambermaids job back, it was already filled by an African on half the money for double the hours.

yes it is but get rid of the polititions first

Ireland needs another revolution to rid the country of corrupt polititions bankers and property speculaters

"The time for Irish unity is now"? I suggest you consult the results of the latest poll on that issue....lol.

curtisjohnson: Why do you hate Protestants?

The inconvenient truth is that there is a defacto United Ireland (UI) as it stands within the European Union (EU). Last year, both America and China cautioned against Ireland's EU secessionism. Its one thing if the currently constituted Anglo-centric United Kingdom (UK) wants to pull out of the EU. But where will that leave Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish (NI) devolutionist/neo-nationalist/pro-Europeans who don't necessarily share neo-imperial Rule Britannia-ery or Little England-ery. At the end of the day, it's really a struggle between the £ and €. My confirmation money's on the latter.

For all its faults, the Catholic Church is still preferable to degenerate anglo-dutch protestantism and its materialist Calvinist roots (which do fit nicely into the petty shop keeper anglo mindset). Aside from the puritan mass murdering pscyho-paths, the spectrum of british protestantism includes a state sponsored "Church" that owned, bred, and branded slaves (query whether this thieving criminal enterprise will ever repay the tithes it stole from the Irish people).

STEVENSTAR, take a chill pill "...about your Irishness" issues. Rumors say Spain, Italy, and Greece will all be owned by British and Germany bankers real soon. Ireland has no worries, and the Americans will stay out of it.

Gearoid4, while you are keeping norm straight, keep in mind it is Society, not Order, of Jesus. You boys drive home slow now.

C'mon STEVESTAR! We know yer a Norlin Ayrlin fifth columnist masquerading as a southie to sow the seeds of enmity between Irish mainlanders and their diaspora. And son, I told ye before, stop headbuttin' yer laptops' keyboard. You'll invalidate the warranty. "So don't worry - be happy! Ye have a friend in Jesus.

Well, norm, the Holy Spirit blows where He wills and the documents of Vatican 11 recognize that His influence effects individual believers and movements within the other Christian faiths besides Catholicism. The Charismatic movement among pentacostals and evangelicals would be a prime example of this and their influence since the 60's has spread to the Catholic world. But it can be hard to discern at times if it is the Holy Spirit who is working wonders or maybe self-induced hysteria which is effecting congregations. But Christ only founded one flock and although strong elements exist in other Christian churches and ecclesial communities, the true essence subsists within the Catholic Church despite the transgressions of individual members.

Work In Ireland?

Work in Ireland? THATS A LAUGH.

Gearoid4- What about people of other faiths who have had Holy Ghost experiences?
