wizardofoz-- Pity your rant is about Catholics not reading the bible - guess what... (you midget-minded clone of Ian Paisley), if it weren't for the Catholic Church you would not have a bible to recommend others read. Had it been left to prots to come up with a book you would end up worshipping, you would not have one... you'd still be fighting amongst your 30some thousand sects in existence not only which books belong in it... but which verses! The laughable fact among you, is that you can't even agree on what to believe from person to person. You have one pope per head.

Chesapeake sez -- "This is one reason why immediate and positive action must be undertaken by the heirachy of the Church." -- Immediate and positive action has been undertaken by the hierarchy of the Church -- For the last 8 years abuse in the CC has practically ceased to exist while abuse in the public school system is rampant and the government, its patron and funding father, does NOTHING, is immune from legal action and the press is silent.

I have no church you fail to read my commentary (or ignore it),a plague on all your religions. You are certainly anti-catholic.The RC church did try to cover up the disgusting actions of ped/priests, a shameless act.You pick the The Salvation Army (A noble organization) above reproach, as have all the church's done noble work. You call yourself a christian but you lack 2 basic tenets of your Christian faith HOPE and Charity. As a christian your rhetoric and language proves what a sanctimonious hypocrite you are.By the way you are no lone ranger when it comes to friends and relatives murdered in the north of Ireland.I keep my commentary short and to the point,if this appears grammatically incorrect so be it.After all it's superior to your long winded anti christian dribbles.I wonder why you dismissed the fact that I am an atheist. Did it frustrate you I was not the RC you wanted me to be? I am not worried about your height but the capacity of you grey matter. You seriously need anger management training.I will list you favourite words. Idiot,Filth,scumbag,drunkard,imbecile,cretin,slut,
stupid,ignoramus,is this how you practice your Christianity.I fear I have hurt your feelings.Remember I am watching you to ensure you remain a good little Christian. Again i remind you I do not carry religious baggage, it appears to make one hateful and spiteful.

I knew I had you nailed Wiz anti Catholic anti Irish racist bigot.as a card carrying atheist I am free of all you religious baggage. I hope you condemn all pedophiles,those leaders in the boy scouts,Anglicans,social workers and cyber predators or is it just Catholic pedophiles you hate.You just can't get beyond your hate. Are there any pedophiles in your camp in Montana.I do believe I saw you play a part in the movie "DELIVERANCE" What do you Americans call those people,I know, white trash.

(/...cont’d.) But I do care about people like Kenneth Haynes with an agenda of their own to push, in asking the question that he has asked above. It's pure speculation and a question needlessly asked. So, Kenneth, would you and your editors kindly explain to me and all other ICentral readers why this article was written and published at all? An article full of speculation and no substance should never be written or published. I could have bet on the speculation around the Grand National horse race today in the UK. I didn't - 'cos I knew an awful lot of the horses would fail to finish the course – in fact, only one third of the horses hung in there to finish the gruelling course. Moore might fall too, someday. Hopefully Kenneth won't. But he should, for writing this rubbish. I aim to be amongst the one-third of Catholics that see this storm out. Who else will be with me?

The angry rant by mollymguire kinda mirrors my own but I like to think I can stand back from popular dissent and look at facts and issues. Like molly, I don’t countenance any of the abuse that happened or the apparent covering-up, if we are to believe our bishops, that that was the way ‘things were dealt with back then’. I am however extremely against media people, like Moore, trying to ram stuff into our brains when there isn’t any evidence to substantiate a need to attack the Roman Catholic Church as a whole. I'm a bit like domuscanus in that respect. Like over a billion of others, I am gladly, by choice, a minute part of this whole universal, Catholic Church. Moore hasn't said he would do such an investigation. Frankly, I couldn't care less if he does. (Cont’d.../)

I hope LilPaddy was not in Daingean when Lugs Brannigan was running it.As far as M Moore is concerned his causes are always just,he fights for the poor and dispossessed
or at the very least gives them a voice.He pricks the conscious of the ruling classes (if that's possible).
not in daingean

No one would buck the Catholic Church and come out with the Real Story thats hidden in the Vatican Historical Files. The church is to powereful.It can buy any Law inforcements OR News media. to keeps its secrets. this corruption by the Pedophile Priests , Bishops , Cardinals is nothing new. its been going on for over 1900 yrs. Even our so called Holy Fathers ( Popes) are no saints .Most Catholics have their head in the sand when it comes to crimes comitted by the Fathers of the Church. Things don't look good for our RAT ZINGER . Maybe its time to stop sending money to Rome , then they might wake up and clean House. but it must start at the Top. The power is with the Lay People and order Chage NOW!

That liberal blowhard writing about the sex-scandal in the Catholic Church!!! Yeah he would have been my logical first choice (sarcasm)...I wonder if he will then write about the abuse in the Boy Scouts, the teachers in America, the Protestant, Lutheran, Baptist ministers, etc., the US Olympic swimming coaches just to name a few. He was always so fair and balanced (sarcasm again).

I just hope that all of you "comment'ers" understand that IrishCentral and it's type have one single agenda; AND THAT IS TO SEE THE END OF A CHURCH (any church) IN IRELAND.....
I FOR ONE GAVE IrishCentral founder Niall O'Dowd INFORMATION REGARDING "REAL" SEX ABUSE IN DAINGEAN 1958-60 AND HE WOULD NOT PRINT A WORD OF IT....WHY???....SO, INSTEAD OF ASKING READERS TO ASK MICHAEL MOORE TO DO A DOCUMENTARY ON "PEDOPHILE PRIESTS" (of which there is no such thing)!! Ask Mr. O'Dowd to report on a story based on fact(s).... Given to him by a person who was in Daingean (Me).... But the facts don't seem to meet Mr. O'Dowd's AGENDA!!! I'm at 951.264.7103.. AND TO YOU "domuscanus"... Your comment tells me that you are so close to what the truth really is; STICK WITH IT... F.Y.I. I am not a church goer myself...But, does that mean that those who are should be denied "their" church?? domuscanus...THINK POLYGRAPH'S.... And watch the numbers take a dive south.... I'm by the phone!!.... AND IF MICHAEL MOORE WANTS A REAL STORY THAT INVOLVES AMERICAN "DOMESTIC TERRORISTS"??? Give him my# or www.scdtspotlight.com The truth should be above "anyones" agenda.... EVEN I.C's..

Michael Moore is a blowhard. The heirarchy would just use him as a reason to further entrench themselves and continue their systematic brand of "Omerta". I hope he stays out of it. It will only further their warped theory of "media bias".

No better man behind the lens in my opinion. Debunking myths and self-righeous Dynasties vis a vis the Political arena. I cherish my Catholic Faith. We need an eye that risks redicule in forraging through that presented in robes and a reality check. Slainte.
