If a "friend" had betrayed you, lied to you, committed heinous crimes against you, your relatives or your friends, or covered up those crimes -- would you happily march into his home for Christmas dinner with gifts for him in hand?
Yes? Then you'd be an idiot, of course.
But that is exactly what Catholics in Ireland will likely do when they go to their churches for Christmas Mass.
Kiss their solid-gold rings? Kiss my arse!
The child abuse and sex abuse and its cover-up by higher-ups, whose horrid details are fast emerging, is now known to be an atrocity that went on for DECADES, and which was hardly the work of a "handful" of sick clerics or well-intentioned bishops. It was hateful, criminal, systematic, and long-standing.
Is this the company you'll keep on Christmas?
"Well, I'll go to Mass," some say, "but I won't put anything in the collection plate."
That's a good start for sure. But these criminals did more than steal your money. A LOT MORE! Dope Benedict XXX can send them more money that you could ever imagine if you hold back a few dollars. Rest assured, they'll still have warm rectories, tables full of food, and anything else they want or need.
Of course, they'd have you believe they're too poor to pay any reparations or damages to those they've so horribly sinned against. Ah, baloney! How stupid do they they think you are? Or ARE you that stupid?
Wolfie is an old hound who learned his religion from the ancient "Baltimore Catechism," and it said that God is everywhere. Although they should probably put out a corrected edition to say that God is everywhere EXCEPT in Ireland's Catholic churches, let's say the original claim is right.
That means that God is in your home, too. With the ones you love, and who (hopefully) have not stabbed you in the back recently.
Have your Christmas Mass there. Say some prayers, read the Nativity story, listen to some nice religious music, break the bread, and sip (don't chug) the wine.

Reading these comments makes me sad. Keep going to Church. Keep thinking it is a small minority of priests who commit these crimes. That is why scandal will go on and on and on...
Everyone in the Church knows what goes on. The "good" priests...if they are so "good"...how come they don't speak up or stand up? Because they are just like the "sheeple" in the pew. They blindly follow no matter what. Pathetic!

jacer and rebelforce and mike - it's people you who enabled all these priestly sickos with your craven obedience to anyone in black robes. Don't you understand that your religion is rotten to the core, all the way to the cowardly Pope himself who hasn't the balls to visit Ireland and apologize in person.

Wolfie certainly didn't learn very well if he thinks going to church means visiting the home of the clergy. I was taught that a Catholic church was the House of God and the gate of heaven. To ignore the good works of most priests (who visit the sick and dying, comfort grieving relatives, counsel the troubled and burdened, help the poor, preside at Mass, baptisms, funerals and weddings etc.) because of the misdeeds of a small minority, is unfair and frankly, downright un-Christian.

What a thoroughly obnoxious comment. It's a shame the media has condescended to printing material like this. Most priests are exceptionally good.

Excuse me, you oul’ rabid dog! (IC’s description, not mine!) I’ll go to Mass on Christmas Day to celebrate the birth of my Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ. How dare you suggest anything different under guise of a topical scandal!! No ‘Drummer Boy’ is you, instead you’re drumming up hatred – think about that in your home on Christmas Day as you eat bread and sip wine, neither of which will be consecrated.
