Ireland says "Yes" to same-sex marriage

Post by klr » Sat May 23, 2015 8:35 am

The first country in the world to do so by popular vote. Only the margin is to be decided. :smug:

We're about as Catholic as the French, Italians or Spanish. In other words, we're "staunch Catholics" in name only.

The Vatican was told to fuck off, by the Irish Premier in the Dail.

Not in those words, but not far off it either.

It's about time the church lost all ties to the State. Bunch of cunts.
There are some good ones.

But then, there are some good pedophiles.

No, I mean the celibate ones, who have the urge, but wouldn't dream of harming kids.

They are still pedophiles, but not in the same class as the criminal ones.

Irish Referendum on Marriage for All

Post by Hermit » Sat May 23, 2015 11:27 am

And it's a big "YES".

Spain is another supposedly arch Catholic nation that permits homosexuals to be as foolish as heterosexuals. Though that decision was not made by direct popular vote, it does reflect the will of the people. It makes you wonder about just how little hold the Roman Catholic Church has over its alleged followers.

Looking forward to Italy following suit one day. That would be particularly delicious, considering that the Vatican is right in the middle of it.

Well, the vatican will never let priests marry their homosexiual partenrs, nor the altarboys

Yeah. I noticed that about 15 minutes after I started this thread and reported it as in need of merging.
