Thanks for mischaracterizing my views on the Church...Understanding WHY membership is declining is

the First Step in dealing with...and hopefully reversing...that Reality.

And talk about Incorrect Assumptions...you haven't hesitated one bit to make False Assumptions about others...e.g. me...right now...and in previous posts akin to a "Spanish Inquisition" ;-)...to the point of being downright laughable.

Back to the subject matter...I have very close relations with Family and Friends in the Republic and Ulster...the "Irish" have 'Grown Up' and don't mindlessly pledge fealty to un-trustworthy people or organizations...including the RCC, that Greatly Sinned against them...now it's up to the Catholic Church to EARN that Trust Back...which I hope it does, especially under the guidance of Pope Leo.

And finally, thanks to the Irish Soccer Team and Fans for 'calling out' the Zionists' shameful violence against so many innocent Muslims in Gaza...and Iran (see bombing of children's school)
