I thought I might not have been if he’d carried out the threat - while I’m perfectly prepared to defend myself - 69 taking on larger fitter 45 wouldn’t have attracted the bookies.

That was shoddy. It was one long sneer from a writer who thinks of himself as clever, but is too short on imagination to think himself out of his bubble. What the author, should be most afraid of is his inability to notice integrity. has it; doesn’t

The God of Judaeo-Christianity is the source of our morality, our learning, our best music, our best poetry, our best architecture & our best understanding of our selves. This act of repudiation is terrible & offensive, I have to protest. It will be, for them, self-destruction.
The trouble is that once you read history ignoring the propaganda, & realise that the Catholic churches were stolen by violence, executing their faithful priests in a state coup, it is hard to see their occupancy by state-sponsored Christian communities, as legitimate or welcome

The repudiate motherhood in what they describe as the narrow sense -
Seriously ?
‘Narrow motherhood?’
And offer instead
“how to make a Gospel-centered, compassionate home within themselves.”
Perhaps you could explain this Jungian trope for the rest of us ?

Ireland, which was evangelized by St. Patrick, is not lost. There are 21st-century St. Patricks in Ireland. The Catholic men's Rosary rally, started a few years back by a friend of mine who is a doctor, has been spreading across the country, now taking place at nearly 25

yes. Shame - deep shame on you. Desecrating a place that Catholics kept holy for a 1,000 years, but having no sense of the holy -you profane. You sell the sacred for money. Guess what Jesus thinks of that?

This is sacrilegious. You should be ashamed of yourselves. How is it possible that you're incapable of seeing why this is wrong? How is it possible that you are proud of this violation of sacred space? A Cathedral is not an "events space". It is a church. x.com/CburyCathedral…

There are degrees of discordance and as you put it hyper modernity, and there’s a complex overlay between spirituality, personal taste and aesthetics, but there are points at which one can say, must say this is un-beautiful, unholy and dishonouring to God.

There are no homosexual birds. Homosexuality is biologically sterile. Surely you want birds to breed and have chicks ? Why are you celebrating a movement predicated on biological sterility ? How does that help birds ? Don’t be ridiculous.

You’re quite right. They only expressed disinclination to follow the narrow way as Catholics.
What they dislike in motherhood was what they described as
‘the limited option’
of having and raising children within a familial home. I should have quoted more carefully.
“Christianity, far from being guilt-obsessed, operates almost an industry of guilt-relief, as whitening as Daz or restorative as penicillin, offering prayers & sacraments to help you face & free yourself, to start all over again.”
