Irish Atheist

An open-exchange base for Irish Dissenters. Hopefully, a platform enabling Ireland's non-believers to make contact, exchanging opinions and experiences, at least until I become aware of a more competent platform.

Location: Dublin, Ireland

Born in Summerhill, a centre-city slum. Now 63, I remember the '60s as a time of economic relaxation in Ireland, with greater freedom of expression being taken for granted. Of course, abortion and euthanasia were still very much taboo subjects, but merely hurdles which would be jumped eventually. The '70s would be Socialist! How wrong we were back then.

That Liberal Agenda!

Reports this morning said Cura could lose out on €600,000 in funding from the State's Crisis Pregnancy Agency if it failed to give its clients details about other organisations.
*******************
So now I can see what Irish Catholics are on about when they use the term "liberal agenda" like the foulest of epithets! It's only a Catholic thing, after all.
Liberal Catholics just want to go for the money! From a business point of view, if there's Irish taxpayers money to be had, why not go for it? It seems to me that it's always been like that in the past, so I really can't understand why it should cause a fuss now. What really is going on between these Catholics? Could it be that many of the older generations thought that their Church was about something other than hard-headed business deals?
Such convictions might have been excuseable 20 years ago, but surely there's been sufficient exposures in the meantime to have educated even the most reluctant, slowest learners?
Ah, well, as long as it's only a Catholic thing, there's nothing much normal people can do about it!
