Life / Can we christen our child even though I am still married? [7]


I think Barney hit the nail on the head here. The older generation of priests are set in their ways and as this type of thing may have been frowned upon in days gone by they tend to take the same approach now.

Find a young priest who is more adopt with modern times and society.

Life / Can we christen our child even though I am still married? [7]


Hi Andy. I dont think this is true. I know in the Catholic religion in Ireland it is permitted. Some local priests take exception to unmarried couples christening their children in church on Sundays and have to pick a week day but this is the first I have heard of what you stay.

I myself am divorced (however in the eyes of the church I am not) and have a son that I christened when I was separated from my ex (not divorced).

I hope this helps and I wish you all the best.

Life / Communion, why do only half of church-goers in Poland take it? [41]


There are many other parts to the mass besides communion.


I am divorced. I went to confession to confess my sins and the priest told me that the Church did not recognise divorce. in the eyes of the Church and God I was still married. I felt ashamed.

Correct me if im wrong for asking this question....Do all Christians religions partake in the sacrament of communion or is it only Catholics. I mean does Church of England, Methodist, Baptist etc receive communion on a regular basis?

That is why devote Catholics in Ireland frown on the receiving of communion by those who do not confess their sins. I believe they are right.

It would be custom in Ireland amongst regular mass goers that unless you are 'in the state of grace', having confessed your sins and your soul cleansed, then you should not receive the sacrament of holy communion. It also used to be a custom that you had to fast for 1 hour before mass if you were going to receive the body of christ.

Its hard to wait around for something that you know might not happen but its even harder to give up when you know its everything you ever wanted.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]

After reading the various posts of the day....with the exception of the now suspended hotel waiter (Revokenice) I am lead to conclude that Polish people in general would be sympathetic to the cause of Re-unification of Ireland. I also thank the various other posters from other nationalities.

I do not for one minute conclude that the Polish people or other agreeded with the violent past from which we have came.

Some people dream of their local team winning a trophy, other yearn to see their country prosper at a chosen sport. For me that dream is a 32 County Socialist Ireland for all the peoples of this island, regardless of religion, colour and ethnic background.

I will continue to work for it and hope that one day that dream becomes a reality.

RevokeNice

Jasus your like a bad rash. Never go away do you? Have they not developed a cream yet to get shot of you?

Where you been? Surfing the net for more boring statistics or finishing of that website of yours? Dont tell me......they pulled your EU funding on it.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]

Correct......That is why I provided the website

sinnfein.ie

There are many links including the Sinn Fein shop in Dublin where you can purchase books and other articles relating to the struggle for Irish Re-unification.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


I am. Now, lets see their white paper on re-unification, please

Which is it you want....next you will be looking the orange one !!!


Thanks, that the reason why I set up the thread.

Bit ironic when 38 million Poles will support my aspiration but you seem not too.

Your more interested in spreading hate and venom.

PPS what movement did you say you were aligned too. I know you mentioned it in a previous thread but I didnt pay much attention....you have that effect on people.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


The mods already did

Rule 8......oh and check out Rule 6 & 7 too. They should pull you on that too.

If anyone on the forum is interested in Sinn Fein stradegy or the part we have played in brinigng peace and furthering the path to the re-unification of Ireland, you are welcome to browse, at your own convenience at the Sinn Fein website sinnfein.ie

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


At least I picked one up you fecking armchair patriot and recognised the time to put it down.

You talk about your Ireland for the Irish but you fail to recognise the legitimate right of people in this country who hold an Irish passport.

You talk about facts and figures, quotes and internet links. It all means nothing if you dont have freedom. Freedom from oppression, Freedom from discrimination as a minority. FREEDOM....the God given right of any man, woman and child.

I started this thread to see if the Polish people had an interest in the re-unification of Ireland. Instead you turn it into a thread to openly undo everything that Sinn Fein have done in the last 100 years to further that aspiration.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


Labour, Green Party, Independents.......didnt see any of your elected reps there.....oh thats right you dont have any yet....or ever !!


All I see in your video clip are people with Irish passports !


The last general election ?? Every small party suffered - Greens, PD's, etc due to the media turning it into a battle of Bertie v Enda and you know that !!


If only it were that simple. In order for it to carry there must be a majority of the people in the 6 counties. That is written into our laws.

Did you know that the then prime minister of UK, Winston Churchill was willing to grant Ireland its re-unification if it gave up its neutrality and fought with the British during WW2?

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


There are approx 1 million people would occupy the 6 counties of which approx 42% are of nationalist persuasion.

How to convince the approx 48% unionist. Well the country as a whole works on a daily basis as one in matters such as security, agriculture etc.

Remember that these people were Irish protestants before they were British Loyalists. Education on the benefits of an all island Ireland is the only way.


Jasus I have never heard such utter crap.

Firstly a re-unification of Ireland will only ocurr when the unionist majoriy in the North are convinced of the benefits that can be had from an all island approach. Economically this will make sense, socially it is harder to achieve. If there are other demoninations or cultures that enter that equation then so be it. They too must be convinced.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


I am simply trying to demonstrate the leaders who have given all for re-unification

We have always had men to carry the mantle

Booby Sands RIP


Where have you been living for the last 30 years.......in a cave.

I am an active member of Sinn Fein. A political organisation that supports and works for the re-unification of Ireland, for all the people of Ireland, regardless of race, colour, creed etc.

Our pricinples are based on Freedom, Justice, Peace & Equality. The movement has been around for approx 100 years. We have allied parties throughout Europe and America. We have elected politicians in Ireland and in the EU.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


I have spent my life dedicated to the cause of Irish Unity. I have travelled far and wide to spread the word and gain support.

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]

Our struggle is well known trhoughout the four corners of the globe. It has become tarnished in later years due to dissident organisations.

The spirit of 1916 continues to drive us forward in our quest to re-unite what was taken from us.

Padraig Pearse another leader of the 1916 Rising below.....

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]


I disagree with you on this. Polish people ran in the local elections recently in Ireland for a well known political party.

A number of them attend functions and fundrasing events which support the re-unification of Ireland. I was recently asked by a Polish lady if I could get her some T-shirts depicting Irelands struggle to send home to her brothers !

UK, Ireland / What are Polish Peoples Views of a Re-United Ireland [80]

I pray you listen to the speech below of the last words of James Connolly one of the leaders of the 1916 Rising.

A man who lived and fought for the working class people of Ireland.....all religions and nationalities.

You could try battering RN with it a few times. That would knock the cobwebs off it !!

UK, Ireland / How many paddies in Poland? [38]


Yeah heard of it....Paddy, Mick, whatever.

I dont really care how many Irish people are in Poland. Id say if there is work there then you'll find Irish there. What I do care about is how you portray the views of the Irish Nation on this forum.

You would be better placed bringing your splutter to the gates of Leinster House and see where it gets you.........I would hazard a guess at Mountjoy Jail !!

UK, Ireland / How many paddies in Poland? [38]

Thankyou. I would rather be referred to as Irish than to make the assumption that my name is Paddy !!

Paddy Irish man, Paddy English man, Paddy Scotch man.....and thats but to name a few !!

UK, Ireland / Belfast Telegraph won't print my comment. [133]


For what its worth...... I condemn the actions of those responsible for issuing such a threat. They do not represent the views of the majority of people who live in the North.

Shame on them.

UK, Ireland / Belfast Telegraph won't print my comment. [133]


Its harder to decommission the minds of some of these people. That is why it pisses me of when pricks like Revokenice came onto the forum acting like 'Cromwell'. He proports to be an Irish Man. For years the Catholic community in the North were treated like a minority. Forced out of their homes, denied jobs and social housing........and he has the nerve to expect us to support his aims to cleanse Ireland of the Poles......

UK, Ireland / Belfast Telegraph won't print my comment. [133]

Yes there are polish newspapers and weekly magazines available in most large newsagents here.

I have been following this merry-go-round of a thread since yesterday evening but it fails to go anywhere. Maybe we should call in RevokeNice to lend a hand yes/no

There are 3 main newspapers in the North of Ireland;

Belfast Telegraph - predominately read by protestants

The Newsletter - as above

The Irish News - aimed at the cathloic community. I suggest Del Boy you use the media that are more likely to support your voice and would appreciate a dig at the opposition.
