But anyway just on the subject of the great Irish Church architecture that preceded the post Vatican II wrecking ball, I thought I'd put up here a few pics from the Parish Church of Trim, where I was at mass today, built I think about 1910.

Yes unfortunately you are right, around that time and since there has been some very bad architecture, not just Church buildings. Just before that though the Catholic built some great buildings in Ireland, for example Galway and Mullingar Cathedrals.

No I don't believe so. The financial arrangement goes the other way there, 'Peter's Pence' goes from the Diocese to the Vatican.

There were plans to build a Cathedral in Merrion Square, which they owned too I think, but Archbishop McQuaide scuppered that because he thought it would be better to spend the money on Catholic schools and hospitals.

Btw just to clarify, there are still a lot of these protests continuing around Ireland, like tractor go slow protests on many roads and walking marches. You can see some mentioned on twitter and I bumped into one march today in Cavan town, but the mass media in reporting this have exited stage left!

Obviously you and HR don't usually get on well!lol

But I anyway am usually against nearly all these developments, because remember at least 95% of the new occupants will be immigrants, thats a hard and fast rule that applies everywhere in Ireland now.

Thats definitely the case Seek, it has nothing to do with the current leadership. For example in Ireland they are busy closing down Dioceses and going on about 'Synodality', meaning they are hoping to copy the Anglican way of dissapearing into oblivion, but you would never hear anybody say...

But hardly anybody thinks that the current leadership has anything to do with the current revival, in fact the 'leadership' wouldn't claim that themselves, either in Rome or in Ireland. The whole atmosphere among that leadership is a kind managed decline, they are almost embarassed to see this...

Andrew Bridgen, who seems to have good sources, is saying the economic crash might come around this October. I don't know when myself, but I totally agree with the above where its stated that that game is rigged and we will crash if and when they want a crash, not sooner or later than their plan.

But what they do is very far from what I believe or practice. For example the White House has a spiritual adviser who is massively removed from say traditionalist Catholic doctrine. You know Bertrand Russell was from one of the most important Occultic families in England and I wouldn't be...

Some gossip from Brazil: "As I mentioned in another discussion, there has been a true Catholic revival across Brazil. Last year, the most-watched streamer in the country was a Carmelite friar and preacher who prays the Rosary daily at 4:00 a.m. alongside millions of people. Even celebrities...

Ok, take this analogy: You have a gang of people going to an interview, they want a job as caretakers for some rich guy and actually he has laid on a flight to bring them to the interview. Flight gets diverted, accidentally but really on purpose, and they land on some seemingly deserted island...

Absolutely Perry, mass immigration has sunk them with regard to the urban and youth vote and the likes of hauliers/farmers see them, correctly, as unsympathetic to small businesses.

Well I have tried to anyway: http://www.orwellianireland.com/proofs.pdf .
