Feelings Are Paramount

Very welcome news here that the Government will legislate for #stalking to become a stand alone crime in Ireland. If you have any experience of this like me and live in fear daily, there is light @ the end of the tunnel. Comhghairdeas @unaring4 & @evemcdowell_ on yr tireless work https://t.co/MfAWCnKPvy

Miss "Ireland"

What Great Replacement?

Beauty pageants are always worth a look. They had one in Ireland last week. The winner, the new Miss Ireland, was 26-year-old Pamela Uba, and a bonny colleen she is. Another thing she is, is … black. - @DissidentRight https://t.co/Url0L3GaVZ

She Never Should Have Been Allowed to Become a Canon Lawyer or President

This woman is a canon lawyer who claims that she became one to reform Church law (and doctrine) - and here we are seeing the fruits of that.

Are the secular press listening? Yes. They’re loving it.

Are faithful Catholics listening? Nope. She could not be more irrelevant. https://t.co/RkaFgU8hV4

The Feast of St. Patrick

Friends, though separated by four centuries and though hailing from extremely different cultures, Patrick and Joseph have a great deal, spiritually speaking, in common. Watch to learn more: https://t.co/1nPSws5Nwr

Say a prayer for Ireland and ask for the grace to be open to whatever mission God might have for you. In this way, you will honor the real St. Patrick. And only then, if you like, raise a glass of Guinness and toast a wonderful saint. https://t.co/AuH5VVRW4N

By fixing unevenly on certain aspects of a saint's life, popular devotion can obscure the full breadth of a saint's holiness. This is certainly the case with #StPatrick. His faith and charity merit better attention than what even the best of today's public celebrations give him. pic.twitter.com/YxjgsCeF5g

No doubt the stabbings were done by "Irishmen."

Dublin’s archbishop is warning that Ireland has “become desensitized to knife violence” after a series of stabbings in the country.https://t.co/U7PiJAEwPQ

She was smart, feisty, kind and tolerant. Our Matron Saint Brigid was one cool saint, a woman way ahead of her time and a champion of women. Here’s to all the great warrior women of Ireland present and past. Happy Lá Fhéile Bríde #StBrigidsDay #LaFheileBride #Imbolc pic.twitter.com/75Vg68MqKX

It's Still the 60s

No wonder the Latin churches in Ireland are in trouble...

Bishop Fintan Monahan, he heads the Diocese of Killaloe in Ireland, was introduced to the writings of Thomas Merton in seminary and said the mid-20th century monk appealed to him due to his “contemporary flavor.”https://t.co/10Quvwcnc6

Ruth Smith interview

Real Irish Hate the Movie

Would they give The Quiet Man a pass? They do have a point about the casting and the bad accents -- there are plenty of Irish actors and actresses they could have cast instead. Cultural appropriation? The author of the original play is an American of Irish descent.
