Someone has referred to the author of this blog as a 'so-called religious'.
The late Charles Haughey referred to an Irish Dominican as a 'so-called priest'. Not a bad tradition to follow!
It certainly is a good put-down line but it also portrays all the arrogance that is intended. CJH was an expert in that particular art form.
And just as Fianna Fáil from time to time thinks it owns Ireland, the Catholic Church in Ireland thinks it owns God. It is something that percolates right down to the lowliest cleric.
If it were not so sad and pathetic it would be hilariously funny.

I suspect the 'someone' you refer to, maybe one of many devotees of the late CJH (God rest him !)and his party! Wasn't it CJH himself, who described one of his chosen disciples as 'the most cunning, the most devious of them all'? It would seem that your 'someone' may have taken a leaf out of his political master's book !! I'm sure the late CJH would have encouraged you to feck the begrudgers and carry on regardless! No doubt he would have admired your attempt to challenge the status quo! Keep up the good work, Michael.
Michael,
I would hate to think that only 'nice' complementary comments would appear under your new rules. It would make for a much less interesting blog----and of course, keep up the good work!
