Senoufou BS: Abortion 8th amendment referendum, Eire (134* d) RE: BS: Abortion 8th amendment referendum, Eire 29 Apr 18


I think I mentioned on a thread last year about having met and spoken to 'Father' Anthony McSweeney several times when I used to attend mass near Norwich. He was the most arrogant, entitled, unfriendly person I think I've ever met. Really domineering and unpleasant. He was eventually convicted of child abuse and was a rampant paedophile.

The thing is, his Bishop had quietly moved him from the Hounslow diocese where he'd been abusing boys in a residential home, and sent him to Norwich in a massive cover-up. He was even Chaplain to Norwich City Football Club.
His homilies were full of strict admonitions and advocation of morality and self-control (!!!); looking back, the hypocrisy was so appalling it beggars belief.
I know there are probably many many lovely priests around, but really, the idea of any religious bloke telling women what to do (no, ordering them!) makes by blood boil.
And my husband has told me of imams who denigrate women and bang on about the rules and regulations pertaining to their role in Islam. So it isn't just the Christian point of view that needs challenging.
