!"To celebrate the Rising is to celebrate their anti-democratic elitism and bloodlust.""
The opinion of a Jesuit Priest - a minority of - what exactly?
Had Ireland not risen, Britain would have exercised its right to send
Irish youth to the front.
On the first day of the Somme, a matter of a few weeks of the rising, over 19000 young British men lost their lives and 8,000 were wounded - in one day.
Now that's what I call "bloodlust".
Fr Murphy's Church supported the war calling for "Irishmen to support Catholic Belgium".
Catholic Belgium was responsible for the deaths of 10 million Congolese and the amputation of hands of unnumbered plantation workers
Bloodlust or what?
