All we have to do is have Mr. McAlleese catch Mary in bed with Herr Ratzinger and the CCL is history. The CCl (Catholic Church Limited, as you call it) IS history - at least in this neck of the woods. As for Maaaary (President McAleese) being found in bed with Benny ... I don't think that's likely:...

my eldest son was born with the help of a forceps. I have no doubt that this was traumatic for him, but as far as I can tell it was fleeting. It is certainly fleeting compared to the potential devastation that oxygen deprivation would have caused him, which would have been the case if he were not d...

Re: Vaccination and autism

My views on this have been shaped by much study of the issues, and are based on the consensus opinions of scientists, psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists and autistic people themselves. It is not my belief that autism is primarily cased by gene...

Re: Vaccination and autism
I think all children are born as perfect humans. I rejected the doctrine of original sin a long time ago. Some children are born into poverty, war, abuse or neglect which clearly has a terrible effect on their development. Children who are born by ceaserian section, or a forceps delivery, or some o...

When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989 and my Irish Catholic acquaintances rubbed their hands together with glee, I asked them why they were feeling so happy?

Re: Vaccination and autism
