Is anybody here getting as excited as I am with regard to the announcement that The Eucharistic Congress of 2012 will be held in Ireland?
1932 revisited?

Exactly - just like what currently happens directly outside some churches during a "solemn" rolleyes novena...
I support the libertarian view that people should are entitled to freedom of choice (within limits) in practicing their religion. I don't suppose this will stop a lot of oul' anti-Catholic guff from commentators who have no business commenting on Catholic affairs, which I must say I do find irritating, but it's all gentle enough stuff.
i Think That It Will Look Like Something From A Father Ted Episode.

Why have they 'no business' commentating on something newsworthy, isn't that their job ? Or is it that they have no business doing so when the commentary is not fawning and 'respectful enough' ?

Read my post.
It's the anti-catholic guff that irritates me. The Catholic church is by far the most popular target in our media for intellectually lazy, anti-religious pap masquerading as news coverage and critical commentary. It gets tedious.
What limits? The standard Libertarian caveat is that people can do whatever they want as long as it doesn't harm the person or property of other non consenting parties (or minors). Obviously the laws of the land may also circumscribe what's allowed in practice. Do you mean this or something else?I support the libertarian view that people should are entitled to freedom of choice (within limits) in practicing their religion.
It's certainly not one way traffic. The Catholic Church are happy to meddle in public affairs when it suits them. For example fighting tooth and nail to retain control of "national" schools and attempting to influence Government policies (e.g. on partnership, social, justice etc. issues) via self appointed bodies such as CORI and individuals such as Father Sean Healy. If it's OK for them to do this then surely it's OK for "outsiders" to comment on them and what they do?It's the anti-catholic guff that irritates me.
