We shouldn’t throw out our religion as well

OUR recklessness and tendency to ignore the little things has cost us dearly in every sphere, most recently with the loss of our sovereignty.

Religious tolerance was a long time coming, but having taken it to our hearts, we have reached the point where it seems unacceptable to have any symbol or image of our Catholic faith appear in the public domain, although we are still a Catholic country.

The images now accompanying the evening Angelus on RTÉ are but one small example of this; a dizzying array of every kind of activity, designed to distract from its intended purpose.
