The Rest In Peace wall
I’ve heard tell of this before, see if I was the bricklayer. I’d just go fuck the ground up in a line. Take a week or so and go back like “yep, definitely a wall down there for yiz. Here’s my invoice”
How the fuck are they gonna know if there’s an underground wall or not?!
Gotta keep those poor souls safe somehow.
Is this meant to represent sort of stance against sectarianism? If so, maybe skip the blatantly sectarian title.
Nothing out of the ordinary with faiths having people of their religion buried in their own consecrated grounds after religious funerals.
Wait until you learn about Cillini
That Adidas jacket is absolutely sick 👌🏻
I know this fella, Jason Burke. Big into PUL history etc. See he’s doing tours too.
Interesting as a historical fact… but as others have said, if you want to make a point against sectarianism, maybe leave out the sectarian title.
Pettiness over burial grounds is one thing, pettiness over the inclusion of living people is a whole different story. And on that count, the Protestant churches have one for the history books.
None of the majority Catholic democracies in Europe (France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, Ireland, Spain, Italy) at any point in the 19th and 20th century had any kind of legal restrictions against Protestants holding public office or participating in society. All of the majority Protestant ones, with the exception of the Netherlands and Finland (Germany, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Norway) DID have such sectarian laws at some point in modern history.
Sectarianism isn’t a thing that only “themmuns” do, especially not historically. My point here is to illustrate that if you want to make out one side as petty you can very easily do so. (It would be just as fair, then, to point out that before the 19th century the shoe was very firmly on the other foot – Ireland and the UK being the massive exception – and persecution of Protestants by Catholics was far more common than vice versa)
Religions be funny. Was it not until JP2 that babies couldn’t be buried in Catholic graveyards as they had not been baptised or summat ?
Up there with some prods being against booze when Jesus turned water into wine, a ringing endorsement.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
Humpty put a claim in,
No win no fee,
You’re a numpty, Humpty said the judge.
I’d like to think that all knowing God, if he’s up there would be able to know who is protestant and who is Catholic without needing an underground wall to be built.
Idiot religious lunatics. And they’re still just as stupid, today.
There’s a cemetery in the Netherlands where’s there’s a large wall separating the Protestants and Catholics, a couple who were married but different religions were buried beside each other with a large wall in between. Their gravestones were huge and had hands reaching over the wall to touch the other.

Nah, smart move. Grounded. Realistic.
