Catholic Priest who allowed an Islamic prayer in church gets confronted by his congregants

  1. They weren’t his congregants; the people of Ballyhaunis are usually very supportive of the Muslim community.

  2. I’m just gonna say this but if you are an adult and you call someone a “heretic” in an unironic or non-historical context, well then you need your head checked.

  3. Biggest joke is that the prayer is probably saying all the same things that any Christian would say, addressed to the same god – it just happens to be in Arabic.

    These protestors need to go learn Hebrew and stop praying in English like a bunch of heretics.

  4. The real public freak out will happen when an Anglican priest is allowed to lead the prayers there.

    It will be bigger than the Kitty O’Shea freak out of 90.

  5. What a nice gesture by the priest. Honest question though, why do people reach for top shelf words like ‘racist’ when they talk about people who shit on Islam, Judaism, etc?
    I get there’s a strong correlation between racists and people who target ‘foreign’ religions. But talking shit about Islam and what not isn’t racist, is it? It’s the same as us talking smack about Catholicism. I’m not racist I just think the minority of people who have a strong religious personality are stupid. Nothing wrong with having a faith, but I wouldn’t kill or die for it, which is what a good few people are prepared to do.

  6. Love the guy counter claiming a quote from the bible.

    Protestor starter pack: camera, “freedom of speech/free country”, paraphrase section of law/GAA rulebook/bible.

  7. Listen to them, heckling a priest and calling him a heretic, you stay classy now lads!

    Quoting the bible and all, give it a rest like.

  8. Ha. I love when religious nut jobs try to
    ” outreligion” each other. Particularly when right wing Christians( Catholics) feud with each other. Catholics in particular taking the high ground makes my day especially knowing that Catholics are mysoginistic, homophobic and avaricious mobs of pseudo Christians.

  9. and this is why im an atheist, religion is just another way to spread violence and abuse to others who dont “believe” in the same bs you do, just let the poor man pray wherever he wants ffs

  10. Well my mosque is going to invite the local church around for iftaar during Ramadan, best not tell this lad or he’ll call us heretics too!
