‘Fake nun’ is accused of homophobic slurs in Dublin city centre

  1. Glad to see this lunatic up in court. I’ve said it to my wife the few times we have seen footage that there is no way what she was doing (mostly harassing people) was legal.

  2. Not being funny, but is it against the law to say homophobic slurs/anything derogatory? The follow-up question is obviously should it be?

  3. Years ago we had proper character’s on O’Connell, the dancing lady Mary Smith and the auld one with the cross hitting the priests…. none of this fake nonsense

  4. Does it not seem a bit much that this woman – with serious mental health issues – has her full name, age, photo and *home address* published by a newspaper??

  5. I’ve seen this one flailing about on the ground in Cornmarket.

    I wonder is there a rise I this type of over the top street evangelism since lock down. There’s also that group that carry the big cross about. A few aggressive ones too.

  6. I’m near certain I saw her marching about Belfast singing into a microphone a few months ago. And not the city centre either, she was in a residential area with the speakers blaring and all. Thought it was odd but that was it. The more I hear about here the weirder it gets.

  7. I think it is symptomatic of a healthy democracy and a free society for people to be able to say unpopular things in public.

  8. This is the same balloon who runs about Belfast dressed in brown starting on people, she walked passed me and I said hello sister, then she said you don’t called me sister and that was it she went into one, first class head the ball

  9. What’s a “fake nun”? Is there some sort of government-endorsed license for nun authenticity? An Irish Nun Certification Office in Naas? Is there some special nunnery skill you need to display, an exam perhaps? As I understand it being a “nun” is pretty much like being a “Star Wars Fan”. Someone can just say “I’m a nun and I’m wearing my special nun uniform, watch me do nun stuff” and who’s to say otherwise? Okay, maybe not a Catholic Nun, because there’s an organization behind that, I’m sure they’ve got a trademark or something. But what’s with the editorializing “fake”? If she says she’s a nun, fine shazam: she’s a nun!

    “The accused had an address in Belfast and had no business being on O’Connell Street, the garda said.” What BS is that? It’s a street where people go to hang out and drink and people watch and score heroin and pickpocket. Does she really need official business to be there? I’m all in favour of gay rights etc, but if she wants to go there and tell rainbow people God is angry with them for the way He made them, well okay that’s a strange hateful and self-contradictory opinion but as long as she’s not violent or disruptive she should be allowed to express it. Heck, she might even meet someone who can change her mind.

    **edit:** Did a deep dive into [relevant documentaries]( https://www.grindhousedatabase.com/index.php/Nunsploitation ) and I’d highly recommend them.
