Fr Ted was actually a pretty accurate portrayal of this country back in the day. Imagine the parents presenting you with this and sending you off to listen to it.

  1. Saw it in a record shop a while back, was getting the bus to Dublin for a gig and didn’t want to be carrying it around all day so I passed on it and it was gone when I went back. One of the bigger regrets I’ve had in life.

  3. It was nothing like Fr. Ted back then. People took the Angelus seriously and felt genuine guilt for whacking off to Holey Mary. Beads were almost never used correctly.

  4. This was Francis’s first solo output after he thought he was bigger than everyone else in the band. It was a flop, delighted for the big headed prick.

  6. Isn’t clear to me from the title whether that recording was intended for teenagers, or dodgy priests?

  7. It’s a jesuit priest, those were called the soldiers of the Faith back when i was a novice at a monastery for a while. Big ego’s and selfrighteousness abundant.

  8. I think this is an American Catholic thing.

    In Ireland they’d have never countenanced the questions. Sex didn’t exist after all.
