    I wonder will the Marxist rabble who recently had the audacity to gatecrash a Christmas mass in progress at a Dublin Cathedral..an outrage completely ignored by most of the media..to make some point about Israel and Gaza be out feeding the homeless on Christmas day? Somehow I very much doubt it!

    @Jonn: I don’t think that Hamas or their fan clubs are noted for their charitable endeavours, especially around Christian festivals.

    @Thomas Sheridan:
    That’s true! I’m curious why the leftist rent a mob chose a Christian ceremony to disrupt..luck of the draw I suppose? Would they have been as quick to invade a mosque, or even a synagogue,which in the circumstances might have been more aligned with their ’cause’? But like the cowards they are they chose a church,an easy,safe target.

    Quite possibly, the ‘climate crisis’ will have to wait while they fly into Italy for a nice festive break from virtue signalling!

    @Jonn: If Jesus was born now (assuming he was ever born or existed) he would undeniably be Palestinian. Unfortunately, the odds of him surviving today in Palestine might not be very good.

    Jack I 100% support the Palestinians, and denounce everything Israel is doing,it’s an abomination, but still doesn’t explain why these morons thought disrupting a Christmas mass was relevant to their cause?

    @Niall Lappin:
    How come they didn’t rock up to a synagogue waving their Palestinian flags?Probably more appropriate especially given senior Jewish figures in Irelands unquestioning support for Israel and the IDF? Or would the optics not have looked right, easier to pick on the usual whipping boy,the catholic church!

    It’s always funny when people who wouldn’t be caught dead in a church enlighten us with the true meaning of Christianity!

    My father was in the Knights and he used to go to the mansion house every Christmas morning to bring comfort and joy and a fantastic Christmas Dinner to the homeless and make sure they weren’t forgotten about.

    Logion 29 : (L’évangile de Thomas).
    Jésus disait : ‘ si la chair est venu à l’existence à cause de l’esprit,
    c’est une merveille,
    mais si l’esprit est venu à l’existence à cause du corps,
    c’est une merveille de merveille.
    mais moi, je me m’émerveille de ceci :
    Comment cet être qui Est,
    peut-il habiter ce néant ?’
    (CF MT. 21, 41; MC 12, 11 ; JN 1, 14 ; 1 TM 3, 16 ; RM 8, 13 ; 1 CO 5, 3.)
    Translated into French by Jean -Yyves Leloup.
