The frosty relationship between Irish Catholics and the Irish State’s Propaganda Arm has grown ever colder over the course of the past year. As a result, listenership at RTE has completely collapsed.
Much of this stems from the station’s decision to use public monies to accuse Catholics of worshipping a ‘rapist God’ in a New Year’s Eve ‘comedy’ sketch.
In a tweet this week, Education Correspondent Emma O’Kelly reminded people of the occasion when principals ‘defied’ bishops by forcing children to attend school on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Perplexed by the apparent cheerleading of forcing children to attend school rather than take a day off with their families and attend church, Twitter users from around the globe expressed bewilderment with the Irish psyche, with many sarcastically stating that the bishops must have been really terrible to express a desire to give kids a day off from school.
Some of those commenting including author Sohrab Ahmari, who wrote ‘Big L for Ireland’.
