My grandson was christened last weekend in the catholic church in
Ringsend,now i don't have any religion but i went along to the sermon
with an open mind.The Priest greeted us and told us we were very
welcome to the church,he told us that we could take as many photos
as we wanted as it would not bother him.He told us the history of the
oils he was using and added a bit of humour with a few stories that
were funny,so it was very relaxing and i left with a happier feeling
about the church than i had before i went in.All Because of the attitude
of the priest.In a few weeks time i will have another grandchild christened
in Tallaght and already there are warning signals that all is not going to
be the same,the priest told the parents they will not be able to carry
the child into the church as it is the duty of the godparents to carry
the child as on that day the child belongs to the church not the parents.
He also said that if he sees a camera in the church he will stop the
Christening and will not start until the person puts the camera away
It should be great fun with a stupid bollix like that,i can see my short
lived love for the church ending on that day.
