The NO side had an excellent campaign, posters everywhere and won the first televised debate, last week, with excellent speakers.
Unfortunately, the reasons are the usual nonsense that IRE is behind the times, why aren’t we like everyone else, we’re so backward, women are treated dreadfully in IRE, they should have a ‘choice’, all flying off to the UK to get abortions, ad nauseam.
At the sermon, at mass this morning it was simply stated that the Church, in the past, has always been strongest when it’s on its knees.
Extremely disappointing, but it’s the ‘me, me, me’ generation, everything’s PC and everybody can ‘choose’.
