Hasn’t Sinn Fein pretty much been infiltrated and taken over by Marxists/far leftists? If so, then it’s hardly surprising that they would be against the Church (I suppose they consider “Catholics” more of an etho-national group than the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church).

As for Sinead O’Connor - she’s like an Irish version of Madonna - a fallen-away Catholic '80’s has-been looking for attention.
 
This topic is about as interesting as watching beige paint dry. This story is from April of 2010.

YAWN!
The press release from the Catholic League is from September 26, 2011. The story is current.

Fears grow for Sinead in Pope threat

Saturday September 24 2011

SINEAD O’Connor sparked widespread anger today after suggesting she would shoot the Pope.

The controversial singer warned of a “f ***in bloodbath” if Pope Benedict was to visit Ireland. The threat is the latest in a string of comments made by the troubled singer on the internet which have led to concerns among friends over her state of mind.

Reacting to a radio poll on a potential visit by the Pope, O’Connor – who caused worldwide fury in 1992 when she ripped up a photo of Pope John Paul on US television – warned that there would be a “f **kin bloodbath”. “‘Young people of Ireland I love u’ said Sinead as she pulled the f ***ing trigger,” the singer wrote on Twitter.

“There’d be a f**kin bloodbath. Me meet the f **ker off the plane myself,” she added. One senior bishop today described the comment as “extreme” and pleaded for “those around Sinead to help her.”
 
Thanks for the explanation - every time I think I have Irish politics figured out, someone always points out something new (why can’t they just have a centre-right and centre-left party, with a couple others further out on the spectrum, like everyone else 😃 ). And I don’t have a problem with socialists arguing their position as an economic system (even though I disagree with its effectiveness as an economic system) - what bothers me is that they almost always attack traditional family social values and traditions. Glad to see you’re an exception to the latter!
