I have never set foot in Ireland, nor have I ever coomunicated with any member of the Irish clergy. To say that Iam in any way responsible for the situation of the Catholic Church in Ireland is itter foolishness. 

You are merely trying to blow off the fact that the Irish Church's problems must be laid at the feet of the Irish Church and nowhere else. You do not believe in personal responsibility. 

And your singing "Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?" is wholly irrelevant.
