“One of the biggest problems I found with Irish politics and the economic thing was after the war, after World War II, most of the European countries started to develop economically and socially, but whatever way the Catholic church they took a grip and they almost governed the country. I mean, we were almost like a dictatorship. There is good and bad, but we experienced an awful lot of bad, especially from the institutions that taught children the Christian brothers, etc.” WorldMeanChildrenWarCountryProblemChristianChurchEconomicBrotherCatholicWar Of The WorldsWorld War IiWorld War IDictatorshipGood And Bad Author:Gavin Friday
“The Catholic church had a huge profound influence on me in that as you get older you realize that you can't blame everything; that there is good and bad, and things get misdirected. So I would call myself a black Catholic. I still have this attraction to it because all religions I'm not a fan of. I'm a fan of sort of belief in spirituality. So I would be into Christ rather than the Catholics.” SpiritualityBeliefBlackChristRealizingChurchInfluenceCatholicBlameProfoundAttractionGood And BadBlack Cat Author:Gavin Friday
“Socialism and Communism don't work, but neither does straightforward capitalism. We've got to get a new way of thinking and working. We blew it so there was good and bad about the celtic tiger. But we're tiny. There's four million in the country, do you know what I mean? We're tiny. Four million in a country, how many is in New York? Seven? Ten? But we're strong, so hopefully we pull through.” ThinkingMeanCountryStrongCapitalismSevenSocialismHopefullyCommunismTigersGood And BadStraightforward Author:Gavin Friday
