All kinds of papal things

Mark Devenport | 14:13 UK time, Monday, 12 November 2007

First Martin McGuinness, then Dana. It's more than a by-the-book Free Presbyterian can bear.

Ivan Foster has already made clear his dismay with the power sharing arrangement at Stormont.

Now he's voiced his concern at Ian Paisley's recent get together with Dana, who the outgoing Free Presbyterian leader commended as "a woman of great faith and steel".

The Revd. Foster describes this as "sad reading for all faithful Christians" because of Dana's allegiance to the Church of Rome.

I would like to break it to the Revd. Foster that the First Minister is soon heading off to Rome to witness Archbishop Sean Brady getting his Cardinal's red hat.

I would like to break it to him, but unfortunately I can't, as it's the Deputy First Minister who is going to be part of the Brady Bunch.

I usually like this blog but not if you attack the Rev Foster for expressing his opinion.

I have to agree entirely with RJ. That was a cruel tease, Mark. *wags finger*

Still, anything is possible.

Could you find out why the D.U.P. band did not show up at big Ian's church for the Remembrance Day service last Sunday night, and why the original bugle-player did not show up either? It might be worth asking why, on both counts....... any chance there is rebellion in the ranks???
