[What follows is a powerful and passionate response to Ireland's recent betrayal of its Catholic heritage, written by my friend, Jim Dooher, a cradle Catholic.
He spent 20 years as a psychiatric social worker and provided individual, marriage and family counseling services. His letters to the editor have been published in local and national newspapers, secular and religious. Jim is a staunch defender of the right to life and currently serves as Secretary for the Syracuse Right to Life Association. He has been a Lector and Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion for over 30 years.
Jim is a fearless and outspoken defender of the Catholic Faith and a warrior in the fight to save souls.]

My
eyes are red, my soul cries out, my mind is confused, my heart is broken.
Ireland! My beautiful Ireland! the resting place of my Catholic heritage, the
legacy left to me by my ancestors. I held out hope for you twice in 3 years.
Oh, how you disappointed me! How could you betray my Catholic heritage?! How
could you betray my ancestors?! How could you betray your country?! How could you
betray St. Patrick? How could you betray your Catholic Church?! How could you
betray those helpless human beings within the womb?! How could you betray God?!
First,
you voted for sodomy in the form of same-sex 'marriage' to place it on the same
level as traditional marriage which God created. You voted to make a mockery of
marriage. Was it Political Correctness that you had in mind? Was it a sincere
belief in the false anti-god LGBTQ Movement whose tentacles have 'imprisoned'
you? Was it sympathy for the gay community? These are all decoys to rob you of
your own humanity by seducing you into inhumane actions...having used your vote
to persecute the Sacrament of Marriage. Is your vote your statement that what
was once correct, what was once traditional, what was once a Sacrament, what
was once Moral was only a sham? Was all for naught? How could you, Ireland,
betray yourself by falling for a false god?!
