Dimanche?

....A dimanche toujours la vérité,to use the mediaeval version of 'en dimanche toujours la vérité' is a good  guide in troubled times because Sunday is a day of rest and prayer,a day of truth. But in the North and South, Saturday after 11.45 am is part of Sunday, part of the day of truth. This 'day of truth' lasts until fall of darkness on a Sunday evening in the English vernacular. 

The rise of secularism? A contradiction in our ever-on-the-go Irish Republic..

The Free State gougers,gurriers and scumbags on the streets and in sports booths at RTE and on musical shows torment their targets even on a Sunday such is the grip of the petty proprietor and publican and tradesman in the South. 

Similarly,not a day of truth for an Evangelical or Christological preacher,pastor or clergyman who is often under a lot of pressure from ungrateful curmudgeons and has to work unsocial hours while being the target of unrealistic expectations...

......the moral being ex mira mira or nothing good comes of being stressed out or of being overworked....

....

Let us hypothesise for the purposes of discernment, 

"You only learn about the truth of the matter and who your real friends and detractors are, in a place of prayer on a Sunday". 

.....

The other side of the coin for the supplicant...say to yourself as your father would,"Pay your dues to the Church and they won't send people to follow you around unless,that is,they want more or think ,"You are good for a few more pounds, shillings and pence. "

....

The nub of the matter with spies such as undercover policemen and the growing number on the Secret Service list....

I say,ask a police spy or clerical witness if they have signed the Official Secrets Act on a Sunday to dispel doubt and......

..... never tell an idler or mouthpiece how much you receive in pay or social security because an idle hand lives by gossip. He is a zapporo-zhets who lives off many people,a more profligate sort of person who has a lot in common with a temple prostitute (see the tale of King Asa,Book of Chronicles).

We will never be free of false religious testimony which originates with gurus and false evangelical preaching until we are free of organised religion and clergymen's fellow travellers,policemen.

As regards the three propositions of my opening paragraph,aren't those three anachronisms the founding values of modern society as it affects many people caught in the cross-hairs of secular and sacred?

"If someone doesn't go into a Catholic Church or talk to you in one, don't have anything more to do with him if you are a Catholic. He is no friend of yours and sometimes,he keeps up a pretence to fool you into thinking that you have something in common with him. Pass no remarks on women anywhere. They only believe in appearances particularly religious women or women who go to church. Be careful about what charities you give to and give politicians and solicitors no money. They're paid by third parties to represent you. Help a friend and he will help you. Have a few good friends and tell fair-weather companions to get lost wherever you meet them."
