Rc Church Wants "hokey-cokey" Banning From Football Matches

Featured Replies

(Times Online--Hokey Cokey is 'faith hate crime'). Peter Kearney, a spokesman for Cardinal Keith O'Brien, leader of the Catholic church in Scotland, said: "This song although apparently innocuous, was devised as an attack on and a parody of the Catholic mass."

According to the church, the song's title derives from "hocus pocus". The phrase is said to be a Puritan satire on the Latin "hoc est enim corpus meum", or "this is my body", used by Catholic priests to accompany the transubstantiation during mass.

Apparently this sensitivity is fairly new as there is no record of them previously being offended by fair minded non-sectarian Celtic fans singing pro IRA songs.

In a joint statement "Bhoys can't be bigots" sympathiser G. Adams and media stereotype Rangers supporter Andy McBigot said "It's always them shitstirring b*st**ds, they have a hidden agenda", before police intervened.

Sorry, just to clarify, only the first two paras are from Times online the other two are me.

Obvioulsly a lot of free time on his hands now less and less people go to church, to follow this backwards religion...........i was christened Roman Catholic so im allowed to criticise.

I'm closing this now. Religion should stay out of football. And I'm protestant and a Rangers fan.
