Ireland has voted by a huge majority to legalise same-sex marriage, becoming the first country in the world to do so by popular vote in a move hailed as a social revolution and welcomed around the world.That's close to a 2-1 majority vote.. not even close for the Church in a country that is about 85% Catholic.
Some 62% of the Irish Republic’s electorate voted in favour of gay marriage. The result means that a republic once dominated by the Catholic church ignored the instructions of its cardinals and bishops.
It's becoming clear that fewer and fewer people are going to stand for being lectured on morality by the protectors of pedophiles. That sentiment is probably even stronger in Ireland after the horrors of the Magdalene "schools" became public knowledge.
