Man crushed to death by giant crucifix dedicated to Pope

I bet he felt a bit cross at the time!

That would be an ecumenical matter.

Or maybe even an ecclesiastical matter.

Its a reference to the Irish sitcom Father Ted.

They manage to train Father Jack (who is always drunk and usually only ever says the words 'Drink' 'Arse' 'Girls' and 'Feck') to answer everything with the words

'That would be an ecumenical matter'

When a bunch of Bishops and other high up people visit Craggy Island to dedicate a Holy Rock.

PBS didn't get that show . Shame, looks funny.

You can find a lot of stuff on Youtube.

And yes, its meant to be a little bit surreal at times.

Besides, it seems not to be an ecumenical matter. Whole thing seems to affect the Roman Church. Now, if crosses start falling on Anglicans or Episcopalians or something, then we should get together for a decade or so of unproductive talks.

They apparently keep trying to remake Father Ted in America, but keep failing to do so. Another unfortunate aspect of life in the States. That, and no plum pudding or pork pies.

Its too Irish really, if they remade it Stateside, the chances are it would never be the same anyway.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Quite true.

Also, I looked it up on Youtube and there were very few full episodes (which is strange because I remember watching a whole load of them on there ages ago), in fact, the only one I see is the one about kicking Bishop Brennan up the arse, so if you can see more, then well done!!

I'm sure there will be the DVDs available in the U.S. anyway.

Looks like I have season 1-3, but only a couple of episodes each. Vicar of Dibley may be on DVD around here, by contrast.

The Vicar Of Dibley, now there's a sitcom where some of the characters wouldn't be too out of place in Father Ted, other than the accent I mean.
