Lord have mercy

Lord have mercy,

For the times when I, as an Irish Catholic,

Imposed my morality on other people.

Lord have mercy.

Christ have mercy,

For the times when I, in my self-righteousness and smug arrogance,

Campaigned and voted no in referendums that would have made Ireland a fairer and more honest society.

Christ have mercy.

Lord have mercy,

For the times that I obeyed the bishops and voted as they wanted me to vote

Rather than thinking for myself and following my own honest judgement.

Lord have mercy.

Please vote Yes in the marriage equality referendum.
