(These are skits about two fictional Irish Catholic priest
called Father O'Brien and Father O'Riely)
A child of the lord
A Daily whine
A direct line
to god
A Goliath exercise
A hang over host
A holly child
A little bit of wine for every one’s sake
A little
knowledge is a complicated thing
A prey for
celibacy
A priest mustn’t be
holly in the physical sense of the word
A secret worth keeping
Advertising the lord
An edited mass
An Un godly mediation
An unsacred fly
Any time of place for
forgiveness
Beastly priestly thoughts
Blessed technology
Business as usual
Christ the Superhuman
Church secrets
Death insurance
scam
Drinking on the job
False accusations
Give to Caesar what is
Caesar's
God the eternal
Hell must be pretty bad
Human
punishment is worse than the lords
I love you
Jesus could have
been
Jesus the good
citizen
Like the lord
Love the lord and only the lord
‘Mass’ the revitalizer
Money matters in the church
On duty
Priestly duties are never done, especially on Sunday’s
Pope politics
Question your faith
Silence is golden
Scare enough to turn you Christian
She the virgin
The Celtics,
the Christians
The
Christians dogs last rights
The church is
not dead
The doubting O’Riely
The dream of the crucifixion
The good book
The Irish dilemma
The Irish priest
The last rights, father O’Riely’s
last meal
The light of the
world
The limbo of life
The lords work is never
done
The next
two thousand years
The return of Jesus, / a
Beurocratic nightmare
The sexuality
of a priest
The
small Mercies of the lord
The winning side
Understandable distractions
