The anti-clerical ‘Count Me Out’ inflates the importance of Ireland’s rotting Catholic Church, says JASON WALSH

BY NOW even Osama Bin Laden in his cave in Afghanistan must know the story of Irish Catholicism’s collapse: it seems that a few too many priests were disrobed and not nearly enough were defrocked.

Although Church attendance hasn’t flatlined there is a growing movement of people, called ‘Count Me Out’, who want their lapsed Catholicism to be noted by the Church hierarchy. Count Me Out provides people with a simple way to demand the Church accepts that someone is no longer a member of the religion.
