There’s a Father Ted quiz and marathon happening in Dublin for anyone that’s not arsed with the Pope’s visit

Paul Moore

Gather your Father Ted-obsessed mates. They’ve even got a Spider Baby.

God, I love saying mass. While we’ve no clue what the Pope is going to say before he psyches himself up for the big day at the Phoenix Park, we’d like to think that he’s as happy as Father Barty Dunne at the prospect of saying a sermon in Ireland.

This being said, there are always a few Catholics that just couldn’t be bothered with a good mass. Hell, Father Jack doesn’t even believe in God and we all know what happened to Bishop O’Neill.

Faith can be a funny thing.

Anyway, we’re all going to heaven lads. Waaaa-heeey!

If you don’t fancy seeing the Pope’s exceptional chalice work – we hear that it’s the best since Father Alden ‘he gives goooood mass’ Crosby – then The Back Page in Phibsborough, Dublin has just the thing for you.

They’re holding a Father Ted-themed day that’s brilliantly called ‘Can’t Cope, Won’t Pope’ and they’ve got everything you need to celebrate the arrival of His Holiness on August 25 including:

  • Priest Bingo
  • Father Ted Quiz
  • My Lovely Horse Karaoke
  • Tea Tasting Comp
  • Spider Baby
  • MC Pope Sean Paul 18:00pm until late.

Oh yes, they’ve got a Spider Baby that we hope is kept in a pram.

Granted, if anyone is heading along to the Pope’s visit then that’s grand. This being said, we’re not going to see His Holiness out of protest because as we all know, Father Jack should have been Pope but the fecking Jesuits have it all tied up.
