God damn backward Catholic Ireland trying to convince him he's wrong. You were dumb if you believed in nothing then according to this crap. The irony of how we have changed. Atheism is now the normal. He deserved a better life in our modern time. He was ahead of his time in thinking.
In the '50s and '60 my family sent money to the African Mission nearly every month- at least 5 shillings a month. My young sisters used go from door to door in the local rural area collecting pennies for Africa. But I never heard of anyone ever collecting money for Ireland's poor people.
That's because you think in a funnel, you see the struggle of mankind as a national thing and not a global thing, rethink, are you different than me?, than a child in South America?, than a dog from France, no, a true loving Irish person would feed an child because they were first inline and not because they were from Ireland, who cares, it's just a rock.
@@patriciabracken7546 Why blame 'the Church'? Charity is always a free gift, not a human right - fact. So, think that one through, if you 'stuff' the Church (out of spite) that is one less free gift .. to those who need it most.
It's so terrible, we had Mike Wallace in the south who interviewed the poor, then we had a war on poverty which actually started federal aid. It was from his journalism it started a storm of consciousness. I know helpers at food banks, I used to help and never thought I would need them, until I did.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! I'm living in a homeless hostel in Wicklow town. 36yrs of age. And there are worse off than me, people living in tents if they are lucky enough to have one. I lived for a year in a burned out pub in Arklow town the 56 or kitty's as it was called. No power no running water
This has changed, Yürak Hunt , the Catholic Church no longer actually cares about real charity, and the bloody hard and thankless task of delivering it, 24/7 - to all who ask. It cares about Social Justice Political Issues, being thought of as a new swinging 'merciful' group, or just fitting its few remaining grey hairs into secular Ireland - and its Agenda. So just blame the old-time Catholic Church for all your problems .. and you'll find a lot more sympathy from the comments here.
I lived in the wild. Built my shelter, trapped or gathered my food from nature, with only a handful of simple items. I don't understand why people don't see that being homeless is often a mental illness caused by depression or other issues derived from suppression by big industry or social disassociation from life experiences. We can survive without having things(shelter, food, water, electricity, funds,etc) provided for us if we know how to provide the necessities for our selves. Water, shelter, food... these are basic needs, so if you can provide these three for yourself(even just out in nature) you'll be just fine, and richer for experience after you struggle. Homelessness is the symptom of HOPELESSNESS. Sort of Apathy. At least from one perspective...there are plenty.
Sorry to hear that. I have never been homeless myself (at least not yet), but from what I see and hear, been homeless now is much worse than what it was 50 years ago. At least back then, there were Christian organisations which would help feed and try to give shelter for people on the streets, and even if you were outside on the street at night, it was safe. Nowadays, it's dangerous to be homeless because of the violence. People get stabbed to death or burned alive in tents or in their sleeping bags. Also, nobody give people money to the homeless because they have this notion that every single homeless person is a drug addict. I think this is completely wrong. Yes, there is a handful that are, but for the rest, they are good people who have been abandoned by society or their families. I try to give a euro or two to homeless people here and there when I have money myself (i'm on the dole for over a year now only getting crap money due to my depression destroying my chances of getting employment somewhere) and when my parents and my sisters are not with me or around (because they are the same as everyone else in society, they judge me and tell me that i'm stupid and am feeding their drug addiction that they are (in their eyes) bad people which is not true. My family tell me that 'They are homeless because they are on drugs or they are a bad person and their families don't want them. Even if they are (which is not true for most), they should be helped than be thrown to one side to basically die or go insane. I know i'm not good person, but I try to do a good deed when I can, even if it's only to give a quid or two to a homeless person on the street.
Mass in the 60's for most people was a fashion show and a show of status. People in jobs dictated by their allegiance to religious practice went to mass as a duty. Those who were either at the margins or economically independent of the church, few in 1960, did not bother with Mass.
Hostel accomadation and help is "encouraging " people to be homeless, Gosh the attitude to homelessness was very harsh in those days. And what is the relevance in whether they go to mass or not. I'm a spiritual woman but still I don't see the relevance in that.
1960's Ireland, it is surprising he even cared enough to make a documentary. He was a priest in McQuaid's Ireland, even a sympathetic one can't have been all that understanding/kind.
Kid across the street,it was actually Hugo Boss who designed the Nazi uniforms,think you'd agree by comparison with other countries kit Nazi uniforms had style. Pity about the rest of their behaviour.
There you go, shut up and listen to an Irishman, the men have the ability to speak intelligently , it may be that the irish dialect and way lend itself. Modern days Im am unsure, Bless the fathers and the Brothers , that know whats what, and in truth they have learned over the years to listen till they hear more, God Bless Dublin .
Accents & turn of phrase fascinate me, from decades past. The voices are soft, rounded and well spoken. The likes of Radharc will never put out a comprehensive vista of their recordings for public viewing, because a lot of what was filmed is still, heavy with meaning and social clout. With the gift of hindsight, we can use that clout to turn the country away from very strange men and women in religious smocks..
How hypocriteical was that, ya there will always be a lower rung on the ladder as long as the catholic church is around in ireland , in modern time's ireland will take in the worst Europe and Africa has to offer, make's me sick to think about it, the loaves and fish thing at the very end was the final nail in the coffin for me, the more things change the more they stay the same. Ireland sold out it's fishing rights to join the e.u. , people don't need to be reminded Ireland is a small island, and the last thing a island should do is sell it's fishing rights.

They're caught in a loop of deprivation, one thing leads to another. Some have alcohol problems, others have personality disorders, suffered abuse or have had terrible luck. No one can judge these men, they need assistance not condemnation.

Most of that money probably never made it to poor Africans

A palpable realism in this journalism, reality laid bare as best they could from those interviewing and interviewed.

5mins and 30seconds that man was years ahead in his thinking for the average Irish person. He had no fear of the church obviously.
Clearthinking man, . So sad..
I admired him for that.
@Irishrs Profound man. He seemed to get the 'class' nature of the Church; and he was a thinker.
You say ahead but its a bloody bleak and deathly hole to be in. I'd prefer to be at least looking for something else at least
Yes, he was one of the earlier ones to be wrong about the existence of God.
Im on the bottom rung. Thats so sad. I didnt know or think about these people before. Its just sad.
Here we are 64 years later and nothing has changed
Many thanks. That soziologist at 8.23 is great. Hard to believe such wise heads existed in the shithole at that time.
The ending is chilling as I sip my beer and smoke my ciggy
50 years it hasn't changed

i dont think Alcohol Anonymous was introduced to many of the men in that part of Europe or that part of the world. .
The guy at 5:30. Very brave man .To say things like that back in 60s Ireland was a big thing. The nuns were dressed like Nazis.

I think you don’t know how nazis dressed.
So undertakers are dressed like Nazis then and the All Blacks are dressed like Nazis? Someone's been watching too much Father Ted.

homelessness is a charity , or more aptly a cottage industry
