Nor of his church without meaning or faith,
For the foundation stone of his temple
Was the bollocks of Henry VIII Brendan Behan”

“If I was willing to serve Mass, it was in memory of my ancestors standing around a rock, in a lonely glen, for fear of the landlords and their yeomen, or sneaking through a back-lane in Dublin, and giving the pass-word, to hear Mass in a slum public-house, when a priest’s head was worth five pounds and an Irish Catholic had no existence in law.”
― Brendan Behan, Borstal Boy
