Two days ago the subject of married priests in the Catholic Church came up. This is not a genealogical issue, it is not a Kerry issue and it is not really an Irish Issue. If you want to post on it, please post on some forum such as Catholic Answers where those kinds of issues are being discussed. But not here. Some of you probably are getting the digest version of the list and probably didn't receive notification in a timely fashion. But let's call it quits right now. Ray Marshall Kerry List

Good Evening All: I hope "Ireland, an America's Cup Contender?" isn't as "off topic" thing, primarily because I'm the curious citizen who thought about the matter initially. A sailboat race certainly has nothing to do with Genealogy, not directly anyway, however it is definitely an Irish issue [considering] and probably also a Kerry "issue" [I'll know more about that on Monday morning when I talk to my boat builder contacts in Fenit]. By the way, the Jennie Johnson was built in the Fenit boatyard. I first visited Fenit in 1967 and was affected by the smells of the place, a mixture of shaved wood, fish oils, the Atlantic Ocean, burning pipe tobacco, rope and soft rain. The last time I was there was in 2001, just before 9-11, a lovely place that. Oh, I wander from the topic - subject. So, I'll make a promise to you all [Ray included] that if the Kerry boatbuilders in Fenit or nearby boatyards had nothing to do with Lipton's Shamrocks, I'll end my reporting on the matter and find something more in keeping with the Kerry List intentions. Good night from Jack Sweeney, in very dark Palmer, Pennsylvania
