I remember in past years units refused to give an eyes right when passing reviewing stands on Paddys day parades if it was known that a SF councillor or TD would be on the reviewing stand. However the honour is rendered to the office rather than the person
On the parade that after noon the car crews did not render honours to the reviewing stand and the army did not have an officer on the stand either.
It was a slur on the office but no greater a slur that the cnut holding the office had placed on it by taking office.

Remember the DFRs probably orginally date from the 1920s, it requires a Ministerial decision to change them and the Church was held in higher regard at the time.

If you started, fair enough.
If you and those like you have been doing it for 2000 years and are still held in high regard by the state, and other nations.. thats a whole other thing completely.
The same honours are rendered to all religious, regardless of faith or creed.

Its weird, If I started going round on my own talking to someone you cant see and I say I can feel their love, and that they love us all, I'd be regarded as a mad man.
But if I did it with 100 or more, no, its a religion

Regardless of the circumstances, it is very different to decide that protocol now excludes certain members of the community it once included in ceremonial entitlements.
Unless that person is GUILTY of a crime within the state, there is no justification for withdrawing the rendering of honours.

Im in agreement with steyrfan but even if the church was in good standing, they should not get any sort of goh or ceremonial duty done by the df for them
