The Daily PollTHE ANGELUS IS a one-minute Catholic reflection that is aired daily on RTÉ Radio at 12 noon and 6pm, and on RTÉ One at 6pm, since the inception of the public service broadcaster.
After the publishing of the Mother and Baby Home Commission report on Tuesday, people have begun arguing that RTÉ should stop playing the Angelus twice a day.
But some people have said that the Angelus has become a more secular moment of reflection; RTÉ haven’t used religious imagery for their televised airings of the Angelus for over 10 years.
So we’re asking you: Do you think we should stop playing the Angelus?

Half ten on a Sunday night, and I just did that “Quiz”. Ive just realised I might need to reevaluate how I spend my time……:(
@Gordon Larney: yeah you should have waited til twelve.
@Gordon Larney: ‘Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go/I wanna be sedated/Nothing to do, nowhere to go-o-oh/I wanna be sedated…’
@Gordon Larney: It’s too late now for eleventh hour decisions
@Larry Betts: Or twenty-third hour decisions on a twenty four hour clock…
@Gordon Larney: 03:18
@Gordon Larney: Can’t win them all. I only got six right.

What about Iron Maiden’s “Two Minutes To Midnight”? Do metaphorical references count?
@Ken Loughman:
Ice-T’s “Midnight” is still a banging tune too (nsfw)
@Ixtrix Net: Indeed it is. I thought that they should have included the Doomsday Clock “midnight” as well.
@Ixtrix Net: Apologies – I thought that you were referring to the Iron Maiden song. I haven’t heard Ice-T’s song :)
@Ken Loughman:
I love the Iron Maiden from back then, though were a lot less heavy than my usual metal, they had great tunes. For some reason ’2 minutes to’ reminds me of Beastie Boys – Sabotage intro
Meatloaf-
midnight in the lost and found, dead souls in the hunting ground.
have your say
