The Taoiseach's mother is an Irish catholic and his parents agreed to have him brought up catholic. I presume he is baptised.
He went to a catholic national school and a church of Ireland fee paying secondary school. Thanks Wikipedia.
I recall various comments he made in the past about not attending mass as regularly as he should. The exhaustive research continues.

I saw Simon Harris go to a funeral mass on RTE yesterday. I wonder does he present himself for communion given his pro abortion fanaticism ?
[/quote]I'd be very surprised if he didn't.
I remember, at my wedding, my brother (who was best man), and is not a believer, told me rather sheepishly that we would not be able to receive Communion in good conscience. I told him he was doing the right thing and it was much more respectful than taking Communion when you don't believe-- eating and drinking your own destruction, as St. Paul tell us. How many of the self-declared Catholic politicians actually believe in the Real Presence? (Ironically, if they don't, that might give them less culpability for profaning it.)

Wider blame must be assigned to the Church that has practically ceased to teach clear doctrine and moral standards in our time. Similarly clergy on the ground do not deny the Eucharist to politicians who pushed through our butchering of children laws. One priest to date has refused but I believe his bishop sorted him out in private to discourage the others as the saying goes.
Simon Harris is I think perfectly aware of his status. He is intelligent. His recent wedding did not include a mass simply the nuptial rite. Our religious media missed that .
