Church Is Swallowed Sinkhole In UK

April 4 2014

SNIKEY! When the Hand of God is removed from a church, we know we are in deep Bandini!

A giant sinkhole has appeared on the peak of holy mountain, Croagh Patrick causing the church to collapse and disappear, The Mayo News can exclusively reveal. A section of the  roof is the only part of the oratory, built by local men in 1905, that is now above ground and visible. 
Experts say ‘a spate of sinkholes all over the country’ are the result of the recent extreme weather which has  had catastrophic consequences along the west coast, leading to a whole herd of cattle vanishing on the Erris penninsula and a  a holiday home near the village of Louisburgh disappearing without trace.    
Emergency services were called to the holy mountain, whose pyramidal peak dominates the skyscape,  shortly after 8am this morning (Monday) after a regular pilgrim made the dramatic discovery. Retired teacher, Mr Donnchadh Ó Móráin, from Dunfanaghy in County Donegal, said he normally climbs the 764-meter high mountain twice a month and that when he reached the summit around 7.30am it was – as is often the case – engulfed in rolling mists and he initially ‘didn’t notice the giant crater where the oratory used to be’.
“I was exhausted after the climb and stopped for a few minutes, looking out over Clew Bay, to catch my breath and rub moisturiser into my feet. I thought I was seeing things when I turned around and noticed the oratory had vanished  into the ground. So naturally, I knelt down and said a prayer, just in case I was in the middle of some kind of miracle,” Mr Ó Morain told The Mayo News.
