This guy is a dangerous zealot who is literally willing to assault a member of the clergy because they don't agree with his warped version of Christianity.
He's no different to any other religious extremist but because he's a white Christian he keeps getting more chances.
BREAKING: Enoch Burke confronts Archbishop John McDowell in Armagh - “A traitor to the Church of Ireland ethos”
Today Enoch Burke, the teacher who was suspended from the Church of Ireland’s Wilson’s Hospital School in Co. Westmeath, confronted the Primate of All Ireland, Church of Ireland Archbishop John McDowell at his Cathedral and See House in Armagh.
Archbishop McDowell acts as Patron of Wilson’s Hospital School. In 2022, the School commanded all teachers at the school to refer to a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. Enoch Burke refused to do so. He was suspended by the Board of Management.
Enoch Burke today asked the Primate why he had been silent while he had languished in prison for over 700 days. “I have languished in a prison cell for upholding the Church of Ireland ethos,” he said, “and for refusing to forsake Scriptural truth. What do you have to say about the Archbishop? You are silent, your lips are sealed.” He noted that the Church of Ireland doctrine that the Archbishop is sworn to uphold is “man and woman, male and female.”
Archbishop McDowell first attempted to flee the scene. He then walked out of the gates of the Cathedral and into his residence, the See House, saying he was “going about his lawful business” and refusing to provide any answer. He was accompanied by the Dean of the Cathedral who sought to shield the Archbishop from answering questions. “Look at this man, his lips are silent; this is what he does, this is what he gets away with while this [transgenderism] is being promoted in every school, in Wilson’s Hospital School,” Enoch Burke said, “You will not get away with that Archbishop McDowell.”
The encounter ended when Archbishop John McDowell and his Dean disappeared into the See House and slammed the door.
Archbishop John McDowell is the reason why Enoch Burke has spent over 700 days in prison and counting. The people of the Church of Ireland should not be deceived by this man who is sworn to maintain the Church of Ireland ethos and doctrine but is silent when the affirmation of transgenderism is forced upon the teachers and students of Church of Ireland schools.

It isn’t just.
He was dismissed for his actions against the school principal and then jailed for multiple breaches of a court order.
The same would apply to any citizen and rightly so.
Had a procedure on my scalp yesterday and have six stitches as a result. They’re very itchy but I’m resisting the urge to scratch.
Excellent way to spend a few hours over the Bank Holiday weekend

“teacher-bashing has become so normalised in society...the loudest criticism often comes from those who have little understanding of what the job entails. If some of our harshest critics spent 24 hours walking in a teacher's shoes, their perception of the profession would change”

Our youngest of four sons has left the nest and moved in to college accommodation in Queens University Belfast. So excited for him starting this new chapter but I miss him so much. Hope he has lots of fun adventures.
