Irish broadcaster Maia Dunphy admitted to “lighting the touchpaper” after a discussion she ignited on Twitter about First Holy Communions went viral.
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant took to Twitter to ask whether First Holy Communion ceremonies were hypocritical for non-religious households, sparking fiery debate on the platform.
Many of Maia’s followers agreed with her view that the religious celebration had become too excessive in nature, although others pointed out that it acts as a rite of passage for children in spite of their relationship to religion.
