Unfolding realities in Irish hierarchical church

Patsy McGarry in today's 'Irish Times' writes, "He (Archbishop Martin) indicated that privilege would not be waived where legal advice involving insurance was concerned".

Does this mean that in all cases were separate legal action is pending and there are insurance issues privilege will not be waived?

Imagine how it would be if the Irish church many years ago had gone to mothers and fathers and spoken to them.

Remember this is just the Dublin archdiocese. What's the story in every other diocese and religious order? I imagine horrific. And it is no one per cent.

Back to the Vatican cardinal who said it was one per cent of priests who abused. Will this man be held accountable for what he has said?

Is it possible for an exclusively male organisation to be healthy?

Fr Martin Dolan's comments in St Nicholas of Myra church in Dublin's Francis Street on Sunday as reported in the media appear to be wise words.
Those of you who have seen 'The Lives of the Others' might see a link between Fr Martin Dolan and the young student at the Potsdam Eiche school!

Who is paying for this grand mess?
