According to a report in today's Irish Times, a new website was launched in St Patrick's College Maynooth yesterday by the Catholic bishops.
According to the report it is a new website for 'the faithful'. That word 'faithful' has worrying undertones to it.
The address is http://www.catholicbishops.ie/ and not http://www.catholic-bishops.ie/ as The Irish Times reports. Why would a website that is inviting Catholics to read it and feel easy with it use the word 'bishops' in its title? Strange and worrying but not new.
Because 'everyone is doing it' doesn't make it correct and even the Catholic Church would go along with that idea. So please, web editor try to avoid split infinitives!
The introductory page with 'Catholicireland' emblazoned on it is not terribly appealing and the content page is boring.

Michael,
On this issue you are showing extreme paranoia.
Lapsed Catholic
Paranoia sounds serious enough but 'extreme paranoia'. If it is what you perceive then that's the perception.
Should I be paranoid about the anonymity?
Thank you for your comment.
