A cleric was overheard saying, 'we will get the media' yet. Of course a comment like that can be brushed aside. On the other hand it might well be saying something worthy of discussion. Many media people say horrible and nasty things about the hierarchical church.
Is the current turmoil the playing field for a battle that has been simmering for a long time?
Has it all something to do with territory and power and control?
Vincent Browne talks about not giving people titles. He argues titles give people power. That's true.
Maybe for many devout Catholics the dress of the pope was a given. Is there something strange about an octogenarian wearing red shoes?
Whatever about the pope and his clothes, the dress of many young clerics is surely worrying to many people. What is it Shakespeare says about clothes?
