Politics, fear and a new missal

Is the political debate becoming an irrelevancy? It is possible that we are getting closer and closer to civil unrest?

All levels of society are being greatly affected and people are afraid.

Anyone who reads Hans Fallada will get an idea why the Germans are so scared of inflation and depression.

Sound bites and political scoring seems so inappropriate right now.

And in the midst of this terrible crisis the Irish Catholic Church is about to print a new missal.

It is a shocking statement of how unconnected the hierarchical church is with the people.

The new missal is an appalling vista that is being visited on all English-speaking countries by Rome. It appears that no other language has been required to make a literal translation of the latin text. This all smacks of deckchairs being moved on the titanic. It will hasten the day of an elitist church for the few, not a broad haven for the many. Indeed it would appear that in the view of some, Christ did NOT die for all but for some.
