Problem is not just bricks and mortar

There is a story emerging that the church visitators to Ireland have made a recommendation that Maynooth be closed.

The visitation is being conducted in the usual church secrecy.

Of course the visitation will be a useless operation like all other hierarchical visitations. There will be elaborate window dressing but no one will ever dare cross that line that spells taboo for every person who has a role of leadership within the church.

Currently there are growing potential disasters developing within the church - right under the noses of priests, bishops, cardinals, pope and nothing will be done.

The problem in the church has nothing to do with buildings.

The dishonest hegemony that exists with the church has to be disassembled long before bricks and mortar are taken down.
