The damning report and the invisible bishop

On the day after the publication of the Cloyne Report it is difficult for any normal person to remain composed.

Where was John Magee yesterday?

He was quite visible and public when he was prancing around in that ever so clerical manner when he was working in the Vatican. And all the talk and all the nonsense that went with the job. Back then it was excruciatingly embarrassing listening to the lore, watching the dress and all the clerical gestures that goes with that particular terrain.

It is also worth noting that on the day of the Cloyne Report the website entry for one religious order is -"Today is Wednesday of the 15th week of the year".

More nonsense but an interesting insight into the mindset of the clerical caste.
