The Dominican Order should be proud today of Tom Doyle's piece in today's Irish Times.
Tom talks about the virus that continues to corrupt the church to the point that the people of God are buried in anachronistic monarchism.
"The Taoiseach's groundbreaking speech buries the destructive myth that the institutional Catholic Church, with its monarchical governing structure, is some sort of superior or exalted political entity with self creative rights to subvert the civic order of any society that calls it to accountability for the behaviour of its privileged class."
Fabulous words and thoughts.
