According to today's 'Irish Times' Archbishop McQuaid is quoted as getting a 'good Catholic' to talk to a Fr Paul McGennis.
The term 'good Catholic' simply resonates of humbug. It always has.
They spoke about 'good Nazis', 'good communists', 'good Stasi'. And so too they spoke and speak of 'good Catholics'.
Humbug.
In all cases the adjective 'good' can be attributed to those who are subservient to systems and people in charge of those systems.
