Germany is in a better place this evening

Seven hours after the resignation of German federal President Christian Wulff most commentators are referring to the moral imperative for the action Wulff has taken.

It certainly puts into relief Irish bishops and provincials who dodged every arrow to remain in their jobs.

This evening Germany is in a better place.

The same cannot be said about the Irish Catholic Church. And that there is no active and real opposition within the church must mean that the apparatchiks have free rein to do as they wish. And that's more or less what is happening.

There is a photograph in the current issue of The Irish Catholic of the new nuncio to Ireland with religious sisters. The picture and the caption tells a great story of where our church is.
