What a pleasure it was on Friday to walk into a sacristy in Frigiliana near Malaga in Spain.
The parish priest so friendly, so normal. No nonsense, no crazy vestments in any of the presses. No meaningless books to sign. A relatively young man, probably in his late 30s. Nor did he ask for my fingerprints. No pretention, no sneering, no nastiness at all. No smart aleck questions or statements. Just niceness. How refreshing and pleasant. Real too.
What a breath of fresh air.
What's wrong at all in Ireland? Huston we have a problem and it seems to be getting worse by the day.
