It's a simple manoeuvre from one queue to another

How can one be spared the pomposity of many of those speaking about the pope's latest interview?

Did RTE really have to go to the US to talk to a theologian about Pope Francis' interview?

It is interesting to watch and listen to the nomenclature explain how wonderful it is what the pope is saying.

This time last year, this time 10 years ago they were telling us how right and proper it was that it was the function and right of the Vatican to keep a close watch on national churches.

Has an Irish bishop or an Irish theologian of a particular persuasion ever compared the church to a field hospital after a battle?

It is amazing how the ruling classes always manage to fit the role.

I gather Diarmuid Martin is now willing to take on a bit of local responsibility having got the wink from the Pope's interview.

A bit late in the day, but I suppose, better late than never.
