The Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference last evening apologised "for hurt caused by the church" in terms of its role in society's "culture of isolation and social ostracising'" of unmarried mothers.
The Catholic Church has done a lot of apologising in recent years. And most of the apologising has been around issues that stem from the church's ideas, views and opinions on matters dealing with sexuality.
Surely there is a lesson to be learned.
