In recent days Irish newspapers have published exceprts from Catholic parish newsletters. Laughable material.
Does anyone in authority pass any comments on the material, which is absurd and insulting?
If these newsletters carried, for example, clear articulate pieces arguing in favour of the abolition of mandatory priestly celibacy would there be episcopal/provincial silence?
And then on Sunday Pope Francis is quoted as having spoken on the subject of mandatory priestly celibacy.
What at all will they do with the man? Already the spin doctors have been 'making clarifications'.
It's a funny old world. A funnier old church.
