Colm Toíbín recalls a church of brutality in Wexford

A blessed Easter.

Writer Colm Toíbín was guest on the Miriam O'Callaghan Show this morning.

He recalled his memories of growing up in Wexford and how the Catholic Church behaved. He gave examples of some of the nonsensical and bizarre behaviour. Would they be still doing it today if they got away with it>

It was an awful and terrible behaviour, according to Toíbín.

Shocking terror and nothing at all to do with God surely.

These days the church is simply reaping what it sowed.

Ministers of religion talk about living in secular times and criticising the 'secular world'. Wasn't it always a secular world? It's good to live in a secular world.

What is happening is that the church is losing its temporal power and to that the church should be crying from the rooftops on this Easter Day, Alleluia.
