The war against Pope Francis within the church

The piece below appeared in yesterday's Guardian.

It may at times sound superficial to 'insiders' but it tells a true story.

The viciousness, nastiness, indeed hatred that exists within different factions in the Catholic Church.

It is happening in front of our eyes and in the Irish church too.

People despising one another, and doing it in silence. It is a shocking scenario and one gets a sense of it reading the Guardian article.

There is a nastiness, a slyness within the conservative camp and Pope Francis seems to have raised their shackles to such an extent that they now see him as a 'heretic'.

If it weren't so sad it would be hilariously funny.

The piece is factual, it's true, it's real. It's a great read.
