Irish Dominicans will come together next week to elect a provincial and decide policy for the province for the next four years.
Not for a moment could or should one compare the Irish Dominican province to the United States Democratic Department. But just imagine if someone with the charism and style of a Barack Obama stood up on the chapter floor and spoke charismatically and intelligently.
If someone were prepared to be brave and honest and enunciate where the province is and what could be achievable in the next four years.
Away from all those clerical cliches that say nothing and steer towards an honest realism that would inspire people and push people to work hard together and with purpose.
The chapter begins with a Mass of the Holy Spirit. For that to have any meaning we all have to be capable of listening to one another and helping one another but always in truth.
No whispering.

nothing recently from the snivelling coward(s), I see ... maybe the chapter is keeping him/them occupied.
Indeed, it has been interesting to see how the anonymous people have fallen away into the background.
That is very harsh Michael no 1. I will remain anonymous, but I have nothing to do with the order or it's chapter. Perhaps not all the anonymous are from the order. You are jumping to conclusions there.
I spent yesterday in class explaining the rules of when there is and when there is not an aprostrophe in 'its'!
