Kevin O'Connor's article in yesterday's Irish Times obliges the reader to ask is there a nexus between all of this horror and mandatory celibacy. It certainly must have something to do with it. And while we hang our heads in shame, what wisdom and honesty is being contributed to make any sense of celibacy?
What sort of training courses were in place for those men and women who caused such mayhem? Who were the people in charge?
Who is 'forming' the current group of men and women who have decided to become sisters, priests and brothers?
Should all such formation courses be validated by the State? Why not?
