The woman at the centre of the infamous Fethard-on-Sea boycott saga died on Sunday aged 83.
It is easy to bash the Irish Catholic Church at present, indeed, one could even say that it is a time of witch-hunts.
But the Wexford story is yet again another example of the appalling behaviour of the hierarchical Catholic Church in Ireland.
A priest told a mother that her child would go to a Catholic school and there was nothing she could do about it. The arrogance of it is breathtaking.
The thread that seems to go through all these sad stories of the behaviour of clerics is that of control. Control too is closely linked with forms of sexual deviance.
