Lara Marlow on RTE Radio 1 yesterday reported on a story on Sarah Palin. She made the point that it was difficult to pin point exactly what Sarah Palin stood for. The story was in reference to comments made by the father of her daughter's child.
Of course it is never wise to generalise or make across the board statements but what the Irish Times US correspondent was saying did make sense at least to this listener.
Within the Catholic Church at present there seems to be a growing 'right wing' tendency or development.
I often find myself standing back and asking what exactly 'right wing' priests believe in. Very often the answer seems that they actually believe in nothing and that it is all some sort of gag or sham.
Within religious life I have heard men talk about the importance and value of 'conventual living' and liturgical celebration. I have seen great importance placed on clerical dress. Yet, the same people who speak strongly on these issues can be seen dining out in top class restaurants wearing dress that many would find simply embarrassing and light years away from the clerical dress they recommend in day time conversation.
Could 'Palinism' become a word?
