The report carried in today's Irish Times and carried on the wires re the Alive free newspaper is profoundly sad. It would be hilariously funny if it were not so depressing and serious.
But maybe this is the opportunity for people to speak out and be loyal to the truth.
It would be easy to use adjectives to describe the magazine. Xenophobic and hate come to mind.
But those words seem to give a new 'oxygen' to the free sheet.
What is particularly frightening about it is that it represents a growing tendency within the Catholic Church in Ireland. Yes, it is a one person band, who has extreme views. But unfortunately he has his supporters.
Imagine if it were telling a left wing story? Long ago it would have been closed down by the editor's superiors.
Is this where we are? How terribly sad.
