A number of auxiliary bishops in Dublin have tendered their resignations. They have done so for a number of reasons. Among the reasons is that they are perceived to have been part of a culture of cover up.
If that be the case and if the Irish hierarchical church is to be honest and indeed logical then surely every bishop in Ireland should resign. Every diocese in Ireland has been involved in a cover up. So why no more resignations?
There is a simple answer to that. The State authorities have not yet caught up on them. And does that not make it all so profoundly sad.
But really, is resignation the answer? It's doubtful.
