It might be an interesting exercise to compare the much publicised meeting between Pope Benedict and the Irish bishops with the upcoming meeting between the pope and the head of the Catholic church in Germany.
The Germans get to see the pope within days of scandal hitting the media. The German meeting will be between the president of the German Bishops Conference and Pope Benedict.
With the Irish visit, each bishop had a seven minute talk with the pope. What can someone say in seven minutes?
Different strokes for different folk.
