In today's Irish Times Brother Shaun O'Connor is reported to have said that fans who attend a match due to take place on Good Friday can no longer call themselves Catholics and can expect to face the wrath of God.
If the report is accurate and the man said that, is there a bishop, a religious superior who will call the man in and tell him not to say such silly things?
There might well be need for a discussion on the issue of the match on Good Friday but the nonsense of what Brother O'Connor says needs to be corrected at once.
It is this mindset that continues to make the Catholic Church sound so sad and silly.
Hopefully a bishop will speak out and act as a Christian leader.
