And Walter Mixa is not yet gone. Please go and then in your retirement try to track down all those you humiliated and offer them a gentle hand of true kindness.
In The Irish Times of Monday, April 19 Vincent Twomey writes a comment piece on Pope Benedict.
Kueng's article may well have not been given the time it needed but Twomey calls it 'atrocious'.
He talks about the 'wrong type of reform' of the Vatican Council as being partly driven by the media. But later on to support the pope, he refers to supporting quotes from Pravda.
When referring to something he said about the pope the evening of his election, Vincent Twomey write: "I announced on Prime Times that he would surprise us all".
Most of us 'say', magesterial pronouncements are announced.
The article shows a sense of superiority, just that superiority that has the church in such a terrible place right now. The arrogance and self certainty that is portrayed is truly frightening. This certainly is a man 'preaching down' to us simple people.
Mixa and Twomey have so much in common.
