Alan Dukes has called for the resignation of all bishops in Ireland.
It would make more sense if he asked for a change in the method of appointment of bishops worldwide.
It is most worrying that a significant number of today's bishops were appointed by John Paul ll. It was John Paul ll who promoted the founder of the Legionaries of Christ.
The system and environment in which bishops are appointed needs a route and branch change.
The blatant careerism of priests and bishops is worrying. Already it is clear that some bishops have already begun to throw shapes hoping to be the next archbishop in Armagh. Distasteful, undignified and another proof that nothing has changed.
When these men appear to speak 'lofty' words one is forced to smile.
