Is anything at all changing in the mind set of establishment catholicism in Ireland?
In the current issue of the Irish Catholic columnist Breda O'Brien writes on her trip to Rome. Referring to 17th century persecution in Ireland she writes, "Priests were hunted like wild animals and were forced to flee abroad. It puts sneering comments from Ireland's consumerist liberal elite somewhat into context in terms of persecution."
Such a comment is not worthy of the writer. Not a single Irish priest has been criticised because of his faith and work. Priests and the established church have been criticised because of their immoral and illegal behaviour and the subsequent cover up.
And are we not all consumerists and some even part of the elite?
