Saturday's Irish Times in its Weekend Review carried an interesting interview with Bishop Willie Walsh.
In the piece Bishop Walsh speaks about clerical sex abuse and points to the age of many of the victims and their gender. The retired bishop is saying something of profound importance and hopefully the hierarchical church will listen to what he is saying.
And then there is the archbishop in Belgium, whose spokesman has resigned. He commented that the archbishop is like someone who is driving the wrong way up the road and argues that all the other cars are going the wrong way.
A wonderful metaphor.

I really liked the way Willie Walsh came across in the interview. You don't have to agree with everything he says to admire his basic honesty, humanity and, above all, his wonderful humility.
