It seems there is something glaringly dysfunctional inside the Irish institutional church right now. And one gets the impression nobody is noticing or caring. There are also great gulfs of division happening.
How does one listen and speak with honesty in search of the real?
And then last evening on TV a former priest from the Elphin diocese was on a show with his partner. It was car crash television.
