Anyone who listened to RTE this evening on the report on the disclosure of the previously redacted section of the Cloyne Report must feel sick in her/his stomach.
In no way ameliorating the crimes committed but it is the arrogance, the 'we know best' attitude, the cover-up of the clerical church that is simply mind boggling.
And all this from a church that continues to mouth so much nonsense about how it knows best when it comes to telling people how to live their lives.
And the bullying practised by far too many priests is simply breath-taking in its arrogance.
Twenty years ago this writer spoke on the issue at an assembly of a religious order. He was the subject of laughter and ridicule.
And in many ways, nothing has changed.
