It is reported that the Association of Catholic Priests has objected to comments made by Miriam O'Callaghan that 'Prime Time Investigates' be awarded a prize for the work it has done.
The ACP is objecting because of the Prime Time libel case, which RTE lost in the courts.
Why should Ms O'Callaghan not say what she said? If the programme series has done good work over a period of time, why should it not be awarded a prize?
Why does the Catholic Church feel that it is a permanent victim of hurt and attack? It really is a preposterous type of thinking.
The Catholic Church, better said, some people in the church, think that it deserves a special place in society.
The institutional Catholic Church in Ireland has been in trouble because of the cover-up, its arrogance, its attempt at being 'above the law'.
With the new property tax will a single presbytery, a single church residence pay the tax? Obviously not as the church is registered as a charity.
There are so many ambiguitites right across every aspect of church life. It's for those reasons that so many people are understandably angry with the church.
The church should stop pretending it's a vicitm. It is anything but.
