On a day in which in the liturgical calendar we read how Jesus throws the merchants and money changers out of the temple it comes to the attention of this blog that a religious community in Ireland is discussing a proposal to move a tabernacle from where it is back to where it was less than 20 years ago.
A theological nicety that would cost a considerable sum of money in an Ireland that has close to 500,000 people out of work.
So many in the institutional church simply 'don't' get it'. Or do they?
Those chairs on that ship 100 years ago.
