The Ray D'Arcy f word on radio and the church asking for a full apology is sure to get a good outing.
According to Ray D'Arcy he attended Mass until he was 28 and then one day a priest, maybe younger than he, during his sermon told people that if they were not suffering they were not good Catholics.
Ray D'arcy told this incident in an interview he gave to Hot Press two years ago.
Would it not be far more helpful if the Irish bishops began a learning experience of what is said in sermons and maybe then we could all have a discussion.
No on should ever use rude or impolite language in news-rlated programmes. But a discussion on what is preached in churches would make far more sense than looking for 'full apologies'.

What D'Arcy said was offensive to many. The bishops are looking for an apology. I have never heard an apology for the offence caused to
many by the manner of the introduction of the missal. I have never heard an apology for the offence caused to many by ignorant bigoted preaching. I have never heard an apology for the offence caused to many by Rome's silencing of Frs Fagan, Moloney and Flannery. I have never heard an apology for the offence caused to many by the official attitude to gay men and women. I have never heard an apology for the offence caused to many by the marginalization of women. When the bishops recognise that they have often been offensive, taking the log out of their own eyes, perhaps then the mote in the eye of another may seem less significant.
