Last night on the Vincent Browne Show a cleric, defending Cardinal Brady, pointed out that a young priest back then and even today would be slow to knock at a bishop's door and remind him of something.
What a picture perfect story of how pathetic leadership in the Catholic Church is.
People are afraid. Surely that means that it was and is a culture of fear.
The church does sycophancy and fear well.
Had the then Fr Brady knocked at his bishop's door back then, would he be a cardinal today? Most unlikely.
The secrecy and fear the surrounds the appointment of bishops in the church needs urgent revision.
All organisations do sycophancy and fear well. But the church is the 'people of God'.
