Vatileaks give an insight as to how it is

There is a story in today's Irish Independent about leaks at the Vatican.

"It's open warfare, with everyone against everyone else. Those doing it are doing it to protect the Pope. There are those opposed to the Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone. And those who think that Benedict XVI is too weak to lead the church. And those who think that this is the time to step forward."

That's a quote from an Italian newspaper interview with an anonymous source.

And that's the story that could be told of every diocese, every religious order and congregation.

Is it all one big sad pantomime?
