Maeve Binchy is on public record for saying she did not believe in God.
Her death notice today informs readers that her funeral Mass will take place in the Catholic Church of the Assumption in Dalkey on Friday.
One might well discuss how consequential that is. That might be for another day.
But surely no priest in Ireland dare harangue people for having their children baptised who do not attend church.
Just in recent weeks a priest harangued the congregation for not going to confession (sic) before receiving Holy Communion.
If it were not so sad it would be all so laughable. It's nevertheless laughable.
Why not trust in the integrity of the individual person?
