Cardinal Keith O'Brien says he would be 'happy' to to see priests being allowed to marry.
It is difficult not to be flippant. But it gets funnier with the passing of every day.
Irish readers will be aware of Charles Haughey talking about the 'core values' of Fianna Fáil.
It really is the same old cant.
How sad, how hurtful. The spoof.
Then again it might all be some kind of spin to take the attention away from the latest Vatican revelations.
If and when the lid blows off on that and we hear the truth, what then?
Might it happen now that Cardinal O'Brien will be investigated by Vatican officials? Will anonymous letters arrive on their desks on what Cardinal O'Brien is saying?
This writer lived in Berlin before the Wall came down. On its collapse it meant that anything was possible, anywhere and in any society.
....the dangers of the 'evils of relativism'.
