"In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don't baptise the children of single mothers because they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today's hypocrites."
Archbishop of Buenos Aires Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis.
And all the nonsense that we have heard about not baptising children of unmarried mothers.
This is beginnng to look good.
And something else, note he is wearing more 'common sense' Mass vestments.
At a Mass in a Dublin church on Thursday the priest mumbled the words of Mass. Spent more time cleaning and fumbling with the chalice, bowing and genuflecting and there he was with his maniple and fingers joined. Not a word of reflection on the Gospel.
Might Pope Francis have a word or two on this phenomenon too? Because it is a sham.

A few days ago I was told of an interesting case; A couple in an Irish town approached a priest about getting married.

The couple decided not to have a church ceremony and instead celebrated a wonderful civil ceremony with family and friends ...
Good for them Francis Hunt.
I see Archbishop Martin is now talking out about the "funadamentalism" invading the Church.
Wow, what an epiphany. Has nothing to do with the new Pope's views.
He has an extraordinary facility to run with hare and hunt with hounds that lad.
