BBC's Newsnight front man Jeremy Paxman's book on the first World War, Great Britain's Great War, has been published.
He quotes his mother, whom he recalls saying about the soldiers in that war as being, "lions led by donkeys".
Maybe it's easy for people who have never been in a position of power to empathise with Paxman's mother, nevertheless, on a personal note, I look at the institutional Irish Catholic Church and wish to shout from the rooftops Mrs Paxman's words.
And I'm no 'lion'.
