From the newletter of a parish:
" 'I spy column' coming shortly. If you have been out-and-about; seen jogging at dawn or twilight; had a make-over; or embarrassed the famiy in any way... beware!! (Anonymous contributions welcomes) Happy New Year!!!"
Silly of course and potentially offensive but it's the anonymous aspect that gives it its true colours.
What is it about the hierarchical Catholic Church that puts so much stress on anonymity? From the appointment of bishops to the reporting of 'suspect' priests, anonymity plays a pivotal role within the church.
