Vincent Browne on the Labour Party and priests

In today's Irish Times columnist Vincent Browne writes a piece on the Labour Party and argues that the party really stands for nothing.

Harsh?

In the piece he alludes a number of times to the actions of 'Catholic priests'. He paints the picture of a right wing church. It sounds horrible. But 'on reflection', it's probably true, the Catholic Church has large numbers of ring wing elements to it.

What does one do when one finds oneself part of a right wing organisation and simply does not want to be associated with such a grouping?

And isn't it strange, as the Catholic Church goes on and on about it being on the side of those on the margins.

The life and times of its founder, Jesus?

It sure is a funny old world
