Eamonn Coghlan was interviewed on RTE Radio 1 this morning talking about the upcoming referendum on marriage. He spoke about his gay son.
In today's Irish Times Diarmaid Ferriter and Fintan O'Toole in their pieces refer to the Catholic Church.
Fintan O'Toole compares aspects of IRA/Sinn Féin with the Catholic Church and Diarmaid Ferriter quotes from Archbishop Charles McQuaid, referring to himself as 'the ogre in his den'.
Fintan O'Toole's article is titled: "Republicans mimic church response to abuse claims". Diarmaid Ferriter's piece runs: "More bishops say about marriage the better for Yes vote".
"Catholics are driven away by distant, over-clerical priests who preach bad sermons." And that's a quote, which also appears in today's Irish Times. Who said it? Pope Francis, aka Jorge Bergoglio
