Anonymity helps no one and hides the dark men

Some time back a reader posted a comment to this blog which was not uploaded.

It was sent anonymously. This is an extract from the comment: '...'obviously to fit into you (sic) martyr dialogue you will over look (sic) it.'

At the best of times anonymous comments are not helpful.

But this comment was not accurate or factual. It was at the other other end of the spectrum when it comes to having anything to do with the truth. And I know.

The blogpost to which the anonymous reader was referring was accurate and factual and indeed the writer of the post had no agenda whatsoever. If anything, the writer is in the 'opposing camp'

Anonymity helps no one and it is a dark side of so much in the Catholic Church.

There are far too many anonymous people in the church, within priesthood and religious congregations.

Yesterday's Gospel was about God being love, loving our enemy. And then there are the dark men in priesthood.

A funny old world. A funny old church.
