Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin spoke on RTE's Drivetime yesterday about an incident where his car was attacked outside Croke Park when he attended an Eid celebration.
He said that when he was attacked in his car he could hear background music with hymns to our Lady and people reciting the Rosary.
Archbishop Martin greatly appreciated the assistance he received from Croke Park staff.
The archbishop has to be commended for his denunciation of the far-right but it was a pity that he did not go on to talk about the inroads the far-right is making within the Catholic Church in Ireland.
There is a a strong link between the anti-mask people and those who are opposed to Irish Government policy on immigration. There is also a nexus between these groups and those who are critical of current Government policy on prohibiting people attending Mass.
The Irish Catholic newspaper is constantly criticising the Government for not allowing people attend Mass.
Columnist David Quinn regularly attacks the Government on its Covid-19 regulations. He tweets on a daily basis, accusing the Government of imposing measures that are disproportionate and unjustifiable.
He mirrors what US Dominican priest Pius Pietrzyk is tweeting across the Atlantic, as he harangues Democrat-run states on their Covid policies and on those who criticise US President Donald Trump.
Unfortunately, elements of the Irish Catholic Church are being influenced by a far-right American church.
Is there a church leader who will speak out on what is happening?
It will end in tears.
