Jennifer O’Connell writing in The Irish Times on Saturday on the Boris Johnson wedding in Westminster Cathedral:
"But double standards in either the Catholic Church or the life of Boris Johnson surely can’t come as a surprise to anyone.
"There have always been two tiers within the Catholic Church; one for a powerful, male, privileged elite, another for everyone else.”
Elsewhere in the article she writes:
"Hypocrisy is a subject close to Pope Francis’s heart, and one he has frequently railed against. But while he is undoubtedly sincere and I admire his determination to change the tone of the church’s communications, the head of the Catholic Church lecturing the world on double standards is like Jeff Bezos holding forth on the evils of consumerism.”
It doesn’t make for good reading. Is it accurate?
