This was a well written piece, and I do agree with the author’s points on how the Catholic Church failed to maintain it’s integrity in Ireland.

Like said elsewhere, as well as in the article, the Church needs to become small, humbled, and radically different in its approach to hierarchy and clericalism.

Thank you for sharing the article
