He’s right. I cannot believe the changes that has taken place. The bishops don’t seem to have argued against anything, there is no reason why we cannot have mass in a field or carpark all socially distant or Confession in a room where we are also distant.

There is no social distancing in the supermarkets or any shops and people are still going for foreign holidays and not social distancing when they return.

Unfortunately, it seems the Irish church has itself to blame for their loss of social clout. Thousands of children were abused for decades - 800 abusers in just 35 years. And if it wasn’t sexual (which was rampant), there was also verbal, physical abuse, and neglect: “Children were frequently hungry and food was inadequate, inedible and badly prepared in many schools.”

I agree the church dropped the ball but at this stage it needs to own its mistakes and move forward. Unfortunately the state locking the files on the Mother & Child homes for 30yrs isn’t going to help, it just pushes the boat out so that it never ends.
 
Indeed, but perhaps it is in the interest of someone or some organisation(s) to keep the sorry saga going on and on!
 
At this late stage maybe government ministers were involved, the church is already tarred and feathered and has nothing left to lose.

I agree, so the locking up of the files ensures the Church cannot escape the opprobrium of the people, acting as a lightening rod for public anger, whilst government ministers that may have played a role, escape the consequences of the righteously angered public
