This from a priest a good few years older than myself. Lovely.
I have just finished reading “From the outside”. What a hurricane!! A hurricane that left nothing standing in its path. “From the outside” is not for the faint hearted. I thought he let the Irish Church off lightly just by saying the Irish Bishops were arrogant. They were more than arrogant. They were intolerant, bad-tempered and, because of their superiority complex, destroyed people’s careers. It shows the Catholic Church up in a bad light. It wants to let go of nothing even though it realises a lot of the rubbish it has gathered over the years has nothing to do with the Gospel. “From the outside” should be read by every Bishop and priest in Ireland today.
Delighted to have read “From the outside”.
