Sums up my feelings beautifully.

[Zacs-Master]

Just about sums it up!

[Maydup]

And he's only just chipping away at the words!

[anotheoldgit]

Would they dare publish one similar regarding the Muslim Child grooming gangs?

[gness]

And only because he's forced to, Maydup......x

Brilliant, Dave.....I make my own Christmas Cards....would it be cruel to have this as the picture this year?...... ;-)

Stone blind....

Patsy, well said xx

Gness, on ya go, you know you want to :-D xx
(I have a feeling some of your relatives might ex-communicate you tho! )

Dave, thank you for sharing.

[gness]

Oh I was officially excommunicated in 1971, Alba......by a Canon and Bishop.....forbidden from the Sacraments until I asked for and received from them forgiveness for having an ectopic pregnancy removed from my burst fallopian tube.....
Would it help if I glittered up the cards do you think?.. :-)

[albaqwerty]

oooh, gness - what I think of that is only scratching the surface of what you feel.
Disgusting. Hypocritical. Vicious, narrow-minded so-called men.

Glitter would be a nice touch.

No, they wouldn't aog. What else can this man do, but apologise, it's not his fault, he hasn't sexually abused anyone, has he ??

[sunny-dave]

He may not have abused anyone himself - but he's the CEO of a corrupt organisation that is riddled with not only abusers, but also apologists and masters of the cover-up.

He's had over 5 years to do something beyond uttering weasel words of faint condemnation - but has done nothing other than find carpets to sweep the abuse under.

Ireland deserves better, the abused deserve better - he has failed them in the most miserable way.

[gness]

HereIam.....you can't know he hasn't any more than I can know he has......I'm not aware of any accusations of abuse against the Pope.....
I do know that allegations of not investigating reports of abuse made to him five years ago are being made.
Should this be true then he is as guilty as the abusers.

[hereIam]

Sorry, stand by what I said and won't be commenting any more.

[gness]

You've made me smile, HereIam......with your very priestly answer...... :-)
