    I try, and fail, to imagine Jesus sitting in Rome and issuing the types of orders which have been coming from the Vatican. When studying the Gospels, did we find that He spied on His disciples whene

    According to the Irish Times, Fr. Flannery has been instructed he must stop any involvement with the ACP. This does not bode well for the ACP. Perhaps some people should fulfil the logic of their stat

    Surely one solution would be for the Redemptorist Order in Ireland to publicaly re-instate Tony Flannery, whatever difficulties that might cause with Rome. He has had the courage to be honest with him

    I think the new nuncio is behind all this. Remember until last year he was a senior man in the CDF/Inquisition. It was with his arrival in Ireland last year that all of this really got going. He may b
