    To call this a "survey" is at the very least an overstatement. The station's website notes that "The Newstalk survey was submitted to 320 priests nationwide. 114 priests responded." This is hardly a r

    Eddie: St Thomas Aquinas advises us not to mind who said what, but rather to focus on the truth or otherwise of what is said. When Kruschev gave a speech criticising the previous regime, and someone s
