If you expect Rome to appoint an extrovert or a free thinker you can forget about it. Anyone who might fall into the " tall poppy" department will be weeded out before even getting on to the terna list. However if you're bright( usually earmarked from seminary days), don't blot your copybook, are a "yes man", have no known skeletons in the cupboard ( or the closet!) and not liable to rock the boat then you may well get a shot at a pointy hat and purple socks. An added bonus to keep all the oil Catholic biddies onside is if there any photos which show that " he's awful good to his mother!"

It reminded me that last year during one bright evening all the locals and visitors were dancing in the streets of the city when I happened to spay an affectionate couple dancing,embracing and kissing each other very passionately. Nothing wrong with that you might think. Nothing at all except he was and still is a serving priest in D&C. Not Eamon Martins problem. He can concentrate on the washing!!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-70407964977516497092015-08-15T21:37:06.229+01:002015-08-15T21:37:06.229+01:00... and most evil queens, unfortunately.... and most evil queens, unfortunately.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-77934397940831361832015-08-15T19:49:53.609+01:002015-08-15T19:49:53.609+01:00Thank you Ulster Cleric.

He strikes me as a company "middle management" type, who will without question follow the directions from HQ.(Rome)<br />Cardinal Brady was a very poor leader and I fear that one very average cleric has been replaced in Armagh by a similar copy. Perhaps that is what Rome wants in Ireland as <br />it probably has given up on us at this stage !<br /><br />Ulster Cleric.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-33225044009995981132015-08-15T19:07:25.923+01:002015-08-15T19:07:25.923+01:00I think there are more queens than kings in our ch...I think there are more queens than kings in our church :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-79526679046600377222015-08-15T18:55:39.148+01:002015-08-15T18:55:39.148+01:00There is a lot of theatrics in the church for bett...There is a lot of theatrics in the church for better or worse and some of this leads to what I believe is a fantasy world where people can hide their insecurities and play at being kings and queens.
