In fact that is only out-weighed by the number of words being expanded in trying to take apart Ms. Liz. Why? Her comparison is valid, if a government had behaved the way the Irish Church did, they should resign. Ah but, the politicians are corrupt so that is not a good comparison. Hmmm.... Why? Obviously the Church could be accused of similar. What exactly are the levels of denial population wide on this subject in the country of my birth? yeah I feel queezy too, a growing feeling of disblief that there still remains a great element of jokey-ness in how Ireland seems to be viewing this.

If the church leadership, the hierarchy, was a cabinet, it would resign en masse or be thrown out of office." Now Liz...please lets not talk about Irish politicians and their level of accountability...poor comparison hmmm…

If Liz wanted to be relevant she should have made it in the 80s. I won't be keeping in my records!
