Art, media, opinion and ideas
Enda Kenny, yesterday gave one of the most extraordinary speeches in recent Irish history. Just one week after the publication of the latest report into child sex abuse by Catholic priests in the country, the Taoiseach vehemently attacked the Vatican State for its role in covering up cases of child sex abuse in Ireland.
On the 26th November in 2009, the Murphy report into the abuse of children by Catholic clergy was released. The country was convulsed and repulsed by the clear description of decades of cover-ups, lies, deceit, and misbehaviour by the Church.
The following is the text of a message I sent to the 4,205 members of the Expel the Papal Nuncio Facebook Group. I'm posting it here so that Non-Facebookers can also read it and, hopefully, take the moment to click the link and send their message to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I'll write more about the experience of this campaign when the dust has settled.
