BACK in the 1970s, when I came back to live here after a spell in England, the Irish clergy were highly respected. This was in sharp contrast to England where Anglican vicars were the butt of comedians’ jokes.

I SUPPOSE the 21st century’s reaction to the Holocaust, if it happened now, would be to rattle a few collection boxes, get some pop stars to sing a song and the UN to make some half-hearted disapproving comments about the Nazis.
