“After all, Christians were fighting Christians in the North, and no doubt both sides confidently believed that God was on their side.”

Here’s a briefing on some of the stories and issues highlighted on irishexaminer.com today.

Enda Kenny has defended a controversial cut to a social welfare payment for single parents, the funerals of two victims of the Berkeley tragedy have taken place in Dublin, a single farmer in Co Mayo has won the right to be buried on his own land, and Jurassic World is now the fastest film to ever breach the billion dollar mark at the box office worldwide. Read the latest on this and more in this evening’s irishexaminer.com catch-up.

Recently, as we celebrated the 50th anniversary of Dr Martin Luther King’s ‘I have a dream’ speech and the march to Washington which precipitated the successful campaign for civil rights, I was reminded of TP O’Mahony’s recent analysis of Michael Collins and his conclusion: ‘Let the Big Fellow rest in peace… because I’m convinced there is nothing left to say.’ (Irish Examiner Aug 26).

A recent speech by Pope Francis held clear echoes of a centuries-old tradition stressing the need for radical, progressive action, and insights on matters of social justice, writes TP O’Mahony

The Inquisition was based on certainty and Cullen Murphy argues that an equally aggressive certainty exists today. TP O’Mahony wonders if he’s right

Dick Cheney played a pivotal role in the war on terror, and the US, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan paid a high price, writes TP O’Mahony.

Instead of reviving the original show, director Marian Wyatt chose to make an even more ambitious play, says Colette Sheridan

Despite his Machiavellian morals, Henry Kissinger’s tale of the Asian nation’s newfound significance is a fascinating read, says TP O’Mahony.

There will be hell to pay if the next government fails to implement the changes voters are crying out for, writes TP O’Mahony

THE analysis by TP O’Mahony of the Pope’s pastoral letter (March 22) was the most careless I have read.

IN calling for a Vatican Council III, my old sparring partner TP O’Mahony (‘Vatican must change’, January 2) shows that more than 40 years later he still hankers for the 1960s when the speculations of German theologians at Vatican II press briefings prompted Irish reporters to be commentators playing the speculation game.

TP O’MAHONY (April 21) focused on the many “gaffes” made by the Pope during his recent US visit. What a pity the Pope did not appoint the infallible Mr O’Mahony as his special adviser. That would have reduced the “gaffes” to one.

TP O’MAHONY’S article in response to the €900,000 libel award to Martin McDonagh against the Sunday World is self-serving and disingenuous. (‘Freezing free speech’, March 1).

WASN’T that a horrible act of disloyalty by TP O’Mahony (August 25) to contradict that classification in your editorial (August 23) of horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, tarot cards, clairvoyants and mediums as “harmless entertainment business”?

YOU carried a full-page feature article by TP O’Mahony who was highly critical of Pope Benedict XVI (July 12).

THE Irish Examiner has taken one of the top honours in the annual Law Society awards for journalism.

HOW utterly naive is TP O’Mahony in joining writers (some of them vehemently anti-Catholic) in attacking Pope Pius XII for not condemning the Nazis for their oppression of the Jewish people (Irish Examiner, September 12).

RESPONDING to my letter (Irish Examiner, April 23) accusing TP O’Mahony of having a brass neck for claiming the Holy Spirit made a mistake in guiding the cardinals to elect Pope Benedict XVI ...

BETTY HARRINGTON (Irish Examiner letters, April 23) accuses TP O’Mahony of having a “brass neck to imply that the Holy Spirit made a mistake” in guiding the conclave of cardinals selecting the new Pope.

TP O’MAHONY never had a good word for Pope John Paul II because he kept to the teachings of Christ.

AS the life of Pope John Paul II entered its final hours the Irish Examiner dedicated several pages to this wonderful man, including reports of his historic visit to our country in 1979.

HAVING just heard of the possibility of the Pope visiting to Ireland, may I make a plea that you would spare your readers the anti-papal, Paisleyite language frequently used by some of your writers such as TP O’Mahony and Suzanne Harrington.
