The way forward
* Elect Hans Kung as Pope, or at least as special adviser to the Vatican.
* Allow priests to marry – within the year.
* Women to become priests within three years, allowing time for training.
* Bishops to be men or women. Not necessarily priests – within the year.
* Titles and special forms of address to be consigned to the dustbin. No more Father What’s-its, unless he is your father.
* Clerical collars. Forget it.
* Then elect Michael O’Leary as Taoiseach. One term should do it.
