Catholic Church doctrine is not negotiable

Apart from fat-cat trade unionists, the Labour Party, and the bankers, is there any group in Irish society more hypocritical than liberal Catholics?

People like Mary McAleese and Enda Kenny want to have all the rights of being Catholic, with none of the responsibilities. They want the right to accept certain Church teachings, while criticising others.

It’s simple: the head of the Church is the Pope, and Church doctrine is made in Rome.
