Christianity all but vanquished - why the cardinal was right to say so
That the archbishop’s conclusion is well founded is borne out by the depressing revelations in the correspondence in the Irish Examiner over recent weeks referring to the shocking attempted cover-up by the Vatican of clerical and religious crimes such as those referred to by Patrick Geaney (Irish Examiner letters, May 24) concerning “priests and religious (who) sexually abuse trusting, helpless, innocent boys and girls and “brute beasts” such as cats and dogs.”
When “church crimes” such as these are being deliberately covered up by popes and clergy, then indeed “Christianity has been vanquished.” If such crimes are the evil fruits in the lives of the papal and clerical promoters of Christianity, then indeed the world would be better rid of such a system.
