Silence of the clergy

EDWARD HORGAN (Irish Examiner letters, February 14) is squarely on the mark regarding clergy and silence in the face of political cowardice and atrocity.

Silence of the clergy

Shhh... someone will notice we’ve lost our moral authority. Not that the clergy had any moral authority in the first place. With supreme power comes supreme corruption. The clergy and churches just about anywhere in Europe and the US have so enmeshed themselves with the politicians that any real distinctions have vanished.

It is the ordinary people who have been sold out. We bear the brunt of political incest and, of course, so do the innocents in faraway places such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
