"The Centre cannot hold" May 29th 2012, 13:30 I've just come across this: haven't listened yet thought I probably will: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/...0529-1205a.mp3 The covering abstract reads: Quote: Originally Posted by BBC World Service Ireland's Catholic priests are on the warpath. They have left their pulpits in their hundreds and marched on Dublin to campaign for reform and modernisation from a church many of have served for decades, which now though has denounced them as traitors For Heart and Soul on the BBC World Service, Ruth McDonald examines how Ireland, once the most loyally Catholic of countries, has come to a point where its clergy are now at war with the Vatican, over celibacy, divorce and the role of women How will this revolution play out in a country still shaken by the scale of sexual abuse, cover ups by Bishops and an increasing secularisation? Though I have always believed the beeb to be as neutral as is possible over most issues I have often felt them to be pro-RCC: that might well be my personal bias on the matter. But if I'm right then the programme should be interesting.
