Mary Mac Aleese at it again.

Unsurprisingly our Mainin is repaying the political establishment who gave her a free run at the second term of her Presidency by fully backing them all in advocating a yes vote to change the nature of marriage as being between a man and a woman to one between any combination of adults in the forthcoming referendum.
Unsurprisingly also and not for the first time and as many of her over educated and taxpayer funded colleagues in her Elizabethan Alma Mater have done,she presumes to influence the Nation's Catholics on the way to vote in the Referendum by saying that she and her husband will vote "yes".
With time on her hands she has seen fit to lecture those charged with running the Catholic Church on such issues as married priests,its attitude to homosexuality and whatever you are having yourself.
She has criticised the Hierarchy's for allowing abuse of children under its watch.
Now some Hierarchy may have allowed this,I don't know.
But she was President of this s country for 14 years and as first citizen with the full resources of the Country at her fingertips the question must be asked what did she do about it and did any abuse take place during those 14 years of stewardship?
I have to say that I am totally uneasy at all these Reports that fail to lay even the glance of a glove on the entire political,judicial and public service organs of State which were legally charged with the well being of its most vulnerable subjects and which successfully lay all the blame on the Religious.
Some hand washing job.
Now I am not saying that our Manin knew of such abuse.
I am a 63 year old lay member of the Church and ,like millions of other such members had no idea that the forces of evil had infiltrated some members.
But Theology and Canon law aside I believe that the Pope is God's Man on earth and that our Manin ,although she presumes to know more than Him,does not and never will.
So despite her swanning about in the seas of liberal rheology and her multitude pronouncements on matters of Catholic morality I will not pay a blind bit of notice of what she says on this or any other issue.
I will however be contemplating on the First Commandment  "I am the Lord thy God and you shall not have strange Gods before me,"and try and figure how and if it applies on these matters.
