Again, thank you.
I was not sure if I had caused a misunderstanding. As you will easily have discovered your language that I am maltreating is not the one I grew up with.

Of course not, but I still need to emphasise it for others. Crusty is a long-standing and trusted contributor to this site under another name.

While reading like Benny I thought of John McGahern being banned from profession after the publication of 'The Dark', and that once (1996) he had told me the church loosing much of its influence/power had so far been the best political experience in his lifetime.
The spirit of McQuaid et.al. obviously has – at least in parts – survived, though.
Although not able to veryfy what Crusty mentions, I don't have any doubts that it's true, and thus a good, i.e. sad example.
Not that I am surprised.

@ King's Bard

That's all very well but it doesn't explain the telephone directories.

Crusty.That's really sad.We stopped swallowing all that crap years ago.I really hope their relationship is a big finger in the face of those who condemn it.
Goodnight Eileen.
