THERE is a rule about the service of Reconciliation in the Roman Catholic church (Letters), found in the Code of Canon Law. When a service of Reconciliation takes place one must go to confession first as only during one's private confession to the priest, who is 'in alter christus', does the Catholic have sins forgiven. Four conditions are required by the penitent: examination of conscience, contrition, confession and satisfaction (making atonement for sins one has committed by carrying out prayers or good works asked of one by the priest).

THEY dress the men and women of God and they fill the bottles with holy wine to sustain the flow of souls into heaven, while down here on earth they pad the hassocks with a layer of foam rubber to comfort the knees of the faithful. There is not a parade like this in any other factory in the UK. You can bow beneath the Last Supper or let your fingers linger on the staff of an ancient cross, held by devotees of Jesus when the sandals of friars still slapped the mud.

Dismayed at the Church of England's direction, the folk of St James the Great move ever closer to Rome ST James the Great may almost be an understatement.

VATICAN officials were left 'stunned' by the severity of Enda Kenny's bitter attack, an insider revealed yesterday.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Church in Ireland, it is with great concern that I write to you as Pastor of the universal Church. Like yourselves, I have been deeply disturbed by the information which has come to light regarding the abuse of children and vulnerable young people by members of the Church in Ireland, particularly by priests and religious. I can only share in the dismay and the sense of betrayal that so many of you have experienced on learning of these sinful and criminal acts and the way Church authorities in Ireland dealt with them. As you know, I recently invited the Irish bishops to a meeting here in Rome to give an account of their handling of these matters in the past and to outline the steps they have taken to respond to this grave situation.
Together with senior officials of the Roman Curia, I listened to what they had to say, both in... abuse that has occurred within the Irish Catholic community, and to do so with courage and determina... tendency to avoid penal approaches to canonically irregular situations.

THE outspoken Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Robert MacCarthy, would be the first to admit there will be a collective sigh of relief from many of his peers when he retires on January 25. As a self-confessed 'thorn in the side' of the religious establishment, Dean MacCarthy clearly enjoys the comparisons to his famous precursor Jonathan Swift. 'It's a great banner headline for saying what you think. You see, I'm a boat rocker,' he says about the association with Swift, when we meet in his study at the Deanery, only a stone's throw from the cathedral. It isn't lost on me that it was probably in this very room that Swift penned some of his most contentious polemic writings.

THE shocking 400-page report published yesterday into clerical sex abuse in the Cloyne diocese shows Church leaders failed to learn any lessons from earlier inquiries and ignored their own guidelines on child protection. The inquiry by Judge Yvonne Murphy - the fourth damning examination of abuse and cover-ups of the Catholic Church in Ireland - found the diocese repeatedly failed to report all complaints. It found nine allegations out of 15 were not passed on to the Garda.
