Neyl's letter to Pope Adrian ...... more on the goodness wrought.
"It is a rule in the King of England's courts of justice in
Ireland, that every man who is not of Irish extraction,
may institute a judicial process of any kind, and that this
power is forbidden to the Irish, whether clergy or laity.
If as too frequently happens, an Englishman murders an
Irish, clerk or layman, the assassin is neither punished
corporally, nor even fined; on the contrary, the more
considerable the murdered person was amongst us, the
more his murderer is excused, honoured, and rewarded
by his countrymen-even by the religious men and the
bishops.

Yes, great. Benedict is doing us
all a favor. And at the consist
ory, the cardinals should lower
the mandatory retirement age
for the pope to 75. We need
new young blood the papcy.
And I don't really see Benedict
as a humble guy. I do think
he feels real shame, though,
for his malfeasance in handling
the clerical abuse scandals
in the past several decades.
Good riddance.

That's about what one would expect those two to say. Higgins & Kenny still owe a formal apology to the victims of the Magdalene Laundries.
