The Minister was excellent on RTÉ television last night. Well done to the Minister.

Earlier this week, I commended the Pope on his gentle and loving words towards a young gay Chilean man. I have discovered since then that one of the Dutch cardinals has attacked him for heresy. I am altogether grateful to him for bringing to my attention the fact that one of his other complaints is that a group of cardinals are talking about blessing gay unions. Good for them. I said many years ago that considering the fact that they bless domestic animals, including goldfish, tractors and bombs, it would not burst them to bless a couple of fairies while they are at it. I happen to know that goldfish are not lesbians in any case. With goldfish, it is impossible to tell.
