This Very British Kulturkampf Kontinues
Sir Ken Macdonald, MC (Matrix Chambers, presumably with Bar), weighs in with a reminiscence of the Christian Brothers before airing a number of what might be his own issues and offering sensible advice such as 'Call the police'.
Please, please - if you're beef is with Catholicism, please use that word and do not use any form which uses 'The Catholic Church' or 'The Church'. If you have a problem with adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Transubstantiation, The Real Presence or any other matter of doctrine, do please keep me out of it. I have never had anything to do with bad men doing bad things. No Catholic priest ever did bad things to me. Those who have done bad things must answer for their crimes. It is the very essence of persecution and Kulturkampf to make others answer for them, and to hold every member of a body collectively guilty for the crimes of some. That might not be what Sir Ken intended to do, but that's the perceived effect of such a lazy, sloppy use of language; one quite unbecoming of a former Director of Public Prosecutions.
