Last rites for a dying class
September 06, 2018
My deepest condolences to Donald Trump on the occasion of John McCain’s funeral. Mr Trump wasn’t invited, you see. Everyone else was: Presidents Obama, W Bush and Clinton. But not Sarah Palin (who has only ever been gracious about her former running mate) and not Donald Trump (who was very rude about him). With Trump

Don’t sneer at these free spirits
August 23, 2018
My first reaction when I heard about the deaths of Jay Austin and Lauren Geoghegan was “what a pair of bananas”. They were killed while cycling in Tajikistan – which sounds as reckless as self-catering in the Congo – and left behind a manifesto of sorts that has been mocked as the height of liberal
Narcos is truthful, poignant – and ethically dubious

Increasingly, I find myself watching drama series where I feel manipulated
A show where nobody’s hands are clean
August 09, 2018
The bestest character in Narcos (Netflix) is Judy Moncada, the wife of a drug kingpin. She’s got class, she’s got diamonds, she’s got a painting above the fireplace of Judy with a lion. When her husband is murdered by real-life drug dealer Pablo Escobar, she goes on a murderous rampage – but never, ever puts

When Catholics feel betrayed

Why on earth do we stay in a Church in which clerics commit sexual abuse? The easiest answer is realism. We tell ourselves that some sexual predators are drawn to seminaries, just as paedophiles seek out institutions that work with children, regardless of whether they’re religious or not. Public schools, choirs, scouts: the cancer grows
Let everyone in? If only it were that simple

The world is on the move in numbers never seen before. What is a rich Western country to do?
Let everyone in? If only it were that simple

Here’s the same story observed from slightly different angles. On the front of Time magazine is a now famous picture of a little girl crying, superimposed on a red background with President Trump looking down at her. The headline: “Welcome to America.” Trump wasn’t there when her photo was taken of course: she and her

As a new generation a priests revive beauty, the Church is undergoing a restoration
A subversive poet at No 10
June 14, 2018
I am in love with people I never knew, and one of them is Mary Wilson. The great lady has died at the age of 102 and, despite being the wife of a former prime minister, always displayed a sensible, old-fashioned refusal to pretend to like politics. She met her husband, Harold, on the tennis
The Church Ireland needs
May 31, 2018
The Church must take some responsibility for Ireland’s vote to legalise abortion. I’m not saying the issue is a purely theological one: humanists can also believe in the inalienable right to life. Nor would I want to infantilise the Irish, to suggest they are sheep in need of a strict shepherd. There’s a temptation for
