Wish I’d been there to raise a glass with you to John Waters.

An eloquently rational and reasonable response to the most poisonous kind of provocation. Dermod shows the kind of courage and forbearance that Christians like to loudly claim as their own ‘house style’ but too few are capable of.

I think a spot of field research is called for. Don’t you?

The really burning question though is whether prices have fallen at the American diner we ate brunch at last time I was in town have fallen yet.

Polanski drugged and assaulted a thirteen-year-old. Payne preyed on sick children in hospital. There is no evidence that Wilde assaulted anyone, or did anything against their will.

I agree that Fr P deserved to be jailed, but so did Oscar Wilde, Roman Polanski etc.

The point of my article seems to have been lost on you. Or perhaps you are not really interested in my point, just in being provocative. Payne deserved to be jailed, and should not have been released early.

Lots of priests have a deluded sentimental attachment to the children or adolescents that they get involved with. Psychologically they are not very different from Oscar. Dermod could do a wonderful apologia for Fr Payne, for example.
