For me, the photo says it all. All men. All old men. All white men. Men in dresses and beanies. Not one woman in the photo. So bizarre. This is the leadership of the Irish Church. Tightly closed-up even against their own priests who resort to having their own priests' association. And these bishops all meet with the Pope and not one of them will bring up the subject of married priests or women priests. I guess not. They wouldn't want to associate with such.  Preferring to be in their closed-up caste, acting in persona Christi, the High Priest.  But there is only one High Priest -- Jesus.  How will young people react to the photo? The young people have sense and aren't coming back to bow and say "Your Excellency" or "My Lord Bishop." The days of kings who would uphold hierarchical privileges with violence are no more.  These days people get to choose. Why would they follow someone who is an appointee of an appointee and who doesn't listen? And doesn't know how to work with women!
