Thank you for your reply.
Will wait to see who the new nuncio is. Let's hope he is a good man. As you say, the current credibility of Irish bishops is near to zero.
Pope Francis will certainly find a very different Ireland from the one that JP2 visited in 1979. I am reminded that, for the Mass in Galway, JP2's two warm-up acts were Bishop Eamonn Casey and Fr Michael Cleary. Of the three, only JP2 seems to have been careful (or perhaps lucky) in his very close relationships with women.
