Yes, "I hate you because you're a bigot" is always a good way to avoid confronting our bigoted viewsI've read Alive a few times -only because someone keeps delivering it . (though I've just now googled it -alive.ie)
I always assumed that it was standard Roman Catholic fare and that it was expressing the views of RC clergy and practising R.Cs.
As an atheist I confess (?!) some surprise from previous posts that not all R.Cs think that way, and indeed object to the views contained in Alive.
This puts me in a quandry ... I need publications like Alive to keep my anti-RC views, er,alive. Reasonable moderate Catholics at this late stage of my life confuse me.
However, it is very good at soaking up baby puke after they decide that spuds and carrots don't agree with them at dinner time !!
I can't say I've ever read the paper, but I know that many young Irish priests have become sadly disillusioned with the official church.
