Well, I'm sure that Ireland can find a comparable moral leader from some of their worst sociopathic felons, if they want an equivalent replacement.

How will they possibly deal with not torturing themselves and not apologizing for being human?

As an addendum, I just read on RTE news that the Irish government is closing its embassy to the Holy See. They say it's purely for economic reasons, but this comes after a lot of fairly acrimonious exchanges between the Taoiseach and the Vatican, so there's probably more to it than saving a bit of money.

It's quite amazing, really, how quickly the church has lost its influence in Ireland. A decade or so ago no-one would have believed Ireland could ever have extricated itself from the iron grip of the church. It's a Celtic Spring.
