It sounds like Christian Brothers is offering a hefty apologetic sum to victims of child abuse in Ireland. But does it make up for years of pain, heartache, and fighting for justice? Probably not. The Brothers said that €34 million in cash would be used to help victims of abuse, whose plight was identified in [...]

I used to love this band. Formed by Gary Marx who was one of the early guitarists with the Sisters of Mercy and Anne Marie formerly of the Skeletal Family. I saw them twice, once at the Pink Toothbrush in Rayleigh and then at the Marquee. The sound quality on this video is rubbish but its a great song that we'd all go bonkers to live. They split up after recording their first album. Shame. Comments...

Well thank God Dowd has given her two cents. Where would we be without her wisdom. See The Nuns’ Story in the New York Times. I don't know about you but when I have questions about Church matters and Theology the first person I turn too is Dowd that has written so vastly on the subject (SARC). Maybe next week she will explain to us the internal politics of Iceland which she might be more knowledgeable...
