Proof?
It will be well understood by the chattering classes, but it really won't be well understood by lots of people. It certainly won't be understood at all by the 25% of Irish people that are functionally illiterate.
A bit of plain speaking wouldn't go astray.
The Pope is set to cancel his Irish visit following the scorching criticism. I don't think it's any great loss and should save us a few bob into the bargain.

That report is from Saturday - before the real scorching criticism!
I'm not so sure. The content was good, but the language and structure was quite complex, e.g. unprecedented juncture, excavates the dysfunction, disconnection, elitism....the narcissism, the primacy of the institution, gimlet eye of a canon lawyer etc etc.

You do the man an injustice. He is probably the only credible man in the hierarchy.
He has shown humility and acceptance of the issues that the church caused.

Had to look up "narcissism" myself. Excessive self love. Not too sure.
I want to remind you of the story of Voltaire on his death bed. Asked to renounce the devil he said "now is no time to be making enemies".
There is a possibility that Benny has a direct line to higher powers. Do we really need to make enemies of Him in our hour of economic desperation?

http://www.mentalhealth.com/dis/p20-pe07.htmlIn psychology, the word is associated with a personality disorder known as Narcissistic personality disorder it is a condition characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, need for admiration, extreme self-involvement, and lack of empathy for others. Individuals with this disorder are usually arrogantly self-assured and confident. They expect to be noticed as superior. Many highly successful individuals might be considered narcissistic. However, this disorder is only diagnosed when these behaviors become persistent and very disabling or distressing.
