I read this with some trepidation, given the Catholic leanings of its author, Jack Waterford. But he argues that, rather than the Church getting on its moralistic high horse over the ACT govt taking over Calvary Hospital, it should rather look to the Sermon on the Mount for
guidance. "Calvary is not a beacon of Catholicism in action. Alas. Being made the symbol of church rights or Catholic identity is like raising the spectre of the graveyard at
the back of the Tuam orphanage – that way we always did things that has made Ireland, in less than two decades, decide to abandon Saint Patrick."
