There is a need "to work for a more reconciled Church" the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin said in Lourdes today.

IT was the first time in the hallowed litany of sacred musical pomp which traditionally surrounds the consecration of an Irish bishop that Frank Sinatra set the signature tune for the ceremony.

ARCHBISHOP Diarmuid Martin's speech in Italy on Tuesday went a long way towards confirming what so many of us had suspected: that he is losing the battle for reform of the Catholic Church in Ireland, and that he knows it.
