Divine intervention!

All those prayers and intense chats with the Madonna are paying off. Iceland’s top volcano has blown again, shutting down the country’s airspace.
If Bishop Grech and Mary Magdalenes Coleiro and Cassar recite the rosary hard enough (the finance minister might help), the ash cloud might spread as it did last year, making it impossible for the reduced-price Air Malta flights to bring their planeloads of Yes votes to Malta in time for the referendum.
What luck. Sorry, divine intervention.

In keeping with his primadonna image, consolidated during the divorce campaign, I am expecting that JPO will be making a formal complaint with God.
Or ‘Talking to himself’ as he refers it.
The above piece should read like so: All those deadly sins in the world (divorce, abortion, euthanasia) against the Madonna are paying off. Iceland’s top volcano has blown again, shutting down the country’s airspace.
If Bishop Grech and Mary Magdalenes Coleiro and Caruana Galizias recite the rosary with their hearts open to Jesus (the finance minister will surely help because he is a fervent believer) , the ash cloud WILL NOT spread as it did last year, making it possible for the reduced-price Air Malta flights to bring their planeloads of NO votes to Malta in time for the referendum.
What luck. Sorry, divine intervention.
Should it really read like so?
Call me a thickie, but isn’t it at least slightly incongruous that a priesthoood that is allegedly celibate* (let alone married) and clearly misogynistic can tell people what they can/can’t do about marital problems?
* does not apply to the Jesuits, who have just had to fork out 160 million dollars in compensation for institutionalised sexual abuses of indigenous Americans.
Also, if a marriage vow is unbreakable, why are priestly vows so easily and quickly releasable from? If a priest gets caught shagging/creating progeny, the Church removes him from the priesthood. If a married bloke gives up on the Trouble and bonks someone else, she has to stay married to him (or vice-versa, of course).
Based on today’s developments, I believe they did!
