Should it really read like so?

* 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).

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.

Or ‘Talking to himself’ as he refers it.
