Dreamwidth Message Dump...

If anyone on Dreamwidth has sent me a PM, or has added me to their Reading Page and have not gotten a response for either one, all of the messages in my inbox have disappeared in a puff of electronic smoke.

No, I have no idea what happened.

If you need a response to a message or would like me to add you to my Reading Page, please don't hesitate to ping me via PM. Or you can simply respond to this post via the Dreamwidth link below.

My name on Dreamwidth, as on ElJay, is [personal profile] liz_marcs.

And, yes, I'm trying to be better about cross-posting...

Hi,

not about your Dreamwidth problems, but I recall you posting a very moving post on this subject, so I thought you might be interested in the Afternoon Play that was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 this afternoon.

Haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but the link and a brief description from the BBC website follow.

Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
Ray.

Afternoon Play - What the Bishops Knew

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tmtz4/Afternoon_Play_What_the_Bishops_Knew/

'What the Bishops Knew' by Hugh Costello fictionally explores an accusation of child abuse by a Catholic Priest in Ireland and how over several decades this was allegedly covered up within the hierarchy of the Church in an attempt to protect its reputation.

Mary Dowdall - Brid Brennan Bob McCabe - Mark Lambert Barry Glynn - Patrick Fitzsymons Barry, aged 10 - Peter Gilmore Fr Brand - Kevin Flood Monsignor Milligan - Pat Laffan Professor McGovern - Niall Cusack Bishop Culleton - Gerard Murphy Cardinal Finnerty - Des Nealon Director Eoin O'Callaghan

The writer: As well as being a regular writer for R4, Hugh Costello is an Emmy Award nominated screenwriter (Bernard and Doris with Ralph Fiennes and Susan Sarandon). He is loathe to see himself as the scourge of the Catholic Church but his interest in its affairs has lead him to write a number of plays about the Vatican; Conclave and My Dear Children of the Whole World.

Directed by Eoin O'Callaghan.
