wonders will never cease

It seems today Ian Paisley met with the head of the Catholic church in Ireland, Dr Sean Brady. Now, I have to admit that it came as a little bit of a surprise to me. Having said that I am pleasantly surprised. It's only twenty years since he was describing the pope as the antichrist.

Actually I most pleased with the fact that both delegations described the discussions as positive and there are plans for more meetings. It's a rare thing in this little country to hear such sentiments.

I don't doubt Ian's religious views are unchanged - but it's nice to see him trying for a bit of moral high ground.
