Senior government officials / high-ranking Catholics in sense of humour failure shock.

Now I'm pretty glad that I never got accepted to the civil service when I applied, as this is *exactly* the kind of thing I would have ended up ruining my career over :D

I do like this little section in the middle of the article:

"The ludicrous nature of some of the memo's suggestions did not prevent some within the Catholic church demanding apologies for a disrespectful slur rather more urgently than senior Vatican officials have offered apologies over children abused in church care."

BURN.
