“It was a trivial problem that… occurs every year”
Just your average family gathering at Christmas, with a bit of an argument about the seating cleaning arrangements… Scuffles have broken out between rival groups of Greek Orthodox and Armenian clerics over a turf war in Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity.

Comment on Tribune sex abuse articles now online
on 18 January 2010 at 1:49 am
According to Gerrys blog post he hasnt been involved in any cover-up. Gerry get a life you are not addressing the party die-hards now.

None of the comments were about the rape/sexual abuse allegations but rather questions I posed to Gerry in his position as a public rep.
I agree with Mark here re publishing names on this site.We should respect the views of the mods on this one.
