Rage.

Cardinal Keith O'Brien's apology has made me irrationally angry. For someone with a vehement and narrow minded view of same-sex marriage ("madness... a grotesque subversion) he is far from an exemplar of sexual piety.  His 'apology' is equally as nauseating and insipid:

"However, I wish to take this opportunity to admit that there have been times that my sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal."  - Or perhaps just as a fucking human being? You hypocrite.

My rage is not allowing me to write as eloquently as I had hoped.  Although I am experiencing a perverse pleasure in watching this man fall from grace so publically.  His shame is delicious.

All this bile aside I hope those he harmed have found some peace at last.
