The fact that the church is convinced of not having the right to confer priestly ordination on women is now considered by some as irreconcilable with the European Constitution.
Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.
That is we believed the supreme duty of the parent who only was permitted to claim in some degree the priestly office and function since it is his creative and protecting power which alone approaches the solemn function of Deity.
I mean the beauty of being a writer is it's not like being a swimmer. When they were talking about our Olympic swimmers and they'd say 'Oh she's so old ' and she's all of 25 or something. So the beauty for a writer is that you can keep doing it right into your dotage and I hope to be able to keep doing it as long as I can get away with it yeah.
