The Golden Rule gets an airing

From a report on a repossession hearing in County Mayo:

The day’s sitting began in bizarre fashion with a Liam Mac Coisteala reading a Papal decree to the court, which he called the ‘Supreme Directive of Pope Francis’. He referred to a quote from Pope Francis, himself quoting the Gospel of Matthew: “Let us remember the Golden Rule: ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’.”

“This rule points us in a clear direction,” quoted Mr Mac Coisteala.

He went on to say Pope Francis had restored the Golden Rule through his Papal Decree and ‘therefore all repossession cases must be struck out immediately’.
“Any orders that have been given are now null and void and homes must be restored to victims immediately. Church, State and Banks must enter into dialogue immediately with us the people. We are not going away until the injustices are seriously addressed,” he said, finishing to applause from some people in the public gallery.
