The Longest Night
John F. Deane offers a poem begun last Holy Thursday night, as a meditation on the futility of war, in the hope that any work of art may add even a tiny weight on the other side of the scale.
In Remembrance of Philip McShane, O.P.
John Littleton, preaching at a memorial Mass for Philip McShane, for decades programme leader at The Priory Institute, marvels at how Philip combined humility and delight in the glory of God with steely intelligence and wisdom.
Synodality and Church Unity in the Third and Early Fourth Centuries
Sara Parvis continues her series on synodality in the early Church. She shows how bishops, responsible for the care of the poor and for the inheritance of true faith, could be accountable to synods and other assemblies – including the Bishop of Rome.
On Forgiving
Carolyn Humphreys reflects on forgiveness as the cornerstone of our well-being.
The Baleful Influence of Management Consultants
David Begg explores the questions of how and why governments have opted to become dependent on consultants when there are many question marks over the records of some of the largest players in the market.
Irish Identity, 1966
In the hope of prompting debate, we re-print an article by the late David Thornley, historian, broadcaster, politician.
Irish Identity, 2024: Another Country
Bishop Richard Clarke, who had been a student of David Thornley, reflects on the how inter-church relations have improved since 1966.
Irish Identity, 2024: A Change of Landscape and Mind-set
Brendan Hoban, author of Holding Out for a Hero: The Long Wait for Pope Francis, sees that, by contrast with 1966, the future for the Church is lay-driven with the Church entering a completely new space where change will be part of the prevailing climate.
The Coming of the Digital Church
John O’Brien, looking to how the invention of the printing press prompted profound changes in Church life, suggests that technology changes religion. He sees no reason to expect that it will be different in the present digital age: changes in how believers relate and form community seem unavoidable.
Becoming Open to Infinity
Donagh O’Shea, O.P., author of A Holy Mess, reviews Passions of the Soul by Rowan Williams.
The Inheritance of Tomás Ó Fiaich
John Cooney reviews A Gael among the Gaels, edited by Gearóid Trimble.
