Regarding the cancelled Croagh Patrick pilgrimage last Sunday. It was correct to cancel but not necessarily right. I can understand the officials who made the decision to cancel… but people by the thousands still went up anyway.

Religious faith should act as a protest movement against consumerism, according to the Catholic Archbishop of Tuam, Michael Neary.

Was it a coincidence that the Croagh Patrick pilgrimage was down 5,000 souls this year and that a march in Cavan, for Seán Quinn, had an estimated attendance of 5,000?

The annual Reek Sunday pilgrimmage is taking place at Croagh Patrick today.
