Now is the time for a Christian parade

THIS is the 80th anniversary of the Eucharistic procession in Cork city.

There were no parades through the streets of Dublin during Easter to honour the Saviour who by his blood sacrifice not alone died for Ireland, but for the whole world.

There are far more Christians in Ireland than there are Rising enthusiasts, but perhaps it would be politically incorrect to suggest that a procession similar to the one that took place in Dublin could be permitted on the Feast of Corpus Christi this year (June 15), perhaps with the armed forces included as in earlier days.
