Ring changes over The Angelus

Open Letter to Minister for Communication, Energy and Natural Resources

Dear Minister,

In your new role as minister with responsibility for broadcasting may I draw your attention to the prime-time slots assigned to the Angelus on RTÉ 1 radio and television? In my view, religion should be treated as a commodity in the same way as other basic needs. Just as all of us crave food, water, etc., a majority of people have a need to transcend the reality of their daily struggle to survive and to find deeper meaning to their corporeal existence.
