Ireland’s Catholics should not be belittled

For those of us in this country who are still practising Catholics and who cherish their faith (and there are many of us who do), I find the constant negativity towards the Catholic Church, both on-air and in print, excessive and insulting.

Yes, there have been several regrettable incidents, and with tragic outcomes, committed within the Church over many years, but there now seems to be an active rebuttal of God in Irish society.
