Reviews

[The Catholic Church in Ireland Today] showcased both a broad range of perspectives and a lively exchange of ideas designed to reach various audiences, from teachers and students to pastors and parish workers. . . .Throughout the essays, the writers agree the potential is great for an Irish Catholicism that otherwise stands liberated from long relationships to political power and social privilege. Using various approaches, the contributors assert that this is a time of tremendous opportunity for Catholicism, a time when it can discover both a more authentic and prophetic voice in Irish belief and practice. * Irish Times * The volume is of great value to anyone desiring an understanding of the Irish Church today. It addresses the situation in a nonpolemical way and suggests that there is a way forward that requires recognizing the changes in Irish society. Highly recommended for college, university, and seminary libraries, and larger parish libraries, especially those which have large Irish-American populations. * Catholic Library World * This collection is a clarion call. Intelligent and wide-ranging, it clearly demonstrates that the Irish Catholic Church needs a new kind of leadership and thinking. -- Colum Kenny, Dublin City University
