    One may argue with some of his points, but the entire new translation constantly generated the sort of queasy feelings and puzzlement that this post reflects. This is the very last thing we need to in

    Fr Tom (Pat) McInerney lives in St Mary's Dominican Priory, Tallaght. However, your request does not give any address or telephone number for him to contact Des and June Wilson. If you send me this, I

    Some scholars make the suggestion that the Centurion's slave (pais) would normally have been a sexual partner in the Roman culture of that time. So the revival of the centurion's prayer at Mass could

    It appears that quite a few U.S. bishops had not realized the texts currently on the way to the printers are not the texts they approved. The addition of an estimated 10,000 changes is causing discont

    Columban Fr Pat McInerney was ordained in 1978 and went to Pakistan the following year, I think, when the Columbans opened a new mission there. So I don't think he's the person in question. Fr Seán C
