October at 6.30 pm.
Speaking on RTE Radio 1 [‘This Week Programme’] on Sunday 9th October
Politi’s observations included the following:
“Pope Francis says the Church is not an absolute monarchy; as Peter led
the early Church with the apostles, so the pope should lead in synodality
with the bishops.”
“Francis is not just a spiritual leader but a political leader too.”
“He is pushing reforms in a difficult situation. Eleven cardinals and 100
bishops have spoken out against the changes.”
The author will elaborate on these comments in the context of his latest
book on the papacy.
The evening will include a Q & A session.
ALL WELCOME.

Brendan Hoban in his most recent Western People column wonders when the limits to loyalty will reach breaking point for Irish Catholics. “The Catholic Church, as bishops and sometimes parish priests remind us, is not a democracy but if people are used to their opinions being taken seriously in every other walk of life, they tend to raise a collective eyebrow when the Catholic Church decides that decision-making is confined to a tiny elite.”
