Excellent article in this month's The Furrow by Michael G Olden, who is priest of the diocese of Waterford and living in Tramore.
He writes, "We have to develop proper and professional techniques of composition. We have to avoid maudlin and irrelevant autobiography and tangential meanderings which can sometimes take possession of us all. For such disciplined professionalism I do not think we were well prepared."
Elsewhere he writes, "As we emerged from our seminaries we did not know what we were theologically".
Has anything changed?
Michael G Olden was ordained a priest in June 1960.
