RTE carried a tribute to the late Fr John O'Donohue on Sunday evening.
Among the points the late poet, priest and writer made were:
Fundamentalists can never have a real conversation with history.
The church has a pathological fear of women.
When we go into a restaurant we never order everything on the menu so why not a la carte Christianity?
Few are availing of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and yet we are living in a time when so many people are 'confessing' at every possible public forum.
Certainly great topics for discussion.
There was a wonderful newness and openness to the ideas expressed by the late John O'Donohue in the Would You Believe programme last evening.
