RTE screend an interview with the abbot of Glenstal Abbey, Patrick Hederman, on Sunday evening. It was the Would Your Believe series and the interviewer was Gay Byrne.
It was refreshing and spiritually uplifting to hear and see a man speak about his faith in what seemed open and honest words.
There was a gentleness and honesty about the interview that is so obviously missing in Catholic publications of late.
So much of what appears in Catholic media at present sounds so angry and primitive. There seems to be a real gap between what is said and what is lived.
Fr Hederman's comment about those who appear to know the inner architecture of hell was most insightful and funny too.
Thank you to RTE, Gay Byrne and Fr Hederman.
It was also worth noting how he approved the current religious studies curriculum in Irish primary schools.

It was indeed a very refreshing interview with Mark Patrick Hederman.
The interview was part of 'The Meaning of Life' series presented by Gay Byrne I got the impression that the conservatic Catholic Gay Byrne, was not too pleased with the answers he was geeting from Hederman!
