Any readers of this blog comments on Finola Kennedy's 'Frank Duff'? If so, much appreciated if this blogger could have them.
Ulick O'Connor in his review of it in 'The Sunday Independent' made reference to Archbishop Ryan not allowing Mass to be celebrated in Legion of Mary hostels.
Presumably Ulick O'Connor has got that wrong as Archbishop Ryan offered a full apology to Frank Duff.
John C McQuaid was the offending prelate.
Frank Duff's 1930s Ireland was a different Ireland to where we are now.
