"We have neglected the tiny sentences of life and now the big ones are beyond our reach."
That's a quote from Seabastian Barry's 'Secret Scripture'. Dr Grene is talking about his relationship with his wife.
But the sentence has a perfect fit in the context of priesthood and religious life where men and women say so little of meaning or worth to one another.
What real words do priests say in their parishes, to their parishioners?
Is it not as clear as day that priesthood in Ireland today is simply dysfunctional?
What to do?
