Kind and gentle words from bishop Willie Walsh

Former Bishop of Killaloe Willie Walsh was a guest on RTE Radio 1's Marian Finucane show today.

He comes across as such a kind and gentle man, a wise man. Certainly an antidote for all the church personnel who sound-off in the media.

Probably most unlikely that a man of his calibre could be made a bishop in Ireland today. And something for which the Irish church is the poorer.

Nothing strident, nothing dogmatic, nothing of the partyline from the bishop. So refreshing and inspiring.
