A Jesuit talking sense

On RTE 1's Sean O'Rourke programme today a priest was talking about the housing shortage in Limerick and what it must mean to be homeless and the trauma it causes.

He was articulate and sounded wise and kind.

Not a word about God or any of the 'holy stuff'. No navel gazing, nothing about the importance of belief, the meaning of life or why he was a priest.

But he is a Jesuit and he happens to be the parish priest in Moyross. Fr Tony O'Riordan SJ.

A breath of fresh air and so far removed from the pious gobbledegook.
