From the book, Catholics, by Brian Moore comes the film of the same name.
The film 'Catholics' was made in the early 70s and priests, at the time, told their flocks that: "It can never happen".
Well, it did.
In the film, the great Cyril Cusack plays Fr Manus who makes a stirring and profound discourse around 02.15 - that says it all.
If ever you have a chance to see the film in its entirety, do so; you will not be disappointed but you may be surprised at the ending.
The second great shame is that Ireland today is but a pale shadow of its Catholic roots - would it be too great a connective leap to say that, with the loss of spirituality (mainly derived from the Latin Mass), came a vacuum that brought secularism, apostasy and...paedophilia?
