Publisher's Synopsis
In the wake of the publication of the Murphy Report in November 2009, many people are beginning to question whether the Catholic Church in Ireland has a viable future. This book, with its eclectic mix of contributors - consisting of survivors, cultural commentators, theologians, historians, journalists, a Church of Ireland bishop - interrogates Irish Catholicism post-Murphy and asks some searching questions. This book may upset some people and anger others. It will undoubtedly not meet with universal approval. Reading this book will be a step towards understanding the watershed that the Dublin/Murphy Report represents for Irish Catholicism.
