Nov 01, 2007
Family and local parish community are sources of strength and inspiration to the new Cardinal elect, Archbishop Sean Brady, Primate of All Ireland, who sees the achievement of a renewal of faith as the big challenge facing the Church and the Irish people in this the opening decade of the 21st century.
(anglocelt.ie, 24/10/2007) Archbishop Brady who has been chosen by Pope Benedict XV1 to be a new Cardinal speaks in an interview in this paper about the major issues facing the Church in the current era. Referring to the shortage of vocations to the priesthood he urged bishops and priests to speak more positively about the happiness they receive from serving God in their ministry and he asked parents to once again play an active role in promoting the priesthood as a vocation in their families.
A strong advocate of a political raproachment in the North, Archbishop Brady expressed satisfaction with the way the parties were working together in the restored institutions but quoting Pope Benedict he urged the politicians to continue to work diligently to ensure that the peace endured.
