Cardinal points to spiritual crisis in violent society
Mar 31, 2008
Cardinal Sean Brady has said there is an increasingly aggressive attitude in society leading to a more frequent resort to violence.
(Belfast Telegraph, March 30, 2008) In his homily for the Divine Mercy Sunday Mass at the Knock Shrine, the Cardinal also attacked what he said was a relentless pursuit of the vulnerabilities of celebrities and public figures, for entertainment rather than for legitimate public interest.
The Cardinal said confession has become all but a forgotten sacrament for a significant number of people and there is a spiritual crisis in our society.
