EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS: THE CHURCH “has to find new ways of being present in a new Irish society” the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin has said.
It “must rediscover its own sense of communion and sense of common purpose, overcoming its internal divisions in a spirit of love of the church and in a dialogue of charity”.
He was speaking on “The Church in the Modern World” in the RDS, Dublin, on day two of the 50th International Eucharistic Congress, of which he is president.
The venue was overcrowded, leaving an estimated 80 pilgrims protesting loudly outside and complaining about the organisation of the event.
