A Church Times article on ‘A “new covenant” in Ireland’ draws extensively on my latest book, Transforming Post-Catholic Ireland (Oxford 2016).
Journalist Madeleine Davies analyses the changes in the Catholic Church in Ireland in recent decades, setting them in the context of the abuse scandals and Pope Francis’ August 2018 visit — where Taoiseach Leo Varadkar called for a ‘new covenant’ between church and state.
Davies quotes extensively from my book as well as from an interview with me. She also cites results from my national survey about perceptions of the Pope’s visit.
