The Upcoming Irish Synod: The Incredible (Catholica) Hulk
“We can do business with the left… we can do business with the right… because tradition is essential. It is the means by which the faith has been passed on to us. It is impossible to understand Catholicism without it.”
Join Fr. Brendan Kilcoyne for episode 56 of ‘The Brendan Option’ where he offers more food for thought regarding the upcoming Irish Synod and looks at the balance between the left and right… and the possibility of a “left-wing traddie”!
