Last month, the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin, made a grim prediction: if more young priests aren't found quickly, Ireland's parishes may not have enough clergy to survive. Martin's own diocese is a case in point - it has 46 priests aged 80 or over, but only two under 35. It's a similar story all over the island. According to a 2007 study, about half of all priests in the Republic of Ireland and in Northern Ireland are aged between...
...Model S, a seven-seater family sedan that will have a base price of $49,900 after a federal tax credit that will [over the longer term] cost the equivalent of a car that retails for $35,000, given the relatively expensive cost of gasoline vs. electricity," says Diarmuid O'Connell, Tesla's vice president of business development...
...your father's Irish Catholicism. Attendance at mass is down, birth control is commonplace, and not one new priest was ordained last year in the Dublin archdiocese - which estimates that more than 100 of its priests since 1940, about 4% of the total, have abused children.

The Rev. Diarmuid Martin, a Vatican official and family friend, summarized the shared sense of sorrow and shock. Noting that many of the mourners were journalists, including Natasha's father Victor, an editor for the Associated Press in Rome, Father Martin observed, "We've written or spoken about suffering, about anguish, about tragedy, about...
...testimony is universal that prayer, more than food or liquid, is the sustaining force of this Pope's life. He makes decisions "on his knees," says Monsignor Diarmuid Martin, secretary of the Vatican's Justice and Peace Commission. Sometimes John Paul will prostrate himself before the altar. At other times he will sit or kneel with eyes closed, his forehead cradled in his left hand, his face contorted intensely, as if in pain. At this time, too, he brings to his God the prayer requests of others. His prie-dieu, at the front center of the chapel, has a padded...
