That Sketch – For the Love of God!

There was a time when I did have a television but about five years ago I decided to get rid of same so now I depend mostly on the radio for my news.  This, of course means that I did not have the option of watching RTE One’s New Year’s Eve Countdown Show.  In view… Read More

A Tale of Two Thomases   The reign of Henry VIII is always fertile ground for writers partly because of his six wives and, with the exception of Katherine Parr, their decline and fall.  Within the last few years two powerful television Series were screened on the BBC, The Tudors and Wolf Hall.  The latter… Read More

In Roman Catholicism we have a tradition of wearing medals and scapulars and venerating relics of the saints.  For many Protestants and others, this can seem strange, even alien.  At best it may seem like worshipping graven images which is forbidden in the Bible and against the second commandment; at worst seeming to believe such… Read More
