This book traces the steady decline in Irish Catholicism from the
visit of Pope John Paul II in 1979 up to the Cloyne report into
clerical sex abuse in that diocese in 2011. The young people
awaiting the Pope's address in Galway were entertained by two of
Ireland's most charismatic clerics, Bishop Eamon Casey and Fr
Michael Cleary, both of whom were subsequently revealed to have
been engaged in romantic liaisons at the time. The decades that
followed the Pope's visit were characterised by the increasing
secularisation of Irish society. Boasting an impressive array of
contributors from various backgrounds and expertise, the essays in
the book attempt to trace the exact reasons for the progressive
dismantling of the cultural legacy of Catholicism and the
consequences this has had on Irish society. -- .
