Book Synopsis The Catholic Church in Ireland Today by : David Carroll Cochran
Download or read book The Catholic Church in Ireland Today written by David Carroll Cochran and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-01-22 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Church that once enjoyed devotional loyalty, political influence, and institutional power unrivaled in Europe, the Catholic Church in Ireland now faces collapse. Devastated by a series of reports on clerical sexual abuse, challenged publicly during several political battles, and painfully aware of plunging Mass attendance, the Irish Church today is confronted with the loss of its institutional legitimacy. This study is the first international and interdisciplinary attempt to consider the scope of the problem, analyze issues that are crucial to the Irish context, and identify signs of both resilience and renewal. In addition to an overview of the current status and future directions of Irish Catholicism, The Catholic Church in Ireland Today examines specific issues such as growing secularism, the changing image of Irish bishops, generational divides, Catholic migrants to Ireland, the abuse crisis and responses in Ireland and the United States, Irish missionaries, the political role of Irish priests, the 2012 Dublin Eucharistic Congress, and contemplative strands in Irish identity. This book identifies the key issues that students of Irish society and others interested in Catholic culture must examine in order to understand the changing roles of religion in the contemporary world.

Download or read book Brehon Laws written by Jo Kerrigan and published by The O'Brien Press Ltd. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at the lifestyle and values of ancient Ireland Thousands of years ago, Celtic Ireland was a land of tribes and warriors; but a widely accepted, sophisticated and surprisingly enlightened legal system kept society running smoothly. The brehons were the keepers of these laws, which dealt with every aspect of life: land disputes; recompense for theft or violence; marriage and divorce processes; the care of trees and animals. Transmitted orally from ancient times, the laws were transcribed by monks around the fifth century, and what survived was translated by nineteenth-century scholars. Jo Kerrigan has immersed herself in these texts, revealing fascinating details that are inspiring for our world today. With atmospheric photographs by Richard Mills, an accessible introduction to a hidden gem of Irish heritage

Book excerpt: “I know of no other task that an adult will undertake in life that is as demanding, challenging, responsible, complicated and never-ending as parenting ... [but], like the vast majority of parents, I had no real preparation for parenthood and received no training or direct help during the whole process.” Raising a child is not an easy task, and there is no simple rulebook to follow. The goal of any parent is to guide and nurture their child from babyhood to becoming a mature, capable, independent, responsible and self-sufficient adult, but how do you achieve this, especially during the tricky teenage years? In this thoughtful and compassionate book, John Lonergan shares his own parenting philosophy, developed over twenty years of talking to and with parents and teenagers. He emphasises the importance of communication and consensus, arguing that without good communication you cannot be a successful parent, and tackling subjects like: Developing your parenting objectivesThe importance of self-esteemAccepting your child for who they areBullyingUnderage drinking and drug useSuicideSex education and sexuality Parenting: Raising Your Child in Ireland Today will help you guide your child in their journey to adulthood. While it is primarily aimed at the parents of pre-teens and teens, it is relevant to children of all ages.

Book Synopsis I Read the the News Today, Oh Boy by : Paul Howard
Download or read book I Read the the News Today, Oh Boy written by Paul Howard and published by Picador. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tara Browne was an extraordinary, glamorous figure for a brief moment. He grew up in aristocratic and bohemian luxury (his mother was a Guinness heiress); he walked out of school at eleven and never went back; he moved to Paris, where he knew the backstreet jazz bars like a local. At 17, he arrived in London, just as the sixties were beginning to swing, and became part of a new elite cultural world. His friends included, of course, the Beatles and the Stones, as well as figures from film, fashion, photography, and a few more dubious sorts on the fringes of the criminal and low-life worlds. Tara Browne died tragically young, at twenty-one, and became a symbol of the loss of innocence of this era of optimism. Paul Howard has interviewed more than 100 people who knew Tara Browne, including his widow Nicki and his brother Garech, to piece together the extraordinary story of his life.

Presenting the latest cutting-edge scholarship by a new generation of historians of Ireland, The Princeton History of Modern Ireland features narrative chapters on Irish history followed by thematic chapters on key topics. The book highlights the global reach of the Irish experience as well as commonalities shared across Europe, and brings vividly to life an Irish past shaped by conquest, plantation, assimilation, revolution, and partition.

Book Synopsis The Gael Becomes Irish by : Tomás Mac Síomóin
Download or read book The Gael Becomes Irish written by Tomás Mac Síomóin and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this companion volume of his "The Broken Harp", Tomás Mac Síomóin explains the reasons for the rapidly diminishing importance of Gaelic and the Gaeltacht in contemporary Irish life where international considerations increasingly determine our national cultural parameters. He also explains how Official Standard Irish came to be a repository of archaic forms of the language - and why such archaism is foisted on learners who resent it. He describes a simpler modernised Irish, based on current Gaeltacht speech, would better serve their purpose. Or, he asks, has colonialism sunk such deep roots in the Irish psyche that a need to restore our original language and culture no longer has relevancy for citizens of this Anglophone nation, Ireland?
