The fraught relationship between women and the Catholic Church in Ireland / The Catholic twilight / Patsy McGarry -- Louise Fuller -- David Carroll Cochran -- Justin Carville -- Vincent Twomey -- Eamonn Wall -- Eamon Maher -- Catherine Maignant -- Eugene O'Brien -- Michael Cronin -- Patricia Casey -- Sharon Tighe-Mooney -- Joe Cleary.

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.
