Forgiveness, Consumerism vs Nature and the Keening Tradition
Audrey Carville explores this weeks religious and ethical news.
Michaella McCollum came back to Ireland this week after being released from a Peru prison earlier this year. She returned to a barrage of media attention and condemnation. The Reverend Cheryl Meban looks at the wider issues surrounding this story - are women not as easily forgiven as men? Fr Sean McDonagh, Professor Jane Falkingham and the Reverend Chris Hudson debate another hot issue - how consumerism is eating up the earth's resources faster than ever - but can we really fix the environment if we don't control our reproduction levels? And crying out for lost souls - Marie-Louise Muir and Conor McKay explore why the sound of keening is no longer heard.
