Eamon Martin

Are celebrities easier to forgive than the rest of us? That discussion coming up in just a moment.

Also this morning, what hope for the people of the Middle East three years after the most devastating violence? And Archbishop Eamon Martin joins us from Rome to talk about Drumcree and other things.

Your thoughts on what you're hearing always welcome.

You can WhatsApp us on 03030 80 55 55.

And, uh, so the- I believe the diocese has petitioned for that, and now canonical process and due process will follow.

Thank you very much indeed for joining us this morning.

The Catholic primate of all Ireland, Archbishop Eamon Martin, joining us live from Rome this Sunday morning.

Now, it was three years ago that all hell was unleashed in the Middle East in some of the worst violence that the region has witnessed in decades.

Those attending included lawyers, philosophers and politicians and the head of Open AI Ireland.

The RC Archbishop, Eamon Martin, and Anglican Archbishop John McDowell have also been working together this week to address the deadlock over Drum Cree, urging a peaceful resolution and return to reconciliation.

Yesterday there was a large rally in support of the nationalist Garvahi Road community and once again Orange Men were stopped from marching along it.

But I began by asking them about AI, first Archbishop Martin, on whether he trusts the AI companies to do the right thing.

And of course, what you're talking to father about there is the discussions in school, Catholic education.

Archbishop Eamon Martin, again, has been speaking to Catholic educators.

There is an article on the Catholic bishops website, Archbishop Eamon Martin's address to educators in Mullingar.

We won't go into this in any depth, but just worth a read, you know, but he's talking about the cardinal virtues, you know, and what Christian education really is, what we're, you know, what we're trying to do with Christian education.

And of course, looking at those issues, vengeance, justice, God's justice, this is all part of it.

And we had...

We were attending an event last week to launch new senior cyclory framework, and Archbishop Eamon Martin was there, and he described our Catholic schools as schools of heart.

And, you know, I thought that was so beautiful about, you know, how it shapes the person and, that the students will become.

And I really hope in 10, 20 years' time, uh, when I'm thinking of retirement, that, you know, we haven't lost the beauty of our Catholic schools, um, and, you know, the uniqueness of what the Gospel gu- values give to our schools, um, forming their hearts and helping them to discern wisely and, you know, to give back and give that level of service that's needed in our world.
