A new documentary delves into the experiences of contemporary Irish Catholic priests, reflecting on themes such as the lingering impact of abuse scandals, the solitude felt by many priests, and the potential for women to play a more prominent role in the church's future. Conversations with directors and participating priests, like Fr Joe McDonald, reveal a blend of humor and depth in addressing the challenges faced by priests in today's society and the evolution of the Catholic Church in Ireland amidst societal changes.
Someone said to me recently, 'Do you regret that there's no Mrs Joe?' and I said to them, 'Well, she had a lucky escape. I wouldn't wish that on anybody.'
