A Reaction To The Recent Announcement From The Vatican Regarding Blessing Same Sex Unions
10/09/23 • 18 min
This episode is slightly different as it is Conor on his own, sharing his thoughts about the recent headlines from the Vatican regarding the blessing of same sex unions.
The language the Vatican uses when talking about LGBTQI+ people can often be so upsetting and hurtful, and this episode discusses a way forward for people of faith who are made feel 'less than' by the Church. Hopefully the main takeaway from this episode for anyone who has a faith and who feels excluded from the Church, is that they know there is a wonderful community of Celebrants across Ireland and further afield who want to celebrate them while also including their faith and beliefs.

Remembering Seosamh Ó Broin: Laoch An Chultúir Inse Chór
Seosamh Ó'Broin was a historian, Irish language advocate, and member of the community in Inchicore. His impact on Inchicore is far reaching, from campaigning to save and redevelop Kilmainham Gaol, to building a local cultural centre in the heart of the village, to recording the fascinating history of the area in his wonderful book, "Inchicore, Kilmainham and District".
Seosamh sadly passed away on 30th October 2022, and this episode of the podcast celebrates the wonderful legacy Seosamh has left for the people of Inchicore and beyond. I'm joined by Michael Flanagan, Deirdre Farrell, Áine Dé Cleir, and Gerri English to pay tribute to Seosamh and celebrate his impact on the area.
The Halla Conradh Na Gaeilge in Inchicore continues to be a big part of the community and you can keep up to date with their events on Twitter / X here
