A Co. Wexford based priest is to hold a series of talks and films arguing that it will take more than economics and politics to build a sustainable future for Ireland.Fr Paddy Banville, curate in New Ross, will host the events in St Leonard's Church running weekly up to the end of March.
''Could anyone really believe that the Church, the economy, all the different strata of human life are running parallel, never meeting?
''The current financial crisis is at root both spiritual and moral,'' Fr Banville said.
Fr Banville says we need to realise ''we're pulling the carpet from under our feet'' so we can inject a renewed sense of urgency to the Catholic Church.
''The Church needs to fight big time and get our voice heard. We have a choice - are we going to choose lightness or darkness because politicians are only a reflection of the culture we have all developed. We need to look in the mirror or we'll make the same mistakes over and over.''
