An Alternative Priesthood (1981x11)

:

The direction in which the Roman Catholic Church is moving in Latin America is worrying the Vatican. Military dictatorships are being overthrown with the active participation of priests; industrial disruption is condoned from the pulpit; Bishops and Archbishops support the use of violence. The Pope re-affirms the spiritual nature of the priesthood, but for three Irish priests the reality of a parish in Brazil has taken them a long way from their seminary days in Dublin.
