Cultural Catholicism is real
Missing the point that there are no non-denominational or inter-denominational spaces in St Vincent’s
And this does not support the claim to have 'evolved' into secularism
I think Boylan has crossed a line here.
These photos are the hospital chaplaincy service. They provide pastoral care to the sick and dying.
Most Irish hospitals have them and the service is optional.
