Product Description
John Cooney was religious affairs correspondent with the Irish Times from the 1970's - this is his concise study of the complex role the Church played in first actively influencing the new Irish state, and subsequently, as it's power waned, seeking to continue to exercise control and influence on social policy.
Published 1986 - just before the first ( failed) divorce referendum, the book concentrates on issues from the 1970's and 1980's - such as abortion, the legalisation of contraception, and the so called 'liberal agenda'
