Description
Patsy McGarry's memoir, Well, Holy God, is a candid and thought-provoking account of his life as a journalist, particularly in his role as Religious Affairs Correspondent for The Irish Times. The book spans his career, covering significant events such as clerical child sex abuse cases, the vilification of Bishop Eamonn Casey, and the role of women in the Catholic Church.
McGarry also shares lighter anecdotes, including his experiences with the papacy and the people he has met along the way. Through his story, he grapples with his own history with Catholicism and the faith he lost as he came to understand the harsh realities of the Church.
This memoir offers a unique perspective on the complexities of the Catholic Church and the challenges of reporting on sensitive topics. With its blend of personal reflection and journalistic insight, Well, Holy God is a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of faith and journalism.
