This March, The Messenger reflects on the situation of the Church in China and gives some background on the problems and politics that the faithful face today; Gerry O’Hanlon SJ revisits the Synod on the Amazon, where Pope Francis declared that the myriad problems of that region will face the whole world in different ways; as St Patrick’s Day approaches, Vincent Sherlock encourages us to celebrate our culture and the difference we have made; and in an extract from his forthcoming book Did Jesus Really Exist? and 51 other questions, Nikolaas Sintobin SJ declares that Christians can learn from the insights of other religions. Our RE:LINK supplement offers some Mock exam revision for Junior Cert students. Plus all our regular features including gardening, crossword, prayer, young readers pages and a couple of delicious recipes from our readers.
