A new language [View all]

"The Church has to find a new language which will be understood and heard by people," Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin, one of the Church's most senior figures, told reporters after mass at the city's St Mary's Pro Cathedral.

"We have to see how is it that the Church's teaching on marriage and family is not being received even within its own flock."
