Catechesis – Fr Willie Doyle: Butter, Christmas Pudding and Heroic Virtue – Frs Adrian Crowley and John Hogan

Radio Maria Ireland

About

Fr Adrian Crowley is joined by Fr John Hogan on the eve of the closing of the diocesan stage of the cause for Fr Willie Doyle SJ, the First World War chaplain who refused to stay back behind the lines. Fr John explains what happens next as the cause moves to Rome, and why it is the first ever for the Diocese of Meath. Between them they share the stories that make Fr Willie so human: the butter he kept failing to give up, the night he lay face down in the mud for a doctor, the Christmas pudding that arrived with an unexpected occupant, and a healing from the 1940s that would have been the perfect miracle if only the paperwork had survived.
