There is a pressing pastoral need to recognise the hopes and dreams, the disappointments and frustrations of all those Catholics who had believed that Vatican II would bring about reform and renewal in the church. This is the need which Gabriel Daly sets out to address, out of a lifetime given to the study and teaching of theology, in The Church: Always in Need of Reform.
Catherine McAuley was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1778. In 1824 she used inheritance to build a large House of Mercy where she and other lay women would shelter homeless women, reach out to the sick and dying and educate poor girls.

Matthew's gospel usually heads the list of the three synoptic gospels because he was an eye-witness from the beginning. A more scientific study of the synoptic gospels showed us that the question is not quite so simple.
In this book, a sample of questions are addressed by a team of scholars from across the world including Timothy Radcliffe, Mary Catherine Hilkert, and Albert Nolan. These authors, skilled in biblical studies, theology and history, and personally committed to the duty and craft of preaching, help explore the implications of what the preacher attempts to do.
This new book tells the story of how a movement that began in Languedoc in 1216 reached Norman Ireland by 1224—and how, from that point onward, the Irish Dominicans made a varied and valuable contribution to Church and society over eight centuries.
They worked as preachers and educators, fostered the arts and learning, and developed new pastoral approaches. They supported the Irish diaspora in times of need, and carried their mission far beyond Ireland—to the West Indies, Australia, Iran and South America. From producing medieval manuscripts to launching publishing houses and embracing digital media, they remained consistently committed to the service of the Gospel.
Drawing on research carried out by a range of scholars over the past 50 years, The Irish Dominicans, 800 Years brings together stories and perspectives not previously published in book form.
Edited by Terence Crotty O.P., Scripture teacher and regent of studies for the Irish Dominican province.
