  • Tuesday 22 April - Pope Francis and the Future of the Church
    2025/04/22

    As Pope Francis is laid to rest in a simple wooden casket — a modest affair, in keeping with a humility that defined his papacy — we ask: what legacy does he leave behind? Over 12 years, Francis challenged tradition, spoke out for the poor, and confronted global issues from climate change to migration. But will the next Pope continue his reformist path, or mark a return to traditional values?

    Joining us for this in-depth debate are Jesuit theologian Gerry O’Hanlon, theologian and lecturer Gina Menzies, commentator with Gript Media Laura Perrins, and Alison O’Connor, columnist with the Sunday Times.

    Plus: as teachers struggle to afford life in the capital, we examine growing calls for a #DublinAllowance — should educators be paid more to work in the city?
