Through a series of revealing interviews with current members of the clergy, former priests, Catholic laity, the LGBTQ+ community and the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in Ireland, he asks what the future holds for Catholicism in Ireland. Kevin also questions whether the ongoing worldwide Synodal process will deliver answers and chart a way forward.
