  The Pope and a New Catholic Ireland
  When Pope John Paul II went to Ireland in 1979, half the population turned out to see him. Four decades later, the Ireland that Pope Francis visited last weekend, was a changed country with a Catholic Church rocked by the scandal of clerical sexual abuse. The Crowds were much smaller, the tone subdued and the Pope was asking the country for forgiveness.  Ahead of the visit, Nuala McGovern returned to her home city of Dublin, to gauge the mood of  a more secular Ireland where the role of the church has greatly diminished and changes to the constitution have included the vote to legalise same sex marriage, reform to strict abortion laws and divorce (BBC)  ​
