Granda and Me

For the year and the month that鈥檚 in it, I thought this deserves another outing鈥�

Granda and Me

Granda had a 鈥榯hing鈥� about the church 鈥� he was excommunicated during the Irish War of Independence for carrying a gun and that turned his head. Even though Bishop Harty took him back to the fold afterwards and blessed him and everything, Granda never went back spiritually. He just went through the motions
