Fr. Philip Kemmy from the Diocese of Raphoe in Co. Donegal, Ireland speaks about the beauty of the 'Angelus' prayer and also discusses the appalling broadcast by Ireland's national broadcaster, Radio Telefís Éireann (RTE),  who broadcast a "comedy" piece on New Years Eve 2020 which was nothing short of disgusting and extremely offensive to Christians. 

In this broadcast, RTE showed 'God' being led away from the courts by police for "...forcing himself on a young middle Eastern migrant and allegedly impregnating her against her will..."  This has naturally sparked outrage by some Church leaders and clergy as well as many of the faithful.
