Brady's prophetic intervention

23 March 2013

The Primate of All Ireland made what turned out to be a prophetic speech during the pre-conclave meetings by suggesting that the new Pope should be marked by a love of the poor.

Cardinal Sean Brady, 74, also stressed that the Church is more likely to win people over with "prophetic actions" rather than words.

The conclave went on to elect Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio SJ who as Pope Francis has said he wants a Church that is "for the poor".

In his address Cardinal Brady is understood to have said that the Lord could be calling a new Pope who would not only engage minds but also inspire through acts of love, especially work with the poor.
