Who are the pope’s children?

March

At the beginning of the week, I wrote about The Pope’s Children by Irish author David McWilliams.

I forgot to explain the title.

It refers to the 620,000 young Irish men and women, those born in the 1970s and now between 25 and 35.

They are what McWilliams calls the creative dynamo of Ireland who are shaping its economy, attitudes, politics, art and literature.

As for the origin of their name, the Irish baby boom peaked nine months after the pope visited Ireland. Who can explain that?
