Archbishop of Dublin Pays Tribute to Professor Enda McDonagh
Theologian and former Maynooth University professor of moral theology, the Revd Prof Enda McDonagh has died aged 90. Archbishop Michael Jackson paid tribute to him this evening saying the following:
“Members of the Church of Ireland will be saddened by the death of Professor Enda McDonagh, a household name in Irish religious life.
“Throughout that long life Professor McDonagh carried his learning and erudition gracefully and at the same time fearlessly.
“Those of us who now take for granted a whole range of human rights and shared ecumenical opportunities are indebted to this soft spoken and fiercely argued man of God and man of ideas – but also man of justice – for the lifting up into the public consciousness of so much that is good and needful.
“I had the privilege of knowing him and on every occasion I met him came away enriched and humbled at the same time.
“He is sorely missed and greatly appreciated. May he rest in peace.”
