Synopsis
The Pledge is a promise that kids make during the Holy Communion process in 5th or 6th class. Confirmation season is here and 90% of the primary schools in the country remain under Catholic patronage. This is in spite of the fact that a new study revealed that more than half of teachers in Catholic schools “do not believe in a personal God”. Newstalk’s Simon Tierney joins Seán to give his report on its origins, how prevalent it is today and how it exactly works.
