Good God - Its Joe!

A NEW magazine show hosted by RTÉ daytime radio presenter Joe Duffy is to replace Mass and Protestant religious services, broadcast once a month on RTÉ 1 television.

As part of its religious programming, RTÉ broadcasts Mass or other Christian worship services each Sunday at 11.15am.

However once a month from February 22nd, these services will not air and will be replaced by Spirit Level presented by Radio 1 Live Line host Duffy.

The show is described by RTÉ as a magazine series exploring the Christian life of today’s Ireland through a mixture of discussions, interviews, features and music.

Church worship broadcasts were still an important aspect of RTÉ religious output, “but it is only one aspect” the station said.

It added that the various Christian churches were “hugely supportive” of the move which was an enrichment not a diminution of its religious programming.

The new show will be asking challenging religious and ethical questions, the station said, such as “Does God really love the poor?” “Does God hate gays?”, “Can Christianity save the planet?” and “How would Jesus vote?”

The programmes will feature one-to-one interviews with public figures and inspirational individuals talking about the impact of faith in their lives and the effect of life on their faith.

Former Big Brother contestant Anna Nolan, who was once a novice nun, will be presenting outside broadcasts.

She will be travelling from county to county in search of stories that reflect the place of faith in today’s Ireland.

So the fella who spends a devilish amount of time and energy deviously winding up idiot callers to Liveline is in fact a man of God-lite.

Joe .....

Can fix it, yes he can.....

with the help of god and his callers.

What a stupid name sounds like a DIY segment on Live at 3.

Well well well...so "The Dufficer" has found God ! - an about time too this poster would opine.

Only once a month you say ?

So having endured his nasal Ballyer accent for 5 week days - we now have to listen to him on the Sabbath ?

Will it be a sensible, well constructed and researched show I wonder or something like Liveline ??

Why they continue to overuse this man when there are other more competent broadcasters available I will never know

I didn't realise Joe was a Jesus fan.

It would have been a good idea if it was just a religious show that included all religions. As it stands it seems like it'll be a load of Christians trying to convince themselves that God really does exist and loves them better than all the heathens that they hate.

Nah they are going to have an Athesis on the panel each week he will interject every now and then stating

"I cann't beleive that you fools actually beleive all of that bible stuff. The only good thing to come out of this is the money that I get from the licence fee for appearing on TV to talk down to you fools, however I do think I am getting pay far too much for this tokenistic position on the panel and am againist any of the licence being spent on "religous" programming"
