In the January 2013 issue of Catholic
Truth, a bi-monthly newsletter, the article about Matt Talbot is prefaced by
the following comment:
“Much is made of the New Year holiday in
Scotland, with many, if not most families affected in some way by the attendant
drink problems.
Alcohol related health issues and crimes,
notably domestic abuse and other violence, are a growing cause for concern in
Scotland. We cross the Irish Sea,therefore, to draw hope and inspiration from the example of Matt Talbot who used his Catholic Faith to conquer his alcohol addiction.”
