PROTEST IN SUPPORT OF ATHENRY PRIEST AT PAPEL NUNCIO IN DUBLIN

Date Published: 27-Jan-2013

The residence of the Papal Nuncio in Dublin is to be picketed today, in protest against the Catholic Church’s treatment of well-known Athenry-based Fr. Tony Flannery.

Last week Fr. Flannery revealed on Galway bay Fm how he had been censored by the Vatican for his views on homosexuality and women priests, and called the Vatican’s systems "unfair and unjust."

The protest has been organised by the group ‘We Are Church Ireland’.

Members say ordinary people have to stand up for good and honest members of the Church.
