Great article by @FlanneryTony at tonyflannery.com/a-call-for-… Interesting to see the ngo sector of the church again ridicule Fr. Tony's perceptive analysis

Members of the @ACPInIreland all over the island of Ireland are mourning the death of Gabriel Daly. Gabriel's research, writing and capacity to connect with the core of the gospel was inspirational. @hoban_brendan @IrishCathNews @MonicaMorley @CatholicBishops @SarahRMacDonald

One of the great people in the Church, Gabriel Daly, has died. A man of courage, and clarity of thought. May he rest in peace

Parishes all over Ireland are praying for Nicole, Grace, Zoe and Luke. That each of the four of them and their broken-hearted loved ones may experience the fullness of God's grace at this unbearable time. #Clonmel @hoban_brendan @Gerry_OConnor @FlanneryTony @SarahRMacDonald

Among issues discussed during the June assembly of the Association of US Catholic Priests (@AUSCPriests) was women's ordination.
One theologian told the clerics that the issue causes Catholic women "a level of grief that is difficult to describe."

Thank you to @SarahRMacDonald for highlighting the ongoing disproportionate penalty imposed on @FlanneryTony who simply contributed perspective now regarded as mainstream to the public square. The penalties and restrictions must be lifted. @CatholicNewsIRL @CatholicBishops
