Many of these clandestine relationships involve homosexual clergy. <br />Bishop Treanor is aware of the majority of these relationships & chooses to condone them by his silence. This pretence has an ever approaching day of reckoning !<br />There are 2 topics in particular which Bishop Treanor avoids speaking of in public; <br />Diocesan finances & the crisis of the Priesthood in Down & Connor.<br />I expect much scandal to be exposed in these 2 areas in the near future.<br /><br />Priest of Down & Connor Diocese.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-32198563871251209662015-10-04T17:42:25.786+01:002015-10-04T17:42:25.786+01:00I don't support this gay priest's announce...I don't support this gay priest's announcement. It is a vain & deeply cynical & self-absorbed thing to do especially given the upcoming Synod. This priest needs to pray & reflect upon what he has done & seek forgiveness. Peace.

Thank God someone nearer the centre of the church has had the courage to come out and hopefully will now shine a spotlight on the terrible nonsense at the heart of the Roman church,namely that a considerable number of those who impliment and enforce the ban on known homosexuals entering priesthood are themselves homosexual. Many of them in relationships. Stinking hypocrits the lot of them ! Go for it Monsignor ! Pat you must know at least 7 bishops who are gay and 4 of them are either in or were in relationships. Such hypocrites Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
