ACP

@MichaelPTKelly ACP supports opening deaconate to females; champions synodlaity & believe if embraced will yield a harvest of gifted lay people who will act as leaders; support the ending of compulsory celibacy & favours married priests; & encourages those called to the celibate priesthood .

I look forward to hearing from the Association of Catholic Priests their strategies for increasing vocations, using examples that have worked elsewhere. It's very easy to point out the obvious. independent.ie/irish-news/eve…

@ACPInIreland members express sadness and appreciation on the news of the death of Fr. Dermot McCarthy our friend and colleague. May his soul soar into God's eternal love.

Members of the @ACPInIreland are deeply upset about the violent attack on our colleague Fr. John Muray. Prayerful support to John, people of Downpatrick and families impacted by the weekend's cruel violence. Appreciation for all frontline workers. @IrishTimes @Independent_ie

@ACPInIreland Advisory group and leadership team meeting today. @IrishCathNews @SarahRMacDonald @MichaelKellyIC @derrydiocese @catholicthing @CatholicIreland @CatholicBishops @BishopFintan @we_irl

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

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

In solidarity with our colleagues in the USA:

@MichaelKellyIC Any possibility that information is shared about the methodology used, sample size, and who completed the survey?

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

Good to see a response to #SebastianBarry's comment "I am violently against having a priesthood".
