Parish meetings on Cloyne Report ‘just a proposal’

CATHOLIC priests have downplayed the possibility of parish hall meetings to discuss the fallout from the Cloyne Report into clerical child sex abuse, claiming it is simply a proposal.

The Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) met last week to discuss the damning report and its findings, and further meetings are likely.

Last week, the Irish Examiner reported that priests in the Diocese of Cloyne had yet to officially discuss reaction to the Cloyne Report, two months after it was published.
