Archbishop: TDs supporting bill guilty of co-operating with evil

Archbishop Eamon Martin yesterday warned that TDs who support the bill would be guilty of co-operating with evil.

In a last-ditch appeal by the Catholic Church to urge the Government against enacting the law, the coadjutor archbishop of Armagh said excommunication from the Church is a rare phenomenon.

However, he warned that Catholic politicians might be forced into serious conversations with their priests about their own personal journeys if they vote for the bill.
