Other priests will vote yes in referendum, says Fr Iggy

A Catholic priest who is planning to defy church teaching and vote in favour of the upcoming same sex marriage referendum has said he believes other priests will also vote yes.

Although he disagrees with gay marriage, Limerick-based priest Fr Iggy O’Donovan says he is “willing to allow those that believe to live out their lives”.

Speaking on LIVE95Fm radio the Augustinian priest admits he could never preside over a gay marriage ceremony but said he is still willing to “fight for people” to hold their views.
