‘Great deal more’ behind story of Maynooth seminary

A prominent US canon lawyer has said he suspects “there is a great deal more” to the story of what is happening in the Maynooth seminary.

His intervention comes after it emerged earlier this week Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin will not be sending trainee priests to study at the national seminary this autumn.

He spoke of the “closed, strange world of seminaries” and “strange goings on” in Maynooth as well as allegations of a “homosexual culture”.
