Priest: There will be more respect for Catholicism in RTÉ after complaint

A Kerry priest who complained about the Eucharist being described on The Late Late Show as “haunted bread” has told parishioners he has “lost the case, but won the war”.

While the complaint to the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland has not been upheld, Fr Kevin McNamara said the Catholic faith would be more “respected” by RTÉ in future programmes, he told Mass goers at the Church of the Assumption in the parish of Noyvane, near Listowel.

The comment, made on a January 6, led to 11 complaints to the BAI.
