Priests’ group urge reform in open letter to bishops

The Association of Catholic Priests (APC) has written an open letter to the bishops, urging them to convene a national assembly to address the crisis facing Catholicism in Ireland and to consider reforms.

Stressing “what we can’t afford to do is do nothing”, the APC, which represents 1,000 priests, says “it is clear to everyone, now, that we are at crisis point, entering a post-Catholic Ireland”.
