Get rid of the Catholic Church’s ability to bully and threaten us

A PARISH priest in Co Meath has come up with a novel form of penance for lapsed Catholics, which is tantamount to casting their children into an educational limbo.

Fr Michael Daly has put Stamullen on the map by making children of wayward parishioners feel unwelcome.

Unless their parents recant, reconsider and resume full membership of the Church, their children will be banished from his school. Article 42 of the Constitution apparently does not apply in the parish of Stamullen.
