All views must be tolerated, even Catholic

Fr Paul Connell’s address can be interpreted as offensive, writes Michael Clifford

EARLY one morning I was cornered by Rónán Mullen. It occurred in the local Spar shop.

Rónán spotted me and approached with a complaint about media coverage in RTÉ. For those who don’t know him, Rónán Mullen is a senator and a passionate advocate for a Catholic ethos in what is known in some quarters as “family values”. He has plenty of other interests, but the family values thing is what he is best known for.
