Updated with a link to an interview of Tony Flannery by Monica Morley on Mid West Radio’s Faith Alive programme.
Tony Flannery posted a very interesting start of the year reflection on his personal blog.
It is nothing less than scandalous that Tony still is “withdrawn” from ministry and that this situation is allowed to continue by those in authority.
“I am inclined to believe that if there is to be any change in my situation it will happen this year. If not, then I will have to accept that things will remain as they are for whatever amount of life I have left. I can cope, I think, with not ministering as a priest any more. At my age I wouldn’t be doing much anyway. But living within an institution that acts in such a cavalier and unjust fashion, and is quite happy to sit with that injustice and do nothing about it, will be the difficult part.”
The Documentary The Last Priests is being shown again on RTE 1 television on Sunday 1st September in the evening at 11.05 pm.
And The Last Nuns on Sunday 8th, also at 11.05pm
Thank you, Soline and Liamy.
