    Fr. Morrough O'Brien

    I too like Fr. Ryan was sure that the faithful would react against the new translation, but of course if I'm not going to speak up why should they? This might be a bit 'strong', but saying the mass ha

    As an English seminarian, I am saddened to read of this call to action by this small number of priests. The Church in England is starting to take great strides in promoting Vocation in all its forms w

    When I make a post on this site I know that within the ACP I am been heard by the heart of God’s church on earth, there is no stonewalling here as we have transparency. This opportunity for ALL to b

    Fr Gerard Barry

    I do not know any of these priests and bear them no ill-will but they do not speak to my reality as a priest in the Prison Service where the new translation, as clumsy as it is in places, provided an

    Eddie Finnegan
