    Delighted to see the ACP is standing behind the two men and doing it with such good heart and clarity of mind and purpose. Far from being a coterie of radicals at the edge, you are indeed at the heart

    There are a lot of issues to be addressed here and one of these is that of the priestly vow of obedience. If this is not maintained then everything else falls out of place. It is not fair to portray t
