A cry from the depths
Chris McDonnell writes in the Catholic Times about the urgency of the cry from the depths about the future of our church.

The first stimulus to begin reform is a recognition that current circumstances cry out with the urgency of a wounded child.”Former Anglican married priest to take over Catholic parish
Brian Eyre expresses concerns about the illogical norms that are being followed in ordaining married men, former Anglican priests, while excluding Catholic priests who wish to marry from official ministry.
