    Press Release: ACP Response to Vatican Decision on Women Deacons

    December 11 2025
    Alan McNamara
    Synodality is going nowhere and will die a death. The ACP must hate the last supper. Jesus ordained men and men only. Not because he dislikes women but because he specifically willed the ordination of men to the priesthood. This is all about control and under the guise of synodality, the ACP wants to become protestant. When has the ACP supported men in vocations to the priesthood???????

    Seán Ó Conaill – Jaja’s Question: A Blasphemous Theology?

    December 9 2025
    Sean O’Conaill
    “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matt 10:28) "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." (Matt 5:38-39) Teachings such as these by Jesus surely raised the question of what he would do if and when faced with the reality of wrongful condemnation and death - and of how good could possibly triumph over evil if he offered no resistance. We need to take most seriously the conviction of the early church that Jesus did indeed triumph - without the use of force - that a 'new creation' had begun with his crucifixion - and that the Father and the Holy Spirit had revealed themselves in this sequence also, as the necessary guarantors of Jesus' victory and of our redemption. The following possibility then presents itself: that the Trinity were - and still are - intent on demonstrating the limits of the power 'to kill the body' that has always been wielded by 'Pharaoh' - i.e. 'the kingdoms of this world', the spirit of earthly domination - to open a horizon to human history that will always lie beyond erasure by that tyrannical spirit. To put this another way, the purpose of the crucifixion / resurrection sequence was probably to demonstrate that the Kingdom of God cannot be either built or erased by force - that it lives on always in the faith, hope and charity of the people of God - in communion with the ever-present Trinity. Constantine's claim after 312 to a divine mandate for the use of force is a challenge to such an understanding - but as far as I know that claim was never verified by the church. It was also implicitly rejected by Dignitatis Humanae in 1965, and we all are well aware of the connection between Christendom and today's alienation of so many from the Gospel - and the now obvious connection between political power and corruption. St Anselm of Canterbury at the zenith of the church's political power c. 1098 was far less aware of the problematic of a church resting on state patronage and the use of force. Instead his retributory theology of atonement helped to buttress that church-state alliance at the expense of a full grasp of Jesus insistence that 'I and the Father are one' - and of the call to non-violence. The couplet 'Christus vivit' so often used by Pope Francis needs now to be understood as the Father's intention also. Death has no dominion!

    Seán Ó Conaill – Jaja’s Question: A Blasphemous Theology?

    December 9 2025
    Paddy Ferry
    An excellent piece, Seán. I haven’t really looked seriously at the present catechism (1994) but if it is still using Anselm’s idea of supstitutionary atonement then I am amazed. I was under the impression that modern scholarship had found it to be completely untenable. Even leaving the consensus of modern scholars aside, as an innocent, unquestioning Catholic, which I was well into adulthood, I was never convinced that we could or should be held responsible, inter generationally, for the sin of our (most likely mythical) ancient ancestor. As an exile in Scotland I often brag about the wonderful scholar priests - and lay scholars and women too - that we have at home in Ireland. And, Seán you must know that there are priests who will say that Jesus did not have to die to save us.

    Brendan Hoban: Sr Stan’s style broke the religious mould              

    December 10 2025
    M G-B
    My friend too died recently. We could say he left for the carnival. He was a male social worker in the next office. After working many years in third world countries and rising to the top of his religious community, he requested laicization (pro gratia.) He was now laicized, married and the father of teenagers. After his client, a male teenage street youth left his office he came to tell me what had happened in the counselling session. The youth had looked him in the eyes and asked "Are you a Priest?" "No" he said. The youth responded "You sure have the vibes of a Priest!" We enjoyed a great laugh together. The carnival of life or the seminary, he was who he was a deeply spiritual wonderful human being.
