Ted Schmidt gives a strong reaction to the Irish Bishops’ refusal to meet with the ACP. His comments were first published on 6 November, in his blog, Theology in the Vineyard
With acknowledgement to the Western People, this is Brendan Hoban’s reflection on the great gathering last Monday in Dublin’s Regency Hotel: ‘Towards an Assembly of the Irish Church’. Brendan is a member of the ACP’s Leadership team.
Writing in his blog tonyflannery.com, Tony Flannery questions why changes were made in some of the literature circulated by the organisers of the world meeting of families. He suggests that “the message that is being taken from withdrawal of the (original) leaflet is that only marriage relationships that are in complete accord with Church teaching are welcome at the event.”

We are challenged by today’s Gospel to stand ready for our Master’s return in glory. We gather to worship God who sustains us all the days of our life, and beyond.
