Dear Editor, While I can appreciate our bishops’ reluctance to make a martyr out of the supposedly silenced priest Fr Tony Flannery, it is still depressing to read that they are unwilling to take any action to prevent him from saying Mass publicly within their dioceses. Fr Flannery is out of ministry for good reason, after denying that Jesus founded our priesthood and after being willing only to uphold an understanding of the Eucharist any Protestant could have proclaimed.
Yours etc.,
