THE priest who completed a nine-day trek over the Church's handling of clerical child abuse allegations last night appealed to Bishop John Magee to "do himself a favour" and step down.Father Michael Mernagh said he could see no logical way in which the Bishop of Cloyne could now remain at his post.
"I'm afraid his position on this is really untenable," he told the Irish Independent.
"I actually believe that he would be doing himself a favour by stepping down."
The 70-year-old priest walked from St Colman's Cathedral in Cork to the Pro-Cathedral in Dublin as an act of Church atonement for how abuse allegations were handled.
