A GROUP of radical priests is pressing for a historic first national
assembly of the Irish Catholic Church in response to the clerical child
abuse crisis.
"The time may well be right for some form of assembly or synod of the Irish church," the Association of Catholic Priests said.
The
association also announced it hoped to have an early meeting with the
hierarchy to begin the process of organising an assembly or synod,
inclusive of all sections of opinion in the church, including lay
people.
They agreed the examination of the structures of the
church must include dialogue in relation to sexuality, clerical celibacy
and the exclusion of women.
