CWI: Fr Noel O'Brien

Earlier this week, it was reported in the media that a priest was leaving so he could then be free to marry someone he loves.

Here in CWI, we were aware of this situation for some time, but we felt it was not our place to interfere in this matter as compassion, support and best wishes are in order.

It again raises the issue of possibility of reflecting and changing the rule of celibacy, but we know we have to wait for the changing of the Pope before even consideration would be given.

We wait in eternal hope, but let us hope and pray that no more good men have to leave for happiness in their lives.

Every blessing and best wish to Fr Noel in his new life with his true love.
