As mentioned on Saturday, David Quinn will be on RTÉ’s Questions and Answers tonight. One of the topics up for discussion is Cardinal Brady’s recent remarks about the Civil Partnership Bill. There will be a liveblog available here, with the programme itself starting at 22:45 Irish time. Feel free to drop in and comment on the action as it happens, it should be fun! You can also watch it online from here.

 

In other news, “rebel cleric” (thank you, Indo) Father Iggy O’Donovan has expressed alarm at Cardinal Brady’s recent remarks, and has said that when it came to sexual morality and relationships, “clergymen often make the worst leaders possible” (see the article here). Nice to see that he understands the sense in keeping the Church out of the bedroom, and of not prescribing one family-type for everyone in the audience.
