Gay ‘hurt’ over Synod marriage motion

Fresh blow for Cardinal Sean Brady as priests snub rally
Belfast Telegraph - Cardinal Sean Brady has suffered a new blow after the majority of priests in his diocese snubbed a meeting that has been organised as a show of support for the embattled leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland. Just 20 of 150 priests in the Armagh Archdiocese who had been invited to attend a prayer gathering in support of Dr Brady (below) actually showed up — with many privately voicing concerns about his leadership.

Archbishop casts doubt over future of Irish College in Rome
Irish Times - Doubts have been raised as to whether the Irish College in Rome will continue as a seminary for the Irish Catholic Church. The college was founded in 1628. Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin said yesterday a recent announcement that three priests on ...

Gays 'still facing discrimination'
Belfast Telegraph - Discrimination is still affecting too many gay men and women, the Equality Commissioner has said.
The commission received 82 inquiries from people concerned about their rights in the last year, said Michael Wardlow. There was an increase in the number of inquiries received from people harassed because of their sexual orientation when seeking access to goods and services.

Youth voices and an entitlement to Irish Anglican worship -
A theologian and youth worker last week said at the Christian Resources Exhibition in Esher that the church is facing tough competition for the time and attention of young people in an increasingly digital world.

The following article "Synod in conflict for soul of the Church of Ireland", by Alan McCann, a rector in Connor Diocese and Clerical Hon Secretary to the diocese, was published on the internet during the synod.

A slightly revised motion was presented on the Saturday of Synod by the Archbishop of Dublin and the Bishop of Down & Dromore. This incorporated aspects of their three motions presented on Thursday. Both the speakers to the motion delivered speeches which were conciliatory in both their content and tone of presentation.
The following motion was passed by the General Synod of the Church of Ireland meeting on Saturday 12th May at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin -

News from around the dioceses of the C of I
A motion from the House of Bishops was presented to Synod yesterday (Friday) with the intent that it shall be discussed today (Saturday 12th May). The motion is a minor reworking of the three motions which were ruled out or withdrawn on Thursday. The reworking is an attempt to meet the legal concerns raised.

A Presidential address.
It was what some Scots-Irish folk might call a “dreecht” morning in Dublin as members of the General Synod gathered at Christ Church Cathedral. Following the introductory prayers conducted by the Bishops of Clogher and Tuam - the most recent arrivistas in the House of Bishops - the Archbishop of Armagh, as is customary, gave his presidential address.
Bishops and their motions.
Three motions in the area of human sexuality and Christian belief (Ref - 8 a,b,& c) are being brought before the synod by two members of the House of Bishops. A cursory examination of the C of I e-mail forum, the correspondence in yesterday's Irish Times - see this site May 9 - and of an independent web site set up to rally opposition to the first of the motions (8a) indicate that a good number of clergy and laity regard the nature of the motion as being extremely contentious at worst and unhelpful at best.
The Roman Catholic Church - and especially the Vatican was heavily criticised by Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister at Stormont on Tuesday. It is certainly changed times in Ireland when such a criticism is aired and furthermore by a nationalist politician at Stormont. No one so far has suggested it is the outcome of sharing office with Ian Paisley. Bishop Donal McKeon had previously questioned the motives of politicians and others who had attacked Cardinal Brady. Another cloud in this sad area has gathered over Cork. Links to four reports follow.

Financial accountability is more than an audit exercise.
One of the principal purposes of the General Synod is to discuss the report of the Representative Body - the Church’s exchequer, which oversees investment and trusts. The report of the RB is tersely economic in its descriptions of the extremely difficult and ongoing scenario which is affecting international finances and various aspects of the RB’s remit.
The FCA is an outgrowth from Gafcon - formed by the primates of the Anglican Communion who did not attend the last Lambeth Conference principally because of the policy adopted by some member churches on same-sex relationships. Focus presents two reports and an article.

General Synod evokes memories. Those fortunate enough to remember the old General Synod Hall may have recollections of a style of synod which was much more a debating chamber than some of the on-message, death by power-point presentations used in more recent years to guide members through the formal proposals of major reports.

There is discord in the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, tension between priests who live beside and converse with their parishioners and church leaders who increasingly seem intent on no conversation at all and in slamming shut the doors and windows and through imposing traditional disciplines. The press continues to record the pain: Church not in communion with changed beliefs of Irish Catholics; Curia is stifling debate on church reform, says silenced priest; Most Irish want married priests; Pope has consistently come down on dissent within the church like a hammer. Malachy O’Doherty, a Belfast based journalist says “The autocratic approach of Pope Benedict has brought the Catholic Church in Ireland to the brink of schism.”
