Silenced Irish Priest Brings Focus to Conscience on U.S. Tour

fr. tony Tony Flannery, an Irish priest censured by the Vatican and ordered to cease priestly ministry, due to his support for the ordination of women, and his questioning official teaching on homosexuality, contraception and the validity of second relationships, will tour the U.S. speaking on the importance of conscience in the Roman Catholic Church. 

The Catholic Tipping Point tour, sponsored by WOC and 11 progressive Catholic organizations, will cover 18 U. S. cities between October 22 and November 14, 2014.

Tony Flannery has been a member of the Redemptorist Congregation for over 50 years, and is a founder of the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) in Ireland. He is the author of several books including A Question of Conscience, Keeping the Faith, and The Death of Religious Life. 

After being ordered to silence and suspended from priestly ministry, Fr. Flannery spent a year trying to reach agreement with Vatican officials. When this was not successful, he began speaking publicly on the need for reform in the Church.
