Conference on the family

The Irish Catholic and The Iona Institute are hosting a conference, Pope Francis & the future of the family in Ireland.

Keynote speakers are Archbishop Eamon Martin, Papal Nuncio Charles Brown, columnists Nuala O'Loan, Bairbre Cahill, Breda O'Brien and David Quinn.

Will the conference be discussing the future of the family in Ireland or the Catholic family in Ireland?

Does it not make more sense to have people with different opinions talk at such a conference?

It is has been reported to this blog that the papal nunico to Ireland Charles Brown has on numerous occasions been invited to talk to the Association of Catholic Priests. The papal nuncio has so far accepted none of the invitations.

The Nuncio will not step outside his comfort zone, which very much includes Knock, by the way.

Charlie Brown's mission here is to stack the Irish Bishops Conference which he has done very well so far and is unlikely to be stopped doing further.
