The time for another reformation is long overdue

Chris Fitzpatrick, a former Master at the Coombe writes in 'The Irish Times'.

The page-article is a forthright account of why the consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist lost his faith in Catholicism.

The piece is on page six in the 'Weekend Review'.

A quote from the article: Male hegemony is not some God-given right; I have never seen it written on any tablets of stone.

The title of the piece is: 'The priest who shattered my faith'.

Obligatory reading in every seminary and studentate. But guess what, it will not get a mention. Indeed recommended reading for every priest in the country.

Had a similar experience to his Domo but probably not as drastic.
