Dermot Farrell assures change will follow consultation with priests and parishioners

has given Catholics “a great lead” on homosexuality, said Archbishop-elect Farrell, adding that the church’s description of it as a “strong tendency ordered toward an intrinsic moral evil” is language disliked by the pope.

On schools, he said “that if a politician comes up to me and says they’d like to divest that school, well then I’d put it to the people”. In the meantime, Catholic schools respect children of all faiths and “are not proselytising”. The church already has “great diversity”, he argued: “It embraces everyone from the person who might go only once or twice in a lifetime to people who go three times a day to pray and it is able to hold all of those people together.”, Archbishop-elect Farrell believes that synodality – where the views of everyone in the church are heard, not just bishops and clergy – is “far more important”.

Archbishop-elect Farrell said he first became aware of the allegations in “May 2002, when trying to assemble what the facts were” following media queries. An inquiry under SC, Denis McCullough was then held, which reported in June 2005. “I think I was the one who asked for an inquiry,” he said.
