The Meath priest said his reason for speaking up about his experience is to encourage people to be kind. “I got the odd Christmas card from people wishing me well but there was one card that came anonymously, not signed, to remind me of what happened to John the Baptist, when a woman danced for him.” “As a priest for 31 years, I’ve never really experienced that level of criticism. I’ve always worked hard in the parish and been there for my parishioners no matter what parish I’ve been in,” Kelly said adding that he’s had a few other negative comments here and there.

Typical Catholic always attempting the pull out method!

Heard some of the crackpots yesterday. There are some sick people in this country. Best to ignore them. Father Ray well able for them. Lovely man who can't dance. We need fun. Well done fr. Ray

He cant dance but of course its not really about the dancing is it but there are no excuses for threats none whatsoever

Will someone please think of the children.

Should he stick to his day job of shaking down the emotionally debilitated for cash?

Old news. Priests have always been going on about pulling out.
