A NETWORK of Catholic priests not afraid to challenge Vatican edicts will hold their national convention in Warrnambool in July.
More than 160 members of the National Council of Priests of Australia will come from across the country for a week of brainstorming and socialising in the heartland of Irish Catholic heritage.
Discussion topics are likely to include marriage, abuse scandals and a controversial new liturgy being introduced through parishes.
The membership includes prominent Melbourne media identity Fr Bob Maguire and a former Anglican who is now a married Catholic priest.
