OUTSPOKEN Fr Brian D’Arcy has spoken of his “disappointment” after being censured by the Vatican for more than a year.
It has emerged that the popular newspaper columnist has been disciplined by Catholic bosses over the contents of a number of his articles.
The high-profile priest has admitted that he has been living with the censure for 14 months — meaning all his articles must be submitted to the Vatican for approval.
Fr D’Arcy, who has previously revealed that he was abused by a priest, has been vocal in his criticism of the Catholic Church and its handling of the child sex-abuse scandal.
