A Catholic priest is calling the censure of Father Brian D’Arcy by the Vatican “completely unacceptable”.

Father D’Arcy is well known for expressing views contrary to the Church’s teachings and is a regular contributor to TV and radio programmes.

In a statement yesterday, Father D’Arcy confirmed that his writings on morality have been screened for over a year now by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which oversees Catholic Church doctrine.
