IRISH COLLEGE: CRITICISM LEVELLED at the Irish College in Rome by a Vatican report does not reflect the experience of some former seminarians.
Among these is Fr Brendan Cooney who said the report, as detailed in The Irish Times, made for “painful” reading.
He found it “almost laughable” that the staff could be accused of not being devoted to Rome.
Fr Cooney, of the Kiltegan Fathers, had “very happy” years at the college as a student in the 1960s. More recently he had a “close relationship” with and “great admiration” for the college.
