DEDHAM —
A controversial, reformist Austrian priest will speak in Dedham as planned July 17. But it won’t be at a Roman Catholic church.
The Rev. Helmut Schuller was originally scheduled to be at 7 p.m. that day at St. Susannah Parish, but Cardinal Sean O’Malley has banned him from speaking on church property, because the Rev. Schuller supports married priests and the ordination of women.
Cardinal O’Malley said Boston Archdiocese property can’t be used for a talk that’s contrary to Vatican doctrine.
That action prompted a swift invitation from the Unitarian Universalist First Church in Dedham, a four-minute drive from St. Susannah.
The lay Catholic group Voice Of The Faithful said Wednesday the Rev. Schuller will speak there as the same time and day, July 17 at 7 p.m.
