Bishop of Cork & Ross Dr John Buckley has said comments made by a priest at a funeral mass in the city were “offensive” and “entirely inappropriate”.
Bishop Buckley was responding to complaints about a priest who asked mourners to pray that former Lord Mayor of Cork, John Murray would not be found guilty of sex assault charges.
In a statement, Bishop Buckley said the Diocese was unaware that these comments were going to be made, does not stand over them and sincerely regrets the obvious hurt they have caused.
