Vatican doctrinal chief: 'everything possible' done in conflict with Irish dissident priest (CNA)

Cardinal Luis Ladaria, the prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), has told reporters that the Vatican has “done everything possible to dialogue” with Father Tony Flannery, an Irish priest who has been suspended from ministry. The CDF told Father Flannery that he could return to ministry if he affirmed Church teaching on sexuality and women’s ordination; he refused to do so.
