Fr. Sean Sheehy doubled down on controversial remarks he made in relation to same sex-couples, abortion and transgenderism.
"Arrogant" and "Scary" is how a midlands priest characterises the comments made by retired priest Seán Sheehy.
Abbeyleix Parish Priest Father Paddy Byrne believes that culture should inform a person's faith and the thoughts expressed by the Kerry Priest were from a repressive era in Ireland.
His remarks, made during a homily in Listowell, disparaged homosexuality and abortion.
Father Paddy says the content of what was said was damaging for the Church:
Ireland's first openly gay mayor has condemned comments made by a Priest in Kerry.
Fr. Sean Sheehy doubled down on controversial remarks he made in relation to same sex-couples, abortion and transgenderism.
But former Mullingar Mayor Ruth Illingworth believes he's an unpleasant man, who doesn't speak for his church.
She says the Priest's comments are reminiscent of decades-old discussions:
