Summary: Father Donnelly’s Position (Press, 14 May 1980)
In a letter published on 14 May 1980, a writer named John Brown expressed support for Father Felix Donnelly, who has come under censure by the Catholic Church in New Zealand. Brown praised Donnelly for his courage and wisdom, noting that he articulates views that resonate with many fellow priests, even if they do not voice them publicly. The letter suggests that Donnelly's experiences highlight a broader movement within the Church towards honesty and compassion, reflecting the sentiments of many priests in the field. Brown conveys a sense of hope that the Catholic hierarchy will be unable to suppress this new wave of openness among Catholics, which he believes is gaining momentum.
