The Dublin archbishop’s decision came as the Maynooth seminary continues to be the focus of complaints about homosexual activities.
Speaking about a recently ordained priest, Archbishop Eamon Martin of Armagh said that “we are extremely grateful to Saint Patrick’s College, Maynooth, for the spiritual, human, pastoral and academic formation that he received there.”
