Bishop Davies heartened by priests’ synod letter

[_Abyssinia]

In March 500 priests in Britain signed a letter urging those attending this year’s family synod to issue a ‘firm proclamation’ upholding Church teaching

The Bishop of Shrewsbury has welcomed a letter signed by hundreds of Catholic clergy earlier this year, which called on the family synod to remain faithful to the Church’s traditional teaching on marriage.

During his homily at the annual general meeting of the Catholic Women’s League in Chester on Saturday, Bishop Mark Davies said there had been a “great renewal” of witnessing to the Truth in the Church. He said: “The Bishops of England and Wales have offered their own ‘credo,’ a profession of faith in Christian marriage in a leaflet now distributed in all our parishes.”
