“I am not in favour of general absolution in general," the bishop said…

“If there ever was an occasion that was it,” he said. “It was scary.”

After giving a brief introduction about what he was doing, he said the words of absolution over the group.

“Some people were visibly upset,” Fr Gantley said. “I remember one woman crying.”

Deacon Coughlin said the absolution was followed by a feeling of peace.

“It was incredibly calming for everyone,” he said.
