The Association of Catholic Priests has written to the country’s bishops asking them to engage in a conversation about the Church’s treatment of gay Catholics. The ACP, which represents more than 1,000 Irish clergy, has asked why the church is 'so cold and uncaring' towards gay Catholics. Andrea chats to Fr Tim Hazelwood, from the Association of Catholic Priests and hears from listeners.
