Qld: Priest says his story offers hope
A sacked Catholic priest in Brisbane says he's now free to speak about the unjust ways
of the church .. and offer hope to others who've also been treated unfairly.
Father PETER KENNEDY has celebrated his last mass at St Mary's Church in South Brisbane
today .. with more than one thousand parishioners packing the church.
Father KENNEDY says most will follow him .. 200 metres down the road to a building
where his new congregation .. St Mary's in Exile .. will be based.
He says the newly appointed St Mary's administrator .. Father KEN HOWELL .. will have
to rent a crowd.
Father KENNEDY was sacked for unorthodox practices such as allowing women and gay couples
to take part in liturgies when traditionally it is performed by a priest.
