[Martyn Turner’s cartoon in yesterday’s Irish Times]

“I know that many priests and people feel hurt by a cartoon in yesterday’s Irish Times. I am a strong believer in freedom of speech and of the vital role of satire in social criticism, but I object to anything that would unjustly tarnish all good priests with the unpardonable actions of some.”

Archbishop Diarmuid Martin
