Bishop says North afflicted by political ‘sclerosis’
New Catholic Bishop of Derry says ‘much work’ remains to be done
Dr Donal McKeown, the new Bishop of Derry: ‘as Christians of various traditions, we have an opportunity and a duty to be sources of hope, especially when political sclerosis seems to have afflicted out body politic’
The failure of the Northern Ireland Assembly “to focus on delivering the reforms that people need” was addressed this afternoon by the newly installed Catholic Bishop of Derry Dónal McKeown.
In a homily at the installation ceremony in Derry’s St Eugene’s Cathedral he said that “as Christians of various traditions, we have an opportunity and a duty to be sources of hope, especially when political sclerosis seems to have afflicted out body politic”.
