A Catholic diocese has defended its decision to allow a doctor to address a First Communion preparation Mass on her anti-abortion views. Elizabeth, a mother of one of the children present, told RTÉ’s Liveline that she walked out of the Mass. “I felt at a First Communion preparation Mass that this was inappropriate. He was attending his mother-in-law’s anniversary mass at the cathedral with his wife and 10-year-old son. We said we will stand up and go outside when the doctor makes her speech,” he told Liveline.
