This afternoon I am going to Dublin to attend the launch of Donal Dorr’s book, The Francis Agenda. I understand the book is published by Veritas.
That brings back to me memories of my own book of a few years ago, A Question of Conscience, which Veritas refused to stock in any of their shops. Of course they were fully entitled to do so; the shops belong to them, and they can sell, or refuse to sell, whatever they like.
I am returning to the United States in November. I have been invited to two events.
The first one is a speaking engagement in Pittsburg to an association consisting of priests, former priests and their families and friends. That should be really interesting.
After than I am going to Washington where I will conduct a weekend for LGBT Catholics, families, pastoral ministers and allies, organized by New Ways Ministry.
(Kristina Keneally is an Australian politician and catholic. I met her at a conference in Philadelphia a couple of years ago, and was very impressed by her. This is a really interesting talk)
