From the Irish Catholic Newspaper it reads;
Prominent Dublin priest Fr Kevin Doran has dramatically resigned from the Mater Hospital after the Catholic-run institution agreed to comply with the Government’s controversial abortion law.
Fr Doran told The Irish Catholic that he could not in conscience remain either a member of the Mater Hospital Board of Directors or Board of Governors as a result of the move.
“I can confirm that I have resigned because I can’t reconcile my own conscience personally with the statement, largely because I feel a Catholic hospital has to bear witness.
It’s about bearing witness to Gospel values alongside providing excellent care,” Fr Doran told The Irish Catholic.
The Catholic hospital announced last week in a brief statement that it “will comply with the law as provided for in the Act,” however, the hospital authorities have refused to give further clarity on the issue or how the issue affects the Catholic ethos of the hospital. A spokesperson told The Irish Catholic there will be “no elaboration on the statement”.
Fr Doran’s resignation is set to send shockwaves throughout board members who have remained tight-lipped about the controversial decision to comply with the abortion law.
