Permission refused for Archbishop Romero Mass
Patsy McGarry, Religious Affairs Correspondent
For the first time in 27 years permission was refused for a Dublin Mass at the weekend in memory of the late Archbishop Oscar Romero, murdered in San Salvador on March 24th, 1980, by security forces because of his outspokenness on behalf of the poor in El Salvador.
For the past 20 years anniversary Masses for the archbishop have taken place at Adam and Eve's Franciscan Church on the city's Merchant's Quay. Prior to that they took place at the Jesuits' St Francis Xavier Church in Gardiner Street.
Brendan Butler, chairman of the El Salvador Support Committee, told The Irish Times last night that their request to hold the Mass at Adam and Eve's, as customary, was refused as a new superior at the church had decided Archbishop Romero's anniversary "was a private devotion and as such no public Masses will be allowed" to honour him.
Mr Butler said he was "totally disgusted with this decision."
Since January last year the Merchant's Quay parish has been run by the Augustinians at nearby Meath Street, but when contacted last night they were unaware of the refusal to permit the Mass this year.
There was no response from the Franciscan's at Adam and Eve's last night.
A spokesman for Archbishop of Dublin Dr Diarmuid Martin, who is in Rome for ceremonies commemorating the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, was also unaware of and puzzled by the decision to withdraw permission for the Mass.
In 2005, at the end of the Mass in the Merchant's Quay church on April 1st that year held to mark the 25th anniversary of the murder, Dr Martin, the Mass celebrant received news of the death of Pope John Paul.
He immediately told the congregation, which included members of the El Salvador Support Committee and people from Catholic relief agency Trócaire.
An Irish Times a few months ago revealed that the present papal nuncio to Ireland is Salvadoran, was aligned to the junta and continues to be critical of Bishop Romero. Not sur eif this plays a role?

http://www.catholiccommunications.ie/nuncio/index.html
a commentator suggested the present papal nuncio in ireland had emanated
from El Salvador- now unless the official site of the nuncio is sorely mistaken-
1. they do not emanate.
2.they have diplomatic careers (imagine that!)
3.the present P.N came from Iraq via Jordan.
There is so much to learn
for example- Oscar Romero (RIP) was a last minute choice to be archbishop and was
doing a tremendous job, when he was murdered in the cathedral.
There is still no given reason as to why the Adam and Eve's mass
was cancelled for the first time in twenty years in Dublin.
Tge present papal nuncio presented his credentials to Mary Mac Aleese
in 2001 at the Aras.

Actually there is no 'subject', the Last Pope John Paul II,( soon to be canonised)
put the issue of women priests 'beyond the pale', it was and is not a discussion
or negotiation topic and infallibility has been applied to the whole issue on the
basis of:-
1.Evolution.
2. The twelve were male.
Interestingly, John Paul the second tried ;but failed to put the issue of contraception
onto the infallibility doctrine but was prevented by the then Cardinal Ratzinger.
However, latest news from the Vatican states that the celibacy rule and the
marriage issue are copperfastened and also beyond discussion. So at
least people know what is going on.
There have been many women who have risked a lot because they truly
believe that they have a call to vocation within the Catholic church, a question
around the issue would be- if they experience a call to God, as a man does,
then who is to judge the veracity of the claim?
[This is in response to the above comment.]
The source for the late Pope's Statement is from a book called :-
"The Pope in Winter" (John Cornwell- Vatican writer, though Hans Kung has
written somewhat on the Issue of 'Women In Christianity" also.
Cardina Ratzinger- now Pope Benedict the XVI was very involved with the
Latin American Church for some considerable period, as he issued the
directive to silence Leonard Boff.
