  1. @MacDonnchadha but people leave for many reasons; some as protest, some to join another church, etc. We've had lots of varied feedback
  2. @MacDonnchadha you can find more information in our FAQ bit.ly/yjBEJn The goal was simply to show there was an option to leave
  3. @MacDonnchadha you should confirm with your local priest, but I understand it simply requires a profession of the faith in his presence
  4. @max_kelly Thank you!
  5. Paul from CMO is speaking on 2FM in a few moments. Listen live here 2fm.ie
  6. Here is the full text of the letter that was sent to the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts bit.ly/wVLh58 [PDF]
  7. @lostexpectation All sorts of people email us!
  8. The letter took a wee while to draw up, with the very welcome help of a canon lawyer, hence the lack of activity around here
  9. Morning! As you may have seen in the IT this morning, we've written to the Vatican seeking clarification on defection bit.ly/wC685H
  10. @philmackick hehe, I dunno but that was what they asked! I am merely a conduit for their very localised requests
  11. RTE "Would You Believe" are looking to speak to anyone in the Lucan area who has defected. Email: contact AT countmeout.ie
  12. The National Catholic Reporter want to speak to people who have defected. Drop us a DM or email contact at countmeout dot ie
  13. So 10.30 Midlands FM and tomorrow morning on Inishowen Radio, details to follow
  14. Apologies for anyone who had to sit through the Midlands "Family Fortunes" segment
  15. I was misinformed by my officials, who got the radio stations arseways - LMFM at 9.30 (so finished) and Midlands at 10.30
  16. And on LMFM around 10.30am http://www.lmfm.ie/
  17. @Berlinnaeus It depends on why the person wishes to leave the Church. For some recognition is important, as act of protest or other reasons
  18. @vaughanb @normanwyse majority would be areligious, but 4 some the canonical significance is important, or they wish to join another church
  19. @vaughanb @normanwyse Census is important - we talk about this on the site - but people want to defect for a wide variety of reasons
  20. Hello. We have an update today on the Church's continued refusal to accept defection requests. http://is.gd/ZGbZaS
