Bishop: No reason to oppose Lisbon
Posted on 16. Sep, 2009 by Maynooth Town Portal in Lisbon Treaty
Bishop Noel Treanor told an Oireachtas Committee today that he can unequivocally state that a Catholic can vote Yes in good conscience. Bishop Treanor is the Vice President of the Commission of the Bishops’ Conferences of the European Community. Bishop Treanor also said that the Lisbon Treaty does not alter the legal position of abortion in Ireland. He said there are some organisations that are giving out misleading and inaccurate information on the treaty. He said none of them speak on behalf of the Catholic Church.
