The Church of Ireland’s Dean of Waterford has announced she will be stepping down in the coming months, vowing to be an “enormous thorn” in the side of the country’s religious leadership in her retirement.
Rev Maria Jansson said “screaming fundamentalists” have taken over parishes in the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Church but they will “invariably fail” as followers will inevitably leave.
Bigotry, homophobia and “supremacism” must be “called out and named and challenged”, Rev Janssen said.
“All of that is dysfunctional,” she told Deise Today on WLR, but “every empire falls, every dictator dies.”
