Removed ribbons to be reinstated after outcry (photos)
Fr Kevin Conroy, the Marist Fathers parish priest at St Mary of the Angels in Wellington, caused outrage this morning when he cut off ribbons left on the church gates by survivors of clerical sexual abuse. Dr Murray Heasley, a spokesman for the Network of Survivors in Faith-based Institutions and their Supporters, said he was "astonished and dismayed'' by Fr Conroy's actions.
