Former Irish president so ashamed of the Church she’s considered leaving

Former Irish President Mary McAleese revealed she has contemplated leaving the Catholic Church because of their opposition to gay rights and the ordination of female priests.

Speaking to The Irish Catholic newspaper, McAleese, whose son Justin is gay, said she was “ashamed” of the Church’s attitude toward gay rights and women’s right, attitudes she feels are still championed by the current Pope Francis.
