The Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) is a voluntary association of Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland. The association was established in September 2010 with the objective of having "a forum, and a voice to reflect, discuss and comment on issues affecting the Irish Church and society today".〔(Association of Catholic Priests website )〕 One of its founders was Fr Tony Flannery who, in April 2012, was silenced by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith for questioning whether Jesus Christ had instituted the priesthood. However he continues to write for the ''Irish Times''.〔(Tony Flannery ), "Vatican's demand for silence is too high a price", ''Irish Times'' 21 January 2013〕 His brother Frank Flannery is a former General Secretary of the Fine Gael party. ==Theology== It is the stated position of the ACP that it accepts the Creed and that it does not seek to overturn the defined teaching of the Catholic Church. The Leadership Team has defended itself against accusations by critics of the association. According to Fr Brendan Hoban, such critics have confused what the teaching of the Church is and what those critics present as the teaching of the Church.〔("Some points of clarification regarding the ACP", ACP website )〕 Similarly, such critics have confused the teaching of the Church with Church governance, which, in the opinion of the Leadership Team, has resulted in some people suggesting that the ACP does not accept fundamental Church teaching. It is the stated position of the ACP that it supports the Pastoral teaching of the Second Vatican Council. Members of the Association claim that Catholic magisterium has failed to maintain the spirit of Vatican II – that spirit of hope and confidence and equal dignity in the church. Seán Ó Connaill has written that there has been "a betrayal by the magisterium of not just the spirit but the letter of Lumen gentium".〔() Seán Ó Connaill, "Magisterium's clock is stuck in 1965", ACP website, retrieved 8 June 2012.〕 In support of this claim, ''Lumen gentium'', 4(37) is cited in relation to the laity who are: "empowered to manifest their opinion on those things which pertain to the good of the Church .... through the institutions established by the Church for that purpose".〔(DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH, LUMEN GENTIUM, SOLEMNLY PROMULGATED BY HIS HOLINESS POPE PAUL VI ON NOVEMBER 21, 1964 ) Retrieved 8 June 2012.〕
