Timothy speaking in Dublin were faintly echoed a few months later, when — ten years ago last week, at which point I was involved with Catholic Voices and writing for Aleteia — an email was circulated among Catholics active on British social media, complaining about the Dominican’s planned involvement at a youth conference in London. That prompted me to write the following, initially in response to an email from a friend, who shared my thoughts on his blog; I posted them on my own blog shortly afterwards, and think it’s worth sharing them here as they appear as relevant now as they were then.
