Good Friday walk with cross in Phoenix Park, Dublin today. Bishop Martin then went into a John Paul II Catholic apology diastribe.
That's no insignificant small-town nor auxiliary "Bishop" of whom you wrote; alas, he's formally
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of
Dublin[†]. Not to be confused with the
other living Abp. Martin in Ireland, whose see is at
Armagh (i.e., the island's original see, dating back to St. Patrick, but now in the U.K. as "Northern Ireland"[‡]).
Among those he [i.e., Martin] said were victims of a 'too judgemental' Catholic Church were .... ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs.
Even D Martin's
"ordination" to priesthood, dated "25
May 1969"[†], must be assumed to have been
Novus Ordo, having been bestowed after the mandatory date (6 April 1969) of Pope Paul VI's
New Ordinal (unless it was delayed by some
indult related to 1 that delayed some aspects of the
Novus Ordo, reportedly obtained by an influential cardinal-archbishop somewhere in the British Isles no more than a few years shortly after Vatican II). Were seminaries in the Republic of Ireland already sources of
scandal, whether for modernism or
sodomy back then, e.g.: 1965--1969?
He received
all of his promotions, including his current post, during the papacy of
John Paul II.

Note ‡: Armagh is approx. 1/2 way between Lough Neagh and the border with the Republic of Ireland. In the U.S.A., we might say Armagh is situated in "south-central Northern Ireland". The atlas I have within arm's reach doesn't provide enough detail to identify the county it's in. If I should believe a Wikipedia article officially marked "article needs additional citations for verification": <
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Armagh>, the city is in County Armagh, in the traditional/historical province Ulster.
