Bishops rarely interest me beyond a sigh at their latest snipe at women or #LGBT. Or even worse, their grudging small concessions.
But #PaulColton was different. As #ChurchOfIreland Bishop of #Cork, Cloyne & Ross, Paul was an unequivocal supporter of gay rights. In 2003, he called for the church to ask for forgiveness of #gay people: https://www.churchofireland.org/news/1099/gay-debate-churchs-bluff-is
In the 2010s, he supported marriage equality.
Paul was the last #CoI bishop to have served in the 20th century. https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2026/0418/1568964-bishop-colton-retirement/
