Quote:Diocese apologises over priest’s sermon claiming autism is caused by ‘evil demons
The Diocese of Kerry has apologised after a visiting missionary priest told people attending a mission Mass in one of its parishes in Co Cork that autism was caused by “evil demons”.
The comment was made by a member of the Franciscans Friars of the Renewal from Limerick when celebrating a vigil Mass at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Kiskeam in northwest Cork.
One mass-goer told The Irish Times that people in the congregation on February 28th were taken aback when the priest said “autism is caused by evil demons”.
“It was the Vigil Mass on the Saturday night and the first day of the seven-day mission by the Franciscan Friars of Renewal – people were just shocked that he would say such a thing.”
The following day, another member of the order apologised for the comments while saying Mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Boherbue, the same parish as Kiskeam.
“The remark, which referenced autism, was intended as an illustrative example but was poorly expressed and inappropriate. It was acknowledged that the comment was not appropriate, and a sincere apology was offered at the time for any hurt or offence caused.”

Oh gee, I wonder what the remark should have illustrated if it was expressed properly. How do you properly tie mental disorder with demon?
