Bishop Philip Egan of Portsmouth has said there is a “growing problem” in the Church and called for prayer. After a meeting with his diocesan council of priests, Bishop Egan tweeted that the question had arisen of whether to obey one’s bishop or the Pope. He replied: “I’d say Both!” However, the bishop added: “But there's a growing problem: let's pray for the Church.”
