What´s the plot?
Set in Ireland and inspired by true events, Conspiracy of Silence tells the story of a young trainee priest torn between the love for his girlfriend and his vocation to the Catholic priesthood.
The film highlights the Catholic Church’s controversial doctrine on celibacy. With a superb ensemble cast, this provocative and timely drama exposes the human impact of breaking the vow of celibacy – an issue the Catholic Church remains reluctant to address.
On the eve of the Pope's visit, this beautifully acted and directed film speaks loud and clear. The cast includes Academy Award winner Brenda Fricker, Hugh Bonneville, John Lynch and Sean McGinley.
Conspiracy of Silence will be followed by a debate entitled: "Celibacy should no longer be a compulsory requirement for the Roman Catholic Priesthood"
Join us for a rare opportunity to hear leading Catholic voices discuss the most important issue facing the Catholic Church today – celibacy.
Chaired by Ernie Rae, broadcaster and presenter of BBC Radio 4’s Beyond Belief. Speakers: Professor Tina Beattie, Roman Catholic theologian, broadcaster and writer, Roehampton University; Helena Kennedy QC, leading human rights lawyer; Fr. John McGowan, Order of Carmelite Discalced (OCD), Roman Catholic priest; Bishop Malcolm McMahon, Roman Catholic Bishop of Nottingham; Frank Skinner, stand-up comedian and broadcaster; Jack Valero, Communications Director Opus Dei UK & Coordinator Catholic Voices; Fr. Stephen Wang, Dean of Studies, Allen Hall Seminary. The film’s writer/director, John Deery, will also be in attendance plus special guests.
