Hibernians Welcome Garvaghy Road Decision
The Ancient Order of Hibernians National President Seán Pender has welcomed the decision by the British Secretary of State for the North of Ireland, Chris Bryant, to prohibit the proposed Orange Order march along the Garvaghy Road.
Speaking from the Garvaghy Road, where he met with the Garvaghy Road Residents Group, Mr. Pender said: “This week I have been in Ireland (see report on Page 4) meeting with Executive ministers, business leaders and community groups speaking about the Good Friday Agreement and progress in a New Ireland, however all of those events and conversations were framed by the context of the proposed march at Drumcree in County Armagh and the experience of the community living on the Garvaghy Road.
Hibernians Condemn Trump 's Attack on Pope Leo
The Ancient Order of Hibernians has rushed to the defense of Pope Leo.
The Hibernians, on Monday, issued a statement in response to President Trump's "public attack on His Holiness Pope Leo XIV and the posting of an AI-generated image depicting the President in the likeness of Christ."
That image, posted on Truth Social, has raised hackles across the Christian aisle.
The AOH statement said: "People of good faith may disagree on matters of public policy. No Catholic should be asked to accept language that treats the Holy Father as though he were a partisan figure whose duty is to please the political expediency of the moment, or defer to a secular ruler.
