Catholic churches should follow the Church of England to keep their doors open outside of services, the bishop of Portsmouth has said.
Philip Egan complained that on a recent visit outside his diocese he had been unable to visit any churches because they had all been shut.
In a Tweet posted on Sunday he said: “Why oh why?! Just spent a few days outside the Diocese but every Catholic church I tried to visit was locked.
“One even had the utter hypocrisy to display a poster ‘From Maintenance to Mission’! Why is this, when every Anglican Church is welcomely open?”
