Brought up in a staunchly Catholic family on Merseyslde, Arnold McMahon made up his mind to become a priest by the time he was 11. He was ordained and became a teacher at the seminary of his Order - the Society of the Divine Word - in Worcestershire in 1964. But when, a year later, he became the first priest to advocate publicly the right to use all forms of birth control, the reaction was swift.
He was summoned to Rome and kept incommunicado for six months before being sent to Ghana. When, in 1967, he decided to marry, the reaction was again quick. He was excommunicated. Today, Arnold McMahon is married and has two children and lives in America. He is still denied the sacraments of his church but, as he explains in conversation with Jock Gallagher, his faith is as strong as ever.
