FATHER Brian D’Arcy is prepared to quit the Church if he is censured by the Congregation of the Faith over his new book.

In his new book, Brian D’Arcy’s Food for the Soul the cleric reveals that he almost walked away in the past – only for his mind to be changed by thousands of letters he received pleading with him not to give up the priesthood.

However, he has warned that if the Vatican attempts to censor his latest writings: “That would be it.”

He explained: “The fact is there is nothing in it that Pope Francis hasn’t said.

“I don’t believe there would be any grounds for censoring me again or any attempt to shut me up.
