Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh Eamon Martin described the Government's stance on First Holy Communions and confirmations as a "complete reversal" of an earlier decision made on the issue.
Mr Martin also criticised the way that the communication of this new position was handled by the Government and said that it was "very disrespectful how this was done".
