PARTY IN CHATEAU NOEL :-)
Noel and Ciaran doing the Boogie Woogie :-) |
YESTERDAY, AFTER THE SCHISM MASS IN ST PETER'S THERE WAS A PARTY IN THE NEWLY RENOVATED "CHATEAU NOEL" TO CELEBRATE THE ABOLITION OF CELIBACY IN THE DIOCESE OF DOWN AND CONNOR :-)
THE PARTY WAS HOSTED BY HIS LORDSHIP DR NOEL TREANOR.
THE GUEST OF HONOUR WAS FATHER CIARAN DALLAT.
THE AFTER DINNER SPEECH WAS GIVEN BY FATHER GORDON MC KINSTRY FROM RANDALSTOWN.
Is it true that Father Emeritus James Donaghy was given a six hour release by the governor of Maghaberry to attend the party?
ReplyDeleteI refer to my message yesterday, that D&C clergy can now act with impunity with regard to sexual affairs. Relationships of a sexual nature between priests & women(or men) will be no barrier to future ministry.
ReplyDeleteWhy did Fr Gordon McKinstry resign from active ministry, one could well ask given recent developments ?

Buckley! How do you know all this info? Did you also attend the hoolie?
ReplyDeleteNot a chance! I would have been as welcome there as a the pope would be in a Free P service :-)
DeleteBut I do have inside info :-)
You mean a mole in Lisbreen?
DeleteNo comment.
DeleteThere are a number of Clergy in D&C who are bringing the Priesthood into disrepute, and the refusal of Bishop Treanor to address this matter is storing up a 'timebomb' .
ReplyDeleteThe 'clock is ticking' !
LUX.
You are right Lux. This problem will not go away.
DeleteThis has to be a joke, right?! ��
ReplyDeleteA joke ? Bishop Treanor does not seem to require celibacy of his priests in D&C :-)
DeleteSomething tells me 2015, is going to be a very challenging year for Bishop Noel Treanor. He can only postpone difficult decisions for so long, and his recent attempt to save errant clerics at any price, ( Kennedy,Dallat & others) is going to be something that comes back to haunt him. More scandal is on the way, not least because Bishop Treanor has given the "green light" for Clergy to disregard the rule of Celibacy. What do you is going to happen, when moral leadership at the highest level is seriously wanting ?

Disaster and chaos.
DeleteDid not Liberation Theology in South America sack celibacy years ago? Wonder if the Mrs & I could return to Elphin? Doubt I'd want to though
DeleteYou would not want to work for Doran - he says being gay is like being Downs Syndrome !!!!
DeleteSo he did-silly person!!!!!
DeleteEaster greetings to one and all. All i know is that Poo can be made into manure and manure helps flowers to grow. I know you have a keen wit Pat but is D & C (not g n t) unofficially sacking celibacy?)
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that under the current D&C regime a priest can be sexually active with men or women, inpregnate women etc and still continue in ministry - even if ýou have multiple sex partners and even if your philandering becomes public!!!!!!
DeleteWhats your view on fornication Pat? You see, you seem to be doing your darnest to get RC priests to fight for an end to celibacy. But you and many others seem to be fogetting the sin of fornicating (reading between the lines of course). Or are loose morals indicative of your secular church? Just wondering ........
DeleteThankfully, at least, our dear Dean is safely back in his Cathedral Church, snug in the arms of his beloved mistress, Lady Nigella von Klimptentocken. And all is well in our little world....
ReplyDeleteHey pat what's the latest on this
ReplyDeleteStory?! You have gone quiet for a change, it must be a closed chapter!
Maybe linda and Dallat are away on a retreat together!
Do you have a Facebook account I can't find a priest who will help me out with some questions. I'm not sure if you still are a priest, but that doesn't matter I'm just looking an answer to some questions that are personal to , sinead
