MAYNOOTH - THE MONEY

One of the Blog's most active comment makers sent in the following comment yesterday:

"PAT, FOLLOW THE MONEY IF YOU WANT TO NAIL THEM. AL CAPONE DID NOT GO DOWN FOR KILLING ANYONE/ HE GOT JAILED FOR FIDDLING HIS ACCOUNTS" (RASPUTIN)




It was an interesting comment because I heard recently that the TRUTH TELLER Monsignor Hugh Connolly is heading to the USA next month to collect funds for Maynooth and is expected to come home with £100,000 +++ from the US based FRIENDS OF MAYNOOTH.

DISGRACED MICHAEL LEDWITH


According to some sources the brother of the disgraced Maynooth president - Monsignor Michael Ledwith is involved in the fundraising - a DR THOMAS LEDWITH.

  8. Holy Shit!
    Just watched the strictly youtube upload. I am now a firm advocate of eugenics to halt this mess. On a positive note Darwinian rules apply so few of the 'Priesty Boys' will propagate their species....

  15. A letter-writer to the IT, on Aug 12th, muses, in response to Colm Fitzpatrick (Aug 10th): "all Catholics are called to be chaste”. By whom? I am not aware that Jesus made any such requirement of his followers".

    Declan Kelly from Dingle, who wrote the letter, obviously has not read the New Testament.

    Maybe he is a close friend of King Puck for all we know? He obviously adheres to the King Puck School of Theology that holds sway in Maynooth.

    Our Lord Jesus Christ clearly identified sexual immorality, of every kind, both heterosexual and homosexual, as EVIL, in Matthew 15:17-19.

    Fornication, lasciviousness and promiscuity are condemned, repeatedly, in the New Testament.

    At the core of this crisis is the perception that some Gaynooth seminarians have the morals of farmyard cats!

    Central, also, to this scandal, is that these "cats" are very comfortably curled up in the laps of certain enabling and abetting members of staff and irish bishops.!!!!


    Don't blame Pat Buckley for this scandal!

    Every baptised Catholic is called to chastity. Seminarians, in particular, must be beyond reproach.

    Any seminarian, who has been repeatedly breaking the 6th Commandment, will never be a holy and faithful priest of the Church.

    For any bishop to ordain such a man would be the gravest dereliction of duty and shockingly irresponsible.

    1. You'd be surprised, then, by what children in our Catholic schools are nowadays taught about "responsible relationships" and "safe sex".

      Listening very carefully to Diarmuid Martin it was clear only that he is against excessive promiscuity.

    2. The "farmyard cats" are purring their way to ordination whilst genuine vocations are expelled! Crazy but true!

  16. Bishop Pat, You are doing the church a great service by unearthing the filthy underlay. We all know prophets are hated and reviled.The clerical mindset is still strong in the church and averse to accountability. perceiving themselves as part of a caste above and beyond mere mortals, they hate to be criticised from below. This was never Christ's intention. Clericalism is pharisaism. You are the only priest with the courage to tell it as it is. You are not financially dependent on the system. This gives you a great independence. Would you ever consider using your sociological and journalistic skills to do an all ireland audit on the state of the church here and publish your findings? The maynooth saga is only the tip of the iceberg. We all know that celibacy is not being lived by a sizeable percentage of clergy. This scandal needs to be brought into the light. And the codependent behavior of parishioners and organisations like the ACP must also be challenged. Turning a blind eye can only lead to further problems down the line. Bishops are addicted to the status quo, especially when it comes to celibacy. Like addicts they refuse to listen. Maybe we need someone like you to initiate an intervention. maybe you should write a book and without naming names give an account of the church as it is today especially on the matter of celibacy and the abuse of vulnerable adults. Your knowledge of the underbelly is extensive and should be published. Although this blog is read by thousands, I imagine many are clergy themselves and people who can healthily criticise the church. You need to get the message to a wider audience especially those faithful catholics who either are unaware of what's going on or who are so pathologically loyal that they refuse to acknowledge any misbehaviour in their clergy. Even when they do, they don't hold them to account but rally around them like mother hens. They deserve better and must stop this codependent behaviour which amouts to condoning immoral behaviour. I think writing a book might reach much more people and might be another small step in renewing the church. Refusing to acknowledge the truth will only entrench and empower the dysfunction and dishonesty that is already rampant. The father knows best pathology must be laid to rest once and for all. Most clerics are just average people like the rest of us and when given a sense that they are special and untouchable they will be strongly tempted to abuse that privilege if there are not checks and balances in place.

    Dear Anon @01:42 you and I clearly differ in our perspective on that perfectly normal animal function and appetite otherwise referred to as sex! Opinions on the matter are largely formed by familial upbringing, social customs and "teachings" derived from prescriptive directions, many of the latter being based in a myriad of religious beliefs which are widely divergent worldwide and throughout history.
    At this point in history, many people in Western society are 'locked into' a quasi puritanical belief system concerning sex where it has an almost central relevance and focus as something bordering on an unhealthy but regrettably necessary function which must be kept restrained except in certain well defined and prescribed circumstances. Within the Christian traditions the necessary 'permissions' are as prescribed by the bible and subsequently interpreted by the clergy. The Irish RC church adherents in particular have traditionally fallen into that spectrum of almost rigid conformity to this narrow puritanical outlook on sexual matters.
    So as a humanist, in relation to sexual matters, I have to say I'm bemused by those who believe in and follow the highly selective prescriptions of a collection of ancient writings the origins and relevance of which many historians, biblical scholars et alia continue to disagree about.
    As for those who quote selected biblical passages, [eg. your Matthew 15. 17-19] to support a viewpoint, claiming that the Bible is the central 'rulebook' for behaviour, they conveniently ignore so much of the hogwash elsewhere in the Bible! Just sticking with your own selected Bible chapter, ie Matthew 15, how do you 'explain Matt. 15.4-7 " Children who curse their parents must be killed"?
    So I find cherry picking bible justifications and pirouettes of religious moralists ridiculous, and certainly not a reliable guide for living responsibly and considerately.
    But having been brought up within the narrow confines of traditional RC orthodoxy concerning sex, I can understand how and why so many still retain limited traditional beliefs. Clinging to the apparant probity of handed down beliefs is a balm for many, just as long as their 'human failings' can be erased by relieving trips to the confessional!
    MMM
