"BISHOP SPOKE OF BEAUTY OF MALE PENIS"



AN IRISH EX SEMINARIAN HAS SPOKEN OF HAVING A MEAL AND DRINKS WITH AN IRISH BISHOP DURING WHICH THE BISHOP SPOKE GLOWINGLY OF THE BEAUTY OF THE MALE PENIS,

The ex seminarian claims he was asked to help sort files in the bishop's house and was invited to dine alone with the bishop.

The meal was taken with a more than adequate amount of alcohol and it was late in the meal when the alleged monologue occurred.

The ex seminarian says that he was flabbergasted by the monologue and simply listened without speaking.

He also says that at no point during the meal did anyone do more than discuss this topic.

However he thinks that it was a very surreal event in his life and it only happened on one occasion.


PAT ASKED THE BISHOP ABOUT THE ALLEGED EVENT:

After the seminarian told me this story I wrote to the bishop and recounted to him the story I had been told.

The bishop replied to my letter and insisted:

1. That the event never happened.

2. That the dinner had never taken place.

3. That he had no memory of the name of the ex seminarian who was making the claim.


And for now we must leave it at that. It is the case of one man's word against another man's word. 

There is no corroborating evidence either way. 


COULD SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BETWEEN AN BISHOP AND A PRIEST / SEMINARIAN?

Well we know that not only could such a thing happen. We know it has happened - and in more than in one place.

CARDINAL KEITH O'BRIEN of Scotland had to resign because he was proven to have seduced seminarians and young priests - even using the Confessional to do so!

And while he had to stay away from a papal conclave he is still a cardinal and still being financially supported by the Archdiocese of Edinburgh who maintain him in a nice home on Northumbria in England.


CARDINAL GROER OF AUSTRIA:

Can we say that Irish bishops are different from the bishops in the rest of the world and do not carry on with men, women, seminarians, priests etc?

I hardly think we can claim that.

What we can say is that TO DATE no proof of these matters have emerged except in a few rare cases.

I do expect that situation to change in the not too distant future!

  4. Pat, in relation to the Diarmuid Martin and Michael Byrne affair, AB Martin's stated intentions, words and past and intended future actions are in direct contradiction:

    1. He withdrew his seminarians from Maynooth last year due to a "growing poisonous atmosphere" and sent them to Rome;

    2. One of the main causes of this "poisonous atmosphere", Deacon Michael Byrne, was sent to Rome (why - in order, maybe to poison the atmosphere there?);

    3. Diarmiud Martin spoke about anonymous letters swirling around Maynooth, in which Byrne was mentioned as one of the ringleaders of the bullying clique;

    4. DM is in possession of some very damning pictorial evidence also seen by the Irish Independent, whose Legal Department gave the go-ahead to print the story in January about Byrne based on the above;

    5. DM has seen all the photographical evidence published here which left little to the imagination about Byrne's "extra-curricular" activities;

    6. DM is hell-bent on ordaining Byrne to the priesthood this year;

    7. Is there any sign yet of DM getting to work on his new priestly formation programme for the Dublin diocese? If there is, I have not heard about it;

    8. DM has been very quiet regarding the recent overhaul of Maynooth - strange considering that he was the most vociferous bishop last August when the whole scandal hit the Media.

    All the above just does not fit when analysed.

    What is DM up to?

  6. Some priests do have a strange sense of humor to say the least. I remember conversations which could be lightly described as mild boys secondary school humour with sexual innuendo. Certainly out of place for grown adults. I also remember a chap giving in Rome giving a retreat and glorified the joys of having a decent poo. Needless to say most of the lads dismissed this chap and some did not attend talks. I suppose what I am saying is that priestly training as it was/is can lead to unhealthy expectations and lifestyles to be lead by some. It seems we see more of what Jung would call the shadow than we do of healthy personality in some priests. Sad when the fantasy of some becomes the damage to another person

    1. Why in the name of God would a priest giving a retreat to seminarians talk about poo during one of those talks?

      Sounds to me like that priest was giving his fetish away?

      Having said that Sean Brady will be talking a load of poo in Raphoe this week from today until Thursday :-)

      Delete
    2. Yes Pat and Sean----Freud would say that those immature priests had bits of their psyche still "arrested developmentally" in the infantile stage. (There is a toddler potty training stage when the young child becomes aware of and fascinated by how his body works and its "output". In his mind he associates a successful use of the potty with lavish praise from his mother or other significant person!! Most of us grow out of it.)

      Delete
    3. The developmental psychology reference is correct. An even earlier phase is the "oral phase" when the young baby experiences and learns the properties of things through the mouth, first of all by feeding either naturally or through the bottle and then by testing things through tasting, sucking, biting and so on. Some people retain parts of this stage too and though it is normal that we enjoy and relish our food, we ideally should make our way through these early oral stages to successful adult development. Of course some people don't.... need I say more?

  8. This blog aims for change in the church. We need to see further development on how sex n priesthood integrate. Sex is part of the human build. Priests are human. If these stories are true about Byrne, then Byrne is bringing priesthood and da Catholic Church into the new age by challenging the institution via the living out of his unique human story. No harm done. The sad part is that his progressive Church have abandoned him, but this happens to all good prophets. Byrne is couragousely doing more for progress than many, whether you agree or not is opinion and should also be respected. Being bullied for wanting progress is neandrhralian. Whether this boyo enters or leaves priesthood should be under guidance of the Lord in the Holy Spirit - which works the same in Byrne just as it works in me or you. Namaste brothers and sisters. And one thing I do know, byrne will succeed. We need to support Byrne here because he is challenging the hierarchy. We need to dialogue with change not burn it at the stake. Respect x

    1. I must say that I had never thought of MB as a prophet.

      But I am quite open to discussing that.

      It does raise a number of questions:

      1. Is there such a thing as sexual morality / immorality?

      2. Should sex be excluded from the morality discussion?

      3. Are all sexual acts ammoral - even rape?

      Delete
    2. Rape is always immoral as it's about using power and control and sometimes violence to damage and force another person to do something against her/his will.

  9. I remain convinced that Roman Catholic priesthood is a vehicle for grave evil in the Church, in particular, its episcopacy.

    The number 666, from the Book of Revelation, has long been associated with Satan in the popular mind. Biblically, however, it was an allusion to the Roman emperor, Diocletian, with the number representing total moral imperfection. But if one wants to indulge the popular fantasy of its being a reference to Satanic forces, it should actually be understood, first, as the clergy count in the Church at any one time. It is through the clergy that such malevolent powers gain principal entry to the Church, wreak havoc, sow confusion, and create enmity and dissatisfaction.

    1. I'm afraid you are talking through your hat, Paul, if that's your name.

      Biblical studies is not your forte. Even a rudimentary knowledge of the discipline would tell you that Diocletian is late 3rd Century to early 4th. The Book of Revelation is dated to around two hundred years before then, so there is no possibility that its author was alluding to someone two hundred years into the future.

      Delete
    2. I, of course, meant Domitian, who ruled from A.D. 81-96 and who exiled the compiler of Revelation (probably not its author) to the Rocky island of Patmos. My apoplogy for the error.

      Incidentally, the number 666 does refers not just to Domitian, but to Roman emperors in general (including Diocletian). It was a coded (or allusory) way to address imperial misrule, since direct reference to it was a capital offence and would inevitably have led to further persecution of Christians.

      As for biblical studies, it very much is my forte; don't let a 'typo' mislead you.

      By the way, my name isn't Paul.

  10. One of the features of the contemporary Catholic Church in Ireland is the presence of the New Movements- comprising of educated and committed Catholics who are genuinely trying to live Christian lives daily. Other groups such as the SVP and even the Legion are full of perhaps older men and women who are also saying their prayers and are engaged in apostolates. So the question arises,- where is their response to this toxic proposal -if it is true, that seminarians who were advertising on gay websites for sexual partners ca in good conscience be proposed for Ordination? I have seen good men sent away as " unsuitable" for much much less. I have seen candidates given a hard time for the way they moved around the Sanctuary and the Altar!!! It is just beyond comprehension. Stop it now !

    1. Agreed. Brendan Leahy of Limerick is big into FOCOLARE. Where is the prophetic voice coming out of the South West? What are we hearing from the Catholic Youth Groups who are now promoting the next WYD? What are we hearing from all the people so energised by the 8th Issue? Why the silence? Is a Gay tail wagging the dog? Are they so PC that thaye are afraid to stand up and be counted? It is very simple, if you want to go forward for Ordination, you have to accept celibacy. Otherwise get out. If you are a formator and you know your candidate is sexually active then you have the duty to send him away, for everyone's good including his and that of the Church. This is basic, fundamental, foundational, absolutely beyond question or doubt. And they know it. So, get on with it.

  26. Byrne, by no stretch of the imagination, can be termed a "prophet". If anything, he is an anti-prophet. - the very antithesis of every purpose for which God calls and sends His prophets.

    He is a promiscuous and lustful man and he will rue the day he treated what is most sacred in such a sacrilegious fashion.

    Furthermore, I believe Diarmuid Martin is compromised with Byrne. His hellbent determination on the ordination of this man beggars otherwise belief.

    The statement DM made "I was only ever in a room with him once", is an astonishing statement for a bishop to make concerning one of his students.

    What bishop should feel the need to distance himself from a student in this way? It should be a normal thing, for a normal bishop to be in a room as often as necessary, with a normal seminarian.

    No this statement smacks of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. I fear Dermot is lying through his teeth.

    They are well able to lie these bishops,
    archbishops, priests, prelates and cardinals - to save their own hides. Or may DM was using mental reservation!

    No, I think he is lying and he is compromised.
    Byrne has him by the short and curlies. I think Byrne has a lot of priests and prelates similarly caught by their goolies.

    I would say he has been free with his favours and there has been no shortage of "daddies" who enjoyed them.

    I'd say he has been the recipient of many gifts and monies, for services rendered, to sad old clerics and definitely some bishops. He has them all over a barrel and if they move against him he will out all of them - including DM.

    This will all of course end in bitter wailing and weeping. The faithful Catholics of Ireland will be further scandalised and traumatised by further revelations in the not too distant future. Decent priests, as usual, will suffer much.

They don't seem to give a hang. I'm not going to say much about Bishop Boyce but if he spent more time with his people than time spent on the golf course would be better.

  29. He was always a bit out of touch but asking the wounded healer to conduct this retreat shows a cold indifference to the suffering of scores of his parishioners and their families. Did none of his advisors caution against this charade?
    Will the first task of the new bishop be an apology for this colossal stupidity?

  30. Every time I see Diarmuid on tv or in the papers or hear him on radio, two pictures come to mind - a massive great big QUESTION MARK ??? ? - and an image of Michael Jack "not all good looking guys get married some of them become priests" Byrne (ha!)

    O Archbishop Diarmuid Question Mark, did you or did you not????

    Did you succumb to Deacon Byrne's "charms"????

    Does he have you by the goolies????

    Questions and questions.

    Diarmuid, if you did, you better resign.

    If you persist in ordaining "Gorgeous" because you are compromised, do you honestly think that he will stop at ordination?

    MJB will want to be an auxiliary bishop within five years at least. And that's just for starters.

    O Archbishop Diarmuid Question Mark, if you been a bad boy, you gotta go. Develop a very bad case of the colly wobbles and retire asap. You've only a few years left anyhow.

    It's all going to catch up with you in any case, if you been misbehaving with Micky Jack. It's all gonna come out - you know that don't ya?????

    1. (Sadie on the sofa) Tescos haven't a bad wee selection if you get in early. I would go for that lemony one - nice with a mug of strong tea.
