A Dublin journalist rang the office of the parish secretary of Donaghmede Parish secretary and she confirmed to them that Deacon Byrne was indeed living in a presbytery.
However, she was told not to give any details about Gorgeous to anyone and to refer such inquiries to the parish priest Father Gerard Corcoran.
So why is Gorgeous living in a presbytery? Every other seminarian I know who left the seminary went home to live in the family home until they could get a job and their own home.
Why this special treatment for Gorgeous?
Was this an arrangement made or sanctioned by Archbishop Martin?
FATHER CORCORAN
Or was it an arranged by Father Corcoran who is reportedly a long time friend of Gorgeous?
If so did Father Corcoran run it past Archbishop Martin?
And what did Diarmuid say?
Who is paying the bills for Gorgeous' presbytery - the people of Donaghmede or the people of Dublin?
Or has Gorgeous got a patron, clerical or otherwise?
Is Gorgeous' living arrangements part of a secret deal to ordain him when things quieten down?
Is this part of a bigger deal between Gorgeous and Diarmuid- and if so what are the rest of the conditions.
We were given the impression that Gorgeous has left the priesthood path and would find another profession.
This would have required Diarmuid Martin and Gorgeous to petition Rome asking for Gorgeous' to be launched from the order of deacon.
Instead, we find Gorgeous living in a parish property in September 2018.
If Gorgeous is left his private is his own business completely.
However, if the Church is still spending the people's donations on him there are serious questions to be asked and answered.
Maybe they can't just let Gorgeous go as he has the dirt on a lot of clergy and perhaps bishops?
If so, are we dealing with some form of payments and for what?
Very strange indeed.
I shall a very big church rat or two!
British priest, 72, put two policemen in hospital after violently lashing out when he was caught groping women on a train in Italy
By George Martin For Mailonline02:10, 19 Sep 2018
The 72-year-old priest had allegedly 'repeatedly touched' two women in Rome
He was sentenced to two years and eight months house arrest the same day
A court heard on Monday he had put two Italian police officers in hospital
Father Peter Slocombe, 72, put two Italian police officers in hospital
A 72-year-old Catholic priest put two Italian policemen in hospital after he was arrested for groping women on a train in Rome on Monday.
Father Peter Slocombe, from Gloucestershire, was convicted yesterday of groping women on a Rome underground train and lashing out at officers trying to arrest him.
As part of his closed-court sentence, Slocombe was placed under house arrest at a Vatican training college in Rome for two years and eight months.
He will also pay each of the officers €5,000.
Slocombe was said to have 'repeatedly touched' two women in their 40s on the train before running off.
After being reported to police by the women and chased by a group of officers, Slocombe then broke one officer's nose and gave both men cuts and bruises.
They called for back-up before bundling the British priest, who was not wearing his robes, into a squad car at Rome's main station.
A police spokesman said: 'This guy was crazy. He was punching and kicking out at the officers.
'He kept saying he was man of the cloth and was innocent but we have witnesses who say he was touching two women on the train and the victims identified him.'
Once ordained there is a canonical duty to house and meet the needs of the cleric - even if the cleric cannot minister in public.
ReplyDeleteIve never seen it happen before to a deacon.
Delete23:35, 'a canonical licence to sponge off the laity', in other words. 😆
DeleteAnd the stupid sheep allow this to happen. 😕
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🐑
Pat like you he is cleric. Michael is entitled to all that Canon Law affords to any cleric in relation to money and housing until he leaves. It does not indicate he is getting ordained. My guess is that the Archbishop is helping him back on his feet. Which is the right thing to do for a young man who gave many years of his young life to the diocese. I am a priest of Dublin diocese and I can cofirm Michael has left.
ReplyDeleteStop with all the conspiracy theory.
Leave him alone. God Bless.
Better on his feet than in his back :)
DeleteOr on all fours

If it’s true that he is living in a presbytery and in receipt of such unprecedented favours and special treatment, for a former seminarian then, yes, indeed, there is something very serious amiss.
ReplyDeleteGiven the scandal, chaos and confusion this man has already caused, for him to be cosseted like this would indicate that they are keeping him sweet because he has “dirt” on very big names (mitres).
Keep digging and get them all out. This is absolutely incredible. This man’s bluff needs to be called and let him name whomsoever he will - not matter how high up.
It’s time to clean house and drain the infested swamp that the Irish Church has become.
Yes, definitely, “Gorgeous” has notched a few mitred heads on his bedpost.
Really Pat?
ReplyDeleteAnother blog about this young chap? It is obnoxious obession at this point. He is an ordained deacon which means he in the clerical state. Go read a Canon Law book about that process if you want some answers.
There is a deep story here!
Delete'Curiouser and curiouser.'
ReplyDeleteBefore I was thrown out of Maynooth for being a right wing hard line conservative I would have known Michael Byrne and actually found him to be a really nice guy and got on very well with him.
ReplyDeleteHi Michael. You are not the nice guy you claim to be.

ReplyDeleteI never heard of a permanent deacon living in the presbytery. Maybe he is still transitional and will be ordained. That wouldn’t be unusual as even in first year Maynooth you have to spend the summer in a parish.
ReplyDeleteThe permanent deacon and his wife in Enniskillen are demanding one of the vacant apartments in the presbytery in 4 Darling Street.

ReplyDeleteMaybe he's still a deacon or maybe he's homeless.
ReplyDeleteHis famiky live in the same parish!
Delete08.40: Buckley, would you just mind your own business. You piece of scum. You should come out of your trailer trash existence. M. Byrne is doing fine trying to get his life back together. If kkindness is shown to him, what's your trouble with that? Irrespective of his past, surely the Christian instinct is to help him to follow some worthy cause. Perhaps he's trying but your harrassment is despicable. Think about his parents for a moment!!!!WHAT WOULD CHRIST EXPECT OF YOU.. .
Delete09:22, what would Christ expect of Pat (or of anyone else, for that matter)?
DeleteTo challenge evil? Corruption? Vice? Because in the Church, ALL of it is being carried out in HIS name, by his so-called representatives (including popes); and it is greviously lacerating his mystical body.

DeletePat this does need clarifying, is it part of the gay cabel operating in so many dioceses around ireland.
ReplyDeleteIf everyone is probably gay, including Tiny Tim, it is not a cabal, it is a monopoly.
DeleteThere is no such cabal.
DeleteOh! But there is.
DeleteA very widespread one involving seminarians, priests and bishops.
There are indeed questions that need to be answered about this sordid business. Why are the people of that parish paying for accommodation for this man? Given his track record in the seminary and his obvious unsuitability for ministry for moral reasons he should not live at the peoples expense.
ReplyDeleteFather Corcoran needs to fess up now and tell the truth, no more cover up please! Surveillance is indeed called for in this case and close observation.
This young man attracts gay clerics like flies around sh***! He has a number of protectors. It beggars belief that he occupies church property. Clearly he should be told to go immediately. These gays seem to think they can do what they like with impunity. If the parish priest allowed this off his own bat he needs to be removed. If DM ok'd it he needs to explain why. Transparency is called for. Enough lies and cover up.
ReplyDeleteDM is lying low citing health grounds.
Delete08.42: Pat, your tolerance as requested by Jesus is not evident towards M. Byrne or Archbishop D. Martin. Your voyeuristic obsession of them and others suggests a deep perversion of another kinky kind. I hope when you are disabled for whatever reason that you'll be surrounded by kindness.
DeleteI did not know that either Byrne or Martin were disabled people?
DeleteIs the disability physical, mental or ecclesiastical?
You are hounding this man who should be given time to think about and develop his future path in life. At the moment you treat hijm like a celebrity who should be watched at every turn. Think about him as a young gay man who faces all the prejudices of the Church and preyed on by people who use him as an example of wider problems. By the way, I am not Irish or a Roman Catholic. I find this blog important, exposing real problems. From what I have read, this Deacon is not a major problem and neither is his Archbishop. Regain your focus, Pat.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThere is a much bigger story.
08 43: Jesus, Mary and Joseph: Pat, would you stop hounding M. Byrne and The Archbishop. Your behaviour is disgusting. Stop being a nasty, spiteful, vindictive little gossip. Go and do something useful in the name of CHRIST. Really useful.
DeleteByrne was passed around certain priests like a yoyo. Certain resident preists and one former senior Dean in Maynooth have paid cash sums to Byrne. Byrne for years recived paid holidays for accompanying middle age to older men and prieats to European locations.
ReplyDeleteBishop Buckley two years ago Byrne attempted to randomly sell me Poppers. I was shocked at him and told him to F off. Pat I was terrified to report that specific incident to Seminary Council as Byrne controlled Hughie, Mullaney and the two Deans. NO one was powerful enough to stop Byrne and his illicit activities. Imagine Pat the first time ever someone offered Poppers was in Maynooth seminary.
ReplyDeleteHi Brendan/Stephen Alert
DeleteGorgeous is the tip of the abscess.
ReplyDeleteWhen it pops the pus will flow.
They need to contain him and keep Him sweet.
This will not work in the long term.
Would 'they' be desperate enough to have him 'bumped off'? (Or, at least, consider it?)
DeleteThere are enough criminal elements in Dublin alone who would prove willing...for the right price.
How low might 'they' sink?
I find it hard to believe there are replies to posts that had not yet been made visible.
ReplyDelete23:44 are you one of the sugar daddies?
ReplyDeleteMany another deacon who left was not treated with similar solicitude by his bishop. He went back to his family and/or he found a job to earn a living, so he could pay rent for his own place to live etc.
His bishop said “bye bye” (if he even did) and didn’t give two hoots or a second thought to his welfare, etc. Who do you think you’re kidding, Fr at 23:44?
This man’s dismissal from the clerical state should have been expedited. He should have been dismissed from orders by now and the fact that he isn’t, that DM is affording him very special treatment, sets off red flashing alarms!
This boyo Byrne has “the dirt” and someone needs to force his hand no matter what the consequences. The swamp needs draining and every loathsome creature in it exposed and sent packing - including the mitred ones.
DM’s dilly dallying over MJ Byrne is astonishing. It does not bode well. It certainly indicates a “hold” over a man like Martin, who doesn’t usually suffer fools gladly.
Nevertheless, vice, scandal, corruption of high ecclesiastical office bearers and blackmail by what are essentially “clerical” rent boys, will be far more devastating in the long term, than any explosion and immediate fallout, caused by refusal to keep Byrne “sweet” and the continued pandering to - and pampering of - a man who shouldn’t have made it past the initial psychological assessment.
Dublin diocese urgently needs to send this man packing no matter what the fall out. DM looked miserable and preoccupied during the Pope’s visit. Something is very seriously amiss. I’m not surprised he is citing “health issues”.
I say again DRAIN THE SWAMP! The Truth shall set you free, Diarmuid.
Even if the truth is revolting....

Byrne “a nice guy”? He is a smarmy, beguiling and dangerous chancer. A charming liar. He mesmerises certain types of cleric who are then under his spell. Is DM also held in thrall? There is not merely a whiff of scandal attached to Mr Byrne, there is a stench. “Poppers” you know? This man needs to be cut adrift by Dublin. Let him make good his threats and let whoever fall who will! This is a disgusting spectacle and it has already gone on too long. What’s so precious about this man that he needs “coddling” like this? What is the answer? Are certain highly placed individuals in Dublin and probably elsewhere compromised with and by him? Has he had sexual relations with prelates? And is he leaning in them? That’s the crux of the matter and it beggars belief that this is ongoing. Mr Byrne needs to return to civilian life and get a job like every one else, to earn his way in the world. If he goes to the media with his stories so be it. This abscess definitely needs lancing.

ReplyDelete+Pat sorry to go off on one here but I’d like to let you know that for all those who want their church records rectified or deleted they are entitled to have this done under the European GDPR. How does this sit with Canon Law? Sorry it doesn’t even consider caca law. It’s European Law and National Law.
ReplyDeletedocuments cannot be said to have significant historical value if the data subject wants them rectified or deleted. The rights of the individual comes before the church’s excuse for retaining or not deleting files.
Michael played his own small but significant part in prompting the necessary crisis in the priesthood. To his credit he was upfront about his sexuality, as denial regarding sex and sexuality is at the heart of the crisis, which the Church is still trying not to face. There is no going back for the Church, though some desperately try to hang onto that false model. Would Michael want to transform himself into the typical closeted cleric even if he had the choice? It would be good if with mature discernment in a few years he could talk publically about his experiences: that would be his true ministry. I wish him well on his journey.
ReplyDeleteWell spoken.
DeleteMichael's sexual orientation is not and never has been the issue.
If he were a private citizen with 10,000 adult sexual conquests it would be nobody's business except the 10 001 of them.
The issues are:
Hyprocisy.
Finances.
Sexual harassment and bullying.
A highly destructive international gay cabal undermining church and priesthood.
The abuse of authority.
Crime.
The cover up of crime.
Why in the name of the risen Lord did Michael Collins sign off on Byrne as fit for Orders. Michael Collins during Byrne's first year reported to his Archbishop and seminary Council he was unsuitable for continued formation. The question which needs immediate clarification is who decided these claims were incorrect and why was Michael Byrne allowed to continue in formation. Michael Collins is a complete coward and idiot for not standing up to Byrne and his supporters. Typical Mick the lick.

'It's codology asking men to be a priest and to be celibate' - Fr Brian D'Arcy
ReplyDelete"I think it's an utter wrong theology of sexuality for a start. It's also a wrong insight into the psychology of development.
"Living as I do, in a community of men, I honestly know that it has taken very hard work and labour to remain normal and be a celibate."

DeleteI thought Byrne had joined the Guards?!
ReplyDeleteThat would give a whole new meaning to being a bent gard.
DeleteYeah, like Sean Jones was a Ryan Air flight attendant.
DeleteMichael said in 2013:
ReplyDelete“I don’t take anything for granted. I don’t say I’m definitely going to be ordained in a couple of years. But it’s wonderful, waking up every day as a part of the community. It sets a real sense of where God is in your life.”
Celibacy is often cited as a major deterrent to becoming a priest but he says he doesn’t worry about that.
“I worry more about being perfect because we are all called to be perfect and that’s all I try to do.”
So 1) he was aware ordination was not definite, for whatever reason only he knew; 2) did not commit to saying he would stay celibate.
Perfect at what exactly?
His theology is very deep here. Jesus did not ask us to be celibate he asked us to be perfect like our heavenly father is perfect.
DeleteDo not underestimate the theology he is applying to his life here.
I have just noticed that a Greek Orthodox Church has opened near me. I felt quite drawn to it until I noticed that their scandals are worse than ours. A 91 year old bishop was caught on film frolicking with a nubile young woman and a lot of their priests are gay and sexually active. Perhaps I have just expected far too much from the clergy!!
ReplyDeletePat are you saying that Byrne is a kept man?
ReplyDeleteIs this Pp his beau.
Father Peter Slocombe was convicted in a closed court of sexual violence and injuring a public official.
ReplyDeleteHe attacked the woman, 40, on Sunday and injured the officers as they tried to arrest him, Italian police say.
Slocombe, 73 and of Gloucestershire, denied the charges but was found guilty and sentenced on Tuesday.
At the hearing he was told he would be detained under house arrest at the Pontifical Beda College in Rome for two years and eight months.
He must also pay the officers, who needed hospital treatment for their injuries, 5,000 euros each.
Clifton Diocese, which covers his parish, said it believed Slocombe was on holiday at the time of the attack and expects an internal investigation to take place.
Slocombe was ordained in Rome and graduated from Beda College in 1978.
He has been parish priest at Saint Nicholas' Church in Winchcombe for more than 10 years, and parish priest for St Joseph's in Tewkesbury since 2013.
He is also chaplain to the University of Gloucester.
He had prob taken a couple of poppers.

DeleteSurlis is a good normal priest. Why in the name of God and basic human intelligence did the Hierarchy select Michael Collins, known back in his seminary days as Mick the Lick. Michael is a very troubled man and has a well known history of jumping into bed with married women. I'm told by priests in Clare the man is a loose canonn.
ReplyDeletePat have you ever attempted to make contact with Stephen Wilson.
ReplyDeleteBishop Buckley there is three active predator seminarians in Theology. Two from a northern diocese and one is from Kerry. These seminarians are the cause and source for so much pain and abuse. A junior seminarian was abused on two separate incidents. First incident was getting this young man drunk and then an advancement proceeded. Second most serious incidnet occurred when a seminarian from a northern dioceses went into his room and had sex with him. The scary bit was this predator went cold turkey when his boyfriend seminarian disappeared for a full week. wink wink. Mullaney had to intervene and contacted this seminarian's parents to bring him back to seminary.
ReplyDeleteAn Example of Mullaney's special kitten seminarians. Marshall, Wilson and Moriarty.
ReplyDeletePat i have checked with my seminary contacts in Europe and America and they are amazed at the level of abuse in Maynooth . They are shocked with the broken wrist sexual incident. All seminaries have their problems but the Maynooth broken wrist story is just brutal. The level of physical force required Mark to have multiple surgeries in a private hospital in Dublin. Pain infliction must be a turn on for Moriarty.
ReplyDeleteA Commission of inquiry needs to investigate the deph of the allegations of sexual abuse and collusion among current and former staff Priests in Maynooth. Also a redress scheme for survivors at the hands of Drury, Connolly, Mullaney, Prior and Collins.
ReplyDeleteB. Marshall and Stephanie Wilson spotted walking around the graph. They look worried.
ReplyDeleteBishop Buckley on one occasion Hugh Connolly publicly humiliated me in Pugin Hall. Hugh everything you did and said to us in seminary has been recorded and documented. Stay in Paris you Coward.
ReplyDeleteBishop Buckley a threat was made in a public environment to the seminary community two years ago in St Mary's Oratory. Hughie threatned all seminarians to keep their mouths shut. It was just before evening prayer when the threat was announced. Hughie thank God failed in his efforts to cover up the gay subculture and sexual abuse.
ReplyDeleteHughie Connolly saying Mass on a bin. Pat which is worse in your opinion Hughie on a beach saying Mass on a Bin or his role in the Maynooth sexual abuse cover up.
ReplyDeletePat, Hugh Connolly has his special kitten seminarian. This kitten seminarian knew Connolly pre seminary. Connolly had him groomed before entrance into Maynooth. The question which is puzzling is how did Stephen Wilson know Paul Prior and Hughie Connolly on a personal level before seminary.
ReplyDeleteTHE CAMPAIGN TO FREE FATHER PETER SLOCOMBE
ReplyDeleteBY CHRISTMAS GAINS MOMENTUM
Evidence is emerging that Cotswold Parish priest of 40 years Father Peter Slocombe has been the victim of a scam on the Metro in Rome. Viviana Golisano has falsely accused him of molestation on a crowded train in the morning rush hour on Monday 17 September 2018. After being forcibly arrested and thrown into notorious Rebibbia prison (a cell without a toilet) – a summary trial took place the next day condemning Father Peter to imprisonment for over 2 years.
Italian criminal defence lawyer Avv Lina Cerideo was replaced on 21 September 2018 by Avv. Nicola Caricaterra who has successfully secured Father Peter’s release to a religious house in Rome but he is not yet permitted to come home to the Cotswolds as investigations continue.
The Roman Catholic Clifton Diocese has fully supported Father Peter. Vicar General, Reverend Monsignor Canon Liam Slattery has personally spearheaded the campaign to establish Father Peter’s innocence and return to the Cotswolds.
