Sexual activities is not the only occurence among many gay men in the seminary community but you have the communal of priests practising at the alter daily around the country that engage in sexual activities with other men. Many priests that I know of have formed discreet relationships with other men. I myself am currently in a relationship down the coutry with a priest for the past 23 years. Grindr has specifically being the target of this innocuous scandal. There are may priests on other sites to whom I have met of gaydar, caffmos, reacon, gaymaturedating, gaire etc. There are far more than what is initally thought of. I have also engaged of meeting practicing priests in the George who have commented that they are a man of the cloth to whom I have encounter wonderful sexual experience. What do you expect of these trainee / practice priests. They are of the nature of human being like everyone else. They have sexual needs. If the boundary restricts them to marriage, well then you can't have your loaf and eat it to expect that these priest cannot release their sexual desire when needed.Anonymushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13764853361732148495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-46043935411549000712016-07-26T20:35:23.847+01:002016-07-26T20:35:23.847+01:00Confused and immature formation staff in Maynooth?...Confused and immature formation staff in Maynooth?? Immature still at 40, 50, 60?? I have a question - Are the formation team/s subject to any external assessment or oversight themselves? Probably not, but they SHOULD be. They are so involved in the seminarians' end of year assessments - reports, and yet I'll bet no one assesses their own ability, discernment, or indeed integrity to assess!! And judging by some of the seminarians, deacons, priests, ... who are now under scrutiny [ people whom the formation team/s and the relevant bishops deemed suitable for the Deaconite and for Priesthood, ... in recent years ] the judgement of the formation team/s and the Bishops does need to be seriously or even ROBUSTLY questioned, and investigated. ROBUSTLY seems to be a favourite word of church authorities. I recall that when responding to questions about the allegations, [May 2016 ] Maynooth College President Msgr Hugh Connolly is reported to have '...insisted that robust procedures for addressing such claims are in place.' Maybe they are in place, but one would have to ask IF they were actually followed. Maybe the procedures weren't THAT robust after all. I'd be very, very doubtful that they were followed robustly! <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-53779167237339827552016-07-26T12:57:31.442+01:002016-07-26T12:57:31.442+01:00Don't worry Pat.

If these allegations are true, then these men are dangerous and must be removed. Have the Irish Bishops learned anything from the recent scandals. All the staff in maynooth need to be removed and good and holy men need to be placed there. The Irish laity have had enough and we do not want priests who place themselves on grinder any where near us or our children. Something has to be done about this priest and Deacon. They make me sick.

He will be doing exactly what his cowardly predecessors did with the likes of Fr Brendan Smyth and all the other perverts. Fr Derwin tried to befriend underage men on Grindr - DOES DIARMUID MARTIN NOT UNDERSTAND THE RAMIFICATIONS OF KEEPING THIS MAN IN THE PRIESTHOOD? This Fr Derwin should never have been ordained in the first place. <br /><br />I am shell-shocked that Diarmuid Martin is acting in such a sclerotic and hesitant manner concerning Fr Derwin and the Dublin seminarians in Maynooth. And as you have already reported Pat, the Archbishop has also been told by a former Dublin seminarian that there are serious issues with some members of the seminary formation staff. These allegations have been corroborated by Maynooth's recent graduates such as Fr Derwin and the soon to be ordained Deacon Sean Jones.<br /><br />Gradually removing his seminarians from Maynooth is not decisive action from Archbishop Martin based on all the above. Leaving this Fr Derwin in situ is also gross negligence and cowardice on Martin's behalf. Failing to do anything based on information he received 7 years ago makes DM no different from his brothers in the Episcopacy.<br /><br />Maynooth has to be shut down Pat. The Seminary Council and a large part of the seminarian body need to be removed. The Bishops are like rabbits caught in the headlights. The Guards must conduct an investigation as soon as possible.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-64972126119204407292016-07-26T01:39:08.949+01:002016-07-26T01:39:08.949+01:00Almighty God wants His people to have shepherds af...Almighty God wants His people to have shepherds after His own Heart - not these abominations - who are worse than the hirelings the Lord Jesus warned us about in the Gospel of St John.

I am aghast - words fail me.<br /><br />Do we want these "Grindr" men anywhere, next or near, our teenage boys and young men (those few that still participate in our parishes and come to Mass)?<br /><br />I would question the validity of the ordination of the man recently exposed in our Dublin diocese. <br /><br />The Archbishop should fast-track his dismissal from the clerical state, asap. <br /><br />It is extremely doubtful this individual, given his chosen lifestyle. was in a fit and worthy state to receive the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Surely his priestly ordination is null and void.<br /><br />If Bishop Ray Brown proceeds with the priestly ordination of "King Puck" then there are grounds to believe Ray is mentally ill and unfit to oversee the diocese of Kerry. <br /><br />Again, this individual needs dismissal from the clerical state and pronto!<br /><br />That the formation team in Maynooth College are overseeing these individuals - in their progress towards ordination - and their being inflicted upon the People of God - is a MONSTROUS SCANDAL!!! <br /><br />This vile evil of corruption has to be arrested and expunged. The Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith need to be made fully aware, of the gathering storm, of further devastating scandal, soon to be unleashed on Irish Catholics!<br /><br />Archbishop Brown, this under YOUR WATCH AS NUNCIO!!! What are you doing??<br /><br />If these corrupted and corrupting men are being "protected", or are the "proteges" of some "high personage(s), in the Irish Church, that cancerous tumour also has to be EXCISED!!! And SOON!<br /><br />No disciple of Jesus Christ - never mind a Catholic priest - should be within a thousand miles of a vile meat market like "Grindr". <br /><br />Expose all of them and get them out of our Church and Christ's priesthood. Even if the number of priests in Ireland was halved or quartered, we would be better placed to serve God's Church, with men uninvolved in this morass of Evil.<br /><br />And Pat, you please be careful too and protect yourself. I hope you have good support. These individuals are evil and they have no consciences. They are wicked men who have hijacked the Church for their own diabolical purposes.<br /><br />Dublin priest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-77062222043851542322016-07-25T23:44:49.965+01:002016-07-25T23:44:49.965+01:00One beetle recognises the other...One beetle recognises the other...Molly Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157605908448993029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-67646133563642282812016-07-25T23:30:55.044+01:002016-07-25T23:30:55.044+01:00I am not facilitating titalation.
