And I say this not because I'm a Catholic, or indeed a 'believer', just that I hate the rampant hypocrisy.<br />So let me put the predicament as if it were applicable to myself. (And draw from my memory of 'my predicament' in 1968 when I left the seminary before sub-diaconate).<br /> "What on earth am I going to do? I'm 50/60. I've no qualifications, skills or experience in any 'ordinary job'. I've very little/or no savings and no home to go to. What will the family think? From what the RC church has done in the past, it will simply cut me off and I've no pension to fall back on........etc, etc.<br />And that background is a harsh reality without even thinking of the other selfish considerations stemming from thoughts of, "However will I cope giving up this cucooned priveleged life of esteem and deference?"<br />I reckon that therein lies a major factor in many of the ills besetting the RC church at present: a rump of men ill suited to ministery and failing to abide by the demands they originally 'signed up to' without fully realising the implications and demands, but are now trapped and with nowhere to go, find solace in secretive behaviours inimical to their perceived role<br />MMMMourneManMichaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-62044197708680091562016-08-19T08:41:25.516+01:002016-08-19T08:41:25.516+01:00In the company where I work there are rules, laws ...In the company where I work there are rules, laws and regulations that I and my colleagues must abide by in order to keep our jobs. There are certain breaches of same which incur immediate expulsion. I knew all these rules within the first week of employment, and was informed of the consequences should they be transgressed.<br /><br />I don't have much time for self-pitying clerics (such as the ACP and many in Maynooth), seminarians that constantly whinge and whine about celibacy and certain Church teaching. They knew the rules of the game before entering the Seminary. Nobody forced them to enter with a machine-gun.<br /><br />I am also a married man, and took my vows to my wife deadly seriously. When I said "till death do us part" and that I would remain faithful to her all my life - I unequivocally meant it.<br /><br />Please, all you priests and seminarians who can't live up to what you willfully signed up to, leave now.

Dunne: Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York from 1939 through 1967, was known to his priests as "Franny Spellbound", on account of his reaction to handsome young men. <br /><br />He had a particular thing for Broadway chorus boys and, needless to say, a particular appreciation for good-looking young seminarians and priests.<br /><br />The "Franny Spellbound" type of effect is often seen in older clergy who, as Alison Moyet sings, "go weak in the presence of beauty".<br /><br />It's embarrassing and cringe-inducing to see these older men so obviously infatuated with some young hunk, lavishing attention and expensive gifts on them, making complete gobshites of themselves and oblivious of the ridiculous spectacle they present to others.<br /><br />The priesthood sadly is full of "Franny Spellbound" types and the farce in the Pro-Cathedral, described by a parishioner, is but another example of it.

The Canon regularly praised him and asked blessings for him and asked us to pray for him regularly. It seemed a bit over-the-top. Michael Byrne was regularly mentioned in the newsletter. Then one sunday evening a few months ago the Mass was to celebrate his deaconate. I asked one of the staff does that happen for all deacons and he said No, only for "special friends" of the canon. Then they all went in for a dinner. We weren't invited. I was at Mass there on Monday and the Canon was encouraging us to give money for the Lourdes pilgrimage. After reading this blog I dont feel good at giving money there. Maybe I could ask for a holiday for my children or a car or some fancy clothes. or maybe I could ask if my sister could stay over there like Mr Byrne because she cant find a flat in dublin. <br /><br />P.

You speak for a lot of people. <br /><br />It seems to me that the Church has become riddled, from the top down, with promiscuous homosexuals.<br /><br />I am not anti-homosexual. A chaste and celibate homosexual man can be a very good and holy priest.<br /><br />What I am disturbed and sickened by, however, are those who have pious faces in public - along with rigid views they impose on others - but who, behind the scenes, are having a right laugh and indulging themselves without scruple.<br /><br />It is absolutely disgraceful. They are making a mockery of the priesthood and the Church. They are dragging the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ through the mud.<br /><br />Enough is enough. <br /><br />EXPEL those seminarians who are unable to be chaste, who are on Grindr, who are frequenting haunts of vice and dens of iniquity, in Ireland or abroad. <br /><br />SACK those men, in seminary formation, who clearly lack the competence, wisdom and discernment necessary for such an important ministry in the Church - and who may very well be, themselves, a big part of the problem. <br /><br />DISMISS from the clerical state those priests and deacons who are acting out sexually with men and/or women. They should never have been ordained.<br /><br />EXPEL! SACK! DISMISS!<br /><br />Even if celibacy were abolished tomorrow, these men would still be unfit for the priesthood and seminary life. As has been said before, they have the morals of barnyard tomcats.<br /><br />The big fear, of course, is that some bishops themselves are compromised and thus are unable to act against these men who are causing havoc, in Maynooth and in every diocese in Ireland.<br /><br />If that worst case scenario is true then, indeed, we face an appalling vista.<br /><br />Parish Priest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-11481839591422729482016-08-18T17:13:05.600+01:002016-08-18T17:13:05.600+01:00At least with non priests DM should press the PAUS...At least with non priests DM should press the PAUSE BUTTON!Thinking Catholicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589713565062075036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-39772726211768530422016-08-18T17:12:09.177+01:002016-08-18T17:12:09.177+01:00Is he putting his nose to the Grind?Is he putting his nose to the Grind?Thinking Catholicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589713565062075036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-7109054302866053962016-08-18T17:11:12.742+01:002016-08-18T17:11:12.742+01:00This Blog will FINISH the laundering job it starte...This Blog will FINISH the laundering job it started!Thinking Catholicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589713565062075036noreply@blogger.com
