Pat of course is not responsible for the shame rhe Church brought on itself but if you look back at some of his contributions, you cannot but suspect and conclude that he has a huge anti Catholic agenda. Do you aporove of Pat printing innuendo about certain induviduals without any suggestion of wrongdoing on their part? Do you aporove of Pat traipsing through the country photographing priests's homes and inferring all kinds of sinister, unproven and baseless accusations about them? Pat is right sometimes but all too frequently he loses the run of himself. He is not all discerning about bloggers, allowing many of them to unfairly and unjustly incite hatred against priests. Pat had and has a very fractured relationship with the Catholic Church, most of them "Pat-made". He is not a victim. His life is not so pure. I speak my mind against all wrong and abuse, whoever the person is, but I would not paint all clergy with same brush. I agree, those who commit heinous acts should face full justice from the proper courts and not through the tabloud, guttery, nasty, self righteous bloggers here. Pat is capable of much goid - but he is weighed down with a baggage from the past that prevents him to see the goodness in other clerics and Bishops. Surely you must agree that the obsessive nature of his "concerns" suggests a pathological un-wellness!! Ask Pat - who among the clergy and Bishops he once knew - and who were very kind to him -does he like?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-39156593370357705882017-08-14T16:04:44.958+01:002017-08-14T16:04:44.958+01:00My brain is not in "the gutter" and I do...My brain is not in "the gutter" and I do not tar all priests with the same brush. I am fully aware of all the good done by most priests. <br /><br />If you, however, are blaming Pat Buckley's blog for the scandalous antics that are the cause of shame to all Catholics, then you are truly in deep denial. Pat Buckley did not cause these scandals. <br /><br />These priests with their sinful behaviour are exposing our Faith to ridicule and bringing our beloved Church into disrepute. <br /><br />Do you have any children or grandchildren anon at 14:39? Have you ever had to try explain these disgusting antics to your family whom you are trying to keep in the Faith and practicing it? <br /><br />Save your opprobrium for the priests and religious who are truly in the gutter and who are bringing the worst type of ridicule on the Church and our Faith!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-63853345638779218232017-08-14T14:39:40.178+01:002017-08-14T14:39:40.178+01:00Anon 23.57: my brain is far from where you imagine...Anon 23.57: my brain is far from where you imagine it to be, but yours is somewhere in the gutter. Of course I abhor abuse of any kind but when encouraged by people like you and Pat, cohorts come out from everywhere to throw rocks at all clerics and at the Church. Yes, I know the damage caused by the failures of the Church and its personnel, but DO NOT TAR all with the same brush. There is a tone of absolute bitchiness about your words. Keep them in your gutter and - perhaps if you opened your eyes a little more beyond your tiny mind, you'll witness immeasurably good work being done by many, many PRIESTS....I see it and I thank God for the witness given by many priests and religious. Yes, shame has been brought by some but the vast majority of priests are good. They too need our affirmation and gratitude.

Thus, this blog which could be fruitful is a forum for hate mongers of Church and priests and for disloyal, malcontents within the Church.

We would also welcome Women Deacons and Women Priests as we believe it is their baptismal right. Many priests are very imaginative in giving meaningful responsibilities to parishioners. When done in a prayerful, discerning way, the quality of Parish life is noticeable.

My church has both facilities as there are so many young families. Of course there must be some one-parent families among us but it is good to see both parents in many instances. If for any reason there is no (trained and vetted)volunteer to act as overseer, then we can have a slightly noisy Mass. My parish is in Down and Connor.
