Let's look at your definition of a fact. <br /><br />The earth was always round - a fact. People, for a long time, believed it to be flat. They thought that to be a "fact". The world was eventually proven to be a sphere - that was a FACT - even when not 'proven'.<br /><br />Believe you me - the anxieties about certain individuals raised here may not be proven YET but they are nevertheless FACTS.

I think Bishop Treanor would need to send you all on a course to learn what it is to be a decent human being. I am utterly sickened by the snide comments and downright ugliness I have read in these comments. I will be at the mass of chrism and I will suggest to my lord bishop that he has a closer look at what his priests are posting online. I'm sure you, Fr, will be there too. Smiling and slithering and not a bit of truth about you. You're not fit to be a priest. I'm beginning to think none of you are.<br />What has Fr Kennedy ever done that any of you can prove? Wasn't he cleared of any inpropriety? If not prove it then. Go to the papers as has happened with Fr dallat. Stop muddying his name on this blog. Go and tell all if you can.
