It was a hard path to put it all behind me.<br /><br />Are we not entitled to expect more from a priest, archbishop and cardinal than we are from a secular politician? What was it the Lord said: "To whom much is given, much is expected".<br /><br />Sean Brady covered up abuse in the 1970's in the Republic. There was NOTHING to stop him going to the Garda.<br /><br />Things were very different in the North where many in the nationalist /republican camp would have found it difficult (and still do) to approach an unacceptable police force. <br /><br />Also, Gerry Adams, unlike Sean Brady, will have to put himself before the people of County Louth within the next few months and face their verdict in an election.<br /><br />If he has done something wrong Maria Cahill can also report him to the police / Garda.<br /><br />I believe Maria Cahill. She deserves truth and justice.<br /><br />I just don't think that she should be a political football and an election weapon.<br /><br />PatThinking Catholicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16589713565062075036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-71223589507080404192014-10-24T05:06:44.424+01:002014-10-24T05:06:44.424+01:00I seem to recall than many in Sinn Fein (including...I seem to recall than many in Sinn Fein (including DFM McGuiness) were vocal in calling for the immediate resignation of that good man Cardinal Sean Brady when his involvement in a minor way as a note taker in a sexual abuse investigation was revealed. Should they not resign now that their own involvement in something much more serious has been revealed? And Pat should you, who were merciless in your hounding of that good man Brady, not be calling for their resignation as well? I think we need to know. So far we have heard nothing but your unalloyed defence of SF. Are you impartial when it comes to the perpetrators of sexual abuse, or as it appears now, very partial indeed depending on who the perpetrators are?

Media is a strange place too. It is quite difficult to find a story with a decent " Shock/horror" content. This seems to be it for however long this "episode" lasts. The bottom line in all of this is that true justice is served Seanroscommonmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748800697962234196noreply@blogger.com
