You are quick to criticise the Irish Hirearchy for not responding but you are just as bad. How are we to take your future criticisms seriously?

I was the first person to draw attention to his vile and pompous musings and I am glad to see that there are many who agree with me. He is running riot all over your blog, and as a result, ruining it. You must take action now and stop posting his banal and vacuous comments. Any one who calls himself Magna Carta, after the greatest document in the English language tells you all you need to know. A pompous, self opinionated empty vessel who makes, oh so much noise, but does not write a single word of value.

Personally I enjoy MC's comments. I don't feel he bullies anyone more than he is bullied himself for expressing a strong opinion. Furthermore I don't believe people have been turning away in their droves from this blog but since MC is one of the few that are prepared to identify themselves with regularity it is hard to say. I do get a sense that a lot of the moaners aren't a) as knowledgeable and b) intellectual and certainly pushing Bishop Pat to remove him is as bullying as anything they accuse him of. Just turn the other cheek... And lastly, I once had a response from MC to something I posted that showed great compassion.

He speaks like a failed Seminarian or Priest and you continually endorse the venom that comes from his mouth. I'm not surprised when someone told me earlier he was thrown off other blogs, he now seems to have latched well and truly on to yours. The sad thing is you seem to ratify his taunting of people.
