I have heard enough from people in Maynooth.. indeed I believe a certain member of staff is very worried indeed and students have been warned about whistle blowing). roll onto another fantastic year ( for the Gay brigade and the Pink Corridor) of serving God (Satan I think you mean) and his people (his people need Holy Priests not sadistic sociopaths). Another year of prayer, great friendships, hard work and service (Don't make me laugh...you guys are terrorising the guys who do pray and who want to be Holy Priests). May those who have hate(of the sin and terror you cause) in their heart for the Church (The Church is Holy, not you people who defile it) find peace in their lives.

I strongly encourage somebody to unearth that programme and put it on youtube or something. The other issue is the physical abuse of young men, being hit with fists and bullied by clerical staff, at St Eunan's College, Letterkenny. We cannot criticise the toxic seminary culture without criticising Church secondary schools that were seen as part of Catholic formation as well. It was hoped many would become priests. The stories of violence and verbal abuse from priests are horrendous.<br /><br />Read the following from<br /><br />http://www.alliancesupport.org/news/archives/000369.html<br />Cleaner ?abused children in church?<br />Added on January 23, 2005<br /><br /><br />Enda Leahy<br /><br />THE first case of alleged sexual abuse of a child in a sanctified church building will go to trial in the central criminal court in Dublin later this year.<br /><br />A Donegal man, who was employed as a cleaner by the Catholic church, faces 13 counts of sexual assault and rape. He is expected to plead not guilty to the charges.<br /><br />Colm O?Gorman, the founder and head of One in Four, the Irish charity for victims of sexual abuse, said: ?I?ve never heard of any cases of this happening within the physical structure of a church. No one in our organisation has heard of such a case in fact. Though of course that?s not to say that this is the first time it has happened.?<br /><br />O?Gorman said a high proportion of child abuse took place in the diocese of Raphoe, which covers most of Co Donegal. Last year it emerged that Dr Philip Boyce, the Bishop of Raphoe, left three priests in their posts even though they were under investigation by the gardai for child abuse. Church policy at the time should have resulted in the removal of the suspects until the investigations were completed.<br /><br />Fr Eugene Greene, another priest who was based in the Raphoe diocese, is currently serving a 12-year jail sentence for offences against 26 boys.<br /><br />A BBC spotlight report on the investigation into Greene and the Raphoe diocese revealed that, despite complaints made to senior clergy as early as 1971, the church had nothing on file that could be used by garda investigators.<br /><br />Another former Donegal priest, Paul McDaid, who had been the secretary to the former bishop, Dr Seamus Hegarty, was jailed in 2003 for possession of child pornography as a result of Operation Amethyst into the illegal downloading of illicit computer images.<br /><br />?It?s a diocese with some real issues and very particular problems,? said O?Gorman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-19455006066102986182016-09-18T21:50:15.984+01:002016-09-18T21:50:15.984+01:00to Anonymous 21:22

Don't need 3rd parties to get involved. I have a clear and always available channel. Don't need "directed". He's always there. Mind you he needs to have great tolerance and patience with me bur I know he loves me. I have also discovered along my life's journey that God often gives me the courage to do things I find difficult.<br />I'm no holy roller or jumper for Jesus. Just an ordinary guy. That said I find the subject matter on here hilarious especially the bits where folks actually hold clergy in awe. I think God finds it hilarious as well.
