He reminds me of Paddy Walsh = another poisonous basilisk. I have no doubt that down and conner has its similar tale of corruption and vice. When will rome send someone like archbishop wenski to clean up this sh--hole? Noel trainor needs to go. He has no balls to face the rotten state of his diocese. he is tinkering with the problems and indulging the perverted fools. I was once a student in the wing and it was rife with sexual vice and corruption. I have not lost sight of the good priests who helped and inspired me in down and connor but there is an evil still to be exposed. Like Miami, it will all come out in the end and journalists in the sunday world and life will be busy reporting the shit storm that is coming.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-15337251694989545512016-05-06T21:42:22.831+01:002016-05-06T21:42:22.831+01:00Leave the fekkers to rot and build up more communi...Leave the fekkers to rot and build up more communities like the OratoryFly on Th Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520198020314816276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-70917077828248990142016-05-06T11:18:02.820+01:002016-05-06T11:18:02.820+01:00The R C congregation in general tended to be talke...The R C congregation in general tended to be talked at rather than included over the centuries.

A big wave of the Holy Spirit came into the church between the 60's and 80's,in what was known as Charismatic renewal, it was supressed by the leaders and now what we are seeing is a great increase in lay 'cell groups' meeting in houses every week, when they reach a certain number they split up and form other cells. Very few priests or hierarchy are involved and these groups are increasing worldwide. I take comfort from the fact that Jesus said that the gates of hell would never prevail, so there will always be a remnant of true believers, not with an outward show of religion but an inner power faithful to the Gospel. Remembering that St Paul said that those who were living in devotion to Christ would be certain to be attacked. But the Lord would rather have a small clean healthy church than a big ugly sick infested one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-560245614484653312016-05-05T18:09:16.433+01:002016-05-05T18:09:16.433+01:00Dear Pat, how right you are.
