In 1994, an allegation was made that he had abused a 13-year-old boy in 1981, a matter which Ledwith disputes, claiming that he did not meet the boy until after his 15th birthday. In any case, Ledwith settled with the boy and his family, paying a sum of money with no admission of liability and with a confidentiality clause. After the boy had had a meeting with Bishop Comiskey, the diocese of Ferns paid for ‘intensive counselling’ for him and his family. In 1983 and 1984, when Ledwith was vice-president of Maynooth, there were complaints to bishops about him from the seminarians, relating to his ‘orientation and propensity’ rather than any ‘specific sexual activity’. When a senior dean at the seminary continued to make these complaints to the bishops, he was asked to produce a victim. When he could not, he was removed from the seminary."<br /><br />Dr. Ledwith's current 'guru' preaches (amongst other weird things) the following: “Thus the one who needs to molest and the one who needs to be molested—because he needs to understand it—are brought together for the experience. In the understanding called God, nothing is evil.” <br />- JZ Knight’s "Ramtha—The White Book." <br />Which might be considered convenient in certain circumstances.<br />Dr. Ledwith (who was considered for the Archbishopric of Dublin) was under the influence of this 'teacher' while a leader in Maynooth (we paid for his travels to the US for his 'training' no doubt) and now he apparently travels the world teaching this stuff. You couldn't make it up!<br />ELAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-44681557503971002672016-10-19T23:51:32.020+01:002016-10-19T23:51:32.020+01:0020.28

If your referring to Cardinal Brady that's only crime was to implement the farcical rules and regulations that was indictive of the Church at that time.<br />If a priest had of asked me 40 years ago to climb a tree, I like many others probably would have tried it, that was the times we lived in, thankfully that era has now changed and so has the Church and it's moral thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-47881480292417894822016-10-19T23:23:26.332+01:002016-10-19T23:23:26.332+01:00Bishops continue to bury their head in the sand.

Unfortunately he is also involved as spiritual director with the notorious Christina gallagher of the achill house of prayer. This charade has been exposed in various media reports so I won't elaborate here It's a terrible pity fr mc ginnity continues to be associated with this nonsense which is deeply corrupt and damaging to authentic catholicism. <br />The wounded healer. as fr mc ginnity's former superior, never asked him to end his links with Ms gallagher. Me thinks the bishops are afraid to say anything to him now lest they get attacked by the media.
