He is an arrogant and conceited buffoon with delusions of grandeur. <br /><br />His pretensions know no limit. He uses his seemingly limitless supply of money to further and promote himself. I am glad that Canon Tuckwell, it would seem, wasn't taken in by "Dean" Kennedy. <br /><br />If Fr C Thomas was infatuated by this clown, then the English bishops need to scrutinise him too. <br /><br />What normal priest jumps up on the back of a 17 years old boy? Then there was the whole episode, during the Schola Cantorum trip to London a few years ago, which led to resignation of Helen Frame. She should be interviewed. <br /><br />Watch the series "Choirboys" on Youtube (type and observe the scene when the boys all sing the Gay anthem - "Somewhere over the rainbow", conducted by the boyfriend, in somebodies garden, during a party, the "dean" swanning about in a boating jacket. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khJPvc2_e20<br /><br />It is shocking and a scandal. Questions need to be asked about the promotion of such a man by D&C and his acceptance by Westminster. The complete ignoring of FLASHING RED LIGHTS OF WARNING!

Receive a complaint<br />2. Arrest the alleged perpetrator to allow an interview to occur<br />3. Place the individual on continuing police bail<br />4. Leak the name of the alleged perpetrator to the press<br />5. Continue the bail to see if the publicity brings forward any other complainants to build a pattern of behaviour<br />6. Keep the bail going as long as possible then hand case to CPS/PPS to prolong the case while awaiting more complaints<br />7. Eventually decide there is no case to be answered, quietly drop it and issue a no further action letter to the person on bail<br />8. If the press show any interest ensure that the public is left with the impression of guilt by not saying the person had no case to answer but explain that there was insufficient evidence to charge the person<br />9. Job done, character and reputation destroyed and move on to the next case.<br /><br />This was the method used for numerous cases in England where individuals had no case to answer, most notable and latest one being Cliff Richard. Only on forums where no evidence is know do these cases rumble on with the belief that there is no smoke without fire. In England the promise of compensation from the government through the victims fund and from the perpetrator has been enough to encourage individuals to file claims that turn out to be false and without evidence.<br /><br />So much for innocence being presumed. The media immediately falls into the trap of assuming that all those making complaints are 'victims' when they are alleged victims or more correctly complainants. Very few journalists are willing to make the distinction, see the current scandal in English football. Some of the alleged perpetrators are already dead or previously convicted but there will be innocent individuals included in the round up with the evil ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-27702277398572112822016-12-05T23:56:17.150+00:002016-12-05T23:56:17.150+00:00Big Lily would like for yiz all til know that she ...Big Lily would like for yiz all til know that she is very shacked about the big Dean so she is.

As one of your correspondents said, Vincent Nicholls hates the whiff of scandal and even more to be embarrassed and in public. I understand he was apoplectic with rage when he saw the press report and the mention of his Archdiocese. It remains to be seen why he took Hugh Kennedy on in the first place? He would not be so understanding or forgiving of one of his own priests who had any sort of cloud over his head. Just one point if I may correct. While Fr Kennedy may well have invited Canon Christopher Tuckwell out for a meal, I doubt that he ever accepted. Canon Tuckwell is very well loved in this diocese and is compassionate, but very shrewd and canny - as befits a graduate of Sandhurst and a former Army Officer. I know for a fact that he gave HK a wide berth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-70767574994406315312016-12-05T18:17:14.701+00:002016-12-05T18:17:14.701+00:00I said on this blog a few months back that Dr Kenn...I said on this blog a few months back that Dr Kennedy was going nowhere within the presbyterate structure in Westminster.<br />His card was well and truly marked before he arrived here.
