What do priests talk about these days and how does it connect to the rest of the Mass?-Sean<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />roscommonmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748800697962234196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-90781220816567680472013-11-13T21:05:56.513+00:002013-11-13T21:05:56.513+00:00I have no idea who is feeding you info, Pat Buckle...I have no idea who is feeding you info, Pat Buckley, but what you are saying about Bishop Treanor is totally false.

You honesty and truthfulness in matters not so easy to discuss is refreshing and life changing.<br /><br />As you can see from the responses above - this is the 'life situation' many of us in D&C face. There is NO Christian understanding, love or desire to show pastoral care to clergy who attempt to follow their conscience. We are firmly told to get back into our boxes, crawl back under our rocks and 'function' away!!<br /><br />As for BUCKLEY, I am not giving information, I am simply asking and seeking some advice! Advice that I could NOT seek internally and well you know it!!<br /><br />So BROTHER D&C tell me, what should I do? Should I ignore my reality and the reality of those I have been involved with and continue to 'function' in my double life!<br /><br />Will we ever get a chance to be real? I think of poor Bishop Dallat and his lifetime of lovely partnership, why should it not be acknowledged as a beautiful and good thing.<br /><br />Priest - Belfast.

I'm more concerned about the boyos who say get over your guilt trip and stop giving Buckley information. The attitude smells of a Nazi Commander speaking to his underlings. As Hamlet might say There is something rotten in the state of D & C. I am concerned for the priest who contacted you. He deserves more than being shit upon from a great height. I would urge him to speak to you face to face. What then about the female partners of priests those who are known & those in the land of nudge and wink. I would urge these ladies to stand up and be counted. I would even be prepared to try and coordinate such a move if folk wished, The big sin of modern Ireland is the sin of ignore and cover up-Seanroscommonmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748800697962234196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-8586416548824642222013-11-11T17:20:36.304+00:002013-11-11T17:20:36.304+00:00I agree with above.
