I visited a friend there a few years back, I felt most uncomfortable by the attention given to me by several students. The big guy serving drinks from the bar was sloshed and too over friendly and I had numerous invites to the best restaurants and tickets for the best seats at a papal audience. It was literally like bees around a honey pot. I would choose never to stay or visit there again. I heard the story of an English Seminarian there a few years back who made unwanted advances towards an Australian Seminarian who took great exception to this. The Australian knocked some of his teeth down his throat and broke his leg. Needless to say, the Australian was thrown out and the English fat queen Seminarian was allowed to stay on and was ordained by Cardinal Nichols a few years back. That's only one of the goings on at the Beda. The Beda students make a special trip in October each year to the English, Irish and American colleges to size up the new intake of Seminarians. It's all rather sordid and seedy.<br />Birmingham PPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3543129696041324861.post-31450834136733867202017-04-12T15:09:15.184+01:002017-04-12T15:09:15.184+01:00Even if celibacy were abolished, I believe you wou...Even if celibacy were abolished, I believe you would still have these promiscuous men who are utterly unsuitable for priesthood. <br /><br />Priests who are engaging in the kinds of activity being described by this "escort" should be dismissed from the priesthood. <br /><br />Seminarians, likewise, exhibiting this scandalous behaviour must be expelled from the seminary. <br /><br />No priest is perfect. They are all sinners; but this flagrant disregard for God's Law is shocking. To tolerate it is, in itself, a grave sin and scandal. <br /><br />God have mercy on the soul of any bishop, at his judgement, who "allows" these activities and/or participates in them himself. <br /><br />All of that notwithstanding, these scandals are nothing new in Church history. Things have been as bad, if not worse - and thus it shall be until the Lord removes the weeds from among His wheat, as He has told us Himself that He will do.

You mention that this is Holy Week. <br />Today is Spy Wednesday, the day when one of Jesus' chosen friends betrayed him for thirty pieces of silver. <br />Maybe the opening story above which describes how someone used his seminarian years to serve as training for his chosen life as a male escort is more apt than it first appears - -Here is someone who had the privilege and opportunity to enter into a special relationship of love and service for his Master but squandered it in favour of the wages of sin. To those who are given most, most is expected.

On Ash Wednesday, they ran out of communion and half the queue had to go back to their seats. There are rumours of a dispute between Collins and the folk group which is why they asked him not to keep the vestments they bought him as a gift for going with them to Rome. He donated the vestments to Bishop Daly who was buried in them. The nature of the war between Collins and the folk group was quite fierce. Father Collins gay walk and mannerisms made him the subject of ridicule as well. McKeown knows something and had a far fetched and devious justification in the Derry Journal yesterday for why he allowed the tricolour on Martin McGuinness's coffin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
