THIS FORMER VERY BRAVE SEMINARIAN TODAY RELEASES HIS GDPR PAPERS ACQUIRED FROM DUBLIN, TO CHALLENGE THE MAYNOOTH LINE
AFTER HE LEFT OF HIS OWN ACCORD – HE WAS LATER IN A FIT OF ANGER – DEEMER UNSUITABLE FOR THE SEMINARY AND PRIESTHOOD.
This is the seminarian who made serious complaints about Father Paul Prior’s inappropriate sexual interrogation of him.
This is the seminarian who was written up excellent reports by Father Prior himself – reproduced below – only to be called bad names and criticised after challenging Prior’s line of questioning.
Prior is now with the Jesuits – and problems are emerging there.
So, this seminarian was doing well in all areas – study, prayer life community living and sports.
And then, because he resisted attempts by Prior to question him inappropriately, he found himself enemy number one and the victim of vicious and untrue rumours.
And all those seminarians who stood by him and supported him were all hammered as well.

This all happened in the pontificate of Hugh Connolly, Fanny Mullaney and Paul Prior.

Pat, as I said a few days ago, when I get my hands on my records via GDPR from an Archdiocese I will drag two retired Irish Bishops through the Courts, and also a retired senior member of An Garda Siochana. I will also take former Clerical members of staff from St Patrick’s College Thurles through every Court in the land and if necessary, the European Courts. So watch out for a rap on the door Bishops and Fathers for not only the covering up of abuse but inaction that caused the suicide of a bullied young man in your care. I will also be waiving my anonymity. Access to seminary records via GDPR is going to be a new massive can of worms for the Irish Hierarchy. I recommend every ex Seminarian to request their records courtesy of EU law.

12:00am —
Spoken like a true RC – telling a victim to ‘move on and find peace!’
I find it diabolical that anybody should prevent, attempt, or even suggest that the light of justice not be shone on an abuser.
I also find it astonishing that anybody could advise a victim of abuse to ‘move on’; they can only ‘move on’ when justice is administered and I have feeling there is going to be a lot of ministering going on. Oh, and how glorious it is to see the downfall of that evil institution, that old serpent, the Devil.
Scripture says: ‘’Satan shall be loosened for a short while, before being cast into the bottomless pit.’’ — Could this possibly be what we are now witnessing?
Also, peace comes at the end of a battle – Cancer needs to be cut out; likewise, we need to be pro-active in all Safeguarding issues. The RCC is unable to be pro-active in this regard – rather, the opposite, as the news and different authorities around the globe are now beginning to highlight in their droves.
…… Lord, you have truly kept your promise when you say there shall be retribution on those who hurt your little ones. Alleluia, Our God reigns!
And for the healing of the nations He is allowing all those whose lives have been destroyed and ruined to see the Devil’s very own downfall. In you have I placed all my hope, Lord, because you are a marvellous, loving and protective God.
—There can be NO compromise where Safeguarding is concerned—

Scanning thought these documents, I notice only a couple of references
to what is the obvious and biggest challenge that any seminarian is asked to take on in order to become a priest, namely celibacy and preparedness and suitability for that. It’s in a tick box section about relationships, and refers to understanding of celibacy and affective maturity for celibacy. In the narratives, there just seems to be waffle about this man getting along with people, having a pastoral heart, and going to Mass and devotions. The exercise of ticking boxes about the serious commitment and challenge of mandatory celibacy does not fill me with confidence that the training in this important matter was robust and realistic. It’s almost as if this is taken as a given, and there doesn’t need to be much said or done about it. Maybe things have changed since 2008, although I suspect not. I think most seminarian training regimes will still avoid the issue substantially, resort to muscular christianity approaches to celibacy, and generally try and ignore it as too difficult and intractable to deal with constructively and maturely. Although, trying to be like that in respect of mandatory celibacy imposed on every seminarian or candidate for the priesthood is in itself a nonsense. Perhaps the formators know this really, and can’t find a credible justification for its imposition by the Church. and just take it as a given and haven’t the skills or insight to approach is in a more constructive way. We know that celibacy and the psycho-sexual dysfunction of so many priests has a link to various ways of behaving, and to dysfunction and even criminality. So, why is celibacy not taken more seriously in the formation process, if they are going to continue insisting on it as a prerequisite for ordination ?

A thoughtful comment @10;41. I think part of it is the screwed up nature of the formation staff’s practical and emotional understanding of sexuality. Some red blooded healthy females in the formation teams? …….not wizened nuns!

Wee Pauline Pry-er was very interested in how seminarians coped with their erections; whether or not they integrated their tumescent events with their prayer lives; their masturbatory techniques; and the best way to cleanse semen stains from Egyptian cotton and pastel coloured Calvin Klein briefs. The last line of questioning was solely connected to his hobby of the art of perfect laundering 🧺 and as a footnote for his PhD thesis on the history of underpants and the care thereof.
LikeLike
It sounds as if Pryer did a lot of prying in to the private lives of seminarians. All that obsession with erections and masturbation. For God’s sake, both the most natural thing in the world ! And the Catholic Church turns what is natural in to something filthy and sordid. All in the pursuit of some idiotic mythology of the the celibate priest who is totally giving and at the service of the Lord and his people, whereas in fact it is is a mechanism for selfishness and for dysfunction. I get fed up of listening to clergy telling me of the great gift of celibacy and the charism it is and what a sign it is of their total giving. Bollocks ! Flip the other side of the coin and the buggers are up to all sorts of stuff, out of sight, and all sorts of odd behaviours as compensation and transference. Never mind the most insidious aspect of all this clerical celibacy stuff, namely the duplicity, lying, double lives that these guys find themselves living, which is severely damaging to them and to the Church. I couldn’t really care about their little peccadillos and oddities. What I care about is the damage that is wrought. It’s a completely discredited theology and way of being. Overdue for a change. But still our seminaries pedal this shit.

It’s scarcely credible that a man could have been accepted by the Jesuits disp laying such serious psychological flaws and unresolved issues concerning sex and sexuality. On another note, may I make a public information request? For a moment I took my eye off the ball – as the old fraud CMOC used up say – and have lost the thread re the elusive Joe. Are we talking ex Maynooth, or the Liverpool seminarian ex Wonersh, or the current Wonersh sem from Clifton who made a forward pass at the boy who was so alarmed that he ran away in the middle of the night – though we have been assured that both victim and perpetrator are “straight as a dye”, which begs the question of what they are doing at Wonersh? Finally is this or any one of these Joe Lollard?

A few observations from afar:
The deep craziness in Wonersh, the dysfunction of St John’s in Boston and now, today, the utter unfitness for purpose of Gaynooth as presided over by Hugh “The Dog Ate Me Homework Sor” Cowboy Connolly, “Fanny” Mullaney, Mick “The Extractor” Collins and Pauley Pry-er.
Mullaney was an average student in Maynooth in the 80s. The fact that he is President of Gaynooth means there is a crisis of ability in the Irish Church. They’ve reached the bottom of the intellectual ‘gravitas’ barrel.
Interesting that Pat Buckley says “problems” are emerging with Pry-er in the SJs.
The whole enterprise is in meltdown and no Irish Bishop is fit to arrest the downward spiral. Only for this blog raising questions, walking disaster Diarmuid Martin, would have ordained Micky Jack “Gorgeous” Byrne two years ago.
It’s all going to the wall because a significant number “at the top” are compromised themselves and boyos they have been “in the sack” with are holding them by the short and curlies.
