DOWN AND CONNOR RETURNS £ 10,000 COVID GRANT TO GOVERNMENT

EMAIL TO LARNE PP

9th April 2020

Rev. Francis O’Brien
Parish Priest
Larne.

Dear Francis,

I received the enclosed letter yesterday in the post.
I had not applied for the COVID 19 small business grant. I did apply for the self-employed assistance package.

I need to ask you a few questions:

Did you make the application for the £10,000 grant in my name and at this address?

Or is this £10,000 the outcome of my application for the self- employed assistance package?

How did it come to be that the grant is in my name and at this address, but the bank details are those of the Catholic parish of Larne?

As the grant is for small businesses – what are you suggesting is the business that is carried on here?

If the grant is for small businesses and my ministry here is that “business” why did the grant go to you and not to me?

Have you applied for £10,000 for the two churches in Larne and the three presbyteries – getting the parish £50,000?

Are these £10,000 applications being made by all parishes across Down and Connor and for all the buildings the church pays rates on – perhaps netting the diocese some millions of pounds?

By the way, Father Eddie McGee, the diocesan press officer has told a journalist that the £10,000 grant was for me and not for the parish.

​

If that be the case, do you propose to transfer the grant to me?

​

I need urgent clarification of these matters. You can email me on bishopbuckley1@outlook.com

​

Sincerely,

​

Pat


​
LARNE PP REPLY TO ME

Most Reverend Patrick Buckley,
The Oratory,
Larne.
​
Dear Pat,
Thank you for your recent correspondence and for bringing this matter to the attention of the Parish.
I am unaware of any application for a grant of any kind, but have forwarded your correspondence to the Diocesan Finance Office for their attention.
​
Yours sincerely,
Francis (Very Rev. Fr. F. O’Brien P.P.)

The Diocese of Down and Connor can confirm that on 3rd April 2020, as part of the Government’s COVID-19 response, an automatic ‘small business grant’ of £10,000 from the Department for Economy (NI) was received by the Parish of Larne in error. Within the diocese, this was an isolated incident.
​
Having become aware of this mistake, the Diocese of Down and Connor immediately contacted the Land and Property Services (LPS) to draw this oversight to their attention and to arrange the safe return of the grant.

PAT SAYS,

I did not apply for a grant.

When the details arrived by post I contacted the Government Grant’s department and was told the money went into the Larne Parish Account.

The Larne PP said he knew nothing about it.

He passed my email to him to Bishop Treanor.

FATHER EDDIE MC GEE

The D&C press officer Fr Eddie McGee first said it was for me.

The diocese then issued the above statement.

Isn’t it interesting that the Church is a charity for tax purposes and a ltd company for reasons of grants and liability.

Is there an element of mental reservation going on… perhaps an isolated incident insofar as it is the only application relating to your particular presbytery?

If you had not found out would the money have been returned?

I would strongly encourage an application under freedom of information seeking a copy of the application. And then publish a copy on this blog, with the signature clear and visible. Make no other blog narrative that day – just publish the document.

Potentially exposing financial fraud (and further malfeasance) in the institutional Romanist Church is ‘antics’?

HOLMES: You have discounted, Watson, a significant variable in this conundrum: Holy Mother Church loves money, above all else. And the less she has, the more she loves and covets it. Her priests are indolent, workshy, spongers, scroungers, and moochers, but the Faithful are now no longer faithfully replenishing her fast-draining coffers. In such dire circumstances, Watson, necessity can become the desperate mother of invention… in this case, the lie that Holy Mother Church is, in fact, not a charity… but-but a business selling salvation to the masses for, well, Masses.’

I think when some of the larger businesses in the UK asked the government for a bailout, they were rightly told to dig deep in to their own profits and pockets first before expecting the tax payer to support them so that they could preserve their riches. Same should apply to the Church. It is, without doubt, wealthy and has resources. Use those first. Then come asking. Dear bishops, you will not be forgiven by the faithful if you are seen to be playing the game to your advantage, and emerge from this crisis still rolling in riches and comfort, while all around you are struggling and suffering. You, too, must suffer and struggle, you must walk alongside the wounded, not just in a pastoral way, but also materially. You keep going on about how priests are accompanying the faithful by their pastoral work. Easy to do when you are comfortable and fat and happy and don’t have to worry about losing your job, your house, you income, your next meal, or worry about your children and family. Let us see you accompany us in a material sense, giving your resources to help those in need, feeling the pain yourselves. Then we might be more inclined to believe you and trust you. Not until.

The circumstances you seek are Christian and utopian, in as far as concerns Holy Mother Church. Naturally therefore, she will avoid them, like the Heaven she preaches. Such self-sacrifice is a self-immolation too extreme for her pampered, cosseted, indolent, workshy, parasitical, sponging, scrounging, and mooching priests.

You don’t believe me. 😱 Just ask her Irish forbears: to a man, each of them ate well during the Famine… while his parishioners (whole families, including children and babies) died slowly, and agonisingly, through starvation. 😡

Second, even if (by the most elastic and implausible definition of ‘business’) the Romanist Church were to be classed as such, it is not conducting any business from Bishop Buckley’s home, now is it? Considering that he is independent of the Romanist Church? Therefore again, there would be criminal fraud in this event.

Sugar Ray Kelly has been yacking again, Bp Pat, this time to someone called Joe Finnegan on some obscure radio station, Northern Sounds. Honestly, Bp Pat, you have never heard the likes!

Joe Finnegan was astonished when Sugar Ray informed him upwards of 27,000 tunes into him online every Saturday and Sunday for Mass.

Sugar went on, normally, I get away with 4 songs during a Mass, but this week, due to the coronavirus, I will try to put in three, or maybe four extra songs. Lucky viewers!

Joe tried to quiz him on the financial crisis as church closures mean that there are no weekly basket collections to fund priests’ salaries, which Finnegan described €23,000 to €27,000 for a parish priest as an absolute “pittance.”

Sugar Ray completely ignored the question and went on to discuss funerals.

Pressed again on the subject Kelly responded thus:

“People do love their priests… they really do, Joe, and they do look after them too. I know for a fact if I ever wanted for anything — anything, Joe — all I would have to do was phone around a couple of people, and it would be at my door in ten or fifteen minutes.”

No, it does not annoy me; it astonishes me. That when all that is now known of the sexual deviancy and criminality of priests in the Romanist institution (and the fact that every one of its priests has willingly vowed or promised loyalty to this institution, not to Christ) people are still disposed to donate money to support what Dr David Starkey honestly described as ‘corrupt, and riddled with corruption’. (There’s a Ph.D for someone interested in probing the mindset of such donors, had he the stomach for it.)

If the Romanist institution changed its name to ‘Mafiosa’, the same people would cease their contributions immediately. Yet, substantially, there isn’t a great difference between the two, except that the Mafiosa might blush at the thought of trafficking children, whether for sex, or for sale in countries like the USA.

But it’s all in the name, isn’t it? That’s the really clever part: just add a theistic title to an institution, however and palpably corrupt, and people will donate to it, unthinkingly and uncritically. The allusion to God seems to dull people’s senses, never mind their innate common sense, to mute incapacity. It may explain why so many Americans continue to support, very generously indeed, pastors who lead, unapologetically, luxuriously wealthy lifestyles, while claiming discipleship of the poor Nazerene.

The allusion to divinity puts ‘snake’ in the phrase ‘snake oil’. And the Cathbots fall for it with embarrassing predictability…while ‘Father’ laughs all the way to the bank😂, all the way from Easy Street. 👍

Two facts for you:

1. The vast majority of priests are not child abusers or a danger in that respect. In fact, they are among the groups of men least likely to abuse.

2. Priests’ vow of obedience to the bishop in no way, not the teeniest little bit, impinges upon their obedience and loyalty to Jesus Christ. There is no dichotomy there whatsoever – except in your hate-filled, poisoned, dark little mind.
