THE MAIN PLAYERS IN OUR MOUNT MELLERARY, SILVERSTREAM AND GLANSTAL SAGA – SEXUAL IMPROPRIETY, COVER UP AND FINANCIAL CONCERNS.

Bp Pat, although embarrassing, Dom Purcell’s “sexual impropriety” will not be considered serious (which it is not) regardless of vows, etc., unless there was some sort of other scandal attached to it.
For example, Kitty and alleged financial mismanagement, Collins and the international incident, or Rory and Grindr contact with a former pupil.
A couple of guys having it off in a kitchen, despite the safety aspects to it, is not going to cause a dispute between two nation-states, nor is just visiting a gay sauna, dirty cinema, or peep show, even if they are priests or monks.
Just my opinion.

What a collection of clerical ghouls ! I do hope that they realise that the days of us automatically deferring and giving our trust to them is long over. For many of us these people are now like bit players in some third rate tv soap, which is largely irrelevant to us, except in so far as they break the criminal law, particularly if it involves the vulnerable. I am not longer surprised to learn of their antics. I say leave them to it. Just don’t give them your money. That will sort them out !

I see Priti Patel looks like she is going to get away with bullying and a judgement by an independent government investigator which is being ignored by Boris. Nichols is filleted by IICSA and has the protection of his boss in Rome, so he says, “So, on we go !”, he says. Does nobody take any responsibility for what they do these days ? Maybe the Purcells of this world are in good company. Why should they take responsibility for their behaviour and dysfunction when people like Patel and Nichols don’t bother to take any responsibility for their failings and arrogance ? Maybe Purcell could show some balls and character and resign. That could be the beginning of his rehabilitation.

Sometimes somebody needs to be seen to do the right thing for the greater good, even though it might cost them something, Purcell should do the right thing and stand aside until the allegations that stand against him can be looked at independently and thoroughly. But, just to tough it out and be arrogantly dismissive of anyone or anything that does not suit your own self-interest is toxic and incredibly damaging. by doing so he compounds whatever sin they may have already committed. No decency, no honesty, no integrity, no self-respect, no respect for others, just overarching self interest. Nichols is in a similar boat. No wonder we are all abandoning this corrupt Barque of Peter.

7.21: Mr. Hourigan, who cares about your so called hard day’s work….doing your nasty orchestrating again…listening to your script writer? Have a look at the hard work of parenting and you’ll know what “hard” really means..Yes, you are a nasty Christian. Sadly, smug, self righteous individuals like you invariably fail to see their own moral and spiritual deficiencies and give themselves an authority to say what they like. That’s not JUSTICE. Your arrogance doesn’t cut mustard with me. I, along wuth many, many others share your “moral” outrage at any abuse, wrong doing, criminal or otherwise. You do not have a monopoly on outrage. However, your harsh, judgmental and relentless pursuance of “failed” monks or clerics is unacceptable. And we all know Jesus cracked the whip at hypocrites but he didn’t leave them for dead on the roadside nor disturb the dead in their graves. You have written an ocean of narratives – repetitively – about Mt. Mellary, Silverstream and Glenstal that you must be exhausted. Do you expect a law suit against you?? All of us desire integrity of conscience and I feel you lack such at the moment in your hounding after those who, while much is expected of them as religious, are obviously flawed human beings, like most of us, and require help and therapy where necessary and a complete “metanoia” with God’s grace.. Surely, the civil authorities ought to be told if “criminal abuse” of any kind has occurred.? If I were to treat some people in my life with such contempt and nastiness, I’m sure I’d be responsible for destructive, self harm decisions taken by others because of bullying, harrassment and intimidation.
