WHICH IS WORSE BLASPHEMY – CALLING GOD A RAPIST ON A COMEDY SHOW OR A PRIEST AND SEMINARIAN HAVING GAY SEX ON A CHURCH ALTAR?

AMY MARTIN is all up tight and having hot flushes because God was called a rapist on an RTE comedy show.

****BUT AMY HAD NOTHING TO SAY WHEN A PRIEST AND SEMINARIAN HAD GAY SEX ON AN IRISH CHURCH ALTAR??

I would regard the gay altar sex as far more blasphemous towards God – and Amy & Co could have sacked the men involved – but stayed silent and did nothing!!!

FROM RTE

RTÉ apologises after complaints over NYE sketch.

RTE apologised to those who were offended by the segment

RTÉ has apologised after a number of people complained over a Waterford Whispers sketch segment in the New Year’s Eve countdown programme, which was broadcast on RTÉ One television.

In a statement, the broadcaster acknowledged that some viewers were offended by the sketch and said that around 600 complaints have been received so far.

It said: “RTÉ recognises that matters which can cause offence naturally differ from person to person, within comedy and satire in particular.  

“Having reviewed the feedback and complaints received up to this point, RTÉ wishes to apologise to those who were offended by the segment.

“The formal complaints received by RTÉ are being entered into our complaints system and will be responded to in accordance with the relevant statutory process.”

In the ‘Waterford Whispers’ news report, presented by former RTÉ News presenter Aengus MacGrianna, God is described as being “the latest figure to be implicated in ongoing sexual harassment scandals”.

The clip ended with a line that movie producer Harvey Weinstein, who is serving a 23-year sentence in the US for rape and sexual assault, had “requested for a retrial in Ireland”. 

The Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland called on RTÉ to remove what he described as the “deeply offensive and blasphemous clip”.

In a tweet, Archbishop Eamon Martin said he was “shocked” that the programme’s producer or editor “didn’t realise how deeply offensive was a mocking ‘news report’ accusing God of rape & reporting his imprisonment”.

He continued: “To broadcast such a deeply offensive and blasphemous clip about God & our Blessed Mother Mary during the Christmas season on ‘NYE Countdown Show’ on @RTE, @RTEOne & on Eve of the Solemn Feast of Mary, Mother of God is insulting to all Catholics and Christians”.


Dr Martin also added the Twitter handle of RTÉ Director General Dee Forbes.

FROM AMY

IN REPLY TO AMY

PAT SAYS

Is it not time that institutions like RTE told Any Martin to go and suck a zube?

Ireland, no longer is a Confessional Catholic State.

Amy & Co are going to have to get used to becoming increasingly irrelevant and contemptible in our new secular and plural state.

600 people out if 4 + million complained to RTE about this scene.

I didn’t see it and have no desire to see it.

As a Christian I don’t like God being insulted.

But God is a big guy. He can look after Himself.

And the likes of Amy do not represent God in my eyes.

AMY?

QUESTION?

WHY DID YOU NOT MAKE A STATEMENT WHEN A PP BONKED A SEMINARIAN ON THE ALTAR IN KILDORRERY CHURCH?

WAS THAT NOT A GREATER BLASPHEMY?

PUT YOUR OWN IN ORDER FIRST!


AMY MARTIN AND ROME

I am informed by an Armagh source that Amy Martin had a very serious missive from Rome concerning some of his priests and seminarians.

Archbishop Eamon Martin is not Dr Martin. The practice of referring to a Catholic bishop without a doctorate as Dr is an instance of clericalism.

That’s true. They are medical doctors rather than doctors of medicine. This is not a quibble, but a significant academic distinction. The former may use ‘Doctor’ as a courtesy rather than as an academic right. This applies also to most dentists at least in the UK.

With Archbishop Martin it is different : the title ‘Doctor’ is used of him in acknowledgement of his supposed leadership role in the Church : ‘doctor’ in Latin means ‘teacher’.

My friend Pat, it is absolutely disgusting what happened on that altar. It should be taken down and burnt like the one in America. I cannot believe that the bishops of Ireland have not done this. What are they thinking? But like you, I also feel very uneasy indeed when God is insulted. The trouble is Pat, we have been betrayed by Christ betrayers. It is their fault that we are now made to be seen as a big bunch of eejits. Sorry for the lightheartedness. But, am I wrong?

Your post contains illogic. If RTE apologised to ‘ALL Christians and people of faith’, then, logically, among those to whom it apologised is the Catholic Church.

RTE received 600 complaints. Logically again, the vast majority of these almost certainly came from Catholics.

I am no crackpot, but you are a liar.

The Republic of Ireland is not as secular as some like to think. The institutional Roman Catholic Church still weilds considerable influence there, but perhaps less openly these days.

Just in from a night call yo a serioudly ill parishioner whose family requested Anointing of the Sick. Then i read the issue for blog today. I find it very strange that Pat would make such judgments about Archbishop Martin simply because he expressed his outrage at the offensive content which references God as a rapist. God is accused of landing on a young eastern woman and impregnating her – raping – and is considered the latest to be imprisoned for such a crime. Apart from the deliberate act of blasphemy and ignorant disrespect to a SACRED Christian belief, joking abiut RAPE IS NEVER A LAUGHING MATTER nor something to be treated with fun, humour or satire. Sadly, Pat uses the disapproval of this offensiveness by the Archbishop to launch his well worn invective against Archbishop Martin, for all the wrong reasons. I am disgusted with the Pat Says predictable diatribe and the myriad of extraneous, irrelevant issues he refers to in justify his condemnation of the goid Archbishop. For someone who has spoken about his abuse – which I too experienced as a teenager – it is morally repugnant that any person should treat the item of RAPE SO FLIPPANTLY AS PRESENTED by RTE as a laughing matter. Put in “child abuse” as the latest crime warranting God’s imprisonment instead of rape, and we know the tsunami of condemnation RTE would justifiably receive. To list a heap of other incidents alongside this issue, as Pat has done, is disingenuous and superfluous. This offensive piece of anti Christian attack by RTE has overstepped boundaries of decency and respect..THE RAPE OF A WOMAND OR MAN OR A CHILD ARE HEINOUS CRIMES WHICH DAMAGE PEOPLE FOR LIFE ARE NOT LIGHTHEARTED ISSUES TO BE JOKED ABOUT IN ANY CONTEXT.

You are poorly formed in your Catholic faith. There is no such thing as unforgiveable conduct before God, even the act of gay sex on a consecrated altar. This behaviour may be unpardonable in your eyes, but not in God’s, since he would gather ALL to him, including even his murderers/executioners on Calvary: ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’

However, sin against the Holy Spirit (that is, continued ignoring of his grace to repent) IS unforgiveable, and your posts here prove that you are wilfully ignoring these calls, since the nature of most your comments (wishing evil on people rather than mercy) is morally atrocious.

You have repeatedly been warned of this, and you have repeatedly ignored the warnings, even today, with your clear wishing certain individuals in Hell.

Time is running out for you, and when it eventually does so, the one thing you will not be able to protest before God is that you did not know.

You have been told/warned here many times (and probably elsewhere, too, so obnoxious are your thoughts), and you are being warned yet again today. Have a care: there is no reprieve from wilful refusal to repent.

Unless you are a troll, you are condemning yourself before your own, and our, very eyes.

Heed, through me, the prompting of the Holy Spirit. And do it today.

I agree with you Pat, but, in fairness, RTE wouldn’t have published such a sketch about Mohammed. Amy is a big girl, afraid of her clergy, afraid to take the bull by the horns for fear of what might emerge, not like the new AB of Dublin, if the article in yesterdays Irish Times is to be believed, “Get up off yer arses lads you can make up the pay cut by performing for your parishoners”. It will be interesting to see how he gets on, his position is some contrast to the way Roaree was and is treated by Amy. The lad on the altar should go to the gym and either deadlift or squat, it will improve his posterior no end. God bless Big Mick, he would have needed the whisky to ride that flabby arse.

I think the butt in the photo belonged to Lomasney, did it not? Wasn’t the seminarian ON the altar rather than alongside it?

On a point of credibility, if that butt is Lomasney’s, how was he able to perform with his ‘partner’ on the altar. Lomasney was not just a short guy; he was very short.

You hear my voice, but you still are not listening.
Punishment for sin does not mean that I impose suffering on individual sinners. Would you punish a toddler for being a toddler? Then why would I punish a sinner for being a sinner?
By nature, you all cannot avoid sin, no matter how hard you try to do so. And trying to go against your nature by going it alone, without me, is ALWAYS an expression of spiritual pride, a further and grave sin.
You, as human beings, are LOCKED in a sinful state. How could I punish you for that which is neither your fault nor fundamentally your culpability?
Instead, I have shown mercy, not sanction, against the human race by sending you my beloved Son that he might do by his nature what you could not do by yours: always say ‘no’ to sinful temptation, despite the enormous pressure of weakened human flesh to do so. Only God in his perfection had this strength; you humans do not. And I do not punish the blamelss for inheriting, through their bloodline, the oppressive weaknesses of their ancestors, and for receiving those that arise through the individuality of their personhood.
In my Son’s spirit , you all will find the strength and guidance to overcome, in good time (and provided you persevere) the oppression and condemnation of your nature. But you cannot receive my Son’s spirit unless you allow it to mould you in his mercy and compassion for others.
I love you. But my love for you cannot save you from the ultimate Hell of human nature unless you invite this love into your hearts, with humility, with gratitude through mindfuness of your own failings and potential for such failing, and with obedience.
Wishing evil on others (wishing them in Hell) is neither my nor my Son’s wish.
You do not possess his spirit when you wish such terrible and irrevocable condemnation on another. When you do, you leave yourself open to further spiritual degeneration and, ultimately, to your own condemnation.
This is your choice; it is not mine.

Sin is its own condemnation AND punishment.

Your post, and that of the person at 4.15, suggests that Hell, the ultimate punishment for habitual, and wifully unrepented, sin is imposed by God. This is not so. Christ died to save sinners from that permanent state, the full and unspeakable horror of which he knows. Why, then, would he send sinners there? He does not: instead, he allows them to choose.

Those who say that God send souls to Hell are saying also that he created Hell: that God himself created the ultimate expression and manifestation of spiritual evil. Such claims about me are not only false; they misrepresent my eternal and loving nature, and they keep souls from my embrace.

Be reassured the article by Archbishop elect Dermot Farrell was done by him alone to the Irish Times and not by the communications team at Maynooth or in the Archdiocesan team.
He will lead his own way and many may not like his approach however Dublin needs to move forward in the administration front as it is in the dark ages.
The only part I did not like in the Times was he said no decisions would come from him or Archbishops house with amalgamations that is wrong Pope Francis appointed him to LEAD Dublin and take the Clergy and Laity with him but looks like he is going to be the cart and the parish priests the horse.
The icing on the cake will be if he appoints henchmen as Assistant Bishops (new titles) but that could be a few years away.

I think the Archbishop of Armagh and any other Roman Catholic bishops or clergy need to understand that these days we are all very disinclined to take lectures on pretty much anything, especially moral issues, from them given their close proximity to the grave evil that has been committed by their clerical colleagues, as well as their implicit connection to these crimes by their silence, tacit approval and coverup. Those days of us listening to you, Your Eminence, have long since gone. You probably do more harm to your cause by trying to lecture us, so I suggest you shut up and go away quietly and say prayers of penance for what has been done by your brother priests and bishops. After a period of prayer and penance you might warrant our forgiveness and we might take an interest in what you say.

Well, the priest concerned may have been ill. Although, I’m not sure being ill is sufficient excuse for something like this. But the seminarian probably wasn’t ill. Being “a bit lost in life” surely doesn’t provided sufficient justification for having it off on a holy altar in the sanctuary of a church, surely ?! I think if any bishop knows who these people are, this kind of behaviour would surely be an indication of unsuitability for priesthood rather than just being a case of getting a “little lost” along the way. Do the bishops of these men know what happened ? Have they taken any action ? Or, have they just looked the other way ? I think I know the answer ! I suspect the matter has been put in to the “too difficult to handle” box, and left unattended. That’s call abrogation of duty, denial, coverup. We’ve seen a lot of that before.

Many years ago Pat, long before you came to larne, a private brothel opened up in a house in Craigyhill. It was a well visited establishment. One of the curates in Larne parish had been having a few drinks one evening and decided to go to this establishment in attempt to remonstrate with a catholic girl who ‘worked’ in the place.
A catholic neighbour noticed the priest going in and as he had not exited the building after a considerable time she grew concerned and phoned her friend who was a member of StVdeP.
Shortly afterwards two StVdeP members arrived and entered the house of ill repute only to find the priest in a big bubble bath and receiving the kind ‘ministrations’ of two of the ladies of the house!
It took a considerable amount of persuasion to get the curate out of the bath and to leave. Rumour, unconfirmed at the time, was that one of the StVdeP men was seen visiting the premises later that week! Whatever he had witnessed must have concerned him that he probably felt the need to revisit and rectify matters.

I’m fed up with clergy coming on here and offering up excuses for the clerical misdoings and persons we hear about. The priest was ill, the seminarian was lost, MJB has come good, Roreeeee is going great guns in London….and so on. The fact is that these men have committed grievous sin in their behaviour; they have by and large thought that they could dupe us; they have known that mostly they are unaccountable; they rely on the clerical loyalty and protection league. While forgiveness is a major part of my Christian faith, I think it relies on people recognising what they have done wrong and making some kind of amends and attempts to change. I’m not sure I always see that. Often what I see is guys pretending to take the cure but then carrying on in their old ways, only just a bit more carefully and cautiously. But, according to clergy on here, I’m supposed to rejoice that these rogues have come good ?!

Kildorrery isn’t the only scandal associated with the name of this seminarian. He is either completely innocent and his bishop is absolutely certain he is innocent? Or he ‘has the dirt’ on mitred heads?
