The young policeman and church going Catholic, who was the target of an attempted sexual seduction by an inebriated Father John Pall Lyttle, has never received an apology from the priest himself, the diocese of Portsmouth or it’s bishop, Egan.
This has left the young man very shaken, especially because he is a devout Mass going Catholic and at the time was considering the priesthood 😢.
When Lyttle was in the seminary in Belfast and was in his 20s he claimed that Belfast PP James Donaghy (later imprisoned for abuse) tried to seduce him by plying him with alcohol.
Now 15 years later we see Lyttle trying to do the same thing to the policeman in his 20s.
But Lyttle has been acting out for a long time now – year’s and years.
His difficulties seem to be complicated, as they often are, with an alcohol problem.
There were problems in Belfast.
There were problem in Oscott.
There were problems in Spain.
And now there are problems in Portsmouth.
Currently on the Portsmouth website he has no appointment and his email address has been removed.
THE PIOUS LYTTLE
I think JP should leave the priesthood, get a job and pursue the person life he obviously needs.
Delaying his departure will cause further hurt to himself and others.

Sacred Heart, Bridgeton
For reasons of health and personal well-being, Mgr Paul Conroy has offered his resignation from the office of Parish Priest of Sacred Heart, Bridgeton. With a heavy heart, I have accepted Mgr Conroy’s resignation, which will become effective on 4th January 2021 when he will leave the parish. On behalf of the Archdiocese of Glasgow, I thank Mgr Conroy for his 40 years of priestly service and I wish him well for the future.
I am pleased to say that Fr Liam McMahon, Parish Priest of St Michael’s, Parkhead, will become also Parish Priest of Sacred Heart, Bridgeton, effective from 4th January 2021. I am grateful to Fr McMahon for accepting this appointment and wish him every blessing in his new pastoral responsibilities.

So many priests cope by focusing on their little furrow and avoiding everything else. This is the standard human behaviour when faced with a disgrace out of your control, and I kind of get it. We see this approach in the denial we get here.
Would a decent human being remain in an institution whose child abuse has been described by the UN as amounting to torture? No.
But that is the same mechanism as here but the child abuse scandal kicked off before the internet so they all had an excuse to say they didn’t know.
Nobody has no excuse now and every case of a priest who is off the rails in one way or another is now public and demonstrably public.

Recalled one psych telling me this if someone abused you then it’s probably more likely that you would abuse next one as part of chain of abuses. Think that’s happening to JPL bec it’s in your system unless counselling or therapy sort it out.
For example, cbs abused one deaf boy age 13 then that boy would abuse others later or next or alternatively is to go on an addiction binge of alcohol or drugs for years or few years .
So there is a pattern which they could tell it from the time line and story of the abused person/s.
In my view, JPL isn’t fit for priesthood as he should leave right away and seek help if he can.

Wanted to clarify your point, not every abused goes to abuse another. For example, 1 CBS who abused one particular deaf boy as he in turn abused younger deaf boys.

That pattern was common in some of the abused who went on to abuse young deaf boys in turn.its a bit of pathology that needs to be understood as I’m trying to grasp that point in time.
Others abused end up as addicted or in addiction instead of abusing young deaf boys in turn. I found addiction very difficult to get rid of without knowing and understanding it why it happened. Now I understood that it came from abuses itself then later on in years, I was free from it. Addiction is no joke as its very difficult to get rid of it.
Abusing young kids in turn or addictions are the signs of previous or childhood abuse experienced. This is what I’m trying to say it here and clarify it.

Bishop Pat, I am a Roman Catholic priest and religious.
If the accusations are true, Fr Lyttle is clearly out of control and needs to be laicised, for his own good as well as for the good of the Church. Further, his bishop and other diocesan officials should be scrutinized over the failure to act to stop the ongoing scandal.
Alas, none of these necessary things will happen in the Lyttle affair, as (I fear) will be the case with the monastic offenders and superiors who have become a major (and very necessary) focus of this blog.
I hate to be so jaded. Thank you for what you do, all the same, Bishop Pat.
