GAY JESUIT WHO FELT HE HAD TO QUIT THE RCC.

After reading that Blog, and the Pat Says, I am after thinking I wouldn’t mind being Pope for a day or two. I could sort the whole thing out shure. With one stroke of the pen. Get rid of that word intrinsically disordered. And replace it with “loved by God”. Would you vote for me Pat if you were raised to the Cardinals? 😂

Buckfast Abbey
Father Paul Couch was jailed for ten years in 2007, on two counts of serious sexual assault and 11 of indecent assault.[10] He had committed the offences against six boys between 1972 and 1993 during two periods at Buckfast Abbey Preparatory School in Devon; he was a Royal Navy chaplain from 1978 until 1983 and again from 1992.[11]
Father William Manahan pleaded guilty in 2007 at Exeter Crown Court to eight charges of sexually assaulting pupils at the same school between 1971 and 1978, and was jailed for 15 months.[12] The school closed in 1994.
Ampleforth College
In 1995 Fr Bernard Green, then a housemaster at Ampleforth College, was arrested after indecently assaulting a sleeping boy in one of the school’s dormitories. He received two years’ probation for an incident which was said to have “petrified” the boy concerned.[13][14]
In 2005, Fr Piers Grant-Ferris admitted 20 incidents between 1966 and 1975 including beating boys bare-handed on the buttocks, and taking temperatures rectally. The Yorkshire Post reported in 2005 that former Abbot Basil Hume did not call in police when the initial incident came to light in 1975, but removed Father Grant-Ferris. Several other incidents came to light in 2003, when the abbey hired a psychologist to conduct risk assessments on staff.[15]
Belmont Abbey
Father John Kinsey of Belmont Abbey, Herefordshire was sentenced to five years at Worcester Crown Court in 2005 by Judge Andrew Geddes for a series of serious offences relating to assaults on schoolboys attending Belmont Abbey School in the mid 1980s.[16][17] Due to falling pupil numbers, the school closed in the early 1990s.[18]
Douai Abbey
David Smith, jailed May 2007, was an assistant housemaster at Douai School, Upper Woolhampton, West Berkshire, from 1975. He sexually abused three boys in one year at the school and continued to sexually abuse as an Anglican priest from 1981, sexually abusing a series of boys over a 30-year period.[19][20]
Roman Catholic Benedictine monk/priest, Father Michael Creagh was jailed in November 2017 for two counts of child sexual abuse while he was a house master in 1992 at Douai School. He had previous convictions for paedophilic offences, committed elsewhere in the 1970s.[21][22]
David Lowe, a paedophile and serial sexual abuser, had sexually abused young boys, firstly, at Westminster Cathedral Choir School, London, and, secondly at the Roman Catholic Benedictine Ampleforth College in Yorkshire. Subsequent to and despite his history, he moved to Douai Abbey. A married man and a father, Lowe was appointed Deputy Headmaster at the school in the 1990s, and there is no suggestion that he sexually abused at Douai. Lowe was jailed for 10 years in 2015 for indecent assaults.[23]
Father Terence Charles Fitzpatrick, Roman Catholic priest/monk of Douai School, whilst he was Roman Catholic parish priest at St Osburg’s Roman Catholic church in Coventry, sexually abused a woman, Pamela Brown, between 1989 and 1991. She had psychological issues and approached him for guidance. Fitzpatrick duped her into performing sexual activity “games” under the pretense that they were part of the help she required from him, and stating that the sexual activity was carried out in the name of God. Brown was awarded damages at Birmingham County Court.[24] Fitzpatrick returned to Douai Abbey and continued to serve four Roman Catholic parishes in Berkshire.
The Douai Abbey school closed in 1999.
Downside School
In 2004, a Benedictine monk was jailed for 18 months after taking indecent images of schoolboys and possessing child pornography when he was a teacher at Downside School.[25] In January 2012, Father Richard White, a monk who formerly taught at the school, was jailed for five years for gross indecency and indecent assault against a pupil in the late 1980s. White, 66, who was known to pupils as Father Nick, had been allowed to continue teaching after he was first caught abusing a child in 1987 and was able to go on to groom and assault another pupil in the junior school. He was placed on a restricted ministry after the second incident, but was not arrested until 2010. Two other Downside monks, also former teachers, received police cautions during an 18-month criminal trial.[26][27]
In November 2017, the national Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) started to examine evidence of children being targeted for abuse at the school, along with another major Catholic school Ampleforth Abbey, as part of its investigation into the prevalence of paedophilia in the English Benedictine Congregation and its failures in protecting young people over many decades. IICSA heard that children at the two schools could still be “at risk”.[28][29] The enquiry heard evidence that in 2012, the then headmaster, Father Leo Maidlow Davis, who was the senior monk at Downside Abbey from 2014 until 2018, made trips with a loaded wheelbarrow to a distant part of its grounds, where he made a bonfire, destroying staff files dating back to the early 1980s that might have contained evidence of child abuse at the school.
Father Charles Fitzgerald-Lombard, abbot of Downside from 1990 to 1998, was among three Downside abbots accused by Father Aidan Bellenger, in a private letter, of tolerating child abuse. Father Aidan, abbot from 2006 to 2014, said his predecessors “protected and encouraged” paedophile monks. Wrongdoers at the school were quietly moved between Benedictine monasteries and parishes. Reference was made to instructions from Rome to destroy documents that were damaging to priests. Father Leo insisted that his decision to make a bonfire of Downside’s staff files was prompted by a desire to “get rid of unnecessary old material”. He accepted that the files should, under safeguarding requirements, have been kept for 70 years, conceding that he may have unintentionally destroyed information about child abuse.[30]
As recommended by the IICSA report, a new charitable company was set up for the school in 2019 to separate it from the monastery. In 2020 it was reported that the abbey had sold paintings at auction for over £400,000 to defray legal costs.[31]
Worth Abbey
Worth Abbey and Worth School were initially created as the preparatory school for Downside. In 1995, Father Andrew Brenninkmeyer was suspended following complaints that he had sexually abused other monks, including Father Jonathan Monckton, who left the monastery in 1987 after no action was taken against Father Brenninkmeyer.[32] Father Moncton was not the only complainant.
In 2001, Father John Bolton was suspended for hugging a boy inappropriately.[33] Father John died on 26 June 2013.[34] The headmaster at the time was Father Christopher Jamison, who is currently Abbot President of the English Benedictine Congregation. On 5 June 2018, the IICSA determined that its case study of the English Benedictine Congregation would not include Worth School and Abbey because the evidence in regard of Downside and Ampleforth is sufficient to address the English Benedictine Congregation.[35]

Obviously, it is too late for an ol’ginger like Kitty, Bp Pat, but Elijah and the others at Silverstream should follow this young queen’s example, and do something useful with their lives, instead of sitting about praying, then sneaking off to watch gay porn, which more or less sums up their life.

Very honest and moving account by a young gay man seeking a male partner, but it could just as well have been a priest seeking a female partner. The important think is that they are seeking love from another mature soul. It might not even have to be in a Christian context for the ancient Greeks of both sexes faced exactly the same problems: the search for human love. So what is the particularity of human love, It is what Holderlin, the German poet and his friend Hegel, who first identified love as finding oneself in the other. That is the suppression of one’s own individually in favour of the other, and they performing the selfsame sacrifice for one self. The subject and the object cease to be autonomous and we have the beginings of a community as such relations multiply. But the Catholic Church with their two-tier humanity, the anointed and non-anointed, were the enemy of community so is it any wonder that their was a mass exodus out of Mr de Valera’s ireland – with the highest emigration rates in Europe.
We have to be careful here lest our poor ‘Anonymous’ friend of ‘Jan 16th 6.46’, he of the one note complaint about the tone of ‘first year’s speech at the L&D at Maynooth’ (whatever that is) might have his sensibilities hurt, or he might not be able to follow, but he will have to suffer on for I don’t think that anything I have said on this website was ever heard in Maynooth, which is why the Catholic churches are emptying today.
The search for love is what was missing in Irish life, because it wasn’t understood; it had been replaced by that wishy-washy ‘Agape’ substitute, the disinterested love of God for his creation, which was probably something Augustine of Hippo dreamed up. But he, himself, knew what human love was with his concubine, whose name he couldnt bear to honour her with, but who gave a son which he loved deeply. Read the masterful biography fo Augustine by possibly the greatest theological thinker that Ireland has produced, the Droheda born historian Peter Brown, and who has made that whole period between the pagan classical world and the early Christian imperial world his own particular field of expertise.
Love is finding in the other the answer for one’s own desires in a full human sense, and that includes the involvement of body, as the body is all we have with which to express ourselves. Or in the comforting touch of a supportive hand in some crisis, or in any act of kindness or gift. It can never be found in paedophilic acts because children cannot answer any of our needs. They need nurture and guidance and help into adulthood: they need our support, not our abuse. The pleasures they give us in return are the innocent ones in seeing their young spirits develop as they give us back what we taught them. So let us never go in that direction and call the police on anyone who does. Plato and the Greeks never imposed sex on children, nor did they engage in rape of the young men in their charge like it appears that some professors in some of the Irish seminaries do.
And the priests went on to poison Irish society with their anti-women teaching, so that the Dail was forced to hold a National enquiry into Emigration and Other population Problems 1848-1954, which revealed the higher proportion of emigration of young women out of Ireland in comparisons with men, the decline and later and later dates of marriages occurring. Bishop Lucy of Cork on the commission issued his own minority report, but he hadn’t far to look for the answers for they were right under his nose, in his Church’s promotion of macho maleness and belittling of women. Ireland had forgotten what the essence of human love was, and this young man in his touching letter on this blog could have taught him much. Let us wish him his hear’s desire.
