THE NORTHERN IRELAND SEX ABUSE RING THAT INCLUDED LORD MOUNTBATTEN.

PAT SAYS

Sometimes, in discussing sexual abuse in the Catholic Church, we forget that the sexual abuse of children is actually a global phenomenon involving people of all races, skin colours, religions and places.

We have seen sexual abuse rings involving Pakistani men in the UK.

We have seen it in the Church of England.

In fact, the vast majority of paedophiles are neither priests nor even Catholics.

KINCORA

There was a very active paedophile ring in Northern Ireland in the 60s and70s.

It involved very senior people in the Northern Ireland and British establishment, including Lord Louis Mountbatten, a prominent member of the British Royal Family and the “stepfather” of Prince Charles.

It also involved high ranking politicians, medics and police officers.

Child sex abuse is a very old problem.

And in the past it did not get the prominence it does today.

The full truth about the Northern Ireland sex ring has yet to come.out.

Even the IRA and Sinn Fein has had their paedophiles.

Gosh, Pat! All pretty compelling, and no wonder so much stuff “disappeared” and inquiries were shut down. Frankly, it makes the RCC look like a bunch of amateurs.

Pat, Kincora will never be brought to light. Too many big names. Paisley knew all about it and did NOTHING – just like Catholic bishops and their paedophile priests.
Prominent figures in the British establishment, Unionists/Loyalists and “evangelical Protestants” were availing themselves of vulnerable boys and male teenagers.
Not a whiff of homosexuality among these red blooded, “born again” and “saved” Ulster men of course. Perish the thought!
They just fancied the pants of the arses of vulnerable young lads and went back to their poor wives, after they emptied their ball sacks into teenage boys’ anal cavities.
Paul Berry comes to mind and the pervert former disgraced mayor of Newtownabbey, Mr Hogg.
There is also a super injunction, against one of Paisley’s prominent free Presbyterian ministers, who had dalliances with rent boys.

There is an important point in your comment actually, the fact that sexual orientation is not necessarily related to paedophilia. The woman telling Paisley about homosexuality made this mistake as does anyone who makes a connection between homosexual orientation and paedophilia.

Richard Kerr suffered terribly. But I fear that he will simply be used again, this time by Fr Sean McManus, who is a notorious anglophobe and whose adult life has been devoted not to serving the interests of Protestants in Northern Ireland, but in wrenching from them their British identity and connection, and in forcing them into a so-called ‘united Ireland’, in which they would be persecuted, suppressed, and treated like second-class citizens.
I find it impossible to take a grandstanding speech on child sexual abuse from a man who remains a member of an institution that has committed such crimes against children on a far wider, (in fact, on a global) and industrial scale.

This is old news as I heard it years ago. It’s been repeatly covered up for years.
Surprised to see pat said that SF (political wing) and ira(military wing) had paedophiles. Maybe I’m naive but I never heard of it except for Maria cahill.
Writer in 2nd video is very good author. I read one of his book on famous spy, who was gay and also alcholic named guy burgess. It was an interesting read. That spy spilled many secrets to kgb. His cover was blown in USA as Kim philby had to cover for him and also tipped him off in the process.
Anyway that author has fresh or first evidence to date that Lord mountbatten was a peado. He was kicked out of India becos of this. Mountbatten’s wife had an affair with nehru ex prime minister of India. All these liitle details left me wondering as to what’s going on in royal and political circles 🤔

“In fact, the vast majority of paedophiles are neither priests nor even Catholics.” You are beginning to sound like + Nichols, who was in the habit of saying that most sexual abuse of children took place in their own home by people to whom they were related. He liked to minimise and diminish what was happening in his own clerical clique, as if saying it was just a minor blip. We should be looking forensically and microscopically at our own back yard and at our priests and bishops in particular, rather than worrying about other constituencies. There are plenty of other people to look in to those. The fact remains that out of a Church which professes to follow Jesus Christ, so many priests and bishops have been actively involved in sexual abuse and its coverup, involving the most vulnerable amongst them, namely children, and worse still so often children who had been given in to their care. That is the thing that continues to gnaw away and undermine the credibility of the Church and its clergy and bishops. We can put up with the odd drunk, or gambler, or priest who has his fingers in the collection box. What we cannot put up with is priests and bishops who have any involvement in the matter of sexual abuse of children. My own view is that protection and coverup and minimising of these crimes still goes on – in order to protect clergy and bishops and the reputation of the institution. As the O’Loan said about the Met the other day – there is clear evidence of institutional corruption for reputational purposes. Let’s root that out, rather than worry about some arrogant toff like Mountbatten.

Are you disputing the truth or the statistics? Vincent Nichols does have a point. Of course we need zero tolerance of CSA from the churches. However, context is everything and taking matters out of their context a methodological fallacy. Pardophilia predates Christianity. As long as the sole focus is on clergy the danger of impunity continues in respect of the 97% of non-clerical abusers. Your view is culpably myopic. Wake up and open your mind.

Vin isn’t pushing that line because he wants the truth to be known, but precisely so that the truth can be covered up and minimised. That’s his intention all along. He is not interested in the truth. Just in saving his corrupt and sinful Church. At the expense of all else. Including innocent and vulnerable children. He should be ashamed.

At 1.18, so those who challenge the sexual abuse of children in the Catholic Church are just anti-churchers’ (aka, anti-clerical)? Is this the new old approach by priests like you?

You’d think you’d have learned by now that this approach only backfires on the Church.

11.24: Excellent riposte indeed to the myopic 9.07am. Many professionals have expressed the view that the focus almost solely on clerical sexual abuse and criminal behaviour gives the impression (false and misleading) that clerics are primarily the prime paedophiles. Not true. A lie which some vehemently anti churchers peddle. We must be eternally vigilant about child safeguarding at all times and in every setting. Horrendous abuse, sexual and physical has happened within homes, sadly. To tell this truth is proper and legitimate and in no way diminishes the extent of clerical abuse. Your attitude is to ignore the full reality of sexual abuse because you have an anti church agenda. All abuse is repulsive. All. Have you not read recent reports about the treatment of children with special needs, young teenagers with mental health issues being placed in adult psychiatric centres, or the many reports which highlighted the abuse of children in state care – including the tragic deaths of many teenagers? The reports were quietly whispered about and did not receive the attention or debate which they deserved. Obviously, this suits your mind set because you prefer church bashing!!! All abuse us morally repugnant and deserving of our condemnation. Do you get it, myopic fool?

I am Roman Catholic. I am not Anti-Catholic. It is important to have conversations about what is right. The evidence was clear from the video the other day that criminals were moved around.
You are right to highlight the improvements that have been made. Clergy and parishioners are getting unfair criticism when the fault lies with the Bishops who did not act responsibly enough. Both conversations have to coexist.
We should not lose sight of forgiveness either. Evil criminals have to be expelled. Wayward clergy with harmless failings should be allowed an opportunity to atone.

11:15 The attitude that it has changed (and its associated attitude that it can’t happen here) is the most dangerous attitude in child protection, and a sure indicator that child protection training has failed to sink in.
In fact just how dangerous your attitude is can be gauged by its similarity to the attitude of the operators of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor on 26th April 1986. And we all know the result of them thinking it couldn’t happen.
The correct attitude to have is the realistic one that it can happen here and paedophiles function in a way designed to make people think it isn’t happening.

You just can’t get your head round the fact that your church attracts more attention for its very long history of child sexual abuse not just for this fact itself, but because you hypocrites similtaneously and smugly presented yourselves to the world variously as ‘holy’, the ‘Bride of Christ’, and as the ‘one true church’.

In an interview with the History Extra Podcast, the author of the book: The Mountbattens: Their Lives & Loves, Andrew Lownie mentioned that it had been confirmed to him as part of his research by a “senior royal” that Lord Mountbatten was bisexual.

However, more troublingly, he further mentioned that in 1944 that the FBI opened a file on Mountbatten, because of concerns that he was unsuitable to be the Supreme Allied Commander due to his interest in “little boys”.

Lownie recounts that the FBI started to destroy the files once he began his research into this area. He further suggest that it may have been a result of a certain British embarrassment. The relevant section in the podcast can be listened to from minute: 35.25

There’s a school of thought that Mountbatten was taken out because of his fiddling with boys from Kincora ,who were brought to him in Sligo.
Mountbatten himself was quoted as saying about him and his nymphomaniac wife, ” we spent our married life hopping in and out of other people’s beds.”
In addition, he and his wife engaged in sex with Nehru pre and post independence in India.
Another quote from Mountbatten, ” we were a happy little threesome”.
He was known as “mountbottom” in the navy.
Its unclear as to when his interest in young boys became dominant, as opposed to his frequent sex with young naval personnel,particularly in Malta.
Certainly he used the covering label of “bisexual “,rather than pederast,which I think he was.
There’s been an acceptance of bisexuality since time began, in the gentry and royalty,and it’s been accepted that upper class men frequently engage,especially in private boarding schools and the armed forces.
The queen’s uncle, the Duke of Kent,was a notoriously promiscuous bisexual. But it was always consenting adult men,as far as we know.
The problem, as pointed out by another poster, is the catastrophic link between interest in underage boys,young men,and older men as a Conflation of homosexual orientation- something which has condemned all gay men as perverts,paedoes and which has led to so much trauma for them worldwide to this day.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
A gay man does not equal an abuser.
Some abusers prefer girls, others boys.
They are abusers.
Same as some priests are abusers. Certainly not the majority.

Some might be interested to know that some Antinous devotees re-envisioned and re-established an Antinous religion open to all but particularly gay people.

@6:39pm Hadrian would have been aware that his power would last only as long as he had the support of the people / army. Pederasty was accepted, perhaps even regarded as normal but for the emperor to have an adult male lover was not. It would have brought problems perhaps even disaster. I think it credible that Hadrian and Antinous, however their relationship started, were growing into gay adult lovers and that they were both aware of the trouble that lay ahead if their relationship continued but Antinous died, drowned in the nile river and speculation has pondered since, exactly how it happened. I like the idea that Antinous sacrificed himself after Osiris, for the good of Hadrian and Rome. Hadrian declared Antinous a god.

This is a society problem. It is not only the RC church. We have read about the Anglicans, the JV’s and other denominations not to mention other religions which PB has mentioned above. We have read about abuse in the police forces, medical, educational establishments (not just church schools).
All abuse complaints need to be:
Immediate suspension of the alleged aggressor.
Police involvement right from the start. There are not many fictional Father Browns (amateur detectives) about.
If proved completely false prosecution of the accuser. It would not be the first time somebody has been falsely accused.
I do not see what the big problem is. Get rid of the filth out of every organisation. It is as simple as that. Organisations can then get on and do what they are supposed to do with the respect of the people they are supposed to serve.
I do hope and pray that there will be no backlash from some unmentionable factions.
It does not help that MC still rants and raves under different guises. In a previous post he mentioned that he has a hearing defect same as me and would enjoy meeting up at the ent clinic. I would simply run a mile. I would not want to listen to his hatred.

Any form of sex abuse was/is quite devastating especially on psychological level which in turns affects overall health as well. Usually its long lasting effects on mental and soul level. I didn’t understand whats was happening to me due to lack of proper education. It dawned on me after i met psych re the effects that i didnt know in the first place, which was quite brutal leading to a full blown episode. I wasnt totally fully aware of it until after that episode. Then i sort of knew there was something wrong with me.

Firstly, it destroys on the soul level not all of it but damaged hugely (as it depends on the level of abuse). It has a huge spiritual damage effects ,for instance, i didnt want to go to mass on unconscious level when i was young without understanding why. Abuse played a huge part in this, even RCC bigwigs dont GET it now.

To them (Rcc and other abusers outside rcc as well), its all about minimizing the effects of any sexual abuse and get away with it. They have no real understanding of how it affects them (abuse victims), which was hugely and damaging at times, usually longer lasting effects on all levels starting from spiritual to mental to physical.

2nd effect is on mental and physical health and also self care for oneself as well.

3rd effect is on emotional level.

4th huge and sometimes massive struggle to overcome it which takes years. They (Rcc) can talk the talk all they want to but not walk the talk. Talk is very cheap to some bigwigs in RCC with their crocodile tears. This is why Rcc cant be trusted at all, not even one scintilla.

5. Perhaps two things might change RCC attitude to abuses is

a) , Compulsory or mandatory prison sentence if fail to report abuses to secular authorities ,
2) Dont treat them as charity status as just treat them as fully fledged organisation with no charity status and see how would that change their attitude re they have to pay taxes on all donations and be accountable for their actions.

Dont give them such a special status cos they will try to take that advantage and use it. To them ,its all about money and exercising it to the fullest effect to wield power and control.

6. Finally i understood the effects of Nuns abuses on ourselves after seeing Mother Theresa methods on the web. It was quite uncanny and very similar to nuns methods at school for deaf boys. It was an eye opener for me cos seeing it what people espcially local people who met and worked with MT and said about her. Its like a veil opening before my eyes,exposing the dark intentions of the nuns if hidden. I didnt realise that she wasn’t a saint as opposed to be. But saints arent perfect and quite human.

I should say that I personally disagree with Pat’s liberal comment policy. I personally wouldn’t allow about half the comments if this were my blog, but I understand he declines a number of comments every day. I shudder to think what they are like.
I do however recognise one advantage in Pat allowing through so many comments – it allows people to show their true thoughts. I have said before here that this blog allows people a glimpse into the reality of the world behind the presbytery door.
This is the point at which enraged Catholics start hollering that we don’t know they are Catholics and actually that is the real beauty of Pat’s policy.
The simple fact is that whether readers of this blog have any church background at all, what they will see, with the exception of people who obviously are not Catholic, is a bunch of Catholics screaming abuse. They will identify you as Catholics whether you do or not. If they have a church background and understand Pat’s position they will still identify you as Catholics, because who else would have an issue with Pat.
Today they will see Catholics screaming abuse at someone who has been abused and ganging up on someone who isn’t here, and comments politely when he does.
Your attempt to try to shut up Pat Buckley’s blog is a spectacular own goal and shows you up as internet bullies, precisely because Pat lets you behave badly.
Now wait for the screaming to start. I’ll never forget the day a priest was screaming abuse at Magna Carta and ended by saying he would say mass for him!

Peace be with you Anon 9:27. Your post was very one sided. You have turned a blind eye to the Anti-Catholic brigade. It’s like you have no interest in a conversation about what is right.
You have ignored that there are Roman Catholics on here who agree with, disagree with and have respect for Bishop Pat.

9.27: Interesting comnent. I believe, having observed over some time, that while Pat has a wide readership, a small fraction venture to comment. There are different people who comment: priests, ex-priests, present and past seminarians, atheists, some very disgruntled church personnel and church haters. We get glimpses into many personalities on this blog. We certainly witness some very nasty and abusive language. This blog serves as a forum for all view points but perhaps Pat needs to exercise censorship with some commenters who appear all too frequently, goading others into fight mode. We end up with horrible, unacceptable vitriol. There is no necessity for extreme commentary. Incidentally, nastiness is not the sole preserve of clerics!! Many non clerics on this blog are masters at nastiness. I don’t think any person, priest or not, would ever succeed in silencing Pat! I would actually believe that while many, many priests read this blog, only a handful contribute to it. We are beaten down irrespective of what we say. We’re both damned and condemned.

No doubt ‘father’ you respond by saying that abuse is a problem in society when people mention clerical sexual abuse.
Literally the same approach you take to your co-religionists screaming abuse at MC.
If you genuinely think nobody will listen to you, you wouldn’t keep coming back. Yet you and your co-religionists do keep coming back and moaning about supposed anti-catholicism. It makes no sense at all unless you come here to try to control the conversation and if you can’t do that, piss all over the blog so that by making it look bad you can make out it’s other people.
Of you really think what you say in your comment you wouldn’t come here. But I suspect you typed it with at least a mental reservation didn’t you, ‘father’.

10.08: Think you had a few too many drinks with this rather incoherent comment!! NO – “Father” never says that abuse is a societal problem when asked about clerical abuse. Why would I do that? I am not afraid of the Truth.
