One of the worst priest pardophiles, Tony Walsh is due to be released from prison this year after 16 years locked up.
It is estimated that he abused hundreds of children.
He raped one boy with a crucifix!
The Archdiocese of Dublin did not report Walsh to the Gardai for 17 years after discovering he was a child abuser!
In 1989 the archdiocese was going to appoint him to the marriage tribunal which only dealt with annulments and sepetating couples
But there was already two paedophile priests working in the Dublin marriage tribunal – Father Ivan Payne and a man names “Fr Cicero” in the official report into Dublin.
Payne went to prison for four and a half years.
AND LISTEN TO THIS
He is still a priest, was never laicized, and still has accomodation and a yearly salary from the archdiocese of Dublin.
Cardinal Connell lent his 30,000 to pay compensation to one of his victims!
“Father Cicero”, who was 63 when he died in 2002, was the chaplain of an inner-city parish.
In the mid-1980s he would invite young girls back to his house. He had a personal computer and was an expert programmer.
He developed a computer programme that commanded the girls to remove their socks and tops, to kiss each other and to kiss him.
He also built a swimming pool in his back garden to attract children.
Complaints were finally referred to gardai in April 2002, but the priest had died before an investigation could take place.
PAT SAYS
Is it not mindblowing and staggering to think of a Christian and a priest abusing a child….but using a CRUCIFIX to rape and abuse them !!!
I cane across a case like this myself in a convent in Newry. A religious order priest was invited in by the nuns to minister to the girls.
The priest based himself in the convent parlour and a nun guarding the door pushed girl after girl into the priest.
The priest penetrated all the girls vaginas with a crucifix.
On the way out the smiling nun asked each girl: “Did you enjoy your time with Father”.
Its simply Satanic.
WALSH
Walsh is now 67.
He could live another 20 years.
Is he a danger to children?
He’s bound to be.
Unlike Payne he is no longer a priest and will not get a church property to live in or a salary – at least I hope not!
But do you ever reall know?

There have been some experiments in the US of putting paedophiles in separate communities together away from children. They’ve had some good success because the paedos exert peer pressure on each other. There isn’t really anything that works with them though.
For clerical abusers I think the church should be forced to house them. They can always manage to find an executive detached house for a wayward bishop who hasn’t gone to prison. If, say, empty rooms at Collegeville, caused by the precipitate decline in vocations, were used they would hardly notice. In fact the guest paedos wouldn’t be in much different position from the monk paedos!

Many debates have centred around the response we should or shouldn’t give to perpetrators of heinous crimes after their release from prison. This issue has caused much anxiety, retraumatisation and pain for victims/survivors. What do we do? Do we act as a lynch mob? Are we to set up vigilante groups? I really feel that both government and church have to respond more responsibly so that no further abuse or crimes are committed. Rapists who are freed send shockwaves of anger and anxiety to the victims. Victims feel abused again when perpetrators are freed. I know I would be very angry but I’m not sure what the right response should be. I certainly would not want to be physically close in any way to my abuser after their release from prison.

Only in January 1996 was a decree issued by the Vatican confirming that Walsh had been “dismissed from the clerical state”. Extract from news.
‘Hes probably on the same level as brendan Smyth’ per the report.
First I heard of him was BALLYMUN parish way back. He’s known as the singing priest.
Rcc had previous form of dumping serial abusers priests to a working class parish or disability centres or school for disabled kids or no education. Thats rcc MO.
I wonder, does it apply right now after all the safeguarding et al.
I recall chatting to a guy who was chased a lot by Tony Walsh way back then. He’s lucky cos he didn’t trust that priest. He told me that fr Tony Walsh at that time had a small place hidden in phoenix Park somewhere. I was surprised to hear that. Its somewhere close to St Mary’s hospital if memory serves me correct.
For sheer audacity and bravado & verve as regards to serial abusers, would go to Brendan Smyth. He was caught in 1965 in Germany I think but he continued right up to 1994. Almost 30 years of evading and undetected before it finally caught up with him. That’s unbelievable. It only smacks of their incompetence.

The Vatican City were told not to abolish the belief and prayers of hundreds of millions of people, but it nonetheless did so just when more of us were (for any reason) inclined to look to it for “authority”. There was a council within the council, and a council after the council, and Heenan like all of us was appalled about being wrong footed. Large numbers of enthusiastic people have done their good natured and willing best to get the meaning out of books described as “ponderously ambiguous” while bossy powers that be – including JP II, copying his inspirations Teilhard de Chardin and Rene Girard – never intended to read from the same hymn sheet as us anyway. Few of us knew how to do rosary or benediction, and were thrown into the arms of hysterical “protestant” occultists.

12.45 & 11.40, God makes churches work far better for far longer than they theoretically “ought” (e.g as per “sacramental” theology). J H Newman helped millions, but they all got slaughtered in the Great War. The Vatican City like some other fundamentalists, misreacting to Freud and Reich, placed “overt sexuality” criteria too far above cultivating our own quality of purity according to our station (giving the world the idea of moving the “goalposts”) and respecting the private forum and subsidiarity in fellowshipping.
My parents’ generation were all poised to pass faith on when they were told to hold on, they would be told what they were supposed to believe (and not what they already did). Bp Pat’s parents – and a contingent of relatively good formators still extant around him at that time – evidently held onto the good and kept the bad largely in its proportionate place. In my specific neighbourhood of the time, in S E England, the RC didn’t offer social glue and didn’t have an intellectual hold. Trying to generalise about its “catchment population” falls apart.
Sadly, falling back on solely worldly means of persuading has been the lid on the “coffin”. Somewhere along the slope the Walsh situation developed, and a lot of work at everybody’s interpersonal, theological and institutional levels (especially prayer) is now needed. I believe in baptism, confirmation and Scripture, but why was the rest made so intensely amorphous? What should have been a regrowth of what was always good in the faith, is now touted as a separate kind of “evangelisation”.

If Walsh’s sentence was originally 16 year, most likely he’s only served half that and, all other things being equal, will get out on bail to serve the second half of his sentence in the community. He will still be subject to probation supervision and oversight and may even have to wear a tag. If he as much as sneezes in the wrong place, they will have him back in prison. So, I think it is a fair bet to say that for the next 8 years, at least, he should be well observed and not able to carry on as he did before. Maybe he’s seen the light, and is a new man ! He may well have played that game in order to show that he is ready for supervised release. We have to accept the justice system that we have, and Walsh is entitled to the same treatment that other prisoners receive, but at the same time we must stay very alert. As to how he will be housed, fed, given money etc, I would suggest that the Church keeps well out of it and doesn’t try quietly to keep him comfortable. We will find out about that. Instead, Walsh should be subject to the same conditions as other released prisoners and his simple needs will be catered for. It won’t be a great life, but it will be better than prison. And, hopefully, it will continue to be a reminder to him that he still needs to do penance for the terrible things he did to innocent and vulnerable children. He will be inclined to minimise his crimes to himself and to others, but let anybody who meets him in the future be fully aware of what he has done and not be fooled. It is a reality and burden that he must, and should rightfully, carry for the rest of his life. There is justice in that.

@ 11.34: I advise a fresh look at MC’s comment at 10.33am first. His response to prisoner Walsh having boiling water with sugar thrown into his face was that it was terrible. MC appears to acknowledge the need for protective segregation of inmates like Walsh.
Granted he asked how did Walsh get so fat on prison food at 10.30am, and that is easily answered. Prison food is not the most nutritious; as another commentator has observed, it is mostly carbohydrates, conducive to piling on the pounds. Also Walsh would probably have been on Ireland’s version of the UK prison “rule 43” which, in brief, is about segregating at risk inmates. This often, but shouldn’t in a well run prison, leads to reduced opportunities for work, socialisation and exercise. This greater confinement is not conducive to burning off the calories…
On a separate but not unrelated note: there is a mistaken idea that people are sent to prison to be punished. That is nonsense. The imprisonment is itself the punishment. But this leads to some prison officers and inmates dishing out their own punishments/ retribution on certain inmates. Such attitudes do nothing for restorative justice or any possible rehabilitation.

It is a difficult issue, what to do with offenders who have served their sentence. Especially with people who have intractable criminal tendencies, like sexual abusers of children. However, unless you lock them up for life, or return to capital punishment, they will at some stage come out of prison after serving their time. In our countries, big emphasis is laid on rehabilitation as an integral part of the justice and penal system. Punishment, yes, but also rehabilitation, recognising that we cannot give up on everybody and that conversion and change is possible, and that this person will eventually return in to society. That’s also part of the Christian emphasis on justice. The trouble with the likes of Walsh and his predilections is that one can never be sure if he has in any way been rehabilitated. Child abusers are past masters at fooling people. It is their modus operandi, exhibited in grooming, patience and coercion. He may well not have rehabilitated. So, with the likes of Walsh it is important that an eye is kept on him once he is out. The police and statutory services will attempt to do that, although resources are thin. Many have expressed views about the Church cutting the ties with people like Walsh once they are out and not having anything to do with them. However, maybe, just maybe, the Church could be doing society a great service, and even paying back to society and victims for what was inflicted on them by the shortcomings of the Church over the decades, by providing some kind of oversight and accommodation for the likes of Walsh. Not necessarily to be nice or soft on him, but as a way of helping to ensure that an eye is kept on him, that he is supported to not return to his old ways, and to provide a service for society and victims. I’m not appealing for a soft option for Walsh etc., just some way of ensuring that when he is out that he does not reoffend. Just cutting him completely loose could be the most dangerous thing.

The homily was wise, encouraging priests not to have a sense of entitlement and not to be ambitious. Rather, priests should pray to Jesus every morning and should journey with, serve and guide their parishioners.
Unfortunately, his mic picked up his side comments to the adult servers that they were putting too much sanitiser on his hands before he touched each candidates/elect hands. “That’s too much, just a small drop!”
He also heard reminding at least two of the candidates/elect to kneel before him on the TOP step!

However, my own view is that removing these men, insofar as possible, from temptation (from being around or near children) can, obviously, reduce those urges and help the person to develop new behaviours, a new habit if you will.
However, the requirement for personal isolation here must never be comopromised in any way: paedophilic/ephebophilic atrraction, sadly, is for life.
A paedophile or ephebophile priest who accepts these restrictions on him as, say, a penance can grow in holiness, just like anyone else who so chooses. But it would require great self-discipline and a willingness for daily self-denial. In spiritual terms, a willingness to embrace the Cross for their salvation, and the salvation of others.

The ‘the church has changed’, ‘i abhor abuse’ and ‘I have done so much about abuse’ crowd are always very quiet on days like today. They don’t have a leg to stand on, of course.
Deaf Guy makes an excellent point about abusive priests being dumped selectively. A major dumping place was ‘the missions’ and that is where the scandal will shift next, along with dismay at how American dioceses have declared bankruptcy to save their assets.
Could that be the reason the Vatican has investments in several countries, so that if the law requires them to hand them over in one place they are safe elsewhere?

“The Southport sockmen tricked drinkers into handing over their socks “for charity” during the 1990s.
But when their homes in the resort were raided, police found an 18-inch deep “carpet” of socks.
They were hanging from lampshades and even covering the microwave.
Both men were jailed in 1998 for conspiring to commit acts of gross indecency.
* While in prison the pair served out their time working in the laundry room – even cleaning other prisoners’ socks. * so-called rehabilitation, ey? Unbelievable 🙄
