MY EMAIL TO JOHN KEENAN, THE RC BISHOP OF PAISLEY – AKA + Betty Turpin.
KEENAN’S RESPONSE
John Keenan neither acknowledged or answered my email of yesterday.
SCOTTISH PRIEST ON KEENAN
“Pat,
You might want to ask Bishop Keenan about his “special friend” from Seminary, Fr Paul Brookes, who used to make Johns bed and do his washing & ironing.
Fr Brookes loves to write articles condemning gay people and their lifestyle but now he’s HIV positive and on floats at Gay Pride wee John doesn’t want anything to do with him.
Thanks Pat for posting the info I sent, assurances of my prayers and those of other priests in Scotland”.
BISHOPS
Bishop Pat, for those who doubt the existence of The Daisy Chain or your knowledge of it let me today name those members of The Hierarchy in Scotland, living and dead, who were or are members of The Daisy Chain:
+ Gordon Joseph of St Andrews & Edinburgh (RIP)
+ Keith Patrick of St Andrews & Edinburgh (RIP)
+ Vincent of Dunkeld (RIP)
+ Xxxxxxx of Xxxxxxx
+ Xxxxxxxc currently of Xxxxxxc and former lover of Keith Patrick.
THE REPORT I RECEIVED – REDACTED JUST FOR TODAY:
Bishop Pat,
Now to the next “ring” of the Order of Clergy in the Daisy Chain:
THE MONDAY CLUB
The Monday Club is hosted by Fr Xxxx Xxxxxxx current xxxxxxx Glasgow, His long term partner, Canon Michael McCoy of Newcastle Cathedral, hung himself over historical child abuse of boys at Easter.
Fr Xxxxx’s group involves the following who are couples: Frs Xx Xxxxx of Glasgow and Fr Xxxxx Xxxxxx of Paisley, Frs Xxxxx Xxxxxand Xxxx Xxxxxx who was removed from the Paisley over rent boys; Fr Xxxxx Xxxxxx of Dunkeld; Fr Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Fr Xxxxx Xxxxx both of Edinburgh, who was recently arrested for sexual assault of a teenage boy.
THE TUESDAY NIGHT GROUP
The Tuesday Night Group is hosted by Fr Xxxx Xxxxxx of Glasgow, and his long term partner, Fr Xxx Xxxxxxx former xxxxxxx of Paisley, both former lovers of Deacon Xxxxx Xxxxx. Also in this group is another lover of Deacon , Fr Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Vocations Director of Xxxxxx Fr Xxxxxx is also a former lover of the undertaker Xxxxxx Xxxxxx.
THE FRIDAY NIGHT GROUP
The Friday Night group is hosted by Fr Xxxxx Xxxxx, Director of xxxxxxx in Glasgow, he is also a former lover of the undertaker. Present at Friday night dinners are Frs Xxx Xxxxxxx, retired, and Fr Xxxx Xxxxxx, known as the priest who can get a bed at any chapel house. Also present at these dinners are several lay people including Mr Xxxx Xxxxxx, former lover of Deacon Xxxxx Xxxxx, Mr Xxxx Xxxxxx who is brother of Fr Xxxx Xxxx of Motherwell. They are both nephews of the Glasgow xxxxxxxxx who covers up for the Daisy Chain.
All true, do with it as you wish. Any Scottish source you have will confirm all this.
Bshop Keenan is friends with the undertaker. Bishop Keenan has made 3 staff members redundant and sign NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENTS when they questioned him for paying off rent boys that were visiting the PRIESTS HOUSE to service Fr Xxxxxx Xxxxx
I’d be surprised if Keenan gets Glasgow, he’s not lied.
Looks like Bishop Nolan of Galloway for Glasgow.
Do you know that Philip Tartaglia’s former Vicar General, Mgr Paul Conroy, a very intelligent man, left in January and last Monday married his housekeeper of 20 years, Irene Mackintosh in Iteland?

And promotion in the Scottish RC church comes down to who you slept with or gave a blow job to.

I think it’s a pity to name the deceased bishops or clergy as – while I have little to no doubt that the report naming them is accurate – there’s the natural justice issue of their being obviously unable to defend themselves against possibly unjust accusations.
The names of those still alive and making their (double) living out of the Church – that’s a very different kettle of fish “rotting from the head down” to quote Anonymous @ 7.15.am
Their names do need to be published – the unsuspecting faithful have a right to know if our bishops and priests are authentically Catholic or (at the risk of repeating myself) living double-lives.
I had been planning to publish the news of “The Wedding of the Year” in our September edition, but you’ve beaten me to it, so I may publish a blog on the topic, if only to underline the fact that – yet again, sadly – we have been vindicated by our exposé of clergy living a double-life. Despite that, I notice that your Scottish priest source approached you, and not me or moi, with the Daily Chain list. Can you see my green eyes from across the water?
As for that “Daily Chain” – that is, presumably, the “network of ‘gay’ priests operating under the noses of the bishops in Scotland” revealed by Fr Gordon Brown (Edinburgh) on the front page of the (Scottish) Sunday Mail some years ago – something I’ve often quoted.
The increasing brazenness with which these priests (and bishops like John Keenan) are living in open defiance of the Church’s teaching and disciplines, is breath-taking.
It will be interesting to see what, if any, reaction comes from the hierarchy/redacted names on the Daisy Chain list.

It’s sickening to read this morning blog. The utterly sheer brazenness of these priests involved in daisy chain plus bishops.
Rcc method from top dowm in response to this is SILENCE(=omerta). Not surprised at all, the more I see their response for example, Dom Purcell and phonsie is to say NOTHING and NOTHING at all whatsoever unless it’s exposed to the outside sources such as the press. For instance, KOB resigned when 4 men reported it directly to a journalist (outside source) at the eve of a papal conclave. It made me realise now that’s its more or less a gay profession (my apologies to priests who are straight or hetreo as I don’t mean to imply them at all).
To be honest, I don’t know that much about Scotland RCC, quite frankly none at all whatsoever except for this blog. The only time that I had visited Scotland was a footie game in Hampden Park re Celtic some years ago. It was an enjoyable day out with friends. Glasgow City reminded me of Belfast ( of troubles) as I was kicked out of ‘rangers’ owned pub cis of my Irish accent.
Its a network of gay priests aka daisy chain as KOB name was mentioned there. I was wondering if there was such one in Ireland as this daisy chain (Scotland aka) in some dioceses where a Bishop knew of its existence and let them carry on with his approval or tacit approval. Does Crean or other bishops knew of its existence?
Bishop Scicluna name was mentioned 👆. But I think he’s useless cis he’s unable to remove them cos one reason or another whatever it is. Heard his name many times at the height of abuse crisis in rcc. But now he’s useless or had been cos of his inability to remove priests or bishops as he found them or named them in his report to the Vatican.
To be frank with you, I wouldn’t discuss it with him cis knowingly that it would come to nothing at all whatsoever. Then why talk to him if no certain outcome to be seen. Talking to gardai or an outside source would be a best place to get it out. That’s a first step cos we made some mistakes talking to rcc first instead of the gardai or outside in the past.
To me, its getting more and more shockingly re aka ‘daisy chain’. I’m sure it’s not the first time cos it was under wraps before or under the radar for a long time.
Is there more to come in other dioceses or around the world re rcc, its just me saying 🤷♂️?

These revelations are pretty horrendous if, when these individuals meet, they engage in weird orgies. It may only be a case of people of similar mind meeting together: we cannot conclude conclusively but as always, there seems to be a sexual component to these gatherings. I remember once being invited to a soiree by a wealthy (gay) bachelor parishioner (great chyrch goes with whom I chatted frequently) and, without being told, found myself in the company of a very well connected professional group of men – married, single, gay. At the end of a long meal served up by a thoroughly gay queen (nephew of the host who also lived in parish), with wine for every course, I excused myself to leave shortly after midnight. Some others likewise went to leave and came to the gate…Short brief chat and when I drove on, all 4 returned back inside the house to join the other five still inside. Present were professional people – ages 25 – 80…..I never again crossed that front door. What happened after I left, I don’t know but all looked like there would be fun after midnight!! I discovered later on that it was a regular on a fortnightly basis….Nithing wring as such but I personally found it weird, strange and very revealing….It wiukdn’t be for me and I later told the host that I was taken aback not knowing that so many would be there…it emerged me completely….But I could not make definitive judgments…if that’s what some oeoplecwant, surely that’s their business alone as longer no criminal behaviour of any kind is occurring….

Wow!! They sure pushed/frustrated the source to open up about the Scottish situation.
Interesting that the Canon Michael McCoy was identified as part of the Daisy Chain – he clearly had a lot on his mind when took his own life by his own hand.
He needn’t have worried so much as Bishop Robert Byrne would have been a safe pair of hands to cover things up.
Clearly the Cathedral community and the Bishop knew all about McCoy – what they didn’t know he had a boyfriend?
Mind you having a boyfriend was the least of his problems given he was accused of child abuse.
Robert Byrne played it straight from the playbook – you know, we were all so surprised, who knew he was so unhappy as to take his own life.
This much I know – they knew.
His name will never be mentioned again in Newcastle – like the poor young curate in Birmingham who hinge himself in the wardrobe – Sean was his first name – my God the clergy clammed up about him. Mind you I did wonder if being found hanging in a wardrobe was a signal.
The CTS story about the priest and his housekeeper is hilarious- it read like a slapstick comedy- the bit that offended me most is that lover boy and lover girl wanted to kick out of Mass a parishioner they alleged to be the snitch and threatened her with the police if she didn’t leave. Jesus who do they think they are!!!
You couldn’t make that up – bloody hilarious, like a farce, oh wait, it is a farce.
Makes me think about Mario Conti and Thomas Winning and the rule of the Closet or just the RC clergy: if this is happening in Scotland then it’s sure as hell happening in every diocese in the country (world)!!!!
Those VGs – their main brief is to keep the scandals, the boyfriends, the rent boys, the child abuse on the down low – if they succeed promotion beckons – I’m sure if Richard Walker VG does a good job in Birmingham who knows he might find himself an auxiliary just like his predecessor!!
They have to reward them they know to much!!!
Thing is though they all prop up a system which is corrupt and decaying root and branch – they know it, we know it.
Word from the wise – don’t piss of the clergy and lay people too much otherwise the truth outs and game over baby!!
Hey the RC clergy are like the Taleban. they never change their spots – mayhem and darkness is their creed.

I saw your comment earlier but had no time to reply – I’ve returned to comment on one thing only and it is your use of the Holy Name of Jesus, so casually, as an expletive.
The reason it’s been at the back of my mind all day, and this has been a particularly busy day, is because it reminds me of a conversation I had some years ago with a non-Catholic who said that nothing (he said) is so calculated to make people NOT take the Faith seriously, it’s the way (and I’m quoting him now, speaking in Glasgow) Irish Catholics use the name of Jesus to give vent to their annoyance, anger or whatever else. “And they want us to believe He’s God? Really?” Was the sum and substance of the rest of his remark.
Don’t know what you are taught on the subject in the Emerald Isle, but I was definitely taught that to “take the Lord’s name in vain” is a mortal – deadly – sin. Of course, the idea that anyone could kill the life of grace in his/her soul no matter WHAT they do, is downright hilarious to “Catholics” of a certain type, but, there you go, that’s what me and moi were taught.
Finally, we were taught that we ought to use the Holy Name “sparingly” – which is why, to this day, I try to speak of “Our Lord” where possible. Am I an old fashioned fuddy duddy or what?
You know, this is an issue which – only a few weeks ago – I discussed posting as a blog thread, and I think I’ll do that without further ado – so thank you… er… I think… in a way!

As of August 17th, His Eminence remains in serious, but stable condition. His family, who with a team of doctors, is responsible for all medical decisions while the Cardinal remains sedated and on a medical ventilator, has great confidence in the care he is receiving. The Cardinal has received the Sacraments from priests nearby to him. There are several relics in his room.
While the Cardinal’s family appreciates the good intentions of those who have suggested treatments, consultations, etc., they ask that people refrain from sending anything further. They also ask that you not contact them, members of the Shrine staff, or the Cardinal’s residence in Rome to discuss his condition. Texts, phone calls and emails—while certainly solicitous and often gracious—can, inadvertently, become a burden. The family does not plan to disclose His Eminence’s location to avoid the obvious difficulties that might cause.
To provide a secure source for updates about the Cardinal’s health, the family has asked that the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe—in addition to the Cardinal’s personal media—be the only authorized platforms for accurate, timely information. Other reports may be incomplete or false and so may unnecessarily disturb the minds and hearts of those devoted to His Eminence.
The Cardinal’s family has also requested that only updates of significant changes in His Eminence’s condition be posted on the authorized platforms. In humility, we understand that it is not necessary for us to know every detail of the Cardinal’s treatment. Though his family realizes that the Cardinal “belongs” to the Church, they also ask that we respect his privacy. The period of hospitalization, and for now isolation because of the COVID virus, may be prolonged as His Eminence’s body fights the infection and recovers strength. For the time being, the sedation assists his own peace and rest.
Nothing falls outside of God’s providence. Nothing falls outside the reach of His grace. These are spiritual truths we know and that the Cardinal has taught us by his own example of fidelity in trust and surrender to the Good God. Confidence in these truths opens us to the peace the world cannot give or take. Were he able to speak with us now, he would tell what he has always taught us: that Our Father in Heaven is good, merciful, just, provident and sovereign; that we are His beloved children and that He will never leave us orphans; that we should not be afraid of the Cross as the way to eternal life; that the Sacraments are the most direct channels of grace and that we do the soul the greatest good by receiving Holy Communion often and by going to Confession regularly; that we should say our daily prayers; and that we should love one another as Jesus Christ has loved us: generously, even to the point of heroic sacrifice.
And one more thing so important and so dear to His Eminence: that we should pray the Rosary frequently and fervently, and so place ourselves under the mantle of Our Lady, confident in her maternal love and intercession.
Please continue your prayers for Cardinal Burke and for his family, particularly at the Holy Mass and in the praying of the Rosary. We are filled with gratitude for the abundance of prayers and love for this faithful son and servant of the Church.

No great music or literature was ever composed or written while enjoying the pleasures of a beautiful beach in the sun. Pleasure never brings growth or wisdom. Pleasure is very necessary…. In all it’s forms.
It is in suffering that wisdom grows…..
I do not share their opinions or ecclesiology but Burke and Pell however in error about human relations and dynamics are both good men. They work from convictions, that is honourable. George Pell has suffered and continues to be gracious. Cardinal Burke is for Heaven as well…. but I don’t think his time has come…. he shall recover I pray….. with even more wisdom, hopefully……

Bill you were never for real even if Ms Burke recovers she will take along time to recover.
Our Good and Gracious Lord will take Ms Burke to the gates and ask why did you misinform my People and why have you tried to destroy my Bride the Holy Mother Church.

That’s why a legal statement of truth helps. If untrue you will have committed perjury and very few people would be foolish enough to do that… I am sure Catholic Truth Scotland would cover the modest legal fees if you got in touch with them. I would then submit that to the Congregation for Clergy, Rector of Oscott, Bishop complete tool and the nuncio.

According to Peter Kearney the media spokesman these allegations are baseless. Pat you need to get the names out there for the sake of the people. This is a massive cover up that needs exposed properly not with Xxxs.

Peter Kearney is paid by the Bishop’s Conference of Scotland and is not paid as much as others but Peter would also give a balanced view because His Faith is strong not his salary.
The other Dioceses are not going to pay for a paisley issue.
Bishop Keenan has his own media people.

This is too serious a situation to have false accusations made against people did you google Bishops Conference of Scotland to get Peter Kearney as you are a LIAR Peter has said NOTHING as he has not been asked.
Peter works for the National Church this is a Paisley story so any statements would come from Canon Daniel McLoughlin as he is Paisley Dioceses PR and Media guy.
