THE REPORT THAT THE BISHOP OF CLOYNE DOES NOT WANT PEOPLE TO SEE.

PAT SAYS

The life and death of Father Lomasney was sad.

I hope he is now finding the happiness that eluded him for so long.

He obviously had a major struggle with alcohol for many years.

His actions on the altar in Kildorery also show that he had a major struggle with sexuality too – something that was probably made worse by his drinking.

Heavy drinking and immune illnesses make people more vulnerable to bronchopneumonia

He died in the Parochial House in Doneraile where he was staying with the PP, Fr Crowley.

CREAN:

The bishop, Crean, has trying to deflect from the whole situation by pretending the altar pictures were photoshopped.

They were not!

And apparently he never even went to Kildorrery to reconsecrate the altar and church.

THE KILDARE GAY SATANIC SET

There is an increasing concern that Michael Lomasney was involved with the Kildare gay Satanic set where a younger man is called the “Agnus Dei” (Lamb of God) and forced to drink bodily fluids from chalices 😱

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CATHOLIC AND ROMAN CATHOLIC.

By ~ Fr Evans Ishiekwene

Roman Catholic is a term sometimes used to differentiate members of the Catholic Church in full communion with the pope in Rome from other Christians who also self-identify as “Catholic”. It is also sometimes used to differentiate adherents to the Latin Church and its Roman rite from other Catholics, i.e. adherents of the Eastern Catholic Churches of various Eastern rites. It is not the official name preferred by the Holy See or bishops in full communion with the pope as a designation for their faith or institution.

Someone can be “CATHOLIC” but Non “Roman Catholic”

One of the Four Marks of the Church set out in the Nicene Creed, a statement of belief widely accepted across Christian denominations. Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and Oriental Orthodox consider the term to refer to a single institutional one true church, “CATHOLIC”
      
    While Protestant ecclesiology considers it in reference as the “UNIVERSAL” Christian Church. Following the term “papist”, attested in English since 1534, the terms “Popish Catholic” and “Romish Catholic” came into use during the Protestant Reformation. From the 17th century.

Being a Roman Catholic does not signify other independent Catholics as non void CATHOLIC, Because the Church Remains Universal. Practicing the Ancient CATHOLIC Doctrines in adherents to the teachings of the Apostles and their successions given directly From Jesus Christ Himself Validly to His Apostles transmitted down to the Bishops, Which indicates the authenticity of the Church as “CATHOLIC”  but Non Roman Juridictions

Formulations such as the “Holy Roman Catholic Church” have occurred by officials of the Catholic Church before and after the Reformation. It has also occurred in the context of ecumenical dialogue with dialogue partners preferring this usage with other independent juridictions,  as “CATHOLIC” was in communication with the Armenian and Eastern Catholic Churches. Some years after the East–West Schism.

However, the last official  magisterium document to use “Roman Catholic Church” was issued by Pope Pius XII in 1950.

Christ is the Church, and the Church is One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, (UNIVERSAL).

Pat, I do not believe you should have printed the information re: Fr. Lomansey. Irrespective of moral and spiritual issues which had been discussed on your blog before and after his death, surely in death his family should be respected. Their awareness of this report must hurt and grieve them painfully. The printing of a person’s medical history should only be done with family permission. If anyone really wanted to know the report , let that be done privately. I was brought up to honour the dead. I still abide by that. Only for those concerned should a report be made available. The Bishop by his ministry has to care for and respect Fr. Lomansey’s family. Did you expect that he post a copy to everyone in his Diocese? I pray that this priest experiences God’s mercy because he was denied that by many on this blog. Yes, his crime was awful but the rest of his personal illness history is not yours to play with. I am disappointed that this priest is still being discussed on your blog.

I seem to have got a flurry of responses.
In short, people make assumptions about homosexual’s wishes about relationships. Perhaps I make assumptions in the opposite direction. But it is reasonable to consider the following. If homosexuals grew up in a world where there were not forced to accept a level of shame being attached to their sexuality, would they be able to live with a healthier sense of relationship from the get go?
With regards to making excuses for any one individual, I didn’t but perhaps Ger would have entered a healthier relationship with Yvonne if he were not compromised by a vow of celibacy which isn’t required by other priests in communion with Rome? Yes 12.05, you have been FACT-checked and found wanting. Look beyond Ireland if you can manage it. Also, it sounds like jealousy when you discuss shopping habits. Personally I shop based on what vouchers I get. I had a 20 off voucher for buying 75 in Tesco this week. Last week I had my club card vouchers from another shop. Things are tight at the moment. I didn’t need 75 worth this week, but Tesco is handy for stocking up on cleaning items and Tesco bloo blocks for the toilet.
Its a bit of a leap to say I am justifying a want in a car though. That’s just messed up behaviour altogether. Everybody knows to only wank in bedrooms and bathrooms (preferably your own).

As you have stated yourself in your last phrase, what some people may consider religion or faith encompasses far more than Rome, which was exactly the same point in the discussion. If we should wish our faith or religion or belief to have an organisational angle at all, we have the absolute right to discern that organisation and remain autonomous from it. While conversations with you have not yet degenerated in the stereotyped direction of Magnum Carter’s, your imagination and observation must have shown you that some commenters wish to say things that are outside the box. Your comments can rightly be directed at specific replies preceding, but not extended to people you don’t know; and yes you have sometimes received partial explanations (which don’t bind you) regarding religions to some of your questions (and probably most of us aren’t continuous blog watchers).

All Bishops (and people – irrespective of denomination, colour, creed or religion ) have a duty of responsibility (or love and care…). Sadly, again; this is not the case: save for Bishop Pat.
It is very really possible you may have saved a lot of heartache and that kind of thing. A very responsible blog, as always! Possibly more than we will ever know… x
God bless you, Bishop Pat x

Nearly puked about the D’Arcy me me me programme on RTE. Why does the State broadcaster give time to this fool and I hear the BBC have him on the wireless. The biggest fraud and conman going. He camecout with many lies including the one were he wasn’t in Mt St Argus for 30yrs.

We have a situation here where priests who know they are HIV + having unprotected sex with seminarians and other priests/ lay people in one to one and group sexual encounters ( we have discussed the group encounters here) and to some it is not an issue. This goes very deep indeed.

I thought I had a vocation, met with the vocations director a few times, realised it was all a farce. I will find my real vocation, it sadly wont be a priest in the roman catholic church. The Roman Catholic Chruch are disturbing the real message of Jesus.

Just saw the RTE programme on D’Arcy. Pass the sick bucket. He claims the Fr Ted programme was based on him ffs. I am afraid Cahal B didn’t come across very well. I think D’arcy misled people by not admitting he went to apologise to Cahal in Armagh.

8.46: If men want to play around in a sexually irresponsibly way, which this priest sadly did, as did other men with him – all giving and receiving illnesses and viruses to one another, that’s not the fault of anyone else but those involved. When Bishops have preached moral responsibility in all things – sexuality included – you’ll scoff at them and label them as dinosaurs. Now, you want the bishop to tell all who may have had contact with Fr. Lomansey about their potential of being HIV? Are you for real? Men who consensually engage in sexual intimacy in an irresponsible way and who, sadly, may become ill, have only themselves to blame. Let’s put the responsibility where it belongs: in those who are irresponsible in their sexual intimacies!! Many men have discovered their HIV status and own their own responsibility for what happened The world of gay sex can be very reckless. The Bishop of Larne knows this as do many, many others. All of us who engage in intimate sex must be vigilant, honest and take personal responsibility for any negative consequences. And – we must be compassionate and caring towards those who need support. Your attack on Bishop Crean is absurd and unjust. You are shifting blame….as usual.

Whats going on ? It would appear the church has allowed mind games to go on for years and in the do nothing real to address it all in the name of self preservation. As for the drrrink it is a curse of the preaching classes
