The PP of Coleraine (recently moved into Ardmore, is angry that his parishioners went over his head to the bishop.
“BE ON YOUR GUARD – I KNOW WHO YOU ARE” !
Here he speaks about it at Mass in Coleraine:
Fe / Dr McGrory the spoke about his authority being challenged by some parishioners.
Its interesting that some priests are still speaking about their authority.
In my opinion, the RCC and its bishops and priests have no authority at all anymore – except over those foolish people who want them to have authority over them ie: the masochists who want to be under the authority of the sadists 😄
Its not like the old times in Ireland when the PP went beating courting couples out of hedges with their blackthorn stick.
Maybe the kind parishioners of Ardmore will purchase a blackthorn for their new PP?

You might remember that I emailed you two weeks ago regarding Fr. Mcgrory who has become PP here in Ardmore. He’s only been here a few days and has gone down like a lead balloon. I enclose a link to a YouTube video of a recent Mass in Coleraine. I found a short section of his sermon, 10 minutes into the clip, a bit disturbing. I’d appreciate your thoughts about this.

Dear Bishop Pat,
I follow your blog with interest and agree with much of your efforts to expose the shadows of the RC Church in Ireland today. However I know Bishop Nulty personally and believe him to be one of the few men of integrity in the Irish Bishop’s Conference. He was a former diocesan colleague of Dermot Farrell and I doubt he harbours any jealousy toward him or his appointment as you allege. Having personal integrity and decency Bishop Denis would have no occasion to harbour such pejorative sentiment towards Dermot Farrell. Please afford some balance to decent men who try their best, as I believe they are few and far between.

I doubt very much that Denis resented Dermot’s elevation. They are two very different people each with a lot to give, each making a significant contribution to the church and the gospel in Ireland. Very few would have considered Denis in Maynooth as ever leading a diocese. He was a very pleasant seminarian. Dermot has a tough side to him which has served to do much good. Rome must value Denis. He’s leading two diocese. While Dermot is absolutely the right choice for Dublin, Let’s face it, Dublin and Armagh are high profile appointments, in that order. Tuam or Cashel are just like the rest of Irish dioceses. And Denis would be fine in any other diocese.

Canon Law states pastoral Councils have to be formed in every parish and dioceses and they will see to the building works and the running of the parish finances sadly this priest is stuck in the 90’s ME ME ME.

Pat, like yourself, all who present as shepherds, Christian Leaders and priests, have little relevance for 21st century Ireland. Many of us individually may make a difference in the lives of others by our kindness in ministry but we know life has irrevocably changed. You know that as much as any of us. What “authority” have you andbwhat dies it mean to you? I never thought of authority as an attitude or attribute I required to live out ministerial priesthood. Never. Having reflected much over the years I understand that the only “authorityy” is that of total service – almost impossible – in imitation of Christ. A daily task and decision. It is very unfair and offensive of you to speak of genuine Church goers as follish and being like masochists under the rule of racists. Your mixed up images may be more reflective of your life than most priests I know. And certainly the 1000 or more who come to weekend masses in our Parish are far from being the type you describe. For me they are “..the SALT of the earth..”, the ones who in the Beatitudes imagery are truly blessed and who bless us by their prayer and Christian living. I’m saddened that you find it necessary to sneer at and mock the good, faithful people of God. Thankfully, the masochists and sadists have vanished from our congregations and gone to fringe, looney outfits!!! Even.then they wreak havoc..

If you view authority as giving you a power to lord it over others and teach that your view alone is what matters, then that kind of authority is out. An authority of domination, of dictat, of ignoring everyone, of lecturing, of bullying and not ever truly listening is completely unjustified. The only authority given is the authority of love as lived by Jesus. However, in an administrative role a priest must ensure that all is going well according to the various guidelines, protocols and procedures which each Diocese implements. These are essentials and the administrator has the “authority” to ensure the correct implementation of all necessary policies and guudelines. But in our interaction with people the only authority is that of love, caring and kindness, all founded on, in and through Christ. Christ alone is the foundation. Sadly, our moral integrity and reputation is almost non existent for obvious reasons – all issues re: sexual child abuse, treatment of gay people and LGBTQ issues. The cover up by Church authorities has shredded our moral voices. Now, in parishes, priests focus in ministry which enriches the life of the community and in a strange way, this is where we are trusted and affirmed in lovely ways. Within the parish setting, unless you are a non interactive and aloof, people support, encourage, trust and affirm our ministry. But for the bigger picture…..not so, sadly.

For all the Roman church has major issues, it’s clear that the rad trads have gone into unofficial schism and formed alliances with SSPX.

Voris is driven by an authentic zeal to expose and challenge the wrongdoing in the American church. Unfortunately, his message is lost, as he is completely obsessed with the ex-Cardinal McCarrick. He is, however, right, that much of the American episcopate is made in the image and likeness of McCarrick, and that is a dreadful reality. Additionally, he displays a McCarthyite obsession about the relationship of the church and China. He also gives credence to anti-vaccination theories that are just nuts. And, that is why at times it is difficult to take him seriously, but in some ways his prophetic but flawed like the rest of us.

If the Church wasn’t in such a mess there would no need for men like Michael Voris and Pat Buckley.
Pope Francis seems to be just making things worse. Has there ever been a more confused and confusing Pope?

Their ” Prayer Egos” are mudding the waters further as they extend invitations to Irish and U.K Governments now( as reported in media today). The last sentence of the Ferriter article is a synopsis of the matter for the church leaders. In the guise of prayer their leadership has let everyone down….they can still row back…..but church leaders seldom do that…why? They play the God card for their own ego ends.

If they want to pray for their country/ies they should leave everyone else be, who can actually do the same unostentatiously at home if they feel like it (that’s what agnostic means).
