The house where Eamon Casey drank a mixture of cognac and milk as foreplay to having sex with Annie Murphy is on the market for 1.6 million.
Annie from the USA was depressed after a divorce and Casey persuaded her father that she come to him in Ireland for healing.
Casey certainly gave Annie the rub of the relic 😉
I shared a N. Ireland TV chat show (Kelly Live) with Annie Murphy and had a long chat with her.
I liked her.
She told me that she woukd have never outed Casey had he not denied their son, Peter.
If you hurt a child you hurt the mother more than if you hurt her directly.
Casey stole £ 70,000 of diocesan money to try and pay them off.
He would have been happy to continue to live his double life.
He was a typical cleric – selfish and narcissistic.
In the end he chose the church over the woman he had impregnated and the child he had fathered.
He was another Michael Rasputin Cleary.
And he also sexually abused his niece 😪

___________ ANCIENT PSALMS OF MAGHULL ___________
* * May the Lord give heed to our prayer : And attend to the sound of our voices. . . * *
LET us oppress the poor righteous man, let us not spare the widow, nor reverence the ancient grey hairs of the aged…
.
Let our strength come from injustice: for that which is pure is nothing of worth to us!
.
Therefore, let us lie in wait for the righteous; because he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to our doings: he upbraideth us with our offending the law, and objecteth to our infamy the transgressings of our education.
.
He professeth to have the knowledge of God: and he calleth himself a child of the Lord… therefore: he is not one of us!
.
He was made to reprove our thoughts and wicked ways : And we are powerless against the justice and power of the of the Good Lord.
.
He is grievous unto us even to behold : For his life is not like ours : His ways are of another fashion… He really believes in the Lord and trusts in the protection of God and his holy angels!
.
We are esteemed of him as counterfeits : He abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness : He pronounceth the end of the just to be blessed, and maketh his boast that God is the defender of the little innocent ones.
.
Let us see if his words be true : And let us prove what shall happen in the end of him.
.
For if the just man be the son of God, he will help him, and deliver him from our wicked, torturous and treacherous hands.
.
Let us examine him with despitefulness and torture, that we may know his meekness, and prove his patience.
.
Let us condemn him with a shameful death : For by his own saying he shall be respected and protected from the corrupt Magistrates.
.
Such things they did imagine, and were deceived : For their own wickedness hath blinded them; they cannot see their own foolishness is abhorrent before the Lord, and the Community…
.
As for the mysteries of God, they knew them not : Neither hoped they for the wages of righteousness, nor discerned a reward for blameless souls…
.
For God created man to be immortal, and made him to be an image of his own eternity.
.
Nevertheless… through envy of the devil came death into the world : And they that do hold of his side do find it.

Leahy was a priest within the Archdiocese of Dublin and is the diocese’s current diocesan censor.
A widely-published author, Leahy has acted as the secretary of the Advisory Committee on Ecumenism of the Irish Bishops’ Conference and is a current member of both the Inter-Church Meeting and of the Three Faiths Forum.
He is a trained barrister and has previously been a member of staff at the Holy Cross Seminary and at the Mater Dei Institute of Education, where he most recently served as registrar. He has also served as previous chaplain in Lusk.

I have spoken well of George Pell in all aspects of the injustice perpetrated against him. He should never have spent a day in prison for what he was falsely accused.
However Archbishop Pell in Melbourne moved to protect the Catholic Church assets, of his singular volition among the bishops of Australia, he put in place what was known as the Melbourne Response. The venture had one end; to protect Church assets. It is now entirely defunct. Compensation was capped from my memory at 50000 dollars if you participated in the scheme.
Eamonn Martin, once again disingenuous and unwise is pursuing his Dromore venture of a redress scheme for exactly the same ends as George Pell did. It has nothing to do with healing but everything to do with protecting the church from the millions in compensation that may ensue if the individuals have the stomached the time to pursue the Diocese of Dromore the courts .

Best thing would be is to contact the police if you are comfortable with it. There is another organisation called SNAP in USA as they are very good in giving advice based on their tons of experience. I know a guy who is a rep in USA as he’s been int8by CNN.

Fifteen seminaries have committed to meeting five sexual misconduct policy benchmarks developed by a group of laypeople, seminary leaders and bishops.
The benchmarks are:
— Systematic training for seminarians, staff and faculty on policies on sexual harassment and reporting procedures.
— Reporting and investigation to include internal procedures and the ability to report issues to an agency outside of the seminary structure and that is independent of the seminary.
— Victim support as the process moves forward to respect confidentiality and guard against retaliation.
— Proactivity in assessing seminary culture to ensure seminarians, staff and faculty understand the existing misconduct policy and to report issues so they can be addressed.
— Consistency and portability of policies so they apply to the different assignments and ministry venues in which a seminarian is working.
Among the seminaries that have committed to the benchmarks are Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit; Mundelein Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois; St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota; Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in St. Louis; and the Pontifical North American College in Vatican City.
The seminary of strange goings-on in 2016 would want to adopt similar policies if they truly want to eradicate the rot.
