Day: Nov 10, 2021

The least known and least interesting creature among the generally uninteresting Irish Roman Catholic bishops – Francie Duffy – has been made the RC archbishop of Tuam by the RC bishop of Rome.

He is a former teacher and school principal with little or no parish experience.

As a Kilmore priest, he is another protégé of Sean The Wounded Healer Brady.

A safe man – famous for not thinking, not speaking, and not acting.

THREE INDIGNANT IRISH BISHOPS THIS MORNING.

1. FINTONENSIS MONAHANIBUS

Fintan,  the former secretary to Neary, wanted Tuam more than Snowwhite wanted to sleep with Dopey.

I’m told that he is beside himself with anger and actually flung his pectoral cross at his picture of Greasy Franki screaming VAFFANCULO.

In the Vatican’s eyes Fintan has been seriously damaged by letters from Tuam priests saying they would not accept him and by his handling of the case of one of his priests choking the turkey at Salthill and the infamous affair between 23 second Ger and Vonnie.

In the Congregation for the Clergy in Rome they still joke about Fintan’s handling of Vonnie and Ride.

The Vatican is also unimpressed by his friendship with Dick Purcell.

2. KEVINI HOMOPHOBIAENSIS DORENSIS

There was no way Pro Gay Francis was going to promote Doran after he publicly said that being gay was like being Downs Syndrome.

Francis regarded that as an insult to both the Gay and Downs communities.

Doran did say to an Elphin priest yesterday: “On the good side I will avoid all the packing and moving at 68”.

3. BRENDANISIMUS LEAHIENSIS

Leahy is disappointed but not as disappointed as he was when Farrell got Dublin.

And the good thing about Leahy is that he can always take refuge in a good theology book while he is licking his wounds at his cosy home in Stab City.

AND THEN THERE’S RICHARD BENNET GIBBONS

And then there’s poor Richard Bennet Gibbons PP who fancied himself to replace Neary.

But Richard annoyed Francis by fussing over him at Knock.

And Francis is not impressed with priests who wear black water silk fascias with their cassocks. Looks far too ambitious.

But a Cloyne priest says that Gibbons is now hoping to replace Duffy in Ardagh?

In the meantime he has Lola and Millie to comfort him.

COVID PECULIARITIES

“He said: Freely, freely you have received; freely, freely give”.

Currently some bishops, especially in the USA, are thinking of banning pro abortion politicians like Joe Biden, from receiving Holy Communion.

This begs the question: “Do bishops and priests own the Eucharist”?

In other words do these clerics have total authority over who receives the Body and Blood of Jesus?

JESUS BECOMING RRALLY PRESENT IN COMMUNION

We catholics believe that Jesus becomes really present in the Eucharist in the form of bread and wine.

Words like transubstantiation were not used until 1200 years after Jesus gave us the Eucharist.

Transubstantiation is a philosophical term attempting to explain a mystery. Spiritual mysteries cannot full be explained in philosophical jargon.

The Roman Catholic bishops and clergy think that Jesus gave them full authority over all things spiritual when he said to Peter: “What you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven”.

Protestant and other theologians believe that the power of binding was not just given to one man, Peter but the whole church – the People of God.

I agree with the Protestant position.

Only God can truly judge a man or a woman. Only God knows who is “worthy” of Eucharist and who is not.

Eucharist is not a reward for being good or respectable.

It is spiritual food for all – especially for sinners.

So, really the more spiritually hungry or sinful you are the more you need the Eucharist.

ALL KINDS OF EUCHARISTS

Jesus told us that if two or three met in his name he would be with them.

So if two or three meet in Jesus name and break bread and wine with each other in his name then surely Jesus is present with them in that “eucharist”?

I believe he is.

In fact he might be more present with them than in a three hour Mass in the Vatican in the presence of billions of pounds of wealth and antiques and with bishops and priests bonking each other and filling their bank accounts with Peter’s Pence?

They used to talk about Jesus being the “Prisoner of the Tabernacle”.

And the bishops and priests being his jailors.

The RC bishops and priests have hijacked Jesus and his message and turned them into massive inyernational money making casino.

I believe that if Jesus came to earth again he would take his whip into the heart of the Vatican.

And I also believe if he did that the Vatican bishops and clergy would crucify him all over again in St Peters Square.

For they are, truly, the current day Pharisees.
