A THREE MONKEY MAN GETS TUAM.

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.

We just get bland, unremarkable bishops now, who are not known to be saintly, brainy, dynamic or orators. They basically see themselves as upgraded PPs and are not leaders. What is the point of them and why do we have so many of them? The only qualification seems to be years of working at a desk doing a job a lay person should have done.
Has any Irish bishop in the last 20 years said, done or written anything interesting?
Though maybe these humble invisible men are an improvement on the old style bishops such as Casey, Cackle etc who presided over massive abuse, decline, loss of faith and huge social change.

Joe screwed it up closing parishes when Adminstrator in Clogher. The power went to his head. The permanent deacon in Enniskillen is power mad also, a total gobshite.

9.10: At least he expressed good wishes and prayers, which you, Pat, haven’t done. You are so spiritually defunct.

Like

If, as yesterday’s appointment suggests, there is a ‘Cavan mafia’ then the logical consequence of that – and something already widely believed by many priests in Down and Connor – is Michael Router will become the next Bishop of Down and Connor.
By then he’ll be familiar with the Northern social and political system, in particular the education system, and be ready to move to Belfast.
He is already assisting in the pastoral governance of the ever-vacant Dromore which must increase the likelihood of his appointment to Down and Connor.

Does anyone know what happened to Sean Mawn he was or is a priest from Cavan?

Brady has hung into his clerical power like a drowning man clinging to a raft – this much I know when he shuffles of his mortal coil history will make its judgement and history can be a bitch.

Like

I know, they will be preening themselves and thinking that finally they have ‘arrived’. But, who cares ? Does anybody ever refuse to take the canon / monsignor title / status when it is offered ? Probably not. It’s the only way these clergy can feel good about themselves, with clerical gongs. They have lost respect, trust and their integrity when viewed by the rest of the world. They are laughed at, avoided, shunned and viewed as suspicious. They only have themselves to blame. So, I guess we should be kind and allow them a little bit of schmoozing and self-congratulation. Poor, sad things.

Like

Remember, the Johnson Fund is a grant, not a right. It depends on the munificence and generosity of the trustees, and there is no right to it. So, you have to keep in with them, play the game, keep your nose clean. It’s another way of tying priests to the apron strings on the diocese and archbishop. It can refused. It can be taken away. It’s all about control, no matter how they dress it up. It gives some people in the archdiocese a lot of power and influence over the priests.

Like

Ah yeah I don’t begrudge them a little bit of delusional status – as I say it’s like the Mafia isn’t it – the bishop knows he can rely on them to cover up, grass on other clergy, dig the grave of the body they are going to bury knowing that they will be rewarded if not in the next world definitely in this one.
I read once that the chapter is where the grubby little secrets are kept and belonging to a chapter means your a member of an exclusive diocesan club.

Given that you now have to be drawing a pension to attain the title of monsignor or have a high position within the Roman Curia – most dioceses have to use the canon title to recognise ambitious priests.

Yep, I’ve heard quite a few stories of clergy who have fallen foul of the subjective and vindictive decision making of the Johnson Fund.

Surely there should be objective criteria and aims for a body controlling and handing over money like this. Remember, the money comes from the JF collections that are held each year, so they much be under the charity rules and law. Perhaps someone should ask some awkward questions ? + Pat ?

‘Our Church is a place of serious crimes,’ France’s leading prelate says, as bishops adopt reforms
November 10, 2021

” In his closing address at the French bishops’ meeting in Lourdes, Archbishop Eric de Moulins-Beaufort, the president of the episcopal conference, said that “our Church is a place of serious crimes, of frightening attacks on the lives and integrity of children and adults.”
“We must recognize and confess it: we have allowed an ecclesial system to develop which—far from bearing life and opening up to spiritual liberty—damages, crushes, tramples on human beings and their most basic rights,” he added.”

I have always spoken up for Pat Buckley( I do not like his episcopal habit of sundering priests.. but that’s what bishops do ( power)) . My first appointment for a summer was to St. Paul’s on the Falls road. In those six weeks I met quite a few people from the Divis flats… married a few ( in the marriage documents were several death documents concerning the death of former spouses). Those people told me inspiring stories of one Father Buckley who helped greatly when no one else would ( and Sine Fein also was spoken of as a group who helped the forgotten) . It was the summer of two commemorations ; the arrival of the British troops( who used to prop their weapons against the wall of St. Paul’s and go to Mass with their Catholic girlfriends)…. and Internment . Pat Buckley in terms of care and kindness to people in need always has had a sense of Gospel urgency… not common to bishops in the Anglo/ Saxon/ Celtic world. They are usually all words about the poor but do absolutely nothing…. as recently a Minister wrote a letter about the appalling home problem and a Prelate made a reply… as Greta T. would put it about Climate Change; blah…..blah …… blah. I’d love to know how much a Roman Catholic Bishop in Ireland gives to their own Trocaire( big business of course) from their own pockets( I wouldn’t really). Yes , Pat Buckley has always quietly helped those who have needed… and been available to do so. That cannot be taken from him by any Cathal Daly or his ilk.
