This Blog was able to definitively confirm yesterday that Fr Martin Mc Alinden died of Gastro Oesophageal cancer and not of the illness speculated on the Blog on the 14th of this month.
The Blog was misled by a clerical colleague of Fr Martin’s and obviously not for good reasons.
A death certificate indicates what cased a person’s death – not all their illnesses
For instance, if I have Parkinsons Disease, high blood pressure bit die of a heart attack my death certificate will say Cardiac arrest.
I know the Blog caused some anger and some upset and we are sorry.
The original Blog has been permanently deleted.
As a sign of our good will in this matter we have made a donation to the hospice which cared For Fr Martin at the end of his life.
This Blog will always withdraw, clarify and apologise for anything it gets wrong.
POPE BENEDICT COVERED UP FOR CLERICAL SEXUAL ABUSERS WHEN HE WAS ARCHBISHOP OF MUNICH.
PAT SAYS
In the past the vast majority of RC bishops would have covered up any abuse or any other matter that they thought would bring their Church into disrepute.
The so called reputation of the Church was Priority Number One.
This led to a lot of pain and suffering especially on the part of various kinds of victims.
It’s now clear that JOSEPH RATZINGER was one of those cover uppers.
Putting the Church first got him ordained, made a bishop an archbishop and a cardinal and eventually pope.
You do not get these positions without selling your soul to the company.
Ratzinger had to resign as pope because of the filth in the Vatican he presided over.
