THEY HAVE RUN ROBERT NUGENT OFF THE ROAD 😞

bishopbuckley1@outlook.com 07488 374364

Since I met him I believe that Robert Nugent is a very sincere man.

He has had to abandon his Silverstream campaign for personal reasons – mainly because “THEY” came after his wife and family.

His wife was receiving sinister, silent calls and this completely unnerved her.

Robert is her husband of 22 years and the father of their children.

When your family is being intimidated and frightened you simply cannot ignore it.

I don’t blame Robert for waving the white surrender flag.

The people who went after him are ruthless and dangerous.

They would be quite capable of cutting the brake pipes on his wife’s car.

They would be capable of much worse.

But this shows you the evil and disgusting under belly of the Catholic Institution internationally and in Ireland.

This is simply Satanic and Demonic. No other words for it.

PROFOUND EVIL pretending to BE OF GOD!

So many bishops, priests and fanatical Catholic laity disguise themselves as servants of righteousness.

BUT

Robert has another big problem and I mean no disrespect to Robert’s sincerity.

He has swallowed all THEIR bull shit about magisterium, Canon Law, hierarchy, ontological change etc.

And that’s where they have sincere Catholic like Robert by the short and curries.

They tell them that you can only have access to God and Heaven through US.

They have made themselves, the way, the truth and the life.

Here they have even hijacked Jesus Christ and his message.

The hierarchy and clergy are the SAVIOURS, not Jesus.

At the turn of the 20th century they were selling crucifixes in Rome with the pope on the cross and not Jesus!

What Jesus gave us for free is now being charged for by bishops and priests.

Bishop Pat, things like the canonical sidelining of Dom Anderson and the intimidation of the Nugents convince me that there is much more to the Silverstream matter than meets the eye. The lengths Deenihan has gone to to protect this odd traddie group doesn’t add up, unless there is something else very big at stake.

I remember somebody mentioning to me, over a year ago, that “They seem really tetchy over this, they’re never really get this tetchy.”
And as for the demonic – ‘you’ll know when you see it’. I completely understand. Likewise, for the angelic.
Satan and the demonic are a reality. And it is at times of exposure, getting close to unveiling – even after unveiling – that the demonic manifestations begin in earnest.

Forgive me — I am confused. There have been been both civil and ecclesiastical investigations in relation to all the allegations of impropriety at Silverstream. The monastery and its leadership have been entirely acquitted of any wrongdoing. Why isn’t that the end of the matter? This is a sincere question, asked respectfully; I am open to correction.

Ben at 12:51 — The statement on Silverstream’s website is sleight of hand. I’d not be surprised if Martin Long, the Irish Bishops Conference’s well paid liar, helped them with it. When the Gardai pass your file on to the DPP, it means that the Gardai think you’re guilty. The DPP can turn down the An Garda Siochana’s request for a number of reasons, including the poor health of the defendant, or a judgment that a prosecution is not in the public interest. There was no “acquittal” or “vindication” here, just luck.

Like +Pat I don’t doubt Robert’s sincerity but I do not believe his reasons for giving up the Silverstream cause.
After all his soap boxing and clear declarations that it would be sorted within the week he has come to realise how foolhardy these claims were and he cannot deliver.
Let me be clear, I believe there is something rotten at the core of Silverstream and this blog played a significant roll in exposing that rotten core.
Roberts, heated ‘I am not going to stand for this’ attitude has backfired and made him look slightly ridiculous. It turns out he isn’t going to stand for it and he chucks in the towel as quickly as he picked it up.
My family are being abused comes across as a handy excuse to let himself off the hook. Can’t deliver as promised – use family as an excuse to get off the hook without looking foolish.
I don’t know this for a fact.
If I’m wrong in this – I will apologies to Robert.
It’s not clear from the blog if Robert is going to continue to expose the hypocrisy and clarity and justice in the RCC?
On his YouTube less than a fortnight ago he was castigating Bishops and priests and he claimed that he would be challenging them and if they refused to engage he would be standing at their presbytery doors and their altars forcing them to engage. He was going to root out the duplicity, the drugs, the rape, the hypocrisy and double standard.
Has Robert raised the white flag on these issues to or is it just Silverstream?
If anything good has come of this it is that Dom A has received an apology and Robert has help highlight, through his YouTube channel, the extent of the vile corruption that is the RCC church.
I wish you and your family well, Robert.
Stay safe.

Rotten to the core. Best Wishes to Robert and his Family – we hope that they will be OK & that nothing happens to them “by coincidence” down the line when the Mafia might attempt to make it look like it was unrelated to the truth that Robert has been revealing- either that or they might try to pay him off to restore the silence they seem so desperate to preserve.

@2:26 Honorius I (or others of that time like Liberius) was not a heretic. The Sixth Ecumenical Council ‘In Trullo’ did condemn Honorius as a heretic but Pope St Leo II instead condemned the weakness of Honorius, his excessive efforts at compromise, but did not condemn him as a heretic (see Ott). John XXII is simpler. He offers theories on the Beatific Vision as a theologian (although he was Pope). This was unwise, but the matter was then not defined dogmatically until a bit later. Pope Francis has said a lot of very uncertain things, but TM should avoid becoming one of those social media e-Popes.
It’s a provocation that has to be avoided utterly, even when it seems just.

We cannot deny that Robert is a sincere person. He promised too much with the language of a war chief. He was going after everyone with his “you guys, we’re coming after you..”.

Robert has inspired me by his videos on faith and prayer and I hope he will continue these. Sadly, when you express certain narratives on this blog, some horrible vitriol is tolerated all too frequently. Maybe from here on Pat will discern more wisely and stop printing the uglier, vicious comments which are designed to cause great pain, hurt and fear.

Pat. I must challenge this Sentence that you have written.
“He has swallowed all THEIR bull shit about magisterium, Canon Law, hierarchy, ontological change”
It has taken me years to understand my faith.(and that is still a work in progress I have lots to learn) To understand the Divine institution of the Church and distinguish between the hierarchy of men who govern. I was so disillusioned with the Catholic Church I was either going to become Atheist or REALLY know my faith. I was about to become Orthodox and had gone to Monks on Mt. Athos to get advice. I even met the Orthodox Patriarch in Istanbul, actually, it was meeting him that changed me. A couple of months after meeting him, I saw him again outside Santa Marta in the Vatican (he happened to be in the Vatican when I was there). I have lots of problems believing what the hierarchy say and do how they act. If my faith was in THOSE men, I would NEVER be a Catholic; Many have ZERO passion for the faith, ZERO zeal, many priests have nothing to offer the laity by bland pre-printed homilies and rote masses. Their hands are black with sin, and they hearts have no place for Christ.
But I also see the hidden Christ in many clergy. Yesterday I had confession with a priest in his 80s who was ordained late in life. This man battled himself all his life, and he challenges me and other men to battle ourselves. To KNOW Christ. He isn’t asking me to believe in Christ (no himself)!. He is asking us fallen men to go to Christ, to the Eucharist. He is asking us to use the gifts of the Holy Spirit to strengthen the Church, (the Divine Institution of the Church). To live in a state of grace.
Also if you read authors like Valentin Tomberg correctly, you will end up understanding that the Catholic Church (Divine institution) has the fullness of truth. Has all the ordinary means of salvation. That Christ IS the way, truth and life. and that all those who came before Christ were liars and beggars.
I’ve swallowed the water from John Chapter 4. And I say to you with all my heart. IF YOU KNEW THE GIFT OF GOD!.
I know the cynical follower on this blog and the anonymous keyboard warriors will say I am deluded, mad, putting on a holy front. There is NO priest, bishop, monk in Ireland who has forced me or pushed me to swallow anything. I had to arrive to the truth with my own very long meditation. All I ever wanted to encounter was the Truth. People can believe what they want about me, but if people actually TALKED to me, they might know a different man than the man blogged about.
I don’t get everything right, I let ego, anger, vanity govern my life all too often .I look for confirmation from others. I don’t think I will ever stop confessing the sinner I actually am. but I am a member of the mystical body of Christ. If only those who struggle with their sin and double lives could understand this.
Please, Pat if you love the Church, be gentle sometimes. I don’t ask this to control you or change your blog. I would sit with Christ beside the well for a moment. Have the glass of water he is holding out to you.
Christ is the person who can’t speak in heated conversations; when he hears people angry and throwing insults at each other, he just sits in silence, he can’t speak to anyone or get a word in. It’s only when the arguments stop and we have nothing more to say that Christ starts to talk. I learned all this the hard way. If people could only see how much I ACTUALLY love my faith and the ACTUAL person of Christ that I have found. And I’m not saying to listen to me or follow me. Encounter Christ yourself! Who am I anyway, lots of more experienced and holy people in this Church who would do a far, far better job of preaching Christ’s love.

Thank you Robert.
But where in your understanding is the place for the Jesus of the Temple, whip in hand, consumed with righteous anger?
Where the place for the Jesus who devoured the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and chief priests – the religious hierarchy and clerics of His day.
Of course compassion, love, tenderness, empathy, forgiveness.
But let’s make room for the Warrior Jesus with His love for the “poor” and his anger for the religious hypocrites who walked all over the “poor”.

Jesus was no effeminate pious eunoch

That Christ is there also. and I say to those who are living the double life, the hypocrisy, to the Priests who refused to allow me go to adoration, refused communion to me, and refused to allow me open an adoration chapel. They will face Christ. That whip is coming!.

Pat, Christ comes in mercy first before he comes in Judgement. I’m not a cleric, I don’t have the Authority to use the whip, it hasn’t been given to me. As I said I’m not asking you to change, I can only change one person, myself.

The hypocrisy and double life angers me, the lack of Faith. My mission and the mission other men I know have (laity) is to be radically authentic men of prayer. We commit to a life of grace and prayer. I need to leave the whip to clerics and those who can change, to make the changes needed. Pat if you feel Christ is asking you to use the whip I leave it to you to discern. I know that I’m not called to that.

The “directive causation” agent of course is God, gods, or various similar projections of humankind’s wishful thinking.
On the other hand, there will always be the purveyors of this nonsense. They will range from it’s “devout believers”, invariably indoctrinated individuals, through to its rampant charlatans who capitalise on human frailties for their own benefit.

Parishes are going to have to be closed or amalgamated throughout dioceses in the near future simply because under the present clerical arrangements there are not going to be sufficient priests with the required levels of ability and energy to staff them. Priests are increasingly older and less physically ablel and a huge wave of them is currently retiring or dying. Drastically fewer young men are offering themselves for the priesthood to replace those who are retiring or dying. Who could blame them ? Why would a young man want to become part of such a discredited, dysfunctional and toxic group ? So, radical changes are required, in the short term such as shutting parishes and amalgamating parishes. However, in the medium to long term, even those steps are not going to be adequate or to stabilise the situation. Eventually, the Church is going to have to ask itself how it can survive under the current understanding and application of priestly theology and ministry. And, if it is honest, it will see that it isn’t going to survive and needs to do something about it. Sadly, the current synod meeting in Rome about priesthood just appears to be retrenching back in to a discredited and failed theology of priesthood that has been seen to be unfit for purpose, and worse an occasion of damage to priests themselves and to those to whom they minister, not least the young and vulnerable.

5.38: Robert, since you failed your own test of producing a promised earth shattering Report; having been shunned by Silverstream, forced to apologise for your part in the abuse of Dom Benedict, promoting In Sine Jesu, the Latin Mass – all of which brought unacceptable, horrible vitriol against you, you are now turning your wrath on priests in general and presenting yourself as a spiritual director. (I have a good Jesuit). Perhaps this is God at work through you. I don’t know. I abhor the personalised abuse at you and your family, spewed out by revolting and cowardly bullies. To answer your question re: priests praying breviary and/or Rosary. To be very honest, personally I find the breviary to be a “lonely” prayer experience on my own: I sit with some of its psalms and prayers and allow them to give me God’s comfort. I love the Rosary with a group of people and will often hold a beads for the assurance of our Ladys presence, sometimes praying just one decade. Some of us undoubtedly are “careless” but I wouldn’t dare be so arrogant, proud or presumptuous as to make a judgment about another priest’s prayer or spirituality. We try to encourage one another. Each priest develops a “spirituality” which hopefully nourishes his soul, mind and heart that gives strength and inspiration for his work. I think all priests know that prayer is a daily necessity and try to spend time in prayer. Eucharistic adoration which we have 3 days a week in our Church (9 hours) gives me those moments to be still in the presence of God. I try my best at prayer. I wish I was a person of greater prayer, holiness and grace. I’m not and I am often disillusioned and “lazy” but that’s my business with God in my conscience. It’s not for you to even begin to make a judgment. Sometimes learning “HUMILITY” as a Christian is the best gift we can pray for because it makes each of us aware of our need of God’s grace 24 hours a day. “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” is preferable than the Pharisee’s proclamation, “Lord, look at that man over there; I thank you that I’m not like him. ” Thank you Robert!! For now I prefer the beattitude of Jesus and my Jesuit spiritual director, who as a qualified psychologist, psychoanalyst and trained spiritual director keeps me grounded.

The local day care centre, supported too by parishioners, cared for over 50 elderly or more with meals and other supports. I am aware of similar generosity and caring in many, many parishes. A great deal of parish caring, giving and compassion is carried out without big headlines. All that matters is that we be aware of what we can do both individually and as a community.
