WHY DO SO CALLED CHRISTIANS HATE THE TRUTH SO MUCH?

And Archbishop Diarmud Martin said:

“THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE – EVEN IF THE TRUTH IS REVOLTING”.

For Christians, surely the most important thing is to behave as Christ told us to?

And if He told us that the truth would set us free why are so many of us hiding the truth and engaging in cover up and denial?

Nobody denies that the truth is often tough and harsh and us humans always try and avoid pain.

But often after the truth is out we feel better healed and free.

For years and years I hid my homosexuality and treated it as my big, dark secret.

I was afraid that if people knew the truth about me that they would not like me and would reject me.

But when I spoke publicly about my secret 97% of the people who mattered to me loved me as much as ever and maybe even more.

And on top of that I WAS A FREE MAN.

Secrets keep us in darkness but the truth sets us free.

People sometimes ask me: “Do you have any secrets”.

I reply: “I do, but there’re all over Google”.

THIS BLOG AND TRUTH

Everyday people call me and this blog evil. They call me unkind, unchristian, uncharitable, a people crusher etc etc …..

But everyday on this blog I only say:

1. What is true.

2. What I believe to be true.

And I get an awful lot of information from people – people who have experienced bad things or have bad things happen to them.

And after trying everything and everything everyone else and failed they turn to me and ask me to speak their truth for them.

And that’s what I try to do – and when I get it wrong I acknowledge my mistake and apologise for it.

The Catholic Church and all churches and all organisations including political parties, have a habit of covering things up and hoping they will never be found out.

That has led to so much human suffering and injustice.

So, why don’t we just try more to recognise the truth and speak recognise truth.

It can be uncomfortable.

It can be painful.

It can be embarrassing.

But Jesus said it would set us free.

What’s that old quote:

“Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains”.

Let us break the chains of lies, deceit, cover up and denial – and let us embrace THE TRUTH!

Pat, with all respect for you, the truth is something that matters to the vast majority of us. Absolutely. Yes, truth can be difficult to embrace. As I’ve said many times, only truth will indeed set us free. However, St. Paul advises that we speak THE TRUTH WITH CHARITY…Very sound advice, particularly for a priest or bishop or anyone in ministry in the name of Jesus. Your naming of truth generally lacks Christian charity, as for example, the blog on Christopher Stalford, on Dom Kirby, on Fr. McAlinden…I could name many other targeted individuals. Dont misunderstand me. Individuals and institutions must be made responsible for abuse, corruption and wrongdoing of any kind; individuals have to be made accountable. My question is: does seeking truth and accountability require mockery of any one, as in the sexualising and effeminising of all monks at Silverstream, of Archbishop Martin and of others? Does seeking truth require personalised attacks and abusive, denigratory comments about individuals, as in the case of Fr. McAlinden? Many people need to be challenged about their behaviour, misdeeds, sins, abuses and duplicitous behaviour, clergy particularly. However, Pat, you have, regrettably, written pieces in such a way that they elicit the most unkind, horrible, nasty vitriol and abuse against not just those targeted but against priests in general. In many of the narratives, including your own responses, the language has been merciless, unkind, savage, sneering, condemnatory, language that very deliberately strips people of their humanity and dignity, language that humiliates. I think it’s unforgivable to intrude so blatantly into a familys grief as happened yesterday so soon after a tragedy. That’s unkind and so unsympathetic. It lacks true Christian love and compassion. I’m not asking you to desist from seeking truth but since you’ve written today about the manner of seeking TRUTH, perhaps you might discern a better, more humane, more Christian way of carrying out your work. And please don’t tell me about Jesus and the whip in the temple…Truly well understood.. No Christian pastor in correcting the sinner or wayward person should leave anyone for dead, not in the name of CHRIST. Aren’t you and I to imitate CHRIST in mind and heart? It does work!! I wish you well.

9.47: Hold in Pat: this response is too well rehearsed. Satire, cartooning and sarcasm may be valid but not the extreme ends of such as used by you. This is not good enough reason to engage the language of a bully boy monster. Yes, of course, we have to be tough and sometimes relentless in effecting change, reform and renewal but the heavy boulders of judgment that dissect into pieces, crush and publicly humiliate others has no place in the lives of those who act in the name of CHRIST. Just reflect on yesterday’s gospel. It is not true to say that no amount of “charity” would move “them”.. “Them” being the ones judged unworthy, unacceptable and “filthy” by whom? Pat, you have played your part in identifying much rottenness and corruption and have brought some to their knees in shame and who have changed. However, there is, I believe, a disturbing, cruel nastiness, ugliness and vengeance in too many commenter’s attitude and approach. While condemning the sin we must not spiritually or emotionally kill our targeted person. While we want TRUTH, let us be guided by St. Paul’s dictum – SPEAK THE TRUTH IN CHARITY…Or to even remember and be guided by JESUS’S words…Love your enemy, pray for those who treat you badly, do not curse them..Be you compassionate as your heavenly Father is compassionate. I believe as a priest or as a Christian, these admonitions must be foremost in our correcting of others. If serious criminality is committed the civil courts of law is where judgment is given.

But +Pat being a confirmed atheist doesn’t prevent a person from raising valid questions – questions that you refuse to engage with.

The poster at 11:29 makes some excellent points and posses some excellent questions, all of which you ignore.

You claim cartooning,lampooning etc are excellent weapons against hypocrites in the church. I agree but very often you make or allow comments to be made on the blog that cannot be justified.

A recent example would be the vicious and nasty comment you permitted on the blog two days ago about Eamon Martin. Whatever the man’s qualities as Archbishop ( and you’ve made it abundantly clear what you think and I would agree) you should not permit the vile nasty message, making personal comments about his ‘queeny’ appearance etc.
The whole tone of the message was homophobic and misogynistic and what’s worse is that it contributed absolutely NOTHING to the topic of the blog. In fact it served no other purpose but to be hateful. It’s unchristian and indeed sinful.

Now, Pat let’s hear you defend just that one comment . You won’t. And as MMM says you will ignore the valid question or post a facile remark which basically says I’m right and you just don’t understand.

As a tool for personal and professional development this was absolutely useless because if you were self aware there would be no surprises.
What it did do was reveal the staff who were not self aware, who would often be very upset and again it was useless because they thought people were just being horrible and telling lies.

The point?
