LETTER TO EAMON MARTIN
Dear Eamon,
I know that this letter to you will not get you to act in the case of Ryan McAleer. From that perspective, as more and more people are coming to realise, writing to you is a waste of time.
"ag caint leis an gcapall agus an capall ina chodladh". Talking to the horse and the horse asleep.
So, I am writing this letter to you for three reasons:
1. So that victims can feel that someone cares about their sufferings.
2. So that this matter may be put on public record.
3. So that the Armagh priests who are disturbed about this matter and who have been in touch with me will know that the matter has been put to you both directly and publicly.
Some questions:
A. Is it true that several young men have been in touch with you after having had unwanted and unwelcome encounters with Ryan McAleer?
B. Is it true that you have been told about and shown material showing that Ryan McAleer was / is using the Grindr App?
C. Is it true that Ryan McAleer was placed “on leave” and told to abstain from ministry in the diocese?
D. Is it true that you have received various reports over a number of years regarding Ryan McAleer’s lifestyle in Dungannon and beyond?
These matters are very serious and require strong and decisive action on your part.
But over the years, you have shown no real interest in acting on such matters and indeed have given the strong impression that you have a “soft spot” for such priests.
What lies behind that lack of interest is a Freudian conundrum.
Please do not reply by telling me to report any crimes committed to the PSNI. I know that and have been acting accordingly for many years.
I do not need any reply from you as such a reply, I believe, would be meaningless and useless.
Just do your job. Control your priests. Care for their victims.
Your brother bishop,
+ Pat Buckley

You are such a nasty and vindictive individual. You denigrate people by feminising their names and abusing them on this putrid blog then expect them to respond to you or even take you seriously? Your “free speech” policy is a farce- as evidenced by the fact that you will not print this…but you will read it…and at some level in empty, nasty existence, there has to be at least a shred of a conscience still existing- perhaps in some little hidden place where the darkness has not completely obliterated everything in your soul. But that’s perhaps too much to hope for.

With due respect +Pat, while I don’t agree with the tone of Sad’s comment, nevertheless a valid point is being made. Is it reasonable for you to expect to be taken seriously by the RCC hierarchy when you lower yourself to using feminising nicknames?
This practice, seen by many as denigrating the hierarchy, has been put to you many times before. Your explanatory excuse of it being common clerical practice is superficial and naive, and fails to acknowledge a female perspective on the practice.
Your hard hitting and well articulated objective revelations sufficiently show the hierarchy’s failings without the need to personally engage in this practice, and by doing so, encourage its use and even worse disrespect on the blog.

Dad’s comment is written in church speak and some readers may require a translation.
‘nasty and vindictive’ means ‘you have exposed us in our usual duplicity so we’ll make out you’re bad because that’s what abusers do’.
‘putrid blog’ means ‘I wish I didn’t feel I have to check every day whether my own deeds have caught up with me’.
‘evidenced by the fact’ (which hadn’t happened at the time of writing) means ‘I have no idea of how any concept of evidence works but then I believe a virgin conceived through her ear by an angel so you wouldn’t expect me to’.
‘where the darkness has not obliterated everything in your soul’ means ‘look at me, how holy I am, not like you’.

Dean at 11:06 Clergy have to have parties reserved for themselves with no laity. It’s not necessarily for sex, it’s more because the clergy need a safe place where they won’t have anyone calling them out on how ridiculous they are. We’ve seen how well they cope with meeting normal people who aren’t subservient, by their hysterical ranting on here that they’re not being given enough respect.
Plus given the conservative leanings of younger clergy they don’t like people knowing how obsessed they are with tat.

I can reinforce the accusations towards Father Ryan McAleer in this forum. I have seen McAleer and posse of paedos masquerading as priests prey on the vulnerable people of our community.

Good morning Pat. As a native from the area I would like to say that I hope you don’t get involved in character assassinating a good honest man.
I have had the privilege of meeting Fr McAleer and working closely beside him on many an occasion. He is humble and dedicated to his vocation.
I also work very closely with a lot of clergy, not only in that area but across NI and I have found them all good men.
I am aware that is my own personal findings however and it’s impossible that they all are good.
I have been made aware once of a popular Belfast priest who was noted to be on Grindr, I did raise issues with Eugene OHagan in the Bishops office about this but they found no evidence of such.

I would like to wish William Mulvihill a good day. His contributions are intelligent, honest and insightful and he deserves our respect. He is one of the few people brave enough to use his real name on this blog and he is frequently attacked by those who are unfit to wipe his shoes in my opinion. It is a sad but true reflection of what a toxic and dangerous organisation the clergy that come on here are part of when so many are intimidated from using their true identities. Not one priest or Bishop or member of church laity use their real identity on here particularly noting the nasty, venemous tones used by them revealing their bias in favour of whatever goes in their toxic and corrupt dens of inequity. They check this blog frequently throughout the day to try and shout down and silence the truth about themselves and their lay & ordained colleagues. Surely that time would be better spent getting their outstanding business with victims of church related abuse of all kinds resolved. But, of course, we know the answer to that, they have no interest or motivation to help victims or survivors of church related abuse because so much of their wealth has been built on the back of those very victims. Shame on them. If good people like Bill Mulvihill and Pat Buckley were treated fairly by Catholic Church, perhaps it would not be on the free fall that now exists.

11.04: Would you allow Bishop Pat “re baptise” your children? He’s in a gay relationship. Anyway, once baptised always baptised. If your son is in a gay relationship and hangs out openly with other gay men, will you allow him to be in contact with your other children or his nieces and nephews? Your implied judgment about “gay priests” can be made also of your (gay) son. What a horrid person you are! Or what if your husband goes roving with gay men as happens frequently? What ignominy will he have to suffer?

You are spot on Pat. If there are any men out there reading this thinking they have met a man on Grindr and they are or will be happy together you are deluded. You will never trust a bf met on Grindr. The longer a man has been on Grindr tends to mean he has built up sex ‘mates’ also and they will be too hard to give up. Soon he will be having mates staying for the weekend ‘catching up’ or his other mate has had a fall out with a partner and needs somewhere for the night to ‘sleep’

12:19 is another interesting comment written in church speak. Translation into English:
‘FFS we don’t want Pat Buckley interfering in our pleasant sex lives, but we don’t have a leg to stand on. Also we’re accustomed to people kowtowing to us and have to use the only weapon we have, which is to take the high moral ground and try to divert to a tragedy, thereby implying that Pat Buckley is the one in the wrong and has his priorities wrong.’

Saying Grindr is (simply) a ‘chat network for gay men’ is like saying that a gay sauna is (simply) a meeting place for exfoliating and perspiration or Hampstead Heath is a park where gay men can enjoy nature and the outdoors.
Grindr is an electronic cruising platform for predominantly gay men – among their tribe are sexual predators and child abusers.
I repeat clergy who are members and are by definition celibate (renounced an active sexual relationship) should be instantly dismissed because Grindr is a platform for casual gay sex.
Now what’s that you were saying about me being a fool and how are you shaping up in the fool department?

Pat, what is police clearance?
LikeLike
There are three levels of clearance: basic, standard advanced. The advanced one I have applied lists all convictions. What people working with children and vulnerable adults want to be assured of is that you have no history that would endanger children or vulnerable adults.i have received such clearance before.

2.57: Pat, I make the point that if any child, teenager or vulnerable or older adult was to find your blog and read it – which is a distinct possibility – and saw all sexually referenced comments, some of which are quite specific, vulgar and abusive, could this constitute a moral endangerment to children and others? Or if gay magazines or videos or paraphernalia of any such nature be displayed, this too would pose safeguarding issues. My honest belief, after hearing of some anomalies and potential risks to refugees, is that all children and parents must and should be hoysed together in already existing family settings. Individual adults can be welcomed by others, but for children and parents – only a stable family setting and vetting is essential.
LikeLike
Your comment is prejudicial and homophobic, I fear.
Most sexual abuse happens in straight homes.
Many couples have sex magazines and sex toys.
In many ways, children could be in more danger with a daddy or uncle in a straight home.
LikeLike
The majority of clerical child abusers – of which there are tens of thousands and millions throughout human history prefer boys (corrupter of boys) than girls and therefore gay clergy pose an existential threat and real danger to children.
Matthew Jolly is a classic example – he was on Grindr because he wanted sex with a man, he was flirting with the undercover policeman and on learning he had a child (fictitious) he then focused his attention on the child.
Grindr is a den of iniquity- a cleric who visits is either a homosexual, bisexual or (as is sometimes the case) a paedophile.

Be careful, anyone dating. I had 3 dates with a priest before he had the balls to tell me his profession. I was horrified and said I would report him and he got 3 men to come to my place of work and threaten me. He is still in service and what people need to remember is that they can be well connected as they bury gangsters parents and marry hooligans and so they are well thought of by these ghastly people.

There is a Dominican on the Armagh council of priests: maynooth reject. He came to attention while in cork. He was hearing confession in a secondary school, and asked the teenager boys about their mastrbation habits. A number of them complained to their teachers, who in turn complained to his superior. He was moved, and now resides within the Armagh diocese.

People are wakening up to their disgusting evil deeds. If only brainwashed catholics knew what is really going on instead of turning a blind eye makes them just as complicit in this. They should be ashamed of themselves.
