PAT SAYS
The EUGENE GREENE abuse case was one of the worst in Ireland.
On the night, he was sentenced, the bishop went to sympathise with the abusers family and ignored the victims and their families.
When Greene was in prison, the Catholic parishioners collected money to build the priest abuser a house for when he got out of prison !!!
It shows what the Irish RCC did and still does.
IS BISHOP MARTIN HAYES STILL MISSING FROM KILMORE DIOCESE?
Above is the picture of MARTIN HAYES THE DISAPPEARED BISHOP OF KILMORE, in Tipperary recently.
Hayes was visiting his home parish in Tipperary.
But is he back in his diocese in Cavan?
Remember:
1. He disappeared suddenly and without explanation.
2. The Kilmore priests were ORDERED not to pray for their ishop purely!!!
3. As a result, rumours became rife as to the abuse of the disappearance – illness, scandal, etc
It is still not known if he is back in Cavan.
Nor is the reason for the curious and swift departure.

When a priest / vicar or bishop disappears it’s usually sex / abuse related. Sadly, usually somebody, usually a vulnerable person, has been grieved and the clerical colleagues are in the background trying to cover up the mess. Again, as so sadly is often the case, there is usually a clueless victim in the background being gaslighted, while being lead up a very sinister “garden path.” Usually, lay-people, as well as clergy, are involved in this toxic and poisonous practice.
Sometimes it can even be an “ecumenical” affair…

Excellent post.
In my experience, lay professionals, including a doctor, as well as a counselor, were involved in assisting or informing the Church on strictly confidential matters. It is long past time for the hierarchy to take responsibility. Stop gaslighting survivors. Safeguarding MUST be completely independent of the Church. Every diocese on the Island of Ireland needs to be independently investigated.

8:34am yes, our parish is a controlling network – priest always in and out of doctors & visibly scanning waiting room to identify patients. Priests and their covert connection to lay professionals, as you have experienced for yourself, are an issue in every Diocese in Ireland – yet another type of clerical interference and downright breach of human rights. Basically you are dealing with a proactive and corrupt Mafia who are constantly on their guard collecting information to use in case they are caught out for their own wrong doing.

The truth about the church hits people gradually and they adjust as they go along. For example Robert Nugent is still at the stage where he wants to purify the church of corruption – I hope he isn’t disappointed when he discovers that without the corruption there is nothing left. You are at the stage where you’re horrified at realising how extensive the mafia is
But I notice you call it our parish. You really don’t need that parish in your life and I think on reflection you will conclude it causes you more distress than helps you.

11:34am. When a cleric is off ill it is either to the St. Luke’s Centre, Manchester; the presbytery; or the hospital.
To disappears all of a sudden without any valid reason is quite different from being off ill; parishioners usaully get unsatisfactory answers upon asking questions. Their colleagues go quiet and say they haven’t seen or heard anything; when genuinely off ill, clerical colleagues will speak more openly without rudely shutting down or changing the subject.
I sincerely hope this answers your question, Father?

You say what I have long believed :
that:
When the inveigling combination of youthful altruism and indoctrinated religiosity wanes, the true abusive nature of the RCC and it’s dubious foundations becomes clearer and eventually erodes many clerics beliefs. Many come to see it for what it is: a massive sham and con. But by then, their financial and economic entrapment imprisons many who descend into the abusive behaviour now so prevalent.
The courageous ones get out.
The weak charlatans hang on.

Irrespective of your certain theories or learning, I don’t consider attending the sick, housebound and the dying as the work of a charlatan: officiating at funerals, some very sad and tragic (suicides/drugs); visiting 4 schools as frequently as is possible; sacramental preparation; organising parish seminars, retreats, missions and overseeing three parishes -you’d want me to believe that this is charlatanism. I find your comment offensive and I’m sure you include Pat’s Oratory in your sweeping judgment. Yet, you use his blog to play your variations on a theme, almost every day.

Good afternoon Bishop Buckley.
I am a concerned mother of an autistic child that was abused verbally by our parish priest on Sunday past after mass.
After mass, father approached me and give me a nasty telling off at the noise my son was making.
Granted, he was noisy but as a child of god he should be welcome into the church; but also given the fact he has autism and cannot comprehend his own behaviour it makes the priests behaviour even more appalling.
I was very shaken up by this and fellow parishioners told me of the same happening to them and advised me to write to the bishop.
I have done so but they tell me not to expect anything substantial to happen to him. While speaking with a friend today they told me about your blog highlighting likewise concerns and hope you could help me end this mans behaviour.
