More Money than Sense - Wasteful & Self Indulgent Mismanagement of Church Resources donated by Public.says:

Over the years Clericals all over Ireland have shown complete ignorance and disregard by destroying and removing features and items of great historical and sentimental value to local people from their local churches. Much work & items of value were paid for by poor congregations in the past & these people were socially shamed into donating despite priests knowledge of their limited means. It’s not that long since priests were still getting away with reading donation amounts & names of donors from the altar & the fruits of the Labour of local congregations were duly dumped in a skip in more recent years on the whim of of tasteless clergy & their crony appointed advisors & builders.

He wasnt the only Bishop as Magee of Cloyne was the same who almost destroyed Cobh cathedral inner architecture.
*******
What saved us was it was registered in laity Trust instead of registered in rcc name or a trust designed to benefit rcc as a whole.
Same was said in America where Polish community resisted mother Burke to sell it or cash it in which eventually led to excommunication of a Polish priest. That church was registered in laity name as courts in USA decreed it cos of laity monetary contributions over the years.
*****
Otherwise, Magee would have destroyed it with parishioners money with no accountability, no oversight in money, no checks and balances of where the money is going and spent, bishops can spend parishioners money with sheer impunity, disdain for the masses of lay parishioners.
*****
Magee wanted a new 1M Church back 1990s in a parish as I rem as a young little tot. I didn’t understand why parishioners including my relatives fighting at that time until I grew up. Then many years later, I understood re outrageous 1M parish church proposal. It seems to me that rcc bishops love to see 1m Church in style worthy of the high living romanist Constantine time.
*****
We as lay parishioners are technically funding bishops to live in a opulent and luxurious life style in oppostion to jesus message of frugally. When will the rcc laity realise this impunity displayed by many bishops as regards to their handling of laity donations around the world especially BLING, BLING Bishop in Germany and Treanor in Down and Connor.

Red Cliff House at Inch, where disgraced Bishop Eamon Casey famously entertained American Annie Murphy, had been on the market since last year with an original asking price of 1.65 million.
According to the Irish Independent, the seven-bedroom house was the sole property in Kerry to make more than one million Euro in the past 12 weeks, as property prices nationwide continue to soar.
Red Cliff House was once the home of Lord Ventry’s land agents the Hicksons, and was more recently used as a holiday retreat for Bishops in the 1970s and 1980s.
It made headlines in the 1990s when Ms Murphy revealed that her affair with the then Bishop of Galway, Eamon Casey, was partly conducted at the scenic Kerry location.

Thank you for your assessment of my intelligence.

The remnant who stay need not be viewed as stupid NOR too attached.
My elderly parents, family and friends are well aware of the terrible abuses, of all kinds, committed by the RC church. Yes, we stay because we are attached to our RC faith but we CAN distinguish between what is authentic and what is corrupt. In the absence of viable alternatives to the sacramental richness of the RC church, we stay. We’re there viable alternatives many of us would find them – so not too attached.

Like

i . 1.03 I agree with you. Given the ambiguity around teachings on “communion” some of us – including remaining honest suffragan bishops – are still hoping we are not wedding ourselves to the corrupt international hierarchy every time we “go up”. Before “eucharist” was made compulsory, it was left to individuals’ consciences how we interpreted it.
ii . 11.43 in some countries charities regulators permit small donors to specify how their donation is to be spent, e.g (if you have a decent priest) excluding corrupt archbishops’ precepts.

Like

10.12 and 1.03
No viable alternatives? Seriously? To corruption? To the rape of children by priests and bishops, and its cover-up by priests, bishops, and (yes) by popes? To wanton physical, emotional, and spiritual violence against children? To clerics’ driving the young to suicide, or to suicidal ideation? To gross clerical avarice and the financial exploitation of working families? To cronyism? To nepotism? To general worldliness and moral laxity by Catholic clergy?
What the hell is wrong with you people?!
You actually admit that you, and yours, know of the ‘terrible abuses of all kinds’ by Catholic clergy, and yet, astonishingly, you remain a Catholic, not out of loyalty to Christ, but through attachment to your … ‘Catholic faith’? You do know the differnce between God and faith? Faith is not God, and your attachment to it is immature. You have made faith your God.
As for ‘sacramental richness’, what you really mean by this are the little rituals that make you feel comfortable and secure, even piously sentimental. But it is not ‘sacramental richness’ that really matters: it is grace, the opportuniy to participate in the life of God himself. This is available outside those little rituals you value, apparently, over everything else, including God.
I am the poster at 11.43pm, and I repeat what I said there: I have utter disdain for you, and your kind, the Sheep. Not only are you stupid, but you are attached to the wrong things; things not of Christ.
You are also complicit in the swamp of moral corruption the RCC institutionally has become.

Guess I should write ‘the point of view on my work as an author’ though my 2015 book with U. of Notre Dame Press comes close to it, categorizing my different interests (literature, philosophy, patristics, Buddhism) as ‘loci’ within a fundamental theology. You guys (or use the other vowel) make me feel guilty for not bearing the heat of the day with the Irish clergy, but both my clerical friends and my relatives, as well as harried academic colleagues, assure me I am doing best in Japan and that I would not have published six substantial books since 2001 if I were in Cork or in Durham.

My admired friend Paul Taylor spent a few days here in 2008 (can it be so long?) and reflected ruefully that it was the only time he had seen what real courtesy is, especially on his return to ‘the daily spite of this unmannerly town.’ One thing that is a miracle in Japan is the immediate proximity of clean toilets wherever you go (unlike the dreadful situation in Dublin, London, or Paris). Equally available is respect, restraint, discretion, gentleness, good manners, unassuming politeness, gracious bonhomie, and all the other constituents of civility that make life go smoothly.

An iconic story of the real Eamonn Casey; several priests from my class from Kilmore found themselves appointed to Galway after ordination ( Kilmore was awash with clergy). Each of them were/ are very good men. One in particular in Galway was arranging a Confirmation ceremony for a very particular group of people. Casey told Father Martin Gilcreast that this group were not suitable ( not the words used) for such a ceremony. The priest went out of his way to bat for those people. They were confirmed in spite of Casey’s outrageous attitude to people not “ of himself.” Today he would never get away with such an attitude to such a group. The priest was very honourable.

When Bishop Casey’s scandal broke, much was made of the fact that the woman was an American. Even now her US background is mentioned. Is the idea that, like Wallace Simpson, an exotic US temptress led astray a king/bishop and that the local ladies would not have got up to any such thing?

In the AM’s own words; “Maybe he thought, as a result of my father’s letter, he would be meeting someone gaunt and haggard. Instead, there was this relaxed, slim, young lady of 110 pounds in suede high heels and a flattering mauve dress, with small polka dots.”

Surely all these empty & big RCC houses with one priest who spends time at the boiler house anyway could be made available?

David Moore is a good man. He has had his measure of suffering from Clerics. We were never acquaintances nor friends…. but I realise all in the equation. Pat posted here recently that priests are anonymous on this Blog because of “ fear” ( not his word but mine) of the Bishop. That means some of the vindictive ones get to Blog what they bloody well like without censure ? Total imbalance surely. David Moore insofar as I am aware is caring and pastoral in nature. I would guess in line with a recent blog… he would not be good at saying no to what is taxing of his person and energy. That is compliment to him. I would be interested to know the angle of the Ordinaries nose to him. Not a question!!!!

The history DM left is his attack on the clergy that abused victims so his safeguarding will be his good point.
Sadly as everyone knows although he had two Assistants there was bad feeling so it really was a challenge for him.
However because he got heavily involved in Safeguarding it took over.
He should have tackled the far too many parish and some where or are dependant on the second Collection to survive.
At least he is up front before he retires many many other dioceses have far to many parishes but the Bishops do not have the bottle to close them more so those retiring in the next five years.
Rome has said the number of diocese is far too many as well but the Bishop’s seem to be ignoring this.
Sadly we do not need like to see Redundancy however some parishes and dioceses have far too many Lay workers’.
It is a peoples Church so let them come forward and assist THIER Parishes.
Some parishs maybe not be able to reopen as they lack volunteers and okay some parishes can pay professional cleaners but the Income is not there.
So VN retirement will not be happening till the Autumn now and maybe next years as he does not want to leave this situation unsolved.
And the New Archbishop may not be getting two auxiliaries however who knows how Eamon martin got an Auxiliary and he has a big Lay team as well.
