Cornwell said that in his view, the real “bombshell” to emerge from Kertzer’s essay is not regarding Pius XII’s negotiations with Hitler, but instead Kertzer’s uncovering of documentation that the Vatican ordered the burning of files regarding German priests who had abused children — an issue von Hessen raised during one of his visits to the Vatican.

“It is now clear that the Secretariat of State, then under Cardinal Pacelli’s direction, had indeed taken immediate action,” writes Kertzer. “A folder in the Secretariat’s files from the previous year is labeled ‘Vienna: Order to burn all archival material concerning cases of immorality of monks and priests.’ ” 

ROME — New research from the Vatican archives appears to show evidence of previously unknown backchannel negotiations between Pope Pius XII and Adolf Hitler during the Second World War, although some historians cautioned that the findings do not represent a “paradigm shift” in understanding the Catholic Church’s wartime actions.

“No new finding has been as dramatic as the discovery that, shortly after he became pope, Pius XII entered into secret negotiations with Hitler, a story told here for the first time,” writes Brown University historian David Kertzer in a recently published essay in The Atlantic, adapted from his new book, The Pope at War.

The article chronicles a series of meetings between Pope Pius XII (formerly Italian Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli) and Hitler’s emissary, German Prince Philipp von Hessen, newly discovered after the 2020 opening of the Vatican’s Pius XII archives.

Kertzer, the author of several best-selling books on the Vatican, has uncovered transcripts of meetings between the two men, which include a series of cordial greetings between Hitler and Pius XII.

PAT SAYS

Pope Pius XII, like all RC hierarchs and clerics, was willing to sacrifice ordinary Catholics, and victims, to protect disgusting and lecherous priests and monks.

The protection of the so called good name of the RCC, and bishops and priests, has always been more important than non clerical, totally dispensable.

Catholic laity are simply clerical fodder.

The while ROMAN CATHOLIC INSTITUTION is an evil and not of Christ phenomenon.

In fact, at this stage, I think I have to say that it is more true to say that many popes were the vicars of Satan rather than the vicars of Christ!

Thank God, I only wasted the first 33 years of my life on the RCC.

And thank God, at the age of 33, through the machinations of the RCC hierarchs, I had a road to Damascus liberation from the RCC and for the first time in my life experienced what it was really like to have freedom of the sons and daughters of God.

ROME is the new Babylon for the People of God.

And I’m so glad to be in Larne instead of Babylon 😀

Dear Brother Elijah,

My blog post about my brother bishop Bishop Deenihan selling off some of the lands of the Diocese of Meath was the catalyst for a number of people to contact me about the fundraising efforts by Silverstream Priory. And they included a copy of the latest Newsletter from the Priory. It is such an interesting newsletter that I feel compelled to e-mail you with a number of questions that arose from a forensic reading of the Newsletter.

Having played a modest part in establishing the notoriety and unseemliness of Silverstream Priory, I offer my congratulations on the tenth anniversary of the arrival of the two founders of Silverstream Priory in Ireland, Dom Mark Kirby and the then Br Benedict Andersen. You also highlight this year is also the fifth anniversary of the canonical foundation of Silverstream. Do you know if Bishop Tom curses every day the decision-making of Bishop Smith with respect to Silverstream Priory or does he offer a Te Deum in thanksgiving?

In the photograph of the community embedded in the newsletter I am sure that eagle-eyed readers of my blog will note the absence of the original founders of the Priory: Dom Mark Kirby and Dom Benedict Andersen. It is hardly a glowing endorsement of the Priory that the two founders are not resident at the scandal-ridden Priory.

I am not surprised that the newsletter does not draw attention to the scandalous misconduct of Dom Kirby.

Of course, it would not be good for fundraising if the newsletter highlighted the on-going mistreatment of Dom Andersen by the community for calling out the misconduct of Dom Kirby. But this does not come as a surprise because the institutional Church has always taken a dim view of whistle-blowers. A more honest approach would have been to invite readers of the Silverstream Newsletter to read The Pillar article about Andersen. Would you care to refresh your memory about Dom Andersen by reading the article? If so, I enclose the link for your convenience.

Where is Dom Mark Kirby? Has he taken an authorised leave of absence from his foundation (because it was his vanity project), Silverstream Priory? Is the more pertinent question: had Dom Kirby become a source of scandal and an obstacle to your ambitions?

Where is Dom Kirby currently located? Is he resident in the Diocese of Meath? If not, where is he located? And is Dom Kirby resident in that location with the written permission of his Ordinary, Bishop Thomas Deenihan and with the consent of the local Ordinary of that location? Is Dom Kirby in receipt of a financial sustenance from Silverstream Priory? Is it true that when Dom Kirby left Silverstream Priory, two novices left with him? Are they deemed to have departed from the Priory or are Kirby’s helpers/chicks undertaking their canonical novitiate outside the Priory? Is there an anticipated date when the two novices will return to the Priory in order to make their profession of simple vows?

Why are members of the monastic community now lying to visitors about Dom Kirby? You would accept I trust that the deceit/dissimulation of members of the monastic community to people that enquire about Dom Kirby displays an institutional lack of honesty and transparency that is scandalous.

Where is Dom Benedict Andersen? Is he still in the United States? Is Dom Andersen in receipt of a financial sustenance from Silverstream Priory? Will Dom Andersen be returning to the Priory at any stage in the not-so-distant future? That is a legitimate question, because to the best of my knowledge and information the only priest within the community at the moment is Dom Hildebrand Houser? Is that correct?

Have you completed your studies for the priesthood? I know you were having lots of difficulties with the studies. Has my brother bishop, Tom Deenihan made any noises about ordaining you a deacon?

If so, have you assured him that your addiction to gay pornography is under control?

Would it be inappropriate of me to ask you have you received therapy for this addiction? It is, however, a legitimate question if you are going to be advanced to the clerical state in light of the scandals that has befallen the Church in Ireland over the past three decades. How do I know about your gay porn addiction? Because of the indiscretions of Dom Mark Kirby who was very indiscreet about the internal problems of the community to guests. And, the worst gossips are clerics and they are more than happy to get on the phone and share with the Bishop of Larne! Amen.

I do admire the entrepreneurialism of Silverstream Priory in having its own “publishing enterprise”. I note it has published a book on the life of a Benedictine nun and it is promising “more new releases over the coming months”.

Will “The Cenacle Press”, be publishing an updated version of In Sinu Jesu, containing more “revelations” from Dom Kirby? Will the updated version have a pious introduction from Bishop Deenihan? Readers of my blog are particularly keen to read the latest revelations from Dom Kirby so they can be edified and encouraged in their own spiritual struggles.

It is ironic that you highlight St Pope Paul VI in the Newsletter and his observations on the establishment of a new monastic foundation. If Bishop Deenihan renders a Decree ordering Silverstream Priory to celebrate the Divine Office in English and for the Eucharist to be celebrated in English utilising the New Rite (Mass of Paul VI/ Nova Ordo) will the community promptly and obediently comply with the Decree? Will Dom Hildebrand Houser find it within his heart to celebrate the New Rite in obedience to his Ordinary?

With prayerful best wishes,

+Pat Buckley

Dear Bishop Tom,

Recently, I visited the church of my baptism in Tullamore. It was good to be back in my home turf. I am, of course, aware that Tullamore is canonically within the Diocese of Meath. And, I am further aware that some of your priests (but not all) are very happy to extend a cordial welcome to the Ordinary of Larne when I visit the area entrusted to your pastoral governance.

By virtue of my baptism, I am intrinsically and ontologically connected to the Diocese of Meath, so I was very concerned to read that you are selling some the diocese estate. Like many Irish bishops I appreciate that you are facing tough decisions in order to balance the books. However, I do wonder are you making the right choice?

Is the selling of the land the worst form of short-termism? Would you, my brother Bishop Tom, be better to adopt a wait-and-see approach? After all, the finances of the diocese might experience an upturn, although, I accept that is unlikely! However, do you not think adopting a wait-and-see approach might be more prudent approach? Are you being advised by people that have the best interests of the diocese at heart?

In order to be helpful, I am going to make a suggestion that I respectfully suggest you should carefully consider.

You could render a Decree ordering the monks of Silverstream Priory to celebrate the Divine Office in English, i.e., prohibiting the use of Latin in all liturgical services. You should further insist that the Eucharist is celebrated utilising the New Rite of the Mass, i.e., the missal of Paul VI. Such a Decree would be giving effect to the wishes of His Holiness Pope Francis.

Of course, that would create anarchy within Silverstream Priory. And, if they did not comply in obedience to your Decree, you could petition the Holy See for a Decree of suppression. How about that for an idea?

Once Silverstream had been suppressed then the legal title to the property and the lands that constitute Silverstream Priory would pass to the Diocese of Meath. It is prime land that is ripe for development. In fact, the sale of the land could make the diocese a handsome profit.

This would have a twofold advantage: a) it would remove a major headache that you inherited from your predecessor, Bishop Michael Smith; and, b) I am sure you would take great delight in removing what has been a rich seam of content for my blog.

Of course, if that did become a reality, I am sure you would have no problem in utilising the profits from the sale of the lands at Silverstream to assist with the building of five houses for the poor.

With prayerful best wishes,

Your brother bishop,

Pat

FROM THE TABLET

https://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/15444/killaloe-accused-of-deceiving-laity-over-role-of-deacon

“We are left wondering if in reality the permanent diaconate is being introduced by stealth,” said one parishioner.

Members of the laity have accused the Diocese of Killaloe of a “breach of trust” over the ministry of permanent deacons which remains on hold in the west of Ireland diocese.

Plans to train laymen for the ministry were paused in 2014 by the then Bishop of Killaloe, Kieran O’Reilly, following protests by a group known as the Women of Killaloe.

They argued that the role of the permanent deacon is unnecessary as most of its functions can be carried out by a layperson. They also believe that if it is introduced, it should be open to women and men, as it was in the early Church.

Bishop Fintan Monahan succeeded O’Reilly, now Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, in 2016.

However, despite the pause on recruiting permanent deacons in Killaloe, it subsequently emerged that one man from the diocese had already begun training for the diaconate before the reintroduction of the ministry was halted.

The Tablet has learned that a number of lay people in Killaloe are now concerned that this permanent deacon, who was ordained for the Diocese of Cloyne, is ministering publicly in Killaloe, including at liturgies in the cathedral in Ennis, undermining the agreement reached between the diocese and its people.

PAT SAYS

The offices of Deacon and Deaconess are as old as Christianity.

The three Holy Orders are deacon priest and bishop.

What is all this fuss about in Killaloe?

The previous bishop seems to have halted the ordination to the permanent diaconate as the result of protestations by Women of Killaloe?

Who are Women of Killaloe?

Are they a group of women seeking woman’s ordination?

How does stopping male permanent deacons help their cause?

I am in favour of women’s ordination.

I ordained a woman to the priesthood 24 years ago – Mother Frances.

Now in her 90s she is still on ministry

With the disappearance of priests the RCC needs more deacons.

Surely the Women of Killaloe should be campaigning for women’s ordination?

In 2016 Francis convened a study of the role of Deaconess.

It does not seem to have reported yet.

There will be women priests and deacons in the future – alongside married priests.

Maybe even eventually openly gay married priests.

As part of Killaloe’s healing efforts for Carole, Ger Fitzgerald’s second victim, Fintan Mobahan promised her a retreat in Glenstal.

LETTER FROM FINTAN MONAHAN’S CLEO.

Recently, Carole made a retreat booking at Glenstal to take Fintan up on his offer.

Carole started getting REFUSAL emails:

FIRST REFUSAL EMAIL 8 PM TUESDAY 14TH

SECOND REFUSAL EMAIL WEDNESDAY 15TH 9 AM

Carole simply mentioned on the Blog that she was going to Glenstal.

CAROLE’S REPLY TO COFFEY

Now COFFEY & CO are refusing her admission to her arranged retreat!

Of course, Coffey is a former Killaloe priest – but not the one barebacked by Purcell in Roscrea monastery kitchen.

Coffey supports Kirby

Purcell supports Coffey.

Phonsie supports Purcell.

Those in the MAGIC CIRCLE are protected. Those outside it are rejected and hounded.

The family of slain Kelly-Ann Corcoran are seeking answers from the Catholic Church about why killer husband Dermot McArdle was allowed to remarry in the church adjacent to the graveyard in which she rests.

A source close to the family has confirmed an intermediary had written to both the Archbishop of Armagh Eamon Martin and Pope Francis in Rome seeking clarification as to whether Church law was complied with in allowing the wedding at St Fursey’s Church, Co Louth.

The source described the decision to allow McArdle to remarry on the same consecrated ground where Kelly-Ann rests as “hugely concerning”.

PP PADRAIG KEENAN REFUSING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS

I don’t know Keenan, above.

Abd we should not always judge by looks.

But he looks like an arrogant bastardo to me?

My informants in Armagh described Keenan as a “bollicks”.

PAT SAYS

What kind of bishop or priest allows allows a wife killer to marry a second wife when the first wife he killed is buried in the same church yard where the second marriage is taking place?

DEAD FIRST WIFE

What a thundering insult to the poor deceased first wife and her grieving family.

This case was referred to Eamon Martin and he stood over his decision.

Would he give the ho ahead to the wedding of a killer who had killed his sister or cousin?

Is EAMON MARTIN cruel and uncaring or just THICK?

Monsignor GRIDNR’ Gets New Parish.

June 12, 2022 from Complicit Clergy by Staff

Last July, Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the highest-ranking non-bishop Church official in the country, was forced to resign his position because he was routinely using apps like GRINDR that connect men who want to have sex with other men. Burrill, now often times referred to as ‘Monsignor GRIDR,’ is incarnated in the diocese of La Crosse under the authority of Bishop William Callahan.

Yesterday Bishop Callahan announced he has assigned Monsignor Burrill to be administrator of St. Teresa of Kolkata Parish in West Salem.

In his letter, Bishop Callahan states:

Let me state unequivocally that the Diocese of La Crosse has received no allegations of illegal misconduct of any kind by Monsignor Burrill and that I have every confidence in returning Monsignor Burrill to active ministry and in his ability to accompany the people of God of this great parish as together you journey toward a deeper, more meaningful relationship with the Person of Jesus Christ.

Got that? Callahan tries to reassure parishioners that there’s no need to worry that Monsignor Burrill was routinely cruising on homosexual hook-up apps because he apparently did nothing illegal!

PAT SAYS

SEXUALLY ACTIVE GAY CLERGY CONTINUE TAKE OVER OF THE RCC.

This appointment for the disgraced highest profile gay sexually active priest in the USA is further proof that the RCC priesthood is being totally taken over the the priestly Gay Mafia.

Burrill has been using Grindr for years and having no strings attached sex all over the USA.

And he was fling this while teaching in a seminary and the most senior, non bishop cleric in the USA.

Had he not been caught he would have been adequate a bishop.

In fact, he may still be appointed a bishop by the higher up gay mafia in the global RCC hay mafia.

The RCC hierarchy and priesthood is now a sexually active gay profession.

And it’s not good that the priesthood should be the equivalent of a gay club or sauna.

And all this is happening while AMY MARTIN is planning to ordain TROLLY DOLLY WILSON in Armagh Cathedral in 12 days time.

RECTOR OF GERMAN SEMINARY TAKES HIS OWN LIFE

Limburg, Germany, Jun 13, 2022 / 11:30 am

The rector of a German Catholic seminary was found dead last week in an apparent suicide.

Father Christof May had been removed the day before from all his offices by Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg.

Bätzing, the current chairman of the German bishops’ conference, reportedly took the step due to allegations of abusive behavior.

May’s death was first communicated internally within the Diocese of Limburg on June 9. CNA Deutsch, the Catholic News Agency’s German-language news partner, obtained a copy of the email.

It said: “We are devastated and full of grief. Christof May was questioned yesterday in a personal conversation about allegations of abusive behavior. Subsequently, Bishop Georg Bätzing had removed him from all offices in order to be able to review and investigate the allegations.”

“The death of Christof May affects us all. We have lost a committed and much-appreciated pastor.”

On June 10, the Limburg diocese publicly confirmed the death, but did not provide more details.

The German newspaper Frankfurter Neue Presse reported that the 49-year-old rector left a suicide note, which led to a search effort involving police, firefighters, and members of the German Red Cross. His body was found in a forest on the morning of June 9 after a police helicopter spotted his car nearby.

A senior prosecutor confirmed to the paper that there were “no indications of external causes or a criminal act that led to the death.”

Bishop Bätzing was recently criticized for promoting a priest who was accused of sexual misconduct by two women. Bätzing learned about the issue after he was made bishop of the Diocese of Limburg in 2016 and met with both victims.

Bätzing made it unmistakably clear that he disapproved of the priest’s behavior,” the diocese said. “He issued a monitio, an admonition in written form.” It added that the priest “asked for forgiveness, and showed credible remorse.”

Bätzing made the priest a district dean in 2020, which eventually led to the two victims going public with their accusations. In response, the priest decided to step down from his position as district dean.

VISIT TO CARLOW CEMETERY

Yesterday I visited The Angel’s Plot in Carlow cemetery to remember my 5 little sisters who died at birth and were buried in the plot.

In messages Ger sent Carole he suggests that he is above state and church law and gets very aggressive if he is challenged.

During Lockdown he thought he could do as he wished and even the Garda had no right to challenge him.

GER DOES CAROLE’S CHILDREN’S BAPTISM IN A NON CANONICAL WAY.

Ger arranged to baptish Carole’s children in their home.

But he was not the priest in Carole’s parish who had the right to baptise the children!

CHILDREN HAD ALREADY BEEN BAPTISED IN THE CHURCH OF IRELAND!

Carole’s children had already been baptised in the Church of Ireland.

The RCC fully accepts the validity of Church of Ireland baptisms.

Ger SHOULD NOT have recaptured the children.

Carole also claims that the information placed in the parish baptismal register is inaccurate.

That’s what Ger means in the screen shot above about telling “white lies”.

PAT SAYS

Ger obviously thinks that priests are above the law.

He also seems to think that inaccurate documentation is only “white lies”.

Many bishops and priests have thought they were above the law.

Some, like Ger still do.

That must END.

VISIT TO TULLAMORE CHURCH WHERE I WAS BAPTISED

ON TO CARLOW

We had lunch yesterday in Carpenters pub in Carlow in the company of Mrs Sis Carpenter – lady of the house and friend of my priest companion.

I lived in Carlow as a child and Mrs C and I shared some old memories.

Six novices were dismissed last June from the California novitiate of a small religious order, just weeks after they reported that their novice master touched several of them inappropriately without their consent, and engaged in manipulation and other conduct which caused them “serious harm.”

Their dismissal came after an internal investigation cleared the novice master of wrongdoing. But investigators did not interview any of the novices before rejecting their claims, the Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception confirmed to The Pillar. 

An attorney for the community told The Pillar that the men did not specifically request to be interviewed when they reported their allegations, and that such interviews were not necessary to resolve their misconduct claims. 

The former novices say the process was unjust, and that the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, in which the novitiate was located, should have done more to assist them when they alleged misconduct. After questions from The Pillar, the archdiocese said it is open to investigating the men’s allegations.  

The Pillar spoke with five former novices of the Canons Regular of the Immaculate Conception, a religious congregation of priests with fewer than 50 members, and houses in Europe, South America, and California, where the congregation serves two parishes.

Here is a Silverstream rerun.

CHRISTY MOORE IN TULLAMORE

Last night a priest friend of mine treated me to a 70 th birthday present of a ticket to a Christy Moore concert in my native Tullamore.

It was a lovely treat but I cannot name my priest friend because his bishop would annihilate him.

Christy’s concert was very critical of the RCC and the audience went wild with affirmation.

Tomorrow, Sunday I move in to Roscrea to meet people concerned about the Cistercian monastery there.

Then on to Carlow to discuss problems in Kildare and Leighlin involving Big Denis.

Over my last 46 years as a priest I have met many thousands of people who have become disillusioned with the Church, the hierarchy and the clergy.

I’ve only met a small number who were genuinely disillusioned with God Himself.

And even today, the many Catholics I meet who have stopped going to Mass and the Church still tell me they believe in God and say daily prayers.

So, God, as an entity, has not failed.

But the institution that claims to represent him has failed abysmally.

There are other contributory factors to the demise of religion such as secularism and materialism.

But the ABUSES and SEXUAL AND CORRUPTION SCANDALS have driven far more people away from the RCC than anything else has.

The big mistake people made and were taught to make, was to equate God with the Church institution and hierarchy and clerics.

Because, then, when people saw through the institution, hierarchy and priests, they also felt they saw through God.

The truth is that the Irish People, a people with thousands of years of spirituality, are still as spiritually hungry as they ever were.

But they do not have their spiritual needs met by the Church.

And that has left a massive spiritual vacuum in our land.

Some former RCs are trying to fill that vacuum by turning to the Protestant and Evangelical churches.

But they only attract a minority and they do not provide long term sustinence.

As Jesus said: “What father would give his child a stone when he asked for bread”.

The people of the 21 St century are looking for authenticity and a faith the puts its money where its mouth is.

If DLF & Co gathered all their assets and distributed them to people in the form of homes, food, financial help etc – as Jesus told his disciples to do – people would see an authenticity.

Now they see an epispocate and a clergy who see themselves as an elite, imposing moral norms on everyone else that they themselves are breaching wildly and concentrating on amassing assets to secure their lifestyle.

And, so, they walk away.

In the meantime there is this massive spiritual chasm.

Of course, God will never stop approaching men and women in the recesses of their hearts.

And many of those approached will respond.

But it will not be to organisations like RCC INTERNATIONAL.

The models of the early church and basic Christian communities offer direction.

In the meantime Irish Bishops and priests must pronounce: OUR MISSION HAS FAILED.

There will be priests and others coming on the Blog today talking of great things happening in their parishes.

I’m sorry, Fathers, the Irish Roman Catholic Church is a desert where the countless bones of so many of your various types of victims are strewn.

You need to see that your so called “vibrant parishes” are tiny oases in a global desert where your chosen few have water and shade.

And oases are very often the fruit of mirages.

A CAR I NEVER HEARD OF – KOENIGSEGG  – EACH WORTH MILLIONS.

From childhood I have been a car lover and a “petrol head”.

Why?

My granddad was a chauffeur in Tullamore  Co. Offaly, for the famous Williams family who made Irish Mist and Tullamore Dew.

On his days off he brought me for drives in the William’s Rolls Royces and Bentleys.

As a child I also spent time in our next door neighbour’s car repair garage.

I was smitten with cars as a child.

But this week I learned about a car I had never heard of before – the KOENIGSEGG.

They sell for between 3 and 15 million!

Personally I have no interest in sports cars or Formula One cars.

But I was gobsmacked that a car could cost £ 15 million.
