Archbishop Eamon Martin has said anti-abortion campaigners will continue to advocate that “both lives matter” ahead of the ‘Rally for Life’ march in Dublin today.
Speaking at Saint Saviour’s Church and Dominican Priory, Dorset Street in Dublin earlier today, Archbishop Martin said “sadly and shockingly” the number of abortions in Ireland have increased “significantly”.
AMY MARTIN IS AS CREDIBLE ON MORALITY AS ADOLPH HITLER WAS ON THE RIGHTS OF JEWS.
People like AMY MARTIN regard morals are rules that lay people have to adhere to but they do ot apply to bishops and priests.
They also seem to think that ABORTION is the only great moral issue of our Time.
AMY wants to protect children in the wome and at birth – protect the first 9 months of a babies life.
But they don’t feel half as strongly about:
1. Subjecting young people and their parents against being shown gay porn by their PP.
2. Protecting young males from being shown the penis and testicles of their PP or CC on the internet of an evening.
3. Protecting young females from being filmed by their curate in a ladies toilet cubicle.
4. Protecting young males from being drugged and sexually assaulted by drug taking and alcoholic priests.
The “abortionists” and their co-operators are automatically excommunicated in this life and bound for Eternal Damnation in the next life.
BUT the lecherous, assaulting, voyeuristic and addict priests are rewarded with:
Paid leave,
Plush accommodation,
Unending 5 * therapy and counselling,
Fully sponsored degrees and doctorates,
Full clerical fraternity,
And finally new sneaky back door jobs and placements.
Most RC bishops stink.
Amy Martin stinks to high heaven.

You may think that he shouldn’t be archbishop, however also have no power to get rid of him.
Another example would be that you might think that Boris Johnson is a dangerous psychopath who should not be prime minister but he’s still got authority over you whether you like it or not.

Thank you. I have had a bishop I didn’t like. I was often “sick” on days of meetings with him and frankly if I knew he was on parish visitation I was on holiday that weekend. Did he move me, yes – it’s part of ministry. Did he send me to a “punishment parish”, yes. Was it punishment? No – because I ministered happily there. Then he retired and I didn’t attend the function or visit him in the home… or attend his funeral.
Amy makes bad decisions. They are his to make and own. Would I get upset? No. My job is to run the parish as best I can. I cannot run the diocese.

The blog subject today points to something very important about the Church, about bishops and about priests – namely, that they have long since lost any credibility to talk about anything, and particularly anything that has to do with morality or what affects personally the lives of the faithful. Yes, they will maintain that they are simply speaking the truth of the Gospel, but that would in this day and age be better and more creditably done by others. The reason for this collapse in credibility and integrity in the clerical ranks ? Simple. Abuse, coverup and lying. There is no getting away from the fact that the whole structure of the clerical establishment over hundreds of years spent its time conniving in and covering up the activities of brother priests at the expense of the most weak and vulnerable, all in the interests of. protecting the Church and its reputation and ensuring that their brother priests were protected from the glare of the truth. This is simply unforgivable in the eyes of the vast majority of people and I do not believe there is any way back for the likes of + Armagh and his priests from this. They are simply not listened to, they are discounted, people turn away, and they have no credibility or integrity and are not trusted. If the Church wants to proclaim the Gospel then it needs to find other voices in order to do so, and for that to be so there needs to be a root and branch revision and change of the clerical hierarchy to involved a wide spectrum of people, including women. If a women was speaking in + Armagh’s place, preaching the Gospel truth, then she would have more chance of being heard. + Armagh is pissing in the wind when he makes pronouncements and needs to realise that he is not listened to. Especially when he is telling others how to live their lives ! Most people are wondering how he and his priests are living their lives, and I think most of us know the truth !

8.57: Thus is a good, honest and true analysis, getting straight to the point and the core of the present crisis of credibility within the Church. You have done so without personalised, ugly and nasty name calling or ad hominem attacks or without degrading any individual priest or bishop. This is a quality contribution to a necessary TRUTH. As disturbing as ignominious personal moral failings of priests may be – which disturb the faithful of God – the one big cause of our lack of moral credibility is the clerical abuse scandals: the frequency of them; the horrendous, life long hurt caused; the lack of accountability; lack of true care for survivors; the deceit and cover up by Church leadership; the legalese approach which has been painfully adversarial; the hiding of information; the silence by so many within the Church. Need I go on? For many, many people in our country the seared memories of the Church are now remembered by children’s shoes hanging on railings outside churches, the protests when Pope Francis arrived, the Magdalene Work Houses which dot our landscape, the ongoing need for proper and just compensation, the inability of the Church to fully and repentantly express true remorse and sorrow. Coupled with these great moral failings are the church’s teachings on sexuality and morality, teachings which have defined some as being “intrinsically disordered” and “unnatural”. How is such fundamentalist and crushing doctrine suppose to be embracing, inclusive and welcoming of all peoples? There’s a sense among many priests that we’ve lost our way, that because we’ve lost our moral credibility, our spiritual authority and integrity are also in tatters. The on-going talks about Synodality, Building Hope Initiatives and other Renewal Projects are looking increasingly like the last throw of the dice!! A little like trying to rearrange the deck chairs as the ship goes below the water.. We are literally all at sea! Sliding down under. Adrift. What keeps my commitment alive – the gratitude of parishioners for the ministry I try to offer as caringly as possible. Thank you 8.57: if only we could all keep to this level of debate!! Thank you.

Sexual blackmail and threats: victim was a parish priest of Val Brembana, who denounced
Desperate, he turned to the police, who vanquished a gang of young people from Brianza. Also another young priest among the blackmailed
There are also two priests among the victims of sexual blackmail that came to light thanks to the investigation that yesterday, Friday 24 January, led to the arrest of nine young people . The investigation was conducted by the Carabinieri of Zogno, precisely because in that barracks a priest who works in Val Brembana had turned to the military to report the blackmail he had been undergoing since the spring. The other priest, on the other hand, would operate in Brianza.
The requests for money to buy the silence of their torturers met in a chat for dating between homosexuals, never ended. Until, desperate and in tears, the prelate from Bergamo decided to turn to the Carabinieri, finding the courage to expose himself to denounce the fact. Even for the priest from Brianza, the modalities were the same: threats to make some videos public led to an excessive outlay of money. Overall, there is talk of a figure that is around sixteen thousand euros.
The arrested are nine, almost all young people between 20 and 24 years who live in Brianza and who are now in the Monza prison accused of extortion in competition.

I would like a text message from your removalists Archbishop Martin, you and Jim Carroll. Cyril Bellew has my number. It concerns the theft of a juicer ( 1200 pounds in 2010), the coins collected throughout life and 270 euro in coins by his reckoning. Two witnesses to this. Long game..but legal proceedings in the offing if not reconciled. Regards to John Mc Vey. I was sufficiently prudent to record pertinent calls…despite your framing my capacity. I hope that is clear Your Disgrace Martin.

I think priests should have working holidays or be obliged to do things like take relief to Ukraine. They don’t need a holiday as such, because it’s not like they do any work.

A day working in the bog is a good grounding for anyone during their summer holidays. Far better than going to Adare for a round of golf!

I agree with you Pat, on all 4 of those, (and probably a few more) 5ft part on abortion, where I think you may have an opinion on. Of course you are entitled to on this issue…whereas everything else is swept? Its strange in this country of ours abortion is not an issue anymore but a women’s choice ? Maybe education and the separation of Church and State is slowly doing Ireland very well? Just an opinion. But it’s my opinion.

Denis Diderot did not exactly say the words attributed to him but did say similar in the poem ‘Les Éleuthéromanes’ in two lines: ‘Et ses mains ourdiraient les entrailles du prêtre, Au défaut d’un cordon pour étrangler les rois.’
Our rulers are getting endless of mileage out of their telling of the Mother and Baby Homes plus the Magdelene Laundries, which were found in identical or similar forms in so many other countries. Religious brothers and sisters were used by our rulers as a cheap labour force in lieu of making the effort to properly build a modern state. We got instead a carceral state where many, many people were locked up for various reasons or no clear reason. If a pair of greedy sisters want rid of an eccentric bachelor farmer or spinster who inherited something they wanted, it was relatively easy to get those oddballs committed. This wasn’t the doing of the Church although in leadership were complicit. It was how our political and commercial class wanted things. The final decades of British rule were good times for them, so it continued with a slight change or personnel. The overambitious could emigrate.
Most politicians or celebs like the vacuous and wildly overpaid grandson of Todd Andrew (destroyer of our railways and privately anti-clerical) are descendants or closely related to those rulers who predictably avoid blame entirely. Instead bishops, priests, nuns and brothers are wholly at fault. You see lay Catholics, with little help from the reliably useless bishops, repeatedly frustrated referendums the Great and the Good wanted passed, hence no end of this stuff. That’s the reason for it. They don’t give a damn about those poor women. I wish most of our politicians having tanked the rental and tourism trade could be send to Ukraine to clear landmine and bobby trap devices. It would save us so much money.
+Eamon Martin is a reliably useless (arch)bishop with quite the cast of bad characters, the blog regulars, if you like. It’s an easy win to attach himself to that almost wholly lay Catholic effort. Easier than somehow improving the standards among certain of his priests.
