There is talk among the clergy that Eamon Martin has been thinking of sending RYAN MC ALEER to be a lecturer at St Mary’s Teacher Training College in Bekfast !!!
Ryan spent some time as the religious advisor to Armagh Catholic primary schools.
The clergy say that in that role Ryan clashed with a nun.
They also say that nun has Eamon Martin’s ear?
The Armagh clergy say that Ryan Mc Aleer prefers not to meet Eamon Martin on his own and brings people like the Vicar General Canon Eugene Sweeney to these meetings.
St Mary’s which is associated with Queen’s University Belfast has circa 1,000 students
Roughly 10 % of them are young males.
It is not appropriate to put Ryan Mc Aleer in a supervisor position over these students until the sexual controversies surrounding him are cleared up:
1. The series allegation that he sexually assaulted a young man and left injuries on his body.
2. The allegation that Ryan himself was sexually assaulted by Fr Emlyn Mc Ginn when he Ryan, was a seminarian in Rome.
If such an appointment happens I will place a picket on St Mary’s and make a formal complaint to Queen’s University.

2.11: Pat, did you report this incident to any bishop or police authority? As a pre teenager I recall being undressed by the older guys in the village and being mocked and ridiculed. I often wonder how I got through the shame of it. It was “messing” but it was done against my wishes. I vividly remember that phase of my life. Did it at some unconscious level affect my emotional and sexual well being, 55 years later? It has often visited my memories. All four are still alive!! I convinced myself that it had to be a phase or rite of passage among the “men”.. Wasn’t nice. Many of us have been damaged in some way in our past, a damage and wound we are good at hiding but the effects of these childhood incidents can surface in different ways..

What is it about + Armagh that he does not see that an individual, about whom there is intense speculation over his sexual behaviour, even if it is not criminal, is not suitable to be appointed to an educational establishment such as appears to be planned ? If this man was a layman working at that establishment already, and such things were being alleged about him and his behaviour, the authorities there would look at it very closely and would have taken an initial step of suspending him pending the outcome of the investigation, which if it showed any impropriety inconsistent with his role in the establishment would lead to him losing his job. But, I guess these clergy have a different mindset, believing themselves not accountable to lesser human beings since they are of an ontologically superior status ! Different rules apply for clergy. That is what you are seeing here. It is good to call it out, and make it known.

It is quite obvious these last few days that Bill Mulvihill was privy to much “abuses” of all kinds in the not too distant past. We’re always wiser and more knowledgeable in hindsight. For the past 25 – 30 years the mantra of advice preached to all priests was to “report” and “act upon” suspicions of abuses of any kind, particularly sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable people. Bill would have heard the same clarion calls. He surely wasn’t deaf to their serious implications. I want to ask him: Why, if you kept such records of abuses which you witnessed in Ireland, Rome or Australia, did you not then report to any authority? Why do you keep saying “he” or “they” should be reported to authorities, as you say of Rory at 1.15 and yet don’t do so yourself? Why did you wait till you left priesthood to be vocal about KNOWN ABUSES you were aware of? Your silence all through the years, like the silence of your past colleagues, is a damning statement about your lack of moral fibre and integrity. You, Bill, played “protect the system game”, no doubt very proficiently. Your silence while a cleric contributed to on going abuse of minors and vulnerable people. Why? Because, while you probably condemned abuses in your homilies, you did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE. Coward is the name of such people. Now, you are asking Pat and commenters to do your work: GO AND MAKE REPORTS TO THE GARDAI YOURSELF IF YOUR FILES OF 30/40 YEARS ARE RELIABLE while you ministered in Ireland, Australia and Rome and wherever else. GO….

If mummy or daddy is Principal, son/daughter becomes Head of Department. Certainly teaching contracts and promotions are based upon being a member of a closed gay network in many RC schools. Mid Ulster exemplifies this well. Rotten connections among several schools and this above closed gay network of professionals and clergy do exist; it is likely that the party will end abruptly. There is nothing quite like the truth, transparency and uncovering the mask from the ugly realities that are regarded as ‘pillars’ in our society.

There are far too many teacher training places in NI generally, what with St Mary’s, Stranmillis, UU, QUB and the Open University all churning out new teachers for whom there is little demand. Meanwhile other parts of the economy have skills shortages.
