SILVERSTREAM EXCLUSIVE – PORN AGAIN ELIJAH REPLACED BY “FRENCH” MONK.

MC CABE ON RIGHT

REMOVED – ELIJAH

LETTER TO TOM DEENIHAN

My brother Bishop Tom,

Last week, I was informed that Elijah Carroll resigned as the Prior of Silverstream Priory. However, as you know, I take an evidence-based approach to what is published on my blog, so I made some enquiries. And very kindly some of the priests that provide me with information within your own diocese confirmed this fact.

I already know the answer to this question, but, is it true that the new Prior of Silverstream Priory is: Fr. Basil Mary MacCabe, OSB, a monk of the French-based Abbey of Saint-Joseph de Clairval de Flavigny?

I have been told that Fr. Basil Mary MacCabe, OSB, in the past, was a visitor to Silverstream Priory and was impressed with the place. Is this true? If so, is the appointment of Fr. MacCabe an attempt to rehabilitate the malign legacy of Dom Mark Kirby? Surely, growing-up in Cork, you would have been aware of the adage — you cannot make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, and that is a maxim that is applicable to Silverstream Priory.

Readers of my blog will be curious to know: did you approach the Benedictine troubleshooter, Abbot Brendan Coffey of Glenstal Abbey and ask him to provide a priest from Glenstal to act as Prior of Silverstream?

Did the kindly Abbot Brendan tell you to look beyond the shores because Silverstream has become so toxic no mainstream Benedictine community in Ireland would wish to be associated with it under any circumstances? If so, Abbot Brendan has given you sound advice.

It is my understanding that Fr. MacCabe has been a monk of Flavigny for some time. I am told it is a very odd place. Like Silverstream Priory – Flavigny is not authentically Benedictine because its monks go out and give retreats based on the exercises of St. Ignatius. Flavigny, too, has its own troubled history with ecclesiastical authorities but unlike Silverstream it has NOT been mired in sexual scandal, which is a blessed relief. So, the questions that flow from that observation are: a) has Fr. MacCabe, OSB been appointed to oversee the closure and suppression of Silverstream Priory; and, b) if that is the case: will the professed monks of Silverstream be transferring to Flavigny or will Silverstream become a satellite community under the jurisdiction of French-based Abbey?

Did you demand the resignation of Elijah Carroll? Did you threaten to remove him by Decree? Of course, readers of my blog would like to know: did Elijah resign voluntarily, due to the fact that I have repeatedly highlighted on my blog his addiction to gay porn? Alternatively, it has been suggested that my last missive to you about traditionalist communities approaching bishops to be illicitly ordained might have been a catalyst in your decision-making: is there any truth in that observation?

Do you regret appointing Elijah Carroll as superior? Back in the day when I first started blogging about Silverstream, was he [Carroll] recommended to you as a potential superior by Abbot Brendan of Glenstal Abbey because he [Coffey] was desperate to end his association with Silverstream in light of my blog? If that was the case – would you accept that Elijah was not an inspired choice and Abbot Coffey has bad judgement?

Presumably, the Rt. Rev’d Dom Jean-Bernard Marie Bories, OSB, who was elected the third abbot of the Abbey of Saint-Joseph de Clairval de Flavigny on May 8, 2020, gave written permission for the appointment of Fr. MacCabe? In an act of transparency – are you Bishop Deenihan willing to publish his written permission on the website of the Diocese of Meath?

Silverstream Priory in the past would have been subject to the jurisdiction of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, however, the jurisdiction of that Commission has now been transferred on January 19, 2019 to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in light of the Motu Proprio of Pope Francis: was the aforementioned Congregation consulted and permission received from same to appoint Fr. MacCabe, OSB, as the Prior of Silverstream Priory?

As Fr. MacCabe belongs to a monastery of diocesan right located within the Archdiocese of Dijon, did the Ordinary, Archbishop Antoine Henry Pierre Marie Hérouard give written permission for the appointment of Fr. MacCabe as the new superior of Silverstream Priory?

Do you as the Ordinary of the Diocese of Meath have any concerns that the new Prior of Silverstream was only ordained a priest on October 17, 2020 by the then Archbishop of Dijon, Roland Minnerath?

I am told at Flavigny Abbey, the Community Mass is celebrated using the Novus Ordo. However, I am also told that priests of the community celebrate so-called Low Masses using the Extraordinary Form. Have you instructed Silverstream Priory to celebrate the Eucharist using the Missal of Paul VI? And will this be one of the first acts of the new Prior: to impose the new missal? If the community at Silverstream refused to accept the new Rite – will you seek guidance from Cardinal-elect Roche at the Congregation of Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments?

Obviously, the question we all want answered: will Dom Kirby and Dom Andersen be returning to Silverstream to be subject to the jurisdiction of the new Prior?

With prayerful best wishes,

Your brother bishop

+Pat Buckley

@12.27am I have viewed the video, as you suggest. The priest says the mass at 100mph. I have no idea why he thinks that is a suitable thing to do, but there we are. He said the prayer of consecration as a more liberal minded prioest would say it. Let us not be concerned about that. If you search his name you find that he is a radical, with views that have upset the traditionalists. Indeed, he may have lost a post at the seminary after external lobbying about his liberalism. All that is a great shame because his parish looks very lively,

So glad he didn’t get the Allen Hall job.

What a slovenly example he would have been to the seminarians, most of whom deplore that 1970s way of celebrating Mass.

You will all recall how the reporters in Boston in Spotlight found how the abusive priests were hidden. They went through yearbooks and found they were down with plausible reasons for being out of the parishes such as a sabbatical or even just c/o the bishop.
The next step by the church was always going to be just not publishing the whereabouts of a priest, so we now know that if a priest disappears from the website it might mean something has happened.

It should clearly be suppressed. None of the monks has had a formation apart from what they have received from a man who hears voices from the tabernacle.
The dysfunction of what has happened there has been revealed by Dom Benedict.
There have been allegations about the man appointed prior.
The place is clearly not a functioning monastery. You could reform it by making it canonically dependent on an existing abbey rather than a diocese and have the entire community spend several years in the parent monastery.
The fact a superior has been appointed from outside merely proves that Silverstream is not a mature Benedictine monastery. In any of the congregations it would certainly be dependent on another one.
Without that the only way is suppression.
There are way too many limping along monasteries in Britain and Ireland already without adding a playpen one as well.

Pat, I think your observation that the illicit ordination of Dom Alcuin Reid may have spooked Deenihan into action. I am fascinated by the cultish behaviour of supporters of the TLM. Below, I will link an interview of Dom Reid conducted by Peter Kwasniewski that is tacitly supportive of Dom Reid’s unacceptable and self-serving justification for being illicitly ordained a priest. Is Reid’s vanity project any different to the hundreds of contemplative communities of enclose nuns who have to rely on the services of a priest for the daily Eucharist? The answer is clearly, no.
Kwasniewski’s son is a monk in simple vows at Silverstone Priory. The fact that his father is so supportive of the unconscionable ordination of Reid should be a salutary warning for Deenihan that illicit ordinations might have been contemplated/actioned by the community at Silverstream.
We must not forget that the founder of Silverstream Dom Mark Kirby published a book purporting to contain “Divine” revelations and masqueraded as a modern day Padre Pio. The monks at Silverstream have been formed in the likeness and image of Kirby’s perverse spirituality. And for that reason the appointment of a new prior from outside the community will make no difference because Silverstream is fatally flawed.

It’s no different. The emergency he talks about is in his mind and the more perfect way would have been to wait and obey. I don’t believe Reid’s monastery don’t have a car to attend daily mass elsewhere if necessary.

Unfortunately, I cannot permit this to happen.

11:27 It is true about Fr. Ger’s friend in the Garda station. There’s even a photo of them together at some charity event in Ennis. The only evidence is William’s testimony. He told me that the money was not Fr. Ger’s. Back in April of this year, he checked his emails to look at the date of his emails from Ger to see if the dates corresponded to the date on the bank slip. From what I was told, it did correspond. I asked Wm. if Fr. Ger could face legal action regarding the 17k and his reply was “If the money is still in his account then yes.” After Cleo & Fintan discussed the allegation about the money with Ger, Cleo told me that Ger was claiming it was savings. When it all came out on the blog, someone said it was a loan but what collateral could he have used? First savings and then a loan? Makes no sense. I told Wm. and he said Ger was not taking responsibility. Wm. said only three people knew about the 17k: Ger, himself and a third party. Who’s to say that Ger didn’t “fiddle” with documents to make it look like the money was actually his. Wm. won’t talk to me about it because he has his code of ethics that he lives by. Wm. does not read the blog, is not on social media, and he lives a very ascetic lifestyle as he is a self professed Pagan. That is about all I can tell you on the money matter.

Anyway Karen, regardless of that, we will not argue semantics. I have lots of blogs here and lots of printed comments which imply that this priest has committed financial fraud. I find this beyond alarming so I will be presenting this “file of evidence” I have in my possession, at a Garda Station of my choice. I will be asking them to open an investigation. I’m sure the priest will be called upon to make an official statement and I’m sure that subsequently William will be called upon to do likewise and show his evidence also.

I deserve better than that. Ger knows very well that I am trapped in an unhappy marriage and I will not give anyone the satisfaction of hearing more on that subject so don’t bother asking me. All I ever asked for from Ger was the truth. I have no faith anymore in anyone. He shook my soul to the very core and now I am like a dead person inside. No joy, no expectations, no hope for the future. I only stay on this earth for my children. Please do not tell me to get therapy.

Karen this sadly is the run of the mill stuff in the Church this past twenty years and things have changed the past five if not more NOTHING will be covered up however it is time for you to let go and from my experience you have played your cards wrong as you may have got Ger back into your loving arms but you have blew that so he will need to start afresh.
Ger could help everyone by just resigning and move on but he is not going to do that and as a matter of interest Canon Lawyers get paid by the dioceses and they cost a fortune and more so if it goes to Rome.

You are insinuating a lot about Gers present situation and you couldn’t be so far from the truth about any of it. You are not even luke warm.
My advice to you is to focus on yourself and let go of the past because it will eat you up.

10.01am Karen,i am not trying to twist things around at all. Tell me one thing, did Ger ever make a move on you? Did he ever make an attempt to kiss you. I don’t think so because you have never mentioned that. Most definitely it’s very clear that he enjoyed your company as a friend but sadly you had romantic feelings for him and it does hurt when you are rejected and discover that the romantic feelings are not mutual. Yes, Ger did wrong on many things. He shouldn’t have stayed at your home and he shouldn’t have taken advantage of you by taking so many gifts. You just didn’t give him books and letters. You also bought him clothes etc which was a bit extreme. you said that most times that ye went out you paid for the meals. This was your choice Karen and you wanted to do all of this for Ger to make him happy( your own words).i am not one of Gers minions before you come back to me with that, and while he did make mistakes, you have also made some too Be true to yourself always because trying to make somebody happy doesn’t work, it never does and you are responsiible for your own happiness The loss you are feeling in your soul is an emptiness inside of you rhat has been there long before you ever became friends with Ger. I have no doubt whatsoever that Ger loved your friendship but i think you may have misunderstood the love. I am not being unkind. It’s difficult to accept that t at times.i know, You just have to really let go Karen and move on. If i’m being honest if you say you loved him , you shouldn’t have revealed some private conversations between ye like you did that was irrelevant for the blog it just showed that you wanted revenge and humiliate Ger

Silly. +Williamson turned increasingly eccentric and for some time has accommodated one Fr Abraham who was accused of abusing children. The families withdrew the claims, but the SSPX sent to an isolated religious house, which was the best that could be done as there was no conviction and a canonical trial approved by Rome was undertaken, but then he left the SSPX and now lives at the Respice Stellam / SSPX Resistance HQ which is Regina Martyrum House, Broadstairs. Fr Abraham even offered Mass publicly there and even in Ireland in 2015. There are limits to what can be done if there are no court proceedings and Fr A just walked out on the canonical procedure. If you think the world is flat and don’t like Jews, +Williamson is the man. Always at crank conferences to do with UFOs, Jews and what not. That said, the Resistance have a priest in the Cork area, Fr Ballini, did do a good thing when he carried out an exorcism of the Dáil. It needs it but exorcisms are useless if not approved by the local ordinary, whoever holds jurisdiction, and I think Diarmuid Martin might have alienated the Irish Times set if he had approved that.
The SSPX SG met Pope Francis five or so months ago when in Rome, and discussed mostly social matters as Dom Davide was rector of the Buenos Aires SSPX seminary when the Pope was then Abp of Buenos Aires. New seminaries, new churches, convents, a professional news agency – it is a model to so many in the Church.

5.00pm I said categorically and clearly some time ago on this matter that what I do not have a handle on I do not comment on. My interest in this whole scenario is the treatment of a homeless man by a priest in Ennis and his subsequent, in my view, incarceration for speaking a truth; calling someone/someones Mother Fuckers. From what I had managed to find out; he was accurate in his assessment. Your naming me so prominently in your comment is questionable to put to mildly. Who are you ? It is very clear these women were set upon by this marauding clergyman. Sordit you call it, but if you think it rare, you live on a different island to me. The women hurt by clergy, historically and contemporaneously, on this island is well established. Think of “churching.” Not to long consigned to history but total abuse of women and their natural anatomies. What did this priest actually think he was doing ? As for the bishop, unconscionable. For the withdrawal of an accepted stay at a Benedictine Monastery; reprehensible. There are a lot more serious matters but would need legal eagles to handle them, not my concerns but theirs. As for the Gardai, good luck with that, The domestic abuse numbers in their ranks were quickly silenced in the media recently.
