A KERRY MYSTERY – MARK MORIARITY’S ORDINATION TO THE DIACONATE.

MARK MORIARITY was ordained a deacon in Killarney catgedral on Sunday.

A number if Kerry priests were surprised by the ordination

They had been led to believe that Ray Browne had told Mark that he would not be ordained and should prepare himself to return to Civvy Street.

In fact, the priests had been told that Ray had placed Mark in an empty presbytery to complete his studies in order to get a job in the real world.

Earlier, they had been told that Ray Browne had ordered Mark to lose some weight?

A bit like Nicholls did to Fr Tom Montgomery when he was a seminarian in Rome and had a “brush” with an Aussie seminarian with pecs and self defence talents.

FR TOM MONTGOMERY

WHY DID RAY DO A TURN ABOUT ON MARK?

Everyone is wondering why Ray had a change of heart on Mark.

Could it be that Mark knows a lot about Mayooth abd other clergy?

Was it a matter of keeping Mark in the tent, pissing out rather than the other way around?

Apparently, Mark will minister as a Deacon in Tralee.

AND, did Mark have to sign an affidavit for Ray?

Very often the only way out for a priest is if he has access to alternative funding, because when he leaves the diocese will wipe their hands of him. So, those priests who have family money or had chaplaincies / roles that pay a pension, or a benefactor – they are the ones who can think about moving on if they want to. I suggest that many priests would leave by age 60 /65 if they had the chance. They are tired, disillusioned, fed up, unsupported, put on and. just want out. But without dosh it is well nigh impossible. Sounds as though Eddie Clare had options. Although, I seem to remember that there was something else going on there too that may have prompted him ?

Disappeared, out of sight and never mentioned. I don’t think anybody really knows what happened, maybe a woman, maybe a man. There are a number of them in Brum who have just disappeared. John Gilbert is another. Suddenly gone and no news at all, even to his parishioners. All of these cases have some secret, hidden side to them, which will involve some kind of mishap, misbehaviour, questionable behaviour, etc. etc. A priest does not just go MIA for no reason. Life is too comfortable for them to give up, even if they think that what they are doing and teaching is a load of shite. A few in Brum are sidelined, out of ministry, but still around and still hang on the edges. They have no option. They have no other means of support and rely on the diocese to keep them and house them. What a miserable existence. The only ones we do know something about are the ones in prison, the likes of Bede Walsh etc. Surely he must be getting to the end of his sentence and due for release ? Anybody know anything about that ?

Maybe he got fed up with it all and decided to through in the towel. There is a crisis in the workplace among those aged 50+ who chose not to return to work after the pandemic. Many people reevaluated their lives. I suspect some priests who are fortunate enough to be financially independent or have the means to find alternative work decide enough is enough.

Yes, we have to face facts here: God KNOWINGLY calls paedos to the priesthood FOREKNOWING that they will rape little children and that his faithful priests, right up to the papacy, will cover all this up and, by doing so, facilitate the further abuse of children.

12:36 Yes. The ‘holy’ ones will hate that notion so I’ll add this one to it. If the church is holy, then self evidently the true church will be one where children aren’t raped.

But do we really know the facts here? All of them?
I, too, (though great in God, and knowledgeable to gnosis) am puzzled by the moral character of many ‘called to the priesthood’, as you humans say. I should love to ask God why he calls such men (if, indeed, he does), but I daren’t risk being found presumptiously impertinent by asking such a question; don’t want to end up, like Satan, where the grass most certainly isn’t greener, but sorta scorched. So, I remain silent, except that even my silence speaks to God. Jesus! Is their no privacy here at all?!😕
Anyway, I’ve been giving the matter some independent thought, of late especially, since the topic of paedophile priests and their facilitation in the church is, well, hotly topical now.
Here’s a what-if. What if God DOESN’T call anyone to the priesthood, but leaves such decisions to human interest and inclination? This would mean that God is not responsible for what transpires when these men, for whatever reasons, become priests, ostensibly to serve God, but, in reality, to slake their baser appetites.
Or, what if God DOES call to priesthood, but cannot stop Satan, for his own malevolent purposes, from doing likewise?
Sáty! Can you settle a monologic debate here? Do you (what’s the word? ‘vocate’? ‘drive’? whatever. 😕) really bring these men to the priesthood? Not knowing is making my life hell at the moment. So to speak. 😊

(Long sigh 😧) I fear you are right, Sáty. Thank you for being candid. A pleasant disproof for those who unthinkingly calumnise you (tch!) as the supreme liar.

If I’ve understood you, then these men pursue priesthood as a means to self-aggrandisement? It’s … all making sense to me now. A penny long past dropping, to be honest. (And I always am. 😇) It is priesthood these men desire, not God. Hence, their trail of human corruption, broken lives and spirits, and ever-growing disillusionment among believers with the existence of providential compassion and care.

I think I myself can answer my question now: you have no need to bring to the priesthood any of these men, have you, since they have sufficient self-interest to bring themselves? Yes?

Of course there will, because that’s how history has always gone. There are a few problems stopping a revival for the present though:
1. The church has done nothing to inspire confidence since the abuse scandal broke. Pat’s blog helps to give the public the accurate impression that the clergy don’t give a shit. As long as those clergy hold the power and nothing changes in the church’s treatment of people or the public perception, it won’t happen.
2. The church doesn’t understand the current causes for its decline or actively resists them (see 1). This has been seized on by the lace and latin brigade, whose inadequate understanding of history and pretty well everything else, makes them blame the decline on Vatican 2.
3. The surrounding society is less interested in religion than in the past which will militate against it.
4. I don’t know the stats for Ireland but if shifts in religion elsewhere in the world towards Islam and evangelical Christianity are also mirrored in Ireland that would help to prevent a renewal.
5. Currently what onlookers see in the church is a lot of infighting, bitching and politicking. Honestly this gives a terrible impression, and regardless of what Catholics think about it, to the onlooker it disproves the religion.
6. Racism towards clergy coming from other parts of the world to help out has the same effect.
My prediction would be it will have to die out and start again, currently its recent history is too bad and it’s just not functioning at all.

Kerr was in Burford for years and has retired to Cheltenham. What a bitchy old Queen he was and is – love seeing him defend Newman as a raging heterosexual as opposed to the effete queer we know and love – funny that rather like Ker.

Couve was a fecking nightmare – like Dan Leonard the VG he died afraid and on the ropes – they know they did wrong and I doubt slept soundly or knew the comfort of a clean conscience.
As for intellectual- he was chaplain to Cambridge as was his lover boy Osman and both suffered from the delusion that they were intellectual- when both patently Dim Tim’s.

5:32 I love that his sole evidence that Newman was straight was Newman writing about having a wife or girlfriend. Once. At a young age.
What I love even better is the shrill, defensive tone in which he does it.

Talking of Tim’s – why did Couve clutch Tim Menezes from Oscott?
Was he an academic?
Or saintly/holy?
Or for what other reason did he catch Couves eye?

He was undoubtedly slimmer back then – the joke was that he was FOEP full of Eastern Promise as in the Turkish Delight advert – he, Walker and Sean Connolly were inseparable.

Gargantuan Laddy be a darling won’t you and try and keep up, there’s a luv.
Now let’s begin at the v beginning keeping it nice and simple:
The Charity Barnardos did a report which exposed the Archdiocese of Birmingham as identitying Joe Quigley as a struggling priest and not a dangerous sexual predator. They thought ah bless Joe Quigley he’s immoral and sinful but having sex with a 16 year old lad – well that’s just struggling!!
BBC Kenyan – ah now this is old hat but the investigative journalist Paul Kenyan did an expose on Birmingham who insisted they had no idea where the dangerous sexual predator Fr Robinson was – he was in California and they were paying him a healthy monthly stipend.
Hope that helps clear that up – anything else on Birmingham don’t hesitate to ask – less a dioces more a criminal enterprise.

Those two are bound to be more than a little self-conscious when out in public. Oh! I’ve just been unintentionally ironic there. They ARE out in public, since most in these isles know that both have featured on this blog for far less than pious reasons.

Imagine being tortured by the thought that everyone around you knows what you got up to, and why. 😅

Knowing that everyone knows you’re a total, freakin’ fraud.😅

The game’s up, lads, and not just for those two clowns. 😕

Ian Kerr was ordained for Portsmouth – moved to Birmingham now lives in Clifton.
Kerr and Osman hated their bishops – Kerr hated Hollis and Osman hated the old fart who Roche took over from whose name escapes m.

Yeah that helps a lot – I secretly always thought Couve was like Pope Emeritus Benedict in that he enjoys a nice furry pussy too.

And I’m sure Couve ogling a bird with big tits in the front row was a common occurance old giglio that he was!!!!!!!

Your diocese is a disgrace, an embarassment. 2-3 victims of one priest given no publuc apology and minimal therapy while you run Facebook ads to lure in more stupid sheep. You had a wanker in Galway. Where are the public apologies to victims?

7.25 On a history tour in Limerick City this evening with my buddy TB. Who comes up to us in the old Protestant graveyard at St. John’s? A certain monk from Glenstal who was looking for the grave of John Cusack, the priest catcher from Kilkishen 🤣. Had I not been with the group, I would have asked him if he feels comfortable with the fact that they broke the Benedictine rule and refused me the retreat that was promised me. I didn’t get a chance to talk to him as he drove off in a nice, new, shiny black car. C’est la vie.

How interesting that Monsignor was FOEP back then – yes cuddles now for sure – close to Walker for sure – whose the top, whose the bottom? Walker always seems smitten with his more bossy and dominant paramour.
And close to Clare for sure in Rome -inseparable as you say (ah bless) but who is Sean Connelly? Is he still a priest? Haven’t heard of him?

And Longley is known to like buxom women with big arses – he was heard to say, after saying Mass on the Hagley Rd, fag in one hand, a shot of whisky in the other, ‘Come on lads let’s go up Broad St and find us a nice bit of skirt.’
I know you’d never have thunk it but it’s the closeted repressed ones you have to watch!

Like

Is that a genuine quote from Longley or a Sid James line from ‘Carry On Up the Oratorian’ (1974)? You know the film: Kenneth Williams as the outrageous Provost and Charles Hawtrey as the tipsy curate… to say nothing of the delicious and aforementioned Hattie Jacques
