WAS A MURDERING CISTERCIAN MONK PROTECTED AT MELLINFONT ABBEY IN CO. LOUTH?

ANOTHER IRISH CISTERCIAN SCANDAL?

This week we heard that a murder had taken place in the past connected to New Mellifont Abbey in Collon in County Louth.

A dead woman’s body was buried in a well.

She was a local woman, not from Collon but a neighbouring parish.

The well was outside the monastery walls.

It was portrayed as a suicide.

It is reported that she was pregnant.

The suspect was a monk who had an affair with her and made her pregnant. He had help with disappearing the woman.

Nobody was ever charged with the murder.

The monks had a habit of exchanging land for silence.

Not all transfer of land by the monks were connected to this case.

Some land transfers were perfectly legitimate.

The priest who tells this story knows all the details and the names of the people involved.

He is not naming names as some of the deceased woman’s relatives still live on the area

I do not know the year of these happenings.

As we know from recent revelations many babies and orphans died in religious houses and were buried in secret graves.

It’s perfectly plausible that a number of women and men perished in monasteries etc and their fates were never made known

Mellifont is in the Archdiocese of Armagh.

Is the account of the Mellifont killing held in Armagh’s secret archives.

AND if there are still people alive who knew about this killing do they not have a moral obligation to report it to the Gardai?

Is the woman and her baby not crying out for justice from the grave?

I sincerely hope that if anyone with information, still alive, would come forward. Is this a truth and fact that a pregnant woman was buried in a well at Melifont? What decade are we talking about? I trust this isn’t a hearsay story. Might it have been better to try to establish some reliable evidence, if any, before you wrote abiut this story? All kinds of theories will be presented and the monks will be vilified. TRUTH MATTERS.

As we have taken from the sensational revelations about Ryan McAleer and other issues, Armagh is a very concerning problem for the RCC in Ireland at the moment.
Questions remain:
– Has Ryan McAleer given an account or answered the allegation?
– Is he still ministering as a priest of the diocese?
– Who is funding his drunken Belgian ‘mistakes’ and unnecessary PhD?
– Why is a secondary school in the Dungannon area forging links with Maynooth and Leuven University, with apparent links to Ryan McAleer?
– Was there a canonical investigation in Armagh in 2020 into his misbehaviour? What were the details of this process and outcome?
– Are the current two universities he studies at aware of his history?

As this involves the Cistercians, cover up and lies are their default. The OCSO like to portray an order made up of devout and holy men and women. This is far from reality. The Cistercians are made up of many individuals who are devious and callous. They treat each other appallingly. Bullying and abuse are rife within monasteries. The Cistercians use people with little regard for their human dignity. Monasteries like Roscrea are in free-fall, mismanaged for years. The Cistercians will reap what they sow.

No, I’m not ‘tripping’, and you’re wrong. We aren’t talking about the present-day Republic of Ireland, but as it was decades ago. A period very much the ‘good oul days’ of Roman Catholic Church influence on Irish society.
Pat reckons the incident occurred sometime between 1950 and 1970. It may even have happened earlier, say, before 17 April 1949, when the Irish Free State became the Republic of Ireland. If Pat is right, the influence of the Roman Catholic Church on Irish society was at its zenith. It is not an intellectual stretch to believe, at least as plausible, that this church had the power at the time to cover up something as wilful even as murder by one of its monks.

The priest is more than morally bound to report to the police what he knows about this incident: he is legally bound to do so.

And yet, this priest is both alive AND in the know, but is remaining silent. So, it appears, are you, by refusing to condemn his silence directly.

So, why would her relatives want the incident kept quiet? Aren’t you being presumptive? It makes no sense at all that poor woman’s relatives would not want this brought into the open, and thoroughly investigated to rule out, or in, foul play. But it DOES make sense that the Romanists, especially the Cistercians, would prefer to keep this matter buried, as it were.

3.52: Pat, I’m amazed at this blog today: you posted a story which no one seems to have been aware of except a priest informant. No one so far today has given any credible information. You have allowed what “may” be a very tragic story to be used by commenters to vent their fury at the monks. Did your priest informer give a year in which this supposedly happened? I do not agree with the vitriol being published without corroborated facts. If your priest reporter is supposed to have fulfilled all his ethical and legal responsibilities, why do we not know what decade we are referring to? Do you know if the incident is being pursued by civil authorities? Are the Melifont monks being investigated?

Like

I don’t know the year. The monks went to Mellifont in 1938.

I think we are talking 1950 to 1970.

From this date forward this blog, with the agreement of Bishop Patrick Buckley, will be exposing wrongdoing and cover-ups within the Archdiocese of Armagh. We the AAG are a collection of professionals, survivors and laity who feel the time has come to address serious matters publicly.
Matters pertaining to among others, Rev Fr Ryan McAleer are but one avenue which will be pursued. We will also be investigating the recreational activities, thought to be of public interest, of several clerics in neighbouring parishes to Dungannon, Keady, Mullaghbawn, Lower Killeavy and Magherafelt. We are self funded and undeterred.
