BILL MULVIHILL PUBLISHES CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND EAMON MARTIN.

BILL
EAMON

PAT SAYS

Publishing this correspondence is important because the correspondence from bishops, and between bishops and priests rarely sees the light of day.

Most priests would be afraid to publish their bishops letters to them because it would lead to punishment, exile and perhaps total dismissal.

Bill has no fear of that.

TO BILL FROM BILL’S SOLICITOR

On 27 Sep 2018, at 9:48 am


Dear William,

In relation to your case with the archdiocese. I value your trust and your complete authority to conduct this negotiation as I see fit. I believe that it is an extremely delicate negotiation and I must proceed to maximise the amount of funds and resources made available to provide for you into the future. I think that I should approach the situation diplomatically with that end in mind.

I propose to write to the Archbishop today opening the conversation. I will do so in a highly diplomatic fashion that will on the face of it express sympathy for both positions but in reality it will have one purpose and that is to help you achieve your end to the greatest degree possible. In my view you are owed a duty of case and I think the church should accept that without too much controversy. However, we will see.

Regards,

Cahir

FROM EAMON MARTIN’S SOLICITOR.

​
Dear Sirs
​
We refer to the above matter and to our recent discussion and correspondence.
​
As you are aware an Administrator was placed in the parish formerly lead by your client over the weekend.​ This was dealt with personally by our client and the appointment was explained to the parishioners.

Our client has reflected on the issues over the weekend and we have discussed several approaches with him and we are instructed to forward the following;

1.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Our client is mindful of the situation facing your client and, as he has previously expressed, would ask your client to take time to reflect on the decisions before him;
2.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ To assist your client we are to suggest that our client would grant your client a 6 month leave of absence which would be extended by a further 6 months if needed.​ At the end of the required period your client would then advise of his final decision (we will advise of our belief on those decisions at the end of this exchange);
3.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Whilst on his period of leave your client would not retain his faculties as a priest but would continue to be a priest of the Archdiocese of Armagh;
4.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Our client would maintain your client with a stipend (around €1700 per month) to be paid to a bank account nominated by your client;
5.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Our client would further contribute a sum towards accommodation costs for your client (sum to be discussed);
6.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Your client would take the time to rest and reflect and, if he feels it is appropriate, seek assistance to aid his reflection;
7.​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Your client will maintain this channel of communication and will not insult our client, the Church or figures in the Church on any social media or other forum.
​
We believe this is a reasonable approach and one which will assist in achieving a fair outcome for all concerned.
​
As we understand things your client has declared that he wishes to renounce the Church completely so we would ask that he takes time to reflect on a huge decision for someone who has pursued a life within that Church.​ Ultimately your client will need to decide if he wishes to renounce his Church, or if he remains within the Church if he wishes to leave the priesthood or if ultimately he wishes to return to his role as a priest.​ This is a graduated decision process and we accept it will take time.
​
Finally an issue has arisen within the Parish.​ Your client has locked the house and our client and the Administrator need to access the property as the various baptism registers and marriage rolls are stored there.​ Children may need their Baptism records for First Communion and Confirmation and so it is essential that our client can access the property.​ We would ask that your client return the keys (via this office if that is easier) as a matter of urgency.
​
We await hearing from you with your comment and with proposals to return the keys.
​
Thank you
​
Yours

FROM BILLS PROPOSED LANDLORD

FROM CAHIR TO BILL

HI William,

I am anxious to have a meeting with yourself and Karl, to firm up on our strategy going forward and how we are going to achieve the unconditional exit you want but with appropriate financial recompense.

Would any time on Friday suit you?

I think we need to have a very clear pathway to what we want mapped out and take it from there.

Kind regards,
Cahir

Archbishop Martin comes out of this correspondence a lot better than Bill does. The Archbishop is kind, considerate, sensitive and caring. It’s a pity the person he was writing to does not display the same qualities.

5.57 His final letters are missing only one thing: the invoice numbers.
He writes entirely different from both the content and tone of his speech at that March meeting we had….where I got the coffees. Few bishops are kind, considerate, sensitive or caring. Eamon Martin certainly is not. As Drury opined on hearing of his appointment ” he will be very efficient but he will never be loved.” Cold and clinical to the depth of his purchased soul. WM

If you knew beforehand that “many letters are written with a view as to who apart from the intended will read/see them”, then why on earth did you have Pat publish them, Mr Mulvihill?

You have made an appalling lapse of good judgement. This has completely backfired on you.

If Eamon Martin is as “cold and clinical” as you said, then he must be rubbing his hands in glee at your having handed him such a victory. And on the very social medium on which you periodically insult him??

You have made a public laughing-stock of yourself.

I doubt that Eamon Martin is as you described. After this massive faux pas, I simply don’t trust your judgement.

If anything, I suspect that Eamon Martin will pray for you over the very public mess you have created for yourself.

I agree with you, at 9.57 p.m. Bill has done himself absolutely no favours in publishing this private correspondence.

Archbishop Martin comes across as paternally kind and considerate; Bill, on the other hand…

If Bill was hoping to embarrass the archbishop, he certainly has not succeeded.

Isn’t there something in the correspondence, an agreement that Bill was not to insult the archbishop on social media? As they say, ‘that went well, didn’t it? It’s good to know that Bill is a man of his word.

Bishop Buckley, I am very surprised that you agreed to publish this correspondence. What point was Bill hoping to make? The action shows extremely poor judgment on Bill’s part. And, it has to be said, on yours, too.

Bill has gained nothing positive from this; in fact, he has made himself look both petulant and foolish.

Did you, Bishop Buckley, advise Bill that this might be how he would be perceived pre-publication? I cannot believe that a man of your intelligence, journalistic talent, and good heart did not forsee this, and advise against it.

Yes, clerical pampering, privilege and entitlement is obvious from this correspondence, all of it related to Mulvihill.

That arrangement between Mulvihill and Martin makes me incredibly angry. How dare any diocese squander people’s money in this way! Never again will I give any money to the Church. This has sickened me! If I left my job, I’d get a month’s salary, and that’s it. Period! This guy Mulvihill walks away with a years salary and accommodation grant. Plus! While he was genteely figuring out his future, the effort was again financially supported by Armagh archdiocese.

Having read these correspondences twice I can arrive at only one conclusion. Archbishop Martin has behaved honourably, generously, impeccably, caringly and very pastorally. He gave Bill time to think and reflect and offered him every opportunity to walk a harmonious and peaceful pathway, without hurt or judgment. The behaviour now of Bill on your blog is totally disingenuous and a devious recall of events, wanting us to believe he was a victim. This is untrue from all the correspondence. Even Bill’s solicitors are far more conciliatory towards The Archbishop than Bill wants. They were trying wisely to advice their client. To date only Archbishop Martin is unblemished but regrettably both Pat and Bill are revealed as a duo of mischief makers. I agree with the comments from DP and Chris. Only recently I expressed the view that Bill had Pat doing his dirty work. So far, the information does not paint either Pat or Bill in a good light. I feel sad for you Pat but have zero sympathy for Bill. The Archbishop’s letter is exceptionally kind, conciliatory and full of Christian compassion. The big loser is Bill. My God, he was so well looked after despite his petty games.

There was a song sung by first holy communion children in preparatiin for 1st penance – Zaccheus was a greedy little man – of which Bill will be aware.

What a pathetic action for Bill to take in the hope he’d be getting more and more.

9.57: I agree wholeheartedly with your conclusion: Archbishop Martin stands head and shoulders above Bill in his calm, reasonable and measured approach. No threats of any kind, no judgments but a sincere acceptance of Bill’s decision. I also believe what Chris at 11.03 states: “..that Pat’s journalistic objectivity has been compromised by William Mulvihill..” I stated before that Pat’s attachment to and dependence on Bill for whatever reason was unwise and could lead to egregious injury. I hope Pat can redeem himself from the hooks of Bill.

Mr. Mulvihill cannot complain about the offer of a severance package given to him. People in the world of commerce and economic
work cannot walk out of their job and demand five figure sums of money and gratituities to pay for a car, accomodation and travel. In priesthood all these matters are the responsibility of the priest himself. I agree that a year’s salary is acceptable as a way of supporting the priest. Bill has received or is being offrred much. He chose to disavow his baptism, priesthood and church. Recently my sister retired from being a secretary in a huge school after 27 yesrs due to ill health. She most certainly did not receive anything like Bill’s offer. She didn’t complain. Why Bill is choosing to share these letters is very questionable because the only man left standing with human decency and dignity is the Archbishop. I pray that you, Pat, will not be tainted by your relationship with Bill.

Pat, I am a big supporter of you but this Mr. Mullivill debacle would need to come to and end quickly. If you have a strategy Pat, the drip feed approach is certainly not helping. If there is some form of reverse psychology in play, the Mullivill case is in no way helped by publishing these letters, in fact, the opposite is achieved.
If there is a big reveal, it needs to be expedited because your goodwill and perhaps a certain over generous naivety on your part is being tested.
I don’t know what information you have but, if Mr. Mullivill is overplaying his hand, you need to protect your legacy that you spoke about recently.
It is a curious case and I respect your judgement, but please exercise caution and bring this to an early conclusion.

Bill Mulvihill has a high sense of entitlement. The rented property he got the diocese to pay for is in in the very desirable town of Greystones. Only the best for Bill.

Bishop Secretary’s are always an interesting one.
Why are they chosen? Is the relationship purely ecclesiastical or is there a hidden agenda pertaining to sexual or emotional preference.
Is the older man in a position of power in some way manipulating the younger man.
Conry was close to Bruno Heim
Elsie close to Worlock and Hume
Nursie’s secretary has been with him nigh on 13 or 14 years. He has never worked in a parish.
Elsie used to get through private secretary’s like a dose of salt in Birmingham and Westminster too – depending on the favour or not of the Nun!

Bishop Patrick, have you contacts in Meath? Could you ask them if there has been any recent departures?

I’ve heard of one. But my informer has not given me permission to use.

Bishop Patrick, if your informer is a priest and they has not given you permission to use, perhaps one of your lay friends in Tullamore might be able to assist in this particular instance?

I imagine the Meath departure is one of those who were ordained within the last 5 years. That’s the usual craic nowadays.

I would hope that Bill Mulvihill would not have had the misfortune of crossing paths with Fr Ryan McAleer. This man is openly parading his lovers in public. Drunken escapades in Belfast when at home. Would Bill be interested in discussing further? If not…. fair enough. What is Bill’s view on the ultra arrogant Ryan McAleer? Should he be banished? Or does money talk with that connection and Amy Martin…..? From what we are hearing in this diocese…it is the only thing keeping him in…and of course what he is threatening to tell….

5.56 I sent Ryan an email in 2018 ( as Paul Murphy ) and had two phone conversations with him telling him to leave. I actually think I understand what has happened Ryan, I am both disappointed and sad. I did not know him well but was well versed on his files…he gave Brady and E Martin a good run for their money but they won, they drove him into the ground. He was a good person, I have no idea how he his…I mailed him 2 months ago..no response. He is now part of the carnage of the Roman Catholic Church. I hope he avoids a conviction and moves on with his life. To be very honest, at one stage he reminded me of myself when I was a conservative little prick. I grew out of it quickly. Bill Mulvihill

This 100%. Bill never shuts up about money yet he got a “redundancy” payment of more than 1 years salary, housing paid for and various other bits, NONE of which he was entitled to in any jurisdiction anywhere! He resigned and was entitled to nothing! This nonsense, money hunger and living in financial La La land seems to be a significant factor with priests. He has relentlessly abused Amy, constantly slagged off other priests with unsubstantiated allegations and been a financial liability to the diocese. His political opinions are nonsense ( pro- Russia – are you mad Bill?). Much like Ger Fitz he expects a free financial life. Ridiculous.

Well, I have read the correspondence thoroughly and the numerous comments. Now I would like to comment.
1) Archbishop Martin has been very compassionate to Mr. Mulvihill. The archdiocese has supported him financially. WM should be thanking them but is in effect very ungrateful. All of this has come out very clear in the correspondence.
2) DG and anonymous are quite correct about PTSD. Letter dated 6h October proves this.
3) For a long time, WM has been dominating the blog withe nonsense statements and corrections to nonsense statements. He has been rambling too long. MC ranted and raved (despite a lot of patience and tolerance from PB) and was banned. WM needs the same treatment.
4) The general consensus on the blog today is that the Archbishop’s reputation has soared and WM’s has gone down the plug hole. Even some of the Archbishop’s vehement critics have seen him in a better light and been very supportive. WM has shot himself in the foot big time. Let us all hope that he has not shot this blog and blogger in the foot.
5) WM has been well looked after and all he shows are boulders on his shoulders.
6) I do think PB should come off the fence and declare where he stands on this issue and not just leave it to the readers.
7) Let us all hope and pray that WM gets inner peace and gets on with his life.

His Grace Archbishop Eamon Martin cannot apply to laicize you until 2024 as the New Canon Law changes state that it is after five years the Ordinary can apply for automatic laicization.
Just now you would need to apply or the Archbishop would need to start a costly Canonical trail so he will not start a trail as you would not cooperate so he will wait the five years and it will be applied.
Why you denouce your Baptism and will not apply to be laisized is the way you opperate.
Save the date 2024 however it could change till 2025 if the Canon Lawyers decide your last day was once the settlement year was up.
