EAMON MARTIN REFUTES BULLYING ALLEGATIONS IN ANONYMOUS LETTER.

MY EMAIL TO EM

Dear Eamon,

I enclose a letter I received in the post and wanted to ask you for a comment / response.

Pat

EM TO ME

Dear Pat,​

​

I refer to your email of earlier today, 26th August 2022, which included a copy of a letter which you received in the post.

​

There is no basis for the accusations set out within the letter. They are entirely without foundation, untrue and designed to simply cause scandal and upset.

​

I would be grateful if you could advise as to whether the author of the letter has identified themselves to you so that I can consider the legal remedies open to those identified by it.​

Yours Sincerely,

Eamon

ME TO EM

Dear Eamon,

I received it anonymously in the post.

I believe it is from an Armagh priest.

I’m told it is circulating among the Armagh priests and others.

Pat

PAT SAYS,

I regularly get these kinds of letters from priests and others.

In justice and fairness I cannot just accept them at face value without supporting evidence.

In this case I emailed EM to ask him about the matter. As you can see, he completely denied the allegations in the letter – allegations of bullying.

Obviously he considered legal action against the writer – perhaps on behalf of the other person mentioned – a lay person.

I was sincerely not able to help him with the writer’s identity – as I did not know the identity.

In any event, as a journalist, I would protect my sources.

It’s very important to try and provide evidence and or witnesses whenever we make an allegation.

It is also good practice to give accused parties the right of reply.

Sadly the church and clergy often refuse to comment or engage.

In this instance, Eamon Martin is to be complimented for his swift reply.

If this was RCC practice they would encounter much less misunderstanding and criticism.

So, this guy, Blackal, despite being described as a priest, wasn’t really a priest, since he had been ‘never lawfully called, nor made minister by any bishop’. Am I right?

What does ‘truded’ mean? Anyone? I tried looking up this Middle English word, but could find no entry for it. Clearly, a now-redundant word.

Like

It’s probably short for “extruded”.

I once heard about some people who had been promised (I forget by whom) that they were going to be “inserted into” the church.

Like

In English you can intrude (thrust yourself in) or extrude something (force it out), from the Latin trudere, to thrust. So as you say, a defunct word meaning thrust or forced.
He’d forced himself into the priesthood, intruded into the presyterate, or thrust himself into the clerical state.

12.06: I have always thought Archbishop Martin to be a kindly man, courteous and reasonable. With Mulvihill’s shenanigans against him, he came up trumps and honourably. In responding to Pat he is swift and ciurtdiys. He too, the Archbishop, has to be very careful and circumspect in accepting any anonymous complaints via a third person who insists in protecting his sources. Why would any person allow themselves be drawn into Pat’s spiders web? Well donevagain Archbishop. Why are you Pat playing games with an anonymous letter? Some priests are deserving of a tough response sometimes from their Bishop.

Like

Are you suggesting being kind courteous and reasonable while swiftly responding to correspondence might merit some form of ecclesiastical canonization? I suspect episcopal leaders check the veracity of anonymous accusations just in case a legal web looms on the horizon.

Ah, clergy bullying ! Like everything else to do with the clergy, there is nothing new. Bullying by priests and bishops has been around forever – bishops bullying priests, parish priests bullying their curates, priests bullying lay employees etc. However, like so much of the underbelly of the clerical beast – like sexual abuse, sexual incontinence, financial irregularity, dysfunctional clerical behaviour and lifestyle – it has been brought to the light and cannot be ignored any more. In the behaviour and bullying stakes, the increasing appointment of lay chief executives in dioceses and the regularisation and implementation of employment and other policies, which are seen as the norm in the secular world of work, means that there is now a process that can be followed in cases of clergy misbehaviour such as bullying. Church lay employees have also recognised that their clergy have feet of clay and can be wrong, as well as having a decreasing deference and respect for clergy generally, so they are willing to escalate complaints given that there is now a mechanism and a process. I would expect in most cases the lay chief executive who is dealing with the complaint will do all in his power to ensure that the process follows the informal route, usually meaning the parties get together and come to some sort of accord with some kind of recognition of misbehaviour and apology by the priest as part of the process. This keeps it out of a formal more legal route, and probably out of the public knowledge / press. I know of several cases where senior clergy have had to apologise for their behaviour to other clergy, parishioners and staff. Thankfully, the days of the clergy ruling the roost and being unaccountable have gone, by and large. As Cpl Jones said, however, “they don’t like it up ’em”. Mostly…..!

I suspect there are a few senior clergy who are worried now that this matter of bullying has raised its head of + Pat’s blog. Will they get named ? Will they be shamed ?

7:59 is doing the thing which is either a psychological trick to avoid facing the reality or a PR trick to avoid telling other people the reality, of minimizing the problem. The sad thing is 7:59 might actually think there are only two or three problematic priests.
It’s exactly the same thing as saying that abuse was carried on by a few bad apples.
Or as misusing the statistic about the proportion of priest abusers being the same as in any other walk of life. It conveniently ignores the fact that 100% of bishops covered it up, and that there were peaks of abuse in some places.
Another one is to place the problem away from where you are, like the comments here saying abusers wear polyester.
What is clear is the church is still nowhere near ready to admit it has a problem and so I can promise you the scandals won’t be over for decades yet.

Anonymous allegations of bullying and/or other issues are just that. Correctly Pat you didn’t publish and did the right thing.
Unfortunately like a number of other readers here I am not prepared to judge Eamon Martin until further evidence. He came out of the Bill Mulvihill issue quite well. Bill had plenty of moaning about Eamon but had absolutely no evidence. You published his letters which showed Bill to be an angry, spoilt child and made Eamon look like a saint. Eamon certainly has a few naughty priests under his umbrella but I’d say there’s no bishop in Ireland without these problems.
