WAS PAEDOPHILE PRIEST A BRITISH AGENT?

Belfast Telegraph

https://m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/courts/psni-unlawfully-refused-to-disclose-whether-paedophile-priest-was-state-informer-court-told-41969509.html

Police have unlawfully refused to disclose whether or not an alleged prolific paedophile priest was a state informer, the High Court heard today.

Counsel for a victim of child sexual abuse claimed the PSNI has breached his human rights by maintaining a policy of neither confirming nor denying the suspected status of the late Fr Malachy Finnegan.

Judgment was reserved in the legal bid to have the force compelled to act on requests for information about the cleric’s alleged role as an agent.

Finnegan, who died in 2002, has been accused of a campaign of abuse while a teacher at St Colman’s College in Newry.

He worked at the school between 1967 and 1987, spending the last decade as its president.

PAT SAYS

MALACHY FINNEGAN, priest, teacher and headmaster was a prolific paedophile over many years.

He targetted generations of Newry schoolboys and destroyed many lives.

And when he died the RCC afforded him a full priest’s funeral presided over by the bishop JOHN MC AREAVEY.

Mc Areavey had to resign when the truth about Finnegan emerged.

A BRITISH AGENT

It has now emerged that Finnegan, who lived in Republican Newry, was a British agent!

Was he given exemption from prosecution in return for giving the Brits information?

It looks like it.

How many people suffered because of Finnegan’s supply of information we will never know.

CAHAL DALY

Cahal Daly once asked me to give information to the RUC and chief constable Sir John Hermon.

I immediately replied to him: “Do you not think there are enough informers in Northern Ireland as it is without the priests starting”?

There are many hidden things that have happened in Ireland when it comes to Church collusion with the state.

There have been bishops and priests who have colluded with the state.

There have also been clerics who colluded with the paramilitaries.

And there have been occasional clerics who have blood on their hands.

If Finnegan was being protected by the RUC in return for intelligence (presumably on Irish republicans), then at least one person abused by him must have reported the abuse to the police. Was it Kevin Winter’s client?
What kind of information on republicans would Finnegan have been privvy to? Did he move in republican circles? Was he a militant republican himself and trusted with secret information?
For Finnegan to become an RUC informant, he must have had access to good intelligence. Did he obtain it, for example, through the GAA? In the confessional from republicans themselves and then break its seal by reporting this to the police?
I doubt whether the judge in this case will rule in favour of Winter’s client.
It is an awful situation to be in, but, sometimes, police forces the world over, including An Garda Síochána, have to look the other way with criminals IF it is in the public interest.

You are wrong, 9.26.
Both An Garda Síochána and the PSNI have said that the so-called ‘Army Council’ of the PIRA is in charge of Sinn Fein, which is why I would never even consider voting for Sinn Fein.
Other republican groups remain active in NI and the ROI.
Both police forces still need to gather intelligence on these people, which means that informants still have to be protected. What potential informant would supply intelligence to the police if he knew that at some stage his identity would be revealed under a court order?
NI is still under threat from terrorists on both sides of the political divide. This is not going to change any time soon. Nor should police tactics on either side of the ROI/NI border.

It may also have been in the interest of the RUC not to charge Finnegan with any sexual crime against boys. Back then, such a police charge against a Catholic priest would have further raised anti-RUC ire among Northern Ireland nationalists/republicans (overwhelmingly Catholic), because the scandal of clerical paedophilia had not then broken. The RUC would not have been believed; a Catholic priest would.

McGahon said he was 17 when a senior IRA member being sheltered in his home sexually assaulted him. After the attack, McGahon said his attacker warned him, “Listen, if you ever open your mouth about this to anybody, you’ll be found on a border road.”
McGahon said he told a local leader in Sinn Fein about the rape in 2002 and had to endure what he called a “kangaroo court” in his own home. He wrote in an article for the March 14 Independent that he was “quizzed by shadowy men from the IRA.”
McGahon said he planned to go on TV in silhouette with an actor dubbing over his distinctive Louth brogue but then decided not to hide anything.
“I was all too aware that I was taking on a powerful monster with limitless resources and a record of burying anyone who has ever tried to expose the truth at the centre of its rotten heart,” McGahon wrote.
“Sinn Féin and the IRA are one entity; a cross between the mafia and a cult. So a few sad childhood rape victims would be easily swatted away and silenced. It has one leader, Gerry Adams, who has remained untouched in that position for well over 30 years, unlike any other democratic political organization. And no one dares question the leader who is looked on as God.”
In McGahon’s case, he said IRA members eventually told him that his attacker had admitted to the abuse. McGahon was given options as to how he wanted him punished.
“The first one was for them to deal with it—put a bullet in the back of his head,” McGahon told the BBC. “It was said with such ease you knew that it wouldn’t be a problem.” In the end McGahon opted for another choice: the expulsion of his attacker to Britain.

What are you on about? Doesn’t it trouble you that members of IRA-Sinn Fein raped young people and then set about systemically and systematically covering it up, just like the Catholic Church?

No, I don’t think it troubles you at all. I think you’re embarrassed that glorified Irish republican terrorists were as morally squalid in their sexual abuse of children as was/is the Catholic Church.

IRA rape culture is bad, but it is doubled with shootings and kneecappings. The cove- up is not church style shuffling. It entails physical threats to complainants. The article I linked to seems to be rattling some IRA fan. Here is some more of it:
“I learned of people who the IRA moved to safe houses, who then went on to abuse children,” Cahill wrote. “Of young children who made allegations against prominent republicans of unwanted sexual contact, who were told they were lying by family members to stop social services being told because it created an embarrassment for the IRA. I heard first-hand of allegations that victims were raped at gunpoint, or threatened with being killed so they wouldn’t disclose their abuse. I was told of people who went ‘on the run’, who attacked children, and who were then moved on and attacked them again.”
Adams admitted last week that he had been informed on McGahon’s rape in 2009 but said he did not learn the identity of his abuser until contacted by the BBC two weeks ago. The scandal has become a political free-for-all in Ireland as Prime Minister Enda Kenny accused Adams of not being truthful about what he knows about the IRA sex abuse. Adams branded Kenny’s charges “despicable.”

Thanks for the link.

I enjoyed this documentary.

McDowell doesn’t mince his words about the perniciously overbearing and over-arching influence of the RCC in Ireland from around the middle of the 19th century until well into the second half of the 20th.

A statistic that particularly struck me, given the deeply impoverished demographics at the time, was the building programne of churches from 1829 until the early 20th century: 3000 of them, in addition to 16 cathedrals.

These buidings bore no resemblance whatever to churches built before the period: these, typically, were glorified stone barns with dirt floors, plain, simple, and relatively inexpensive. Contrast these with the archtectural sumptuousness and grandiosity of church buildings after 1829 (and, incidentally, during the Famine years, of 1845 to 1849). This programme, whose catalyst was Cardinal Paul Cullen, must have cost, in today’s money, literally tens of millions.

Meanwhile, the poor continued poor, and the poorest of them starved to death. But what are a few nondescripts ad majorem dei (‘to the greater glory of God’).

Yes, an interesting broad sweep of the evolution of Irish catholicisms monolithic power culminating with the Eucharistic Congress of 1932, including how it wielded power, which continues to a far lesser extent
in contemporary Ireland. The church had significant influence on public opinion. The last prelate with strong social and political interests was Archbishop McQuaid. He is rightly credited with developing social services in Ireland. Archbishop Dermot Martin suggests the problems in contemporary Irish church stem from the 1960s. Yet we know the Irish hierarchy acknowledged problematic clerics in the 1940s. Mary Mc Aleese comments on Sodano including, comments of Cardinals in Rome on child sexual abuse speaks volumes. Michael Woods obviously did Trojan work for the hierarchy with hundreds of millions paid out by the State as compensation for clerical shenanigans. There is nothing new under the sun. Praised be Jesus Christ!

There could have been a very simple solution to Finnegan and his prolific criminal abuse, and that would have been for the IRA to have found out about his informing, and eliminating him from the scene – probably with a bullet to the head. That would have solved both problems. And protected the innocents on all sides that he was hurting through his criminality and disloyalty.

He hid behind a bunch of fellow bishops untouchable by normal standards of the law and who went out of their way to protect one of the most corrupt of their species.

But not without cost to God. And the cost is multiplied many times by the number of those calling upon him.

I find the seal of confession repugnant, and if the church were really intending to stop people confessing and getting away with child abuse would have got rid of it.
I think it would be possible to have sacramental confession where the penitent confesses silently and the priest absolves. If you can make a spiritual communion you can make a spiritual confession.
The church could make it plain on a policy level that if you’re there to confess a crime you need to turn yourself in.

The end destiny of his present trajectory is a complete implosion. It’s psychologically curious by way of a case study to observe the dynamics of Bills inner angst, rage and turmoils. I wish him well and hope he uses his energies more constructively. Otherwise his rage will overcome him. Bill, you’re a young man. Let you not waste your life.

6.22: Bill Mulvihill has portrayed himself as a man of monstrous contradictions. He has an identity crisis, a humanity crisis. He writes pretentiously, enigmatically and confusingly. He mangles the beautiful English language. Regrettably, he’s determined to do so.

7.50: How simplistic an analysis! Then you almost delight that China is sucking it all up but you forgot to mention China has a gruesome record on human rights, it’s treatment and destruction of the dispossessed and cultural and ethnical entities. Oh yes, come on China!!

8.19: Pat, now you need to put your cards in the table. So, an abuser comes to you in confession and tells you about his sexual abuses. Once I would hear those words I would have to explain the moral responsibility for him and myself. Can we knowingly protect an abuser? Does the seal of confession give us an opt out card to protect an abuser? NO.

I have done quite a lot of work with pedophiles. Nearly all of them pleaded innocence.

So, you cant explain, then. Which means you hadn’t a clue what you were talking about.😕

7.53 There is nothing beautiful whatsoever about the English language. It is the most banal of all tongues. Since your conclusions are structured on such a vacuous claim, no need for me to deconstruct your idle edifice of insult.

As a Brit, I would love to have ALL the Irish back within the fold. For one thing, the Irish are the greatest warriors the world has known.

Bit you allow women who claim abuse by priests on this to ‘abuse’ them and use this platform to do so, even unfairly …
How does that work…
An eye for an eye ….

Bill at 5:25. Royal family’s should be left to Disney. In todays age there is no logical need for them. That having been said, as a Republican, I offer full condolences to the British for the loss of a very gracious lady

Problem with a republic is you end up with scoundrel presidents like Mickey Higgins, McAllese and Robinson who cant keep their nose out of politics.

Serial killers nearly all plead innocense too, can’t admit not only have they issues but they are genuinely distorted hurting the most innocent people in life that don’t deserve …I have watched thousands of documentaries on the different between someone drinks and snaps and kills someone in comparison to someone that genuinely enjoys killing people , they always deny even 20 plus yrs in prison they are sick beyond human comprehension and they know it

I would engage the person in every way I could to prevent further abuse. I would ask the person to work with me outside the Confessional.

Very noble – and what then if they don’t cooperate?

A waste of time – and in the meantime other children could be at risk.

I believe the sacrament of reconciliation is very important but I would treat it like a Doctor or counsellor/therapist. Everything I’m told will be held in the strictest confidence unless someone is at risk by what you tell me – then I’ll go to whoever I need to.

How do you know what God wants you cretin. The Church has always taught you do penance for your sins. Nothing to do with a change of heart that’s only in the mind of woke ejits like you.🙄

Is there really a need to go to a priest to seek absolution? The priest doesn’t have the right nor the authority to forgive sins. We all forgive each other having confessed to each other. This isn’t the sole right of a priest. Having confessed and repented to each other we are ultimately forgiven by God. The only mediator between us and God is Christ himself. All this say 2 Hail Marys and one our father in order to be forgiven or to show our repentance is a load of codswallop. Christ died for our sins. The veil of the temple was rent in two . God knows our hearts and when we are truly sorry. Not some priest from ballygobackwards
