SAFEGUARDING – ENDANGERMENT IN MOTHERWELL DIOCESE.

From a Scottish reader

Morris was one of 8 priests who attended the annual Education Mass on Thursday night-it had been rescheduled due to the strikes. He is at the far left next to Fr Hughes and Fr Lamb. You can also see Deacon Colum Martin, who, of course, made national news in Scotland. Schools took bus loads of pupils as representatives – surely this is a safeguarding issue? A teacher friend of my wife described it as a ‘beautiful Mass’ – if only people knew what was stood before them on the altar!!!!

TMTBCT can be a bit rambling at times but those twitter comments are actually astounding. You wouldn’t expect them from some scheme rat as opposed to a supposed man of the cloth.
What a scumbag.

Given his profession, it probably isn’t the most offensive thing you’ll find on his internet history

PAT SAYS

What is going on in Motherwell Diocese and in the Catholic Church in Scotland in general?

Not only are sexually active seminarians welcome in ministry – but so are people who have stirred up sectarian strife.

If a school takes children to places by bus it must do so with adequate supervision. All schools have safeguarding policies which are discussed at every school board meeting and frequently an audit is completed by the board. Any issues re: child safeguarding are discussed. Supervision in school yard is a requirement and is also a requirement on school tours or trips of any kind. I don’t see why your reporter has expressed concerns about safeguarding by pupils travelling to a mass! What is he insinuating? Certainly in the Irish school system strict guidelines are laid down for all trips, including inter school games. The safeguarding requirements has put an end to parents or guardians taking children to games. Buses are now hired at a considerable cost and adequate supervision is assured. The volunteerism in schools and parishes is now a difficult reality because of safeguarding protocols but I wouldn’t have any volunteers unless all are vetted. It’s an absolute requirement. What are the concerns of your Scottish contact? Can We have clarity….?

Misconduct by Clergy, Personnel & Volunteers & associates in any roles representing the Roman Catholic Churchsays:

Is contrary to Christian teaching and values.
For concerned members of the public finding a priest who has celebrated a sacrament to be later credibly accused of any manner of misconduct, there is no need to re-baptize the person or to renew the marriage vows if the sacrament was celebrated by one of these priests.
A credible claim is defined as one that under the circumstances known at the time of determination would cause a prudent person to conclude that there was a significant possibility that the incident occurred. Contact your own lawyer specialising in church related abuse for further guidance.

9.30: I’m at a loss as to how you can make such an interpretation of my rational and reasonable comment. “..A note of desperation, compensating, covering up…”..all your words!! A very weird interpretation! My credentials re: child safeguarding are absolutely 100% commitment and fastidious. My personal experiences in the past alerted me to such long before any guidelines. 9.52: “..festering resentment..”. Crazy comment. In my particular capacity child safeguarding is top of agenda at school board and parish pastoral council meetings. I regret that we find it difficult to get volunteers at schools and parishes because of people’s genuine concerns about the implications for them regarding safeguarding. But all required protocols are an imperative for me. Simple as. I have nothing to cover-up…

Oh, I forgot….they are all part of the same clerical club and have a duty to look after each other !

9:37 It has often been commented that it seems like an organization gets a reputation for being soft among paedophiles and so paedophiles flock to it. We all have heard the phrase paedophile ring and while things have changed slightly in the age of the internet their main aim of access to children remains unchanged so they will still look for soft targets.
The reality remains that safeguarding in the RC church is at best lip service and I can confidently say that I don’t think it will have ceased to be a destination for abusers.
If you are reading this and thinking that I’m wrong because it’s changed, that is exactly why your church remains a dangerous place, because I keep reading here a total absence of understanding of how these things actually work, to the extent that you’re virtually thinking it can’t happen. It’s like you’ve returned to the state you were in before the scandal broke, so there’s next to nothing stopping it continuing.
More generally priesthood in a church notorious for abuse will be a magnet for people with all sorts of problems up to and including actual psychopathy. They reason that you’ve been ordaining child rapists, so you’ll turn a blind eye to anything else, and they’re right. This becomes worse as decent men revolted by the trail of traumatized children, don’t come forward and bishops are even more likely to ordain the perverted, antisocial, etc.
But tell us again how the church can’t err.

Sorry, but that is exactly how I think when I am confronted with clergy.

@10:16: ” lack of revolt”: an interesting phrase worth thinking about.
Why no revolt?
….customary deference to clergy; now ebbing away, and accelerating.
….the ‘herd mentality’; of just following family and local neighbourhood practices; now becoming less relevant with greater mobility and more fluid family organisation.
…. despite greater publicity, relatively little awareness of RCC misdeeds especially amongst older churchgoers.
….lack of significant alternatives for meaningful shared activities;
There’s other factors, but evidently the tide is turning against the RCC: not tsunami like, but groundswell-like, but also with regular crashing storm surges against the ‘rock of Peter ‘s’ clerical abuses, mismanagement and sheer ineptitude.

Like

10:16 The revolt has actually happened but isn’t being portrayed as such because the Catholic Church can’t possibly be seen to be divided and the paying faithful need to be kept in the fold.
The revolt has happened in stages. I would put the start of it with the Old Catholics revolting and leaving in the nineteenth century. In the sixties and seventies there was a revolt of priests and religious who wanted to get married and left in droves. Since then there have been revolts by the tridentinists and groups like the Catholic Women Priests.
You can tell that these groups have revolted because they’ve all ended up out of communion with Rome.
The sad thing about Roman Catholics is you all can’t agree to divorce (like the United Methodist church did in the US) and end up constantly tussling over who owns the brand.

What I don’t get was laity continue to give donations or part with their cash on a usual Sunday collections.

Jesus never asked for it.

What did he was to give them free fish and loaves instead of receiving monies. He offered his services for free.

This synod report from a Bristol parish is pretty innocuous, and although it touches on many subjects with which I would agree, it is not forthright enough and too compliant with the status quo. It is quite clear what the Church needs to do: 1. Dismantle the hierarchical, patriarchal, clerical dominated framework of leadership, authority and ministry – a rethink of celibacy and the inclusion of women in all ministries, including priesthood. 2. Embrace diversity in all its forms and welcome those myriad of peoples who already are part of the Church but held at the margins and patronised by so called pastoral outreach- and that includes LBGTQ+ and trans and anything in between ! 3. Radically rethink the Church’s teaching and attitude to how people live out their lives and relationships and find the positive in love wherever you see it. 4. Yes, continue the fine teaching and work about social justice and the dignity of all human beings, including the unborn – here the Church has got it right ! It does not take the brains of rocket scientist to work out what is ailing the Church and to come up with solutions. All that is holding us back is a clerical patriarchal class who hold the reins of authority and have a personal investment in the status quo, and who seem quite content to watch the Church slide down the tubes. Oh, and don’t worry, the Third World Churches will follow. They are only a few decades behind the demise that we already see in the First World Churches.

CALLED TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS: WHY THE CHURCH NEEDS A “CATECHESIS OF SURVIVOR STORIES”
MILWAUKEE (WI)
Awake Milwaukee [Milwaukee WI]
February 28, 2023
By Erin O’Donnell
“Gerard McGlone, SJ, a Jesuit priest and researcher, believes all Catholics should regularly hear the stories of people who have experienced sexual abuse in the Church.”“There is little doubt that we have a systemic issue here, a systemic way in which the voices, the words, the … reality of survivors has never been put first,” he explained in a TEDx talk in 2020. In the place of survivors’ perspectives, Catholics have traditionally heard “the words of the abusing Church and abuser,” McGlone adds.” “He believes the Church needs a “new path forward,” one that “puts the words of survivors front and center.”” “The Church is called to be at the foot of the cross at this moment,” McGlone says. “The Body of Christ is wounded, traumatized, divided, and we need to be attentive to it. Our instinct is to avoid and run, to numb the pain. But I think perhaps God is asking Church leaders and the faithful to steer into the pain and to become more emotionally and spiritually mature, to listen more attentively to each other, especially to victim-survivors, and in this to bring about a more full and robust healing.”https://awakemilwaukee.org/2023/02/28/called-to-the-foot-of-the-cross-why-the-church-needs-a-catechesis-of-survivor-stories/
