BAREBACK PURCELL BACK IN MOUNT MELLERAY 😞

RECENT PICTURE

A Waterford priest has let us know that Richard Dargan – Purcell is back in Mount Melleray.

He could not tell us whether or not he is permanently resident there – but he is certainly walking around the place in hus Cistercian habit and greet people with great gusto.

In any event, it seems that Richard and those like him have no shame.

We are all sinners. When we fail, if we have any moral compass, we have a sense of shame.

How shocking it is to find people, especially for me, a priest, with no sense of shame or remorse.

EGAN DROPS PLAN TO RAID PRIESTS RETIRE FUND ???

A blog reader sent us the following

If this is true, it’s good for the Portsmouth Priests’ Retirement Fund.

Many of the English bishops seem to dislike and resent Arthur Roche the new cardinal.

Roche certainly has Francis’ ear.

At least doing it bareback means he’s following the teachings of the Church on the use of contraceptives.

I don’t see what the problem is with Purcell, all he’s alleged to have done is have gay sex and it’s not like that’s anything that gets you fired in the cult. Now if he’d blown the whistle on someone else that would be different.

When the clergy make a vow of celibacy and then they break the vow and continue on breaking it are they not sinning against the Holy Spirit as they are making a mockery of Jesus teachings. Jesus did say that to follow him you are to leave your family and he sent his apostles out in pairs. Did he call his disciples to have platonic relationshops.

Blackrock College, Roscrea Cistercians School & Glenstal Abbey School - links to Abbot Richard Purcellsays:

It appears reckless in the extreme on the part of the Irish clerical hierarchy and on foot of recent intense media coverage of credible and witnessed abuse allegations at Blackrock College to blatantly reintroduce Abbot Richard Purcell with his known links to Cistercians and Glenstal back into the “fold”.
The Irish Roman Catholic Militant Clerical Gay Mafia are sending a very clear message that those who pray together also “prey” together.
They are indeed taking the Michael courtesy of the sheep that finance their flamboyant gay lifestyles as in the case of Fr/Dr Rory Coyle featured last week on this blog.

Purcell back in Melleray is like Rory back in Armagh. They are testing the waters to see how people react. So, I think people should make what they think known. Then they will think again. Just to make things crystal clear, my view is that Purcell, Rory, JPL, et al should all move on and out. They do not have a credible future in ministry.

I really fail to see why their superiors, and they themselves, just do not understand this. In any other walk of life those conversations would have taken place and decisions made. The sense of clergy, for some reason, believing themselves to be exceptional to the norm, I guess comes from that stupid malarky of being chosen, special, having something that makes them ontologically superior and different. All that thinking does is give clergy an excuse to do what they want and to get away with things. Which is what is happening here. Purcell, Rory, JPL and many others should be made to make a life for themselves, having shown that they are incapable of fulfilling the basic requirements of priesthood – especially honesty and integrity, Why should they have a meal ticket for life ? It’s crazy. If they want to shag around let them do it on their own bank account.

Indeed re testing the waters. However I have no problem with Purcell as long as he stays out of towards healing.
Also, It sort of implies that Purcell has bishop’s approval or head Abbott’s permission on his return.

It’s not a credible organisation so it doesn’t really matter anymore only to those on the payroll and those awaiting redress and possibly the rentboy twinks on the handy number.
Never forget, contrary to what these white collar criminals would like the public to believe, they do not own God.

“There are a myriad of both physical and mental health benefits that come from masturbating,” says One Medical provider Christine Boyer, PA-C, AAHIVS. “Research has shown that masturbation can reduce stress, help with sleep, improve self-esteem and body image, (relieve menstrual cramps) and muscle tension, and promote prostate health.”
Boyer also adds that masturbation has been shown to strengthen the muscles of the pelvic and anal areas, which can prevent or improve sexual dysfunction.

Pat, how spiritually arrogant of you? How do you know that Richard Purcell has no remorse or guilt or shame? By your self righteous standards, nine of us has any miral compass. You continue to want Fr. Purcell to be harassed, humiliated and lambasted. How do you know if he’s not on a personal metanoia? Do you want him chained up in a dark cell? I have no doubt about Fr. Richard’s moral and spiritual malaise in his behaviour but I have no moral authority to humiliate him daily. No authority and neither have you. I’m certain that this cleric, whom you viciously targeted, has learned lessons. I dint thunk you have. Jesus didn’t harass, chase after or debilitated peoole through daily humiliations. He challenged people with TRYTH but with charity and mercy, attributes absent in your heart.

Padraig,
Your comment is built on the very valid point that we don’t know what’s going on in Abbot Richard’s head and heart.
But the fact we don’t know is exactly the reason a cleric, who has a public role, shouldn’t just appear back in their community after causing scandal.
How can we be given reassurance that the former abbot actually has repented and hasn’t just waltzed back in to continue?
It is also important to remember that Abbot Richard’s reappearance (whose stated sexual sins were legal and consensual) takes place against a history of clergy who were moved about and assigned to parishes after committing crimes and with no assurance they wouldn’t do it again. As indeed they frequently did.
Whether you like it or not, the former abbot’s reappearance *looks* exactly like the cases of abusive priests going away for a bit and reappearing, looked. It doesn’t inspire confidence.

To whoever in the abbey or order made the decision to have Dom Richard back in the abbey:
At the very least you could have made an acknowledgement on the abbey website or Facebook that there had been a scandal and an acknowledgement that things have changed somehow. You wouldn’t even need to give any details but it would be important to say that the faithful had been scandalized and not use euphemisms such as illness.
This would show a modicum of respect for the faithful.
Can’t you give an assurance that anything is going to be any different?

No, leave Westminster to Insomniac Stock, or Bully Boy Wilson or someone else from a gene pool of the episcopabile that is very shallow and lacking.

+Pat, if it is true that Richard Purcell is back at Mount Melleray that is quite the development. He does have the right to return to the monastery by virtue of his election as abbot his monastic stability transferred to the abbey from Mount St Joseph in Roscrea. That aside, it seems extraordinary that the community would consent to his presence among them given that the allegations that were made against him was never formally denied. And I imagine that his return would have to be approved/sanctioned by the abbot general but that also seems unlikely.
Part of me sceptical that Purcell is back in Melleray, however, as your informant is a priest of the diocese of Waterford, and in light of the controversy that surrounded Purcell that unfolded on your blog Purcell is one of the most recognised priests in Waterford, so I think your informant does not need to visit Specsavers.

‘it seems extraordinary that the community would consent to his presence among them given that the allegations that were made against him was never formally denied.’
Don’t forget that many religious orders have lost their sense of proportion and are accustomed to having much worse than a mere practicing homosexual amongst them.
Also don’t forget that they elected him abbot. If they knew what he was up to it obviously isn’t a problem and if they elected him without probing enough to find out what he was up to, it tells you all you need to know.
I have said several times here that Abbot Purcell can only be the symptom of a wider malaise in the Cistercian communities because they facilitated him getting where he was.

Pat I appreciate you have to follow up on issues from a journalistic perspective. However, I feel it is only fair to comment on a recent interaction I had with Richard Purcell. I’m a straight catholic man in a happy heterosexual relationship. I have a number of priest friends. I suffered a stroke last year and not one of these priests got in touch or offered prayers for me. Only Richard Purcell did. He has made some extremely regrettable mistakes but at least he reached out to me in my hour of need. Where were the priests in so called “good standing” as I sat close to death’s door? Richard has made mistakes and we all know that. But Pat there are priest hypocrites out there that forget you the day you get sick and aren’t available to pay the parish envelope. Sad reality….
