While our Scottish friends are in court and taking dips in undertaker’s hotbtubs, the Irish bishops and monks are following ROBIN HOOD CULLINAN and LITTLE JOHN MULRYAN down into the woods for an ALL JOYS ALL PLAY weekend.
FONZIE and LITTLE JOHN have even brought Sherwood Forest to Glen Comeragh with ARROW FIGHTS, ARCHERY, AXE THROWING and a whole weekend of male bonding around the campfire.
They might even go hunting and kill their own meat with their own bare hands – Glencomerage Rabbit and Slievenamon Wild Hare.
Mind you, they better all watch out if the Fonzie bucko gets the taste of fresh blood !
A COUNTY DOWN PRIEST HAS APPLIED TO ATTEND – BY EMAIL TO FONZIE
“Dear Bishop Alphonsus, I would like to apply for the men’s camping trip. I enjoy camping it around the fire. Can I be excused the archery and axe throwing because of my limited eyesight and a very sore right hand (dont tell Robert Nugent), could I have a discount, please? My good friend in Larne suggested this camp retreat for me. He knows I have an interest in Robin Hood, camping in general. Can I can bring my own green tights and green tunic plus my own bow and arrows. The tights have got a bit tight and have a few ladders but are still wearable.
Anyway, I don’t expect we will be wearing a lot during the weekend, and I’m looking forward to tackling Big Mulryan.
Please send me more details; Rev. Ramon Murphy. c/o Drumcree PO (a black hole) Co Down. 🙏“.
Thanks to Fr Murphy for a copy of his email to Fonzie Hood.
It seems that Fonzie is replacing the SYNODAL WAY with the FOREST WAY?
Why is it only for men?
Why not women too?
Is there an age restriction at 35 like in Sliverstream?

what is to become of Maid Marion during this weekend of male bonding, camping it around the fire in the moonlight? And little John asks, ‘why no ball playing on the retreat schedule’-after all, €250 in the woods for male bonding comes at a stiff price.

The Garda knew about Fr John Shine’s nephew, Bill Kennealy for years and did nothing.
The suggestion is that Monsignor Shine may have colluded with senior Irish police/An Garda Siochana to prevent Bill Kennealy from being prosecuted.
Fr Shine was a good, kind pastoral man but as a canon lawyer he had a blind spot when it came to saving the good name of the church and the people he was loyal to.
In this context, he, like so many before and after him, hung victims out to dry in what he believed to be the best interests of the Roman Catholic Church.
Fr Shine had a misguided idea that it was better to sort things out quietly and privately.
That’s what the Church did in the past and continues to do where possible despite the obvious consequences of the deep mistrust it has earned from the public as more and more stories of collusion between church and state emerge.

The Roman Catholic church should not be allowed to police itself, it is incapable of doing so honestly, as we have seen umpteen times, whether it be in Chile, USA, Ireland, or anywhere in-between.

Then there is the Irish Government’s Fianna Fail Senator Brendan Kennelly a cousin of the paedophile………….
And Shine his Uncle in “denial”, probably convinced himself it was a “only” a sin which according to the Roman Catholic tenets can be forgiven. I wonder if he claimed as Archbishop Robert Carlson did, he didn’t know child sexual abuse was a crime. Mother of God!! You couldn’t make this stuff up.

During Covid, Bishop Phonsie issued a letter to parishioners appealing for financial support in light of reduced ability to collect offerings due to lockdowns. He launched an online collection facility at that time.
In his correspondence he added:
“I also have in mind various projects for spreading the faith in the Diocese and for this we need to employ a Youth-Ministry Officer and a Faith-Development Officer.
These roles are vital to help change the negative culture that surrounds us and to let people know God’s message of truth and mercy. If you would like to help support these and other diocesan initiatives, you can contribute to Bishop’s Evangelisation Appeal below.
I would like to thank you in advance for your support and generosity.
Yours Sincerely,
Bishop Phonsie”
The Diocese of Waterford & Lismore faces a problem most dioceses are facing – the ongoing loss of income initially due to falling attendances as new scandals emerged, enforced Covid closure of churches etc.
In light of the stubborn and blatant refusal of the Irish clerical hierarchy and their colleagues to address outstanding scandals or put transparent procedures In place to protect the public going forward, that is bound to continue and get worse.
Many people did not return to Mass when the lockdown was lifted.
THE SCANDALS
Nearly everyday a new scandal comes out of the RCC in Ireland and elsewhere.
Every scandal sends more people away from church.
And Bishop Phonsie has his very own big scandal in his Diocese with Mount Mellary and Abbot Richard Purcell.
The scandal was reported to Bishop Phonsie who, true to form same as his brother Bishops, (on separate complaints & scandals) did nothing about it and now Abbot Richard Purcell is gradually being publicly reintroduced in recent photo shoots with local unwitting pensioners etc.
Why give Bishop Phonsie or any Bishop or clergyman who hides scandals and openly works with their friends in high places to destroy victims of church related abuse any more money.
Let Phonsie sell assets to pay his priests – churches, presbyteries, hall etc.

Pat, your constant and vile comments towards Bishop Cullinan are starting to become very boring. You may not like him as a man or a cleric, and the same may apply to some of the priests in his Diocese but there is no need for the constant attacks.
Are these attacks down to the fact that he refused you Holy Communion at your friend John Shine’s funeral mass. Bishop Cullinan on that occasion was 100 per cent correct in what he did after you excommunicated yourself from the Catholic Church when you allowed yourself to be ordained a Bishop outside the Catholic Church.
I have seen many Church of Ireland clergy attend the funeral of a Catholic person and have never seen then receive Holy Communion at the appointed time and have never seen then even try and approach a Priest to receive communion.
Please also get your facts right in relation to what is happening within Bishop Cullinan’s Diocese. If there is any brain washing happening at Holy Family Mission in Glencomeragh House, it happens well before the young people arrive there to spend a year or two of their lives. It happens within their family and within their parishes long before they arrive at Glencomeragh. The majority however that arrive there are normal people.
Perhaps if there is someone that should be spoken about, maybe you could reflect on the Gospel of the Woman at the Well, and how Jesus asked her if nobody had thrown a stone at her after he told those who have not sinned (or who have faults of their own) to throw the first stone. None did as you know. Maybe you should look at your own far from perfect life as a none celibate priest when you were a part of the Catholic Church and if you feel that you have not done anything wrong then start throwing stones at others.
Something tells me however that this message will not appear. I have forwarded something similar in the recent past and it never appeared in print.

1.52: You ask very relevant questions and make necessary, challenging observations about Pat’s behaviour towards Bishop Cullinan. There is no doubting in my mind that Pat’s encounter with the Bishop in refusing him Holy Communion has tempered his attitude towards him since then. Pat has nurtured his anger and hurt ever since but the Bishop did the right thing, since, as you say, Pat renounced all Catholic teachings re: the Eucharist by apostatising and choosing to leave the Catholic Church. What’s very disturbing about Pat’s attitude since is that his vituoperation and hostility against Bishop Cullinan has deepened into a nasty virus which has become a contagion on others. Pat must surely know by now that when an individual – any of us – perceives that everyone else is wrong – in Pat’s case, all Bishops and priests – this is reflective, not of a balanced, fair or understanding person, but of a narcissist. Pat has done immense work in bringing much that was hidden out to the light and has championed many good fights for justice but there is a serious question to be asked of him about why such animosity towards Bishop Cullinan? It’s not what Jesus told us to do: rather, love your “enemies”, pray for them, do not judge…be compassionate as your heavenly Father is…I cannot fathom the depth of animus, hostility and disdain which this blog promotes against Bishop Cullinan. I’d be interested in hearing a rational explanation..

Yes, Archbishop Cordileone refused her Communion, however she was able to receive it elsewhere.
So, what does it depend on? Is it permissible to be able to receive Holy Communion if you are in a high status position? and not, if you are not the President of the United States. The whole thing stinks!
It should one rule for all, irrespective of status, as far a I remember that is what we were taught. It should not be on the whim of the priest

SPANISH BISHOPS DELIVER SIX VOLUMES OF INFORMATION ON SEX ABUSE CASES TO OMBUDSMAN
Madrid(Spain)
Catholic News Agency – EWTN [Denver CO]
March 30, 2023
By Nicolás de Cárdenas,
ACI Prensa Staff
“The president of the Spanish Bishops’ Conference (CEE), Cardinal Juan José Omella, has handed over to the people’s ombudsman, Angel Gabilondo, a total of six volumes of data on cases of sexual abuse of minors. In Spain, the role of the ombudsman is to defend the fundamental rights and public liberties of citizens by watching over the activities of local and national governments as well as the administration of justice. Speaking to Radio Nacional de España, Omella explained that all the data on cases collected by the Spanish dioceses has been turned in. In total, the ombudsman has received “six volumes of reflection with all the data that we have up to now.” He stressed the Spanish prelates commitment to “put in place all means to eradicate” the abuse of minors.
The cardinal also said that these situations cause “great harm, not only to the Church but [also] to society.”

CHURCH NEEDS CREATIVE MINISTRIES TO CARE FOR ABUSE SURVIVORS, ADVOCATE SAYS
Washington (DC)
The Tablet
[Market Harborough, England]
March 31, 2023
By Carol Zimmermann
“WASHINGTON — A ministry for homebound victim-survivors of clergy abuse to receive the Eucharist in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis is an example of the creativity needed to help abuse survivors find healing, said the executive director of the Secretariat for Child and Youth Protection for the U.S. bishops. “It’s the Holy Spirit at work,” said Deacon Bernie Nojadera, who has led the post at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for the past 12 years. He said this new program is “leading the way with its ministry,” noting that it has brought “blessing and grace” to the person receiving the Eucharist and the person bringing it. Deacon Nojadera also told The Tablet that this ministry, which he described as bringing “the church to survivor victims,” is the only one of its kind that he is aware of. He also described it as planting a seed, adding: “Who knows what is to come?”
