UPDATE RE COMPLAINT AGAINST JP LYTTLES SOLICITORS.

Dear Bishop Buckley

I work within the Assessment and Early Resolution team at the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA).

Thank you for your report form dated 12 April 2023.

I understand you write a daily blog about the Roman Catholic Church and its failure to address abuses and corruption.

You wrote a blog about Father John Paul Lyttle and sexual misconduct allegations against him, following victims approaching you for support. 

Hill Dickinson LLP (HDL) acts on behalf of Father Lyttle.

Concerns raised

HDL sent you a letter dated 4 April 2023 regarding Father Lyttle’s personal data published on your blog.

HDL requested you to remove the personal data, otherwise it would make a report to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). The firm also requested you to suspend any further publications until you dealt with the complaint.

You believe the matter amounts to a Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP) suit, as the firm has not challenged what you have written but has threatened to make a report to the ICO.

You also believe the firm is acting in a conflict of interest, as the firm acts on behalf of an insurance company of one of the churches, who deals with claims brought by the victims. Father Lyttle is one of the priests at this particular church.

Our role

The SRA is the regulator of solicitors and law firms in England and Wales, protecting consumers and supporting the rule of law and the administration of justice. The SRA does this by overseeing all education and training requirements necessary to practise as a solicitor, licensing individuals and firms to practise, setting the standards of the profession and regulating and enforcing compliance against these standards. As part of this role, we consider allegations of misconduct on the part of solicitors or their firms.

When making decisions on matters one of the tools we use is our Enforcement Strategy. The Strategy aims to provide the public and profession with greater clarity on how we decide whether to act in a given case, and what factors we consider in deciding the seriousness of misconduct and the action to take.

The SRA cannot provide legal advice, nor can we become involved in legal disputes or court proceedings.

We also cannot provide any forms of compensation or apologies from the firm, as this is outside of our remit.

Next steps

As SLAPPs is a new area for us, I will be seeking guidance on the concerns you have raised. I will return you once I have received the advice.

Thank you for contacting us.

Yours sincerely

PAT SAYS

It’s good that the SRA is keeping me updated on my complaint.

It’s also good to see them saying that SLAPPs are a new area for them and that they will seek guidance.

Of course, I’ll keep my faithful blog readers updated.

Sounds to me as though they are stalling, Pat. I suspect they know you have a strong (perhaps even a compelling) case, but don’t want to concede this too easily. Otherwise, they’d have kicked out your complaint forthwith, and well before now.

Well done, Bishop Pat, for contacting the SRA. They acknowledge your work supporting victims and highlighting abuse in the RC Church. Indeed you were the first to reveal all the sordid details of the corruption in the diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. If you had not, one wonders if Bishop Byrne would not have resigned. Hill Dickinson seems to have sought to SLAPP you, and I’m delighted the SRA are investigating.

Vipers & Serpents, vile types with zero respect for the rights and boundaries of others. Fr John Paul Lyttle has hurt many unsuspecting innocent people, has more than played his part in confirming what a dangerous cesspit the Roman Catholic Church is, the proof and facts are there for all to see in the litany of outstanding and pending lawsuits worldwide. It is risible that despite all their wealth, power, connections and education that the holy ones imagine their primary problem is in trying to find cocky legal eagles to shut down Bishop Buckley’s blog once again. The rights of victims and survivors, their families, friends, supporters and all impacted by church related abuse or indeed any kind of abuse must be upheld in any society daring to describe itself as fair and democratic. The Roman Catholic Church and all it’s connected abusers have simply gotten away with far too much for far too long, this Mafia religion has oceans of blood on its hands at this juncture and international policing authorities must put their loyalties aside and seize church assets and provide justice for victims and survivors if they are to retain the confidence and trust of the public. It is heartening and positive to read that The Solicitors Regulatory Authority are upholding and investigating your complaint. Bishop Egan is a lightning disgrace alongside his protégée Fr John Paul In all of this.

JPL’s superiors in Belfast, Portsmouth, whatever order he was a member of, whatever island he came from, etc (quite an international pageant) should have pooled their resources long ago to recompense JPL for their jointly having strung him along and wasted more than half his life by making false promises to him. Furthermore ALL the VDs and hierarchs involved should have been visibly demoted and publicly reprimanded for the fact. This would have served as template for similar cases. Morally, they are now, having hung him out to dry, owing JPL far extra. I hope he can still play the piano. They also ought to demote the newfangled exaggerated importance of “eucharist” in the Roman religion and modify the living requirements for priests. The many senior high profile archbishops should have protested against the presence of the hostile secretary of state and his overseas boss.

@1:02am and everyone, please listen to Gavin Ashenden talking to Robert Nugent about Eucharist, quoting The Lords Prayer in greek and how this opens up Eucharist, St John’s Gospel, Apostolic era and Church Fathers….and then you might consider @1:02 why I find your reference so insulting. Perhaps I misunderstand you? https://youtu.be/Kvei2-HPEzo?t=3638 (The whole interview is worth a listen if anyone has the time…Eucharistic miracles among the subject matter discussed)

Like

I think the real eucharist in the context of nurtured belief can speak for itself; as a politicised substitute for prayer, and icon of manoeuvring / propaganda by international organisations, it doesn’t. The distortion in emphasis was brought in when our mammalian side got over emphasised, extending to singles the intrusion already sadly foisted on those married who hadn’t cleverly evaded that. I think the real Father, Jesus and Holy Ghost want to mainly speak directly to our discretion in accordance with Holy Scripture meanings and not overburden appointees. Discerning the Body / in memory of Me means valuing those gifts in our peers that aren’t to be vetoed by hierarchy: then we can be assured that we supplicate truly. I think your and Nugent types are doing good but I wish it could be seen as not depending on organisational manifestations. My aim is to suggest distinguishing these facets. Heartfelt thanks for asking.

Like

In the light of what I’ve explained, the knock on effect is usually for i ) the hierarchy, ii ) the average priest, iii ) average parishioners, to demote not only supplication, but also individuals’ boundaries. A relative shortage of masses for example is an opportunity to rebalance. A sense of our personal importance and that of our position is very good. But ontologically confecting of transubstantiations (as opposed to Real Presence) in a cult (in the old sense) where you both are and aren’t supposed to mention sex (for example in the almost compulsory sodalities or armadas) means wrongful intensity for all.

Like

What has ensued from the gradual demoting of supplication as part of faith was not sought by good priests and those remaining decent suffragans when they agreed to ordination. One wasn’t doing JPL a favour by not helping him go civvy much earlier on; he probably lost the power to agree / disagree to something that has been made so objectively bamboozling. You had your own route and that means you can appreciate what you appreciate (well enough to advertise it which is good), because you filter out much context that emotionally, mentally and socially / financially impacts others.

A home is not simply a building; it is the shelter around the intimacy of a life. Coming in from the outside world and its rasp of force and usage, you relax and allow yourself to be who you are. The inner walls of a home are threaded with the textures of one’s soul, a subtle weave of presences. If you could see your home through the lens of the soul, you would be surprised at the beauty concealed in the memory your home holds. When you enter some homes, you sense how the memories have seeped to the surface, infusing the aura of the place and deepening the tone of its presence. Where love has lived, a house still holds the warmth. Even the poorest home feels like a nest if love and tenderness dwell there.

You may remember that a meeting is planned in Portsmouth for all the clergy to discuss EGAN’S 10 year plan. It’s billed as a meeting to discuss the ‘tools’ they will need to be able to cope with EGAN’S new church, designed by himself, disregarding the usual structures of the church:
PARISH = COMMUNITY
DEAN = CO-ORDINATING PASTOR
DEANERY = PASTORAL AREA
ETC.
Parishes will eventually merge (and so will their empty bank accounts) and they will decide which churches to close and sell, making money for their empty bank accounts.
HOWEVER! EGAN has issued a letter updating the clergy that the day will now be a ‘clergy led’ day.

PARISH = COMMUNITY
DEAN = CO-ORDINATING PASTOR
DEANERY = PASTORAL AREA
COUNCIL OF PRIESTS = TRUSTEES
If an apostolic visitation were ever to take place (as many are hoping for, fingers crossed) it would be good for the inspector to look at the minutes of the Council of Priests to see if this ‘senate’ is functioning asvit sjould and then to compare and contrast with the minutes of the Trustees.

The best advice to JPL which will achieve the result he desires, is for him to quietly remove himself from the priesthood and ministry and to make a life outside the Church and the priesthood. That would be the sensible, sane and healthy way for him to move on with his life. That advice, JPL, is given for free !

The stole was invented by the Romans and worn by Roman senators and officials. They had different colours for different roles; and the different colours signified various levels of office and authority.
Gold was reserved for Caesar, If I remember correctly. And Caesar means Ruler ( Latin: Caesar / German: Kaiser.
That’s probably why Charles wore the stole for the ceremony.
In modern times it’s all historical significance and ceremonial.
In Roman times (Ancient Rome, of course lol) certain colours signified importance, and less important – power basically!
Same for the bands (sometimes called Tabs).
Nowadays judges wear red and purple sashes, sometimes as two stoles across the front; like a deacon.
It’s just old fashioned clothing which is mostly worn for the ceremony then gets put away and never used again, unless your a priest or a judge; in this case they’re your work clothes or overalls lol x
The British are known for overdoing things especially when it comes to ceremonies lol.
And, it has to be mentioned: some of the rituals in the ceremony today, I’m sure, have remnants of the old empire and colonialism interwoven in it; literally.

5:05 Remarkable how members of the (allegedly) one holy catholic and apostolic church can’t identify the symbols of priesthood and are dependent on the royal family website to do so.

That site does not mention priestly ‘allusions’; you read this into certain words.
I ‘get it’ that you can read; it’s just your level of understanding what you read that concerns me.
The site makes clear that the Colobium Sindonis and the Supertunica are, respectively, ‘intended to REPRESENT a priest’s alb’ and ‘is BASED (the Supertunica’s embroidery) on ecclesiastical vestments from medieval times’.
Is the penny dropping? Neither of these items is either an alb, or a medieval vestment. Charles is not a priest, nor was he acclaimed as such: he was acclaimed king, and only king. Because, in point of fact, this is the summit of what he now is.
Those items are SYMBOLIC of the presumed divine origin of British monarchy, and, to demonstrate this, they ritually linked Charles’ coronation to that of Solomon, who, also, was not anointed priest, but king.

Like

6:05 I could almost feel sorry for the way they don’t have a personality or identity outside of priesthood and lack the imagination to see that not everyone is like that. To the extent that they see priests where there are none.
That their wrong-headedness is self referential is shown that even if the king were ‘para-ordained’ the order he would be anointed into would certainly not be priesthood.
As always their low horizons give them away.

Your next Portsmouth diocese-sponsored (but not using the diocese’s solicitor to make it look like it isn’t) will be one saying, correctly, that you are harassing Heather Hauschild by allowing the many repeated abusive comments of her.
That’s why they’re making the comments – nobody would expect anything to change in the diocese as a result of commenting here, so they’ll be leaving the comments to enable them to bring legal action.
Their aim has always been to shut you down; bishops and anymore else in the dioceses are never the target.
I bet the church apparatchiks are still bitter that the tactic of stationing you in a Protestant area during the Troubles failed in its objective.

Yes, LOOKS priestly, but isn’t priestly. It’s a symbol, not of priesthood, but of the presumed divine origin of British monarchy.
The British anthem by Handel, Zadok the priest, was sung at the anointing of King Charles III in commemoration of the anointing of King Solomon by Zadok and by Nathan the Prophet. Here Charles is envisaged as being in the royal lineage of Solomon, ostensibly anointed by men, but actually by God through men.
The priestly accoutrements worn by Charles at this moment allude to Zadok’s priesthood, NOT his own (he isn’t a priest, anymore than King Solomon), in order to symbolise that his coronation too, like Solomon’s, is divinely ordained.

There’s a methodological problem and a factual problem with your analysis.
1. Handel’s anthem from 1 Kings is only one source of the ceremony, specifically, of the anointing. The vesture, the actions etc. have other sources.
2. The Royal Robe is also called the Dalmatic Robe. Dalmatic and stole are in the same semantic field.
Ergo, 5.08 is correct.

I thought Nichols coronation blessing very odd, it would be more appropriate at the death of Charles, rather than, his coronation.
The first time in 400 years a Roman Catholic Archbishop was in attendance at an English coronation, and he comes up with this blessing, talk about putting a damper on the situation.
“May God pour upon you the richness of his grace, bless you and keep you in his holy fear, prepare you for a happy eternity, and receive you at the last into immortal glory”.
Funniest part yet of the whole shebang, when Camilla entered Westminster Abbey the choir started singing, Vivat Regina Camilla! Vivat Regina Camilla! Vivat! Vivat! Vivat! some English are claiming they were singing Camilla vagina….
