    Are you some sort of Church/Vatican shill?

    He actually reminds me a lot of a certain poster who was sitebanned a few months ago...

    Just had a look at your post history and about 80% of your posts are in Priest Child Abuse threads, including the thread your first signed up for.
    Are you some sort of Church/Vatican shill?

    Just a Mass-going sinner (lay person) who is sick of liberal goons seeking the ruin God's Church by drumming up the angry "think of the children" mob. There's nothing like a good paedophile story to sell newspapers.

    Cardinal Brady is the holiest of men with a very soft manner who is not afraid to admit mistakes and provide spiritual leadership similar to that shown in the Gospel. I admit I can get a bit spiky on here, but Cardinal Brady is far better educated and experienced in divine matters than I will ever be: he is truly one of God's lambs. He is not the aggressive, condescending or authoritarian type - look at the way he has lived his life and run the Church since 2007. He knew when he took office that the child abuse issue would be the greatest challenge he would ever face in his life. It's no coincidence that he is so well liked, both as a community leader and as a church leader. He openly acknowledges the Church's earthly failings. Listen to what he said yesterday. I was almost in tears when I read his sermon over lunch today.

    I really think you guys are going after the wrong person.

    You're nearly there.
    That was the lie Cardinal Brady lived for the last 35 years before being caught out this week.
    He protected and facilitated a paedophile. Fact.
    Your heavenly ramblings won't alter that fact.

    If the Catholic Church is God's church, then I for one, am not impressed, your God failed.

    It wasn't the think of the children mob who ruined the church, it was the priests who put their hands down some innocent childs' pants. The Church that protected them and everyone else who knew but did nothing to stop it.

    Deliver us from evil is it? How about deliver us into evil.

    He may be a holy man, but fcuk him, he protected Brady. So what if he used a gentle and kind manner when he made those two children sign oaths of secrecy, he still protected the guilty and damned the innocent.

    I really think you are backing up the wrong team here.

    **** you Outrage, **** you, your Church and everyone who is a part of it. From the lowest parishoner to Christ himself, **** you all. Those children trusted your leaders, and they were failed and abused by them. Fcuk you all, I hope you all burn in hell for your support for such an organisation.

    Who should we go after ? ?

    We could go after the Health Board staff/Gardai who allowed to child abuse to continue
    eg the case of Kelly Fitzgerald killed in 1993 by her parents. The same Health Board, rebranded as HSE, allowed the Roscommon "House of Horrors" to take place.

    Or the McColgans abused physically and sexually for 17 years while the NWHB did nothing. "The report also criticised Dr Moran for turning to a chaplain for advice on the matter, rather than to other professionals and experts in the field." http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/1998/09/03/ihead.htm
    Dr Moran continues to serve as Coroner for County Sligo. How about demanding his resignation?
    I am all for bishops resigning as long as public employees also resign/are dismissed.

    .

    Erm, that's what this whole issue is about. Brady didn't inform the health board or the gardai of the abuse. He said nothing to the relevant authorities. So how could they do anything in this case. That's why people want him to resign...

    Seeing as you're in a research mood: could you find some case law where Section 17 of the Offences Against the State act has been applied?

    I seriously doubt is has been used to convict organisational leaders abstracted away several layers about criminal matters that occurred decades in the past.

    The DPP will not be prosecuting. You fail. Go find another law that might stick. Suck it up.

    We should be focusing our efforts on putting perverts in prison and compensating victims.

    with the churches money, not the tax payers yeh?

    Crocodile tears?. :confused:

    Tears of rage, I should hope. Or laughter.

    This is not a forum to express anger against the RCC or Cannon Law; it’s simply whether Maurice should be forced out.

    What is cannon law?

    Something to do with the military?
