    That money was just resting in his account.

    His downfall seems sort of quaint now, in light of everything else that was happening at the time.

    Ironically he turned out to be far less odious than what remained.

    An adult consentual sexual relationship- the horror!!!

    Church didn't want him giving her any of its money - its biggest fear!!!

    So he stole it and gave it to her anyway.

    By the time the media - which for decades was the biggest cheerleader of the RCC and its conservative, narrow, anti-socialist, anti-republican worldview - was finished with Casey, I felt sorry for him. I've never seen anything like it.

    It really was mob rule, particularly in the Sunday Independent where mob attacks on people who are down is an integral part of the culture. Unsurprisingly, then as now, the Irish media will never report on all the decades they kept quiet about the goings-on and crimes of the RCC. Wouldn't want to lose readers for investigating the RCC!

    Which is worse, breaking celibacy and misappropriating church funds, or raping little kids...

    I know which one I go for.


    The church went for the former.

    Pope Francis is talking about allowing older married men to become priests.

    The Trocaire scandal was bad by Bishop Casey, the affair and having a child was human.

    Seems he was suffering from dementia in recent years and had been in bad health, it was not a nice way to end up, so it is sad, this after being exiled for 14 years.

    It was a diosacean reserve account, not Trocaire and was repaid in full

    I am not sure weighting things in context of other horrible things people do is the way to go.

    Paul only killed one woman. He was a decent sort when you consider what the likes of that Bundy fellow was up to.

    Got a woman pregnant and rather do the honourable thing and leave the church, he took off to Galway and subsequently stole funds from a charity to support his son.
    Lived the high life in Galway, while many in the diocese were struggling to make ends meet, all the while extolling the virtues of poverty and celibacy.
    I grew up in Galway, when a lot of people were very hard up, while this prick lived in a palace, drove a brand new BMW, ate and drank like a king, thumbed his nose at the law and moral norms and had his wealthy, well connected friends bail him out when all his hypocracy came out.
    I have nothing but absolute and total disgust for this scum.

    He made mistakes like everyone does at some point and he did support the kid when he was growing up.

    Compared to that scumbag Brendan Smyth that we found out about a few years later all the hullabaloo about Casey seemed ridiculous.

    He also did a lot to help the Irish in Britain and also worked with the poor in other countries, nobody said he was prefect but posters calling him scum should be ashamed of themselves.
