    Eamon Casey walked into a bar.

    "Pint of Guinness please".

    "Sorry, we're out of Guinness", replied the barman.

    "Ok, do you have any Murphy's?" asked the bishop.

    He preached about celibacy? Give us a link to this charge please?
    Thank you in advance.


    He confirmed me as a boy,may his soul rest in peace.

    You don't see any hypocrisy in a bishop, a position of leadership in a celibate church in fathering a child?

    Just because confirmed you as a boy makes it ok? Strange logic. Shows how the church really can brainwash people.

    Is a crime to father a child now?

    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!


    Yeah, I remember the Sindo, slavering over ever last detail. They must have got months out of it. It was like Dallas with Irish people. Priests! Sex! The effing late late show!! Sanctimonious b&stards.

    It was like the crime of the century at the time - and then look what came after! We didn't know how lucky we were.

    Who mentioned a crime?

    It is against the laws of the church that he worked for. Did you not hear he resigned because of it?

    Either the condom broke or it seems he did practice some of what he and the church preached about contraception.

    What are you going on about man?

    The fact I was confirmed by Dr casey was an add on.

    Now the question I asked was quiet simple,show me where he perched about celibacy.

    You could do with a bit of church yourself I dare say,it might help take the edge off that hate an anger you hold toward religion.

    murpho999 always has an insatiable thirst for putting down the church.

    No doubt he was never treated badly by them or knew anyone that was, he just sees it as an opportunity to spread hate while supposed retaining the moral upper ground.

    The same as lots of couples enter marriage with every intention of obeying their vows but people are human, they fall in and out of love.

    Completely different issue and nothing to do with the protection of paedophiles that occured afterwards.

    Remember tshirts on O'Connell bridge with slogans around the time the news broke - one was of a Johnny and the slogan was "just in Casey" !

    RIP
    I heard of the fact that he had a teenage son, 3 years before it became public and I live in a diff county. A lot of people must have known.

    Certainly knew of a PP in my county having 3 children.
    A good % of priests working in 'third world' countries have partners and children.
    He was wrong on the money issue. He was however treated appallingly by his fellow bishops.
