What gave Gaybo the right to be condescending to a single mother on The Late Late

TheLastMohican

"I hope his son will be half the man his father was", was Gay's parting salvo to Annie Murphy, the former lover of arch-hypocrite Bishop Eamon Casey. And got a massive round of applause from the audience.
Did this include Casey's fleeing from the cops in the Bayswater/Queensway area of West London, a notorious red light district, and subsequent arrest? And did it include his ignoring his vows, fathering a child, stealing money from his employers etc among other notable deeds?
Gaybo, if you're reading this, how about an explanation?

IMVHO the whole Eamon Casey thing was the beginning of the end of the dominance of the Church in Ireland, people were openly making jokes about the whole thing. What amazed me about the whole thing is everyone only goes on about him being a father, he stole thousands and thousands of money at a time when there wasn't any money in the country. I read the article in the Irish Times today and the whole "all he wants to do is say mass in public again", if you want to say mass in public you abide by the rules, if you don't then you don't.

As for the whole "at least he didn't interfere with kids, sure let him off", what those scumbags did to those poor children should never be used as a comparison to anything.

You should finish it out. Peter Murphy seems like a very interesting and balanced person - especially given what he went through. He describes his relationship with his father as being 'like they were good friends', but they obviously, after several painful initial meetings, got on very well. His Dad is very ill now anyways, but he seems to have totally come to terms with the whole thing. He's pretty impressive, actually.

I do remember that Late Late, Gaybo treated Annie Murphy horrifically. Totally biased interview, embarrassing really. Very bad old days stuff.

He certainly did.He drove a brand new 3 series BMW around Galway in the early 80's when the rest of us drove yokes falling apart with rust.What paid for that?Maybe a few pound went astray when the "trocaire" boxes were opened after Lent?But sure a bishop wouldn't do a thing like that,would he?

...true. And there was nothing to beat the sexual guidance thought up by a bunch of celibates.

It did not go well. “He didn’t want to talk to me. In hindsight I was the representation of the end of everything he worked for. Of course I took it incredibly personally. I ran down. Got the elevator. Came downstairs. Tried to keep a stoic face. Saw my mom and burst into tears . . . You’re 15, have questions. He didn’t want to answer them. I felt slighted.”

While I admire Gaybo for in many ways a sterling example of the entertainers art, I remember seeing that late late at the time and thinking how very unprofessional of Gay he let his true feeling shine through and instead of telling the story he became the story. I wonder how he now views that interview.

Pity the church does not ignore the sexual "sins" of many great men and women and thereby exclude them.

I don't think Gabo reads this, but the Irish Independent does so if you put up an intelligent argument you will make the cover or page three next Monday.

I was not a fan of the Late Late Show, I don't think anyone should have that much opinion power, new laws would have prevented that comment going to air.

But that was a long time ago and we could drink and drive then too, could we not, now Gabo is telling us not to do that anymore, and I'm sure most of us had forgotten about Casey and in particular the respect he was afforded. And Casey flaunted it too, he still turned up in Cork in Bishops Robes for a family wedding after he was defrocked or whatever happened to him, now that's arrogance, but people loved him, they still do.

IMO, they are in error.

No he did not, he was responsible for bringing hundreds of thousands to their senses and questioning their very faith and existence.

As with other clerics and non clerical do gooders, such as that fix it guy, the sins and anguish are never compensated for by the good they did as the good they were doing was in fact to make them feel better about living a lie in Casey's case, and much much worse in other cases.

The lie is the sin. Casey should have resigned, he exposed the fallacy of faith and not only committed his sin once, but multiple times and then denies his own flesh n blood and keeps the cover-up for years and years.

All those years he was not a minister, he was a fake or imposter, his blessings and sacraments were void and unlawful in the eyes of whom he professed to believe in.

Granted, he was not the worst, but in time it exposed the depravity and the depth of depravity that goes on to make that fix it guy look like a saint.

As bishops go casey wasn't the worst, that's not hard though, did a lot of good work over in London, worst thing he did though was to "rest" some diocese money in his account.

The problem was Gaybo's smarmy remark to a lady who had experienced the harrowing mores of a latter day society. Why did this jumped up tosser take it upon himself to further insult her?
