Monsignor Maurice Dooley explains it all

Clip via Today with Pat Kenny, RTE Radio 1, March 15th 2010 – link to full show

This is the kind of fucked up thinking that brought about the abuse of so many Irish children, why so many lives were ruined, and why even now there’s no sense of doing the right thing. Mostly because they don’t know what the right thing is.

  1. Give the man a chance, he was agreat hurler.

  2. maggot says:

    How did he get away with that ? Church teaching is that they are the voice of God.

  3. Mike says:

    It’s basically “we’ll do what we want” of course, since they are the Word of God. Fuckwit! I’ve never felt as disgusted as hearing him earlier. I was stunned. And these people are meant to be some sort of moral compass for us? Who turn a blind eye to suffering children? I could weep.

  4. el cuno says:

    I almost expected him to come out with “That would be an ecumenical matter..”!

  5. Conan Drumm says:

    It’s as if you were passing by and saw Brendan Smith in the middle of his worst crimes in a neighbour’s front garden, and then Dooley steps out from behind the hedge and says, “Nothing to see here, now move along!”

  6. Crank says:

    I really can’t listen to any more of these fuckers today. If I do, I’ll be compelled to go out and shove a bargepole up the parish priest’s arse.

    Sideways.

    Too many excuses, too many apologists, no compassion, no humanity. They should just be thankful they didn’t do it to one of my kids. I’d happily do time if they had.

  7. Crank says:

    One question though. What the fuck did Brady and his superiors think they were doing interviewing 14-year-old kids without their parents or guardians being present and then getting these minors to sign purportedly legal documents?

    Crimes. Where does one fucking start?

  8. fill3rup says:

    You start in Maynooth Crank,and work yer way up…

  9. gluaistean says:

    The unmistakable sneer in his voice-sadly, however, it is justified. They WILL get away with it and the WILL still be controlling anything worth controlling in Ireland into the future.
    Ireland is now the gang-land of Europe. The priests and their lickspittle twisted sisters will close ranks, scare the shite out of ‘the faithful’ and use every bit of Confessional-obtained dirt at their disposal to cow the politicians into obesiance.
    Only when their fetid blood starts running in the streets will anything change…and that ‘aint going to happen because GOD FORBID that the law be flouted.

    You know what Twenty – it’s so fucking evil and inevitable that it really is not worth blogging about anymore. Nobody reading this will do a goddam thing….can we go back to the old days and your light hearted fatuousness??

  10. papalamour says:

    I recollect from the many joyful Sunday morning hours of Welsh Chapel Sunday School that the law of God is the ten commandments and the two big tablets of stone that Moses brought down from the mountain.

    Where does he and his vile bastard colleagues find shelter and solace from the 10 commandments – the law of God?

    There is no commandment from the Lord that states that you are not allowed to abuse vulnerable children for your own f****d version of sexual/psychological gratification. You cannot boil a kid in it’s mother’s milk but nothing there.

    Burn Catholic Churches, not headshops…

    I’m listening to the Pat Kenny – DIE! DIE! DIE! – Show and it’s so depressing I’m heading out to watch the 2nd half of Liverpool v Portsmouth

    The detail of the fact that the goverenment of the day held up the extradition of Smyth for 7 months wasn’t addressed in this article;

    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0315/1224266294163.html
    anyone with a memory of it I’d appreciate the knowledge.

    Dooley kicks in at about 13 mins into the radio show

  12. itchybollix says:

    He’s using language in a 51% – 49% correct manner to win an argument that is 100% ….fuck it…he’s not worth the fucking energy.

  13. itchybollix says:

    26 mins in he say’s the bishops were given wrong info by the shrinks of the child-abusing priests and that’s why nothing was done.

    fucking bertie and the tribunal stuff here

  14. Crank says:

    Most of the recent defence from the church seems to depend on semantics. Maybe, as a favour to the church I’ll stick a dictionary up the parish priest’s hole instead.

    It won’t be the conscise edition either.

  15. Crank says:

    *concise even. (Apologies, dictionary away being greased…)

  16. maggot says:

    Itchy – rumours abounded

    Reports began to circulate in Dublin that the process of extraditing Father Brendan Smyth was being deliberately delayed in response to a request made at the highest levels by the Catholic Church. Democratic Left Deputy Pat Rabbitte referred in the Dail to the possible existence of a document that would ‘rock the foundations of this society to its very roots.’ He seems to have had in mind the rumoured existence of a letter written by Cardinal Cathal Daly to Harry Whelehan.

    In this letter the Cardinal is supposed to have interceded on behalf of Father Brendan Smyth and requested that his extradition be delayed. No evidence has been produced that such a letter ever existed. Yet as a direct result of the rumours that now swept the country, Whelehan would be forced to resign as High Court President and the Reynolds Government would fall, amidst talk of a dark conspiracy involving politicians, members of Opus Dei, the Knights of Columbanus and others. This conspiracy was allegedly seeking to cover up the activities of paedophile priests.

    Nothing was ever proven

    http://www.alliancesupport.org/news/archives/002571.html

    You might find this from the National Catholic Reporter in 1994 interesting

    Smyth has been quoted from prison to the effect that he will reveal other priest abusers if the church does not protect his interests.

    http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1141/is_n6_v31/ai_15985421/

    I doubt we will ever know the full truth – could be a scenario like the Rose Tattoo, may have been linked to the troubles, a reluctance to facilitate one extradition in case the British started to ask for On The Runs to be extradited.

    you gotta feel for liverpool fans; maggot – will check that later

    Gangsta Agger on 606: “Am I the only Liverpool fan who is still nervous about seeing this one through?”

    cypherspace on Twitter: “News just in from Department of the Bleeding Obvious: Aquilani better than Lucas. Can someone make sure Rafa gets this memo?”

  19. Sweary says:

    How anyone could hear this and not get the gawks with anger is beyond me.

    I’m with papalamour (although how can someone called Papal Amour want to burn the Wan Thrue Church?). The “moral terrorists” that are trying to cleanse the country of the evils of designer drugs could really be putting all that energy to better use.

    But in Catholic teaching – Summa Theologica, article 10 in link – Children under the age of 14 or before Puberty are debarred from swearing.

    this is unfucking believable. The nerve of these cunts. Im dumbstruck

  31. Twenty Major says:

    You know what Twenty – it’s so fucking evil and inevitable that it really is not worth blogging about anymore. Nobody reading this will do a goddam thing….can we go back to the old days and your light hearted fatuousness??

    I do wonder about that, whether it’s worth blogging … in a preaching to the converted way. Shit like that clip though, I think it’s better saying something than nothing.

  32. paulo1 says:

    “I believe that is not fair to judge the actions of thirty-five years ago by the standards we are living today”. Sweet suffering Jesus, the man is saying that although it’s not on today to sexually abuse children, it was o.k. back then.I think my head is going to explode.

  33. maggot says:

    I do wonder about that, whether it’s worth blogging … in a preaching to the converted way.

    They can put pressure on governments and politicians, they can try to put pressure on the media – but they have no influence on bloggers. Anything that gets information into the public domain can only do good. Whether it will do enough good is a different matter.

  34. Holemaster says:

    Every little bit helps. You can be sure the PR people of the church read this blog. So it does no harm to have them read first hand the views of most people with half a brain.

  35. Crank says:

    Yea, keep on keeping on, Twenty. At least, by giving us this space to vent, it stops me biting the dog.

    Colm O’Gorman is truly one of the most articulate people around. I am in awe. He shows up cunts like that wanker Dooley for what they truly are. Apologists for the unforgivable.

  36. George Buckley says:

    I heard this insane fart on the PK show this morning. I thought this evil sick twisted wanker Dooley was demon-possessed when I heard the bullshit he was saying live on air. He was saying basically the clergy can do whatever they want and screw the victims and society in general. I wish he was raped and beaten himself. What a bastard inhuman monster he is. Brady is a shit 2.

  38. Drunk Kitteh says:

    If you still attend Catholic church, you are a supporter of child abusers. End of fucking story.

  39. Conan Drumm says:

    Twenty, if you were’nt putting it out there and providing the space there would be crimes committed. I know I’d be done for damage to Cathedral doors, and that would only generate sympathy for the hypocrites.

  40. Ibanez says:

    its possible its not necessary to do a goddamn thing. What twenty and people like him are doing is reminding us. I dont think about the bigger things in life in my everyday existence, I worry about bills and what that stain is underneath my monitor and why is it spreading. I wince at the news, its fucking depressing. I and ‘sortof’ fairly decent people like me need to be reminded and poked and cajoled just in case we mindlessly throw a few quid in a church plate at a wedding, vote fianna fail in a hungover stuper or buy a damien rice album in the bargain bucket

  42. on the dry says:

    sharia law in milltown and clonskeagh think about that one

  43. Gluey is both right and wrong. Yes, we Irish will complain and bitch in the pub but do very little in the way of real action. It’s the cowed mentality of a population that’s been ruled over for centuries. However, when it comes to the welfare our kids, things change.
    If I lived in Ireland today, I would not even contemplate sending my kid to anything but a secular school. If there weren’t enough secular schools available, I’d be breaking down my TD’s door demanding a non-denominational education for my brat. There’s no way my son is getting within spitting distance of some collared Darth Vader.
    There must be thousands of Irish parents who now feel the same way, mustn’t there? If so, the next generation will be free of the clutches of Rome and we might actually become the Republic we’ve always claimed to be. It’ll be slow but it’s coming.

  44. The Cap'n says:

    ‘collared Darth Vader’ heh. Thats good. Don’t worry lads by the time the 2012 Eucharistic Congress swings ’round it’ll all be forgotten.

    There’ll be statchoos a-rocking and a rolling in every parish.

    Has anyone asked the Holy Shtump of Rathkeale for a quote?

    “I like to sing-a, I like to wobble-a”

  45. fill3rup says:

    The only Canon law i would recognise at this stage would be finding every Priest/Bishop/Bullshit Wizard who covered this up,putting them all in a Chuch and firing loads of Cannon’s at it..

  46. Holemaster says:

    Dooley is wallowing in self righteousness. He’s using the letter of the law to defend inaction of priests and bishops. We all know that investigations by the police have been stymied by the church in the past. A local Garda would always obey the local priest as they essentially were the real rule of law in the parish.

    So even if a priest managed to report to the police, the police would then report back to his superior who in turn would tell them to drop the case.

    We were ruled from the Vatican, plain and simple.

  47. The Cap'n says:

    I hear a lot about the state being responsible for a large part of the attacks on kids in institutions and so on but I have to say i hear very little about the ‘veto’ the catholic church held over the state’s social policy between 1930 and 1990.

    There seems to be some sort of conspiracy to accept that the state should have challenged the church more but that doesn’t explain what happened to people who genuinely tried.

    The younger Gardai who filed paperwork quickly before it could be sidelined by senior Guards. Those people in the Dept of Education who tried to tell what was going on in the slave labour gulags of the Magdalene laundries etc;

    These people were all ‘veto’d’ by catholics trying to do their church a favour and protect its reputation. Some had their careers finished.

    Its about time (and no better time) for RTE, The Dept of Education, Justice and so on to get rid of these nutters out of the state’s systems.

    Interfering with the legal process should lead to jail terms for civil servants.

  48. Chris O says:

    What can we do? I’ve been struck off the baptismal register, but that’s a personal thing. What can I do on a societal level? You can throw the Crimen Solicitationis of 1962 in all the Catholic faces that you want, but they’ll still go to Mass.

    “sure it was only a few bad apples, it’s not fair on poor Fr X, sure he’s a lovely parish priest”

    I want to see them burn. I want to see the churches turned into town halls and museums. But mostly, I want to see them burn.

    So, I is asking Twenty’s peeps, the most trustworthy people on the interwebz. What can I do to bring this thing down, without going to prison or becoming a martyr? I’d prefer to leave that bit to the folks who do it best.

  49. Tomo says:

    Where were the parents in all this? Surely somewhere, sometime, a father managed to get his hands on a priest who molested his child? In spite of the bleating of Dooley and his ilk, I’m fairly sure diddling kids has ALWAYS been high on the list of societal no-nos. Oh, and absolutely ratzinger was up to his ASS in this- there’s no way he didn’t know what was going on back in his time in Germany.

  51. Peter Belfast says:

    Monsignor Dooley’s comments on the Pat Kenny show are nothing to what was said on “Talk Back” Radio Ulster this lunch time. Tuesday 16th March.
    BBC iPlayer should be up tomorrow or later today.

  52. WhytheFace says:

    What about the so-called ‘good’ priests though? Why won’t any of them speak out with clarity? You listen to them and it’s the same auld thing of trying to decipher what they’re really saying. Thus, Fr Blah saying that Brady should explain further (or whatever) can be taken to be brazen outspokenness and opposition. If there’s any good men in that there Church they’d do well to speak louder because the impression given is that they’re so cowed, so obedient that if a bishop asked them to overlook something heinous again today or tomorrow, they might well say ‘yes boss’

  53. The Brady Bunch says:

    Poor old Brady must have thought the public had bought his “Mr Nice” act, then the Doodlebug chimes in with his words of support. Brady must have thought “Oh f**k, where did they get this tosser from.” It’s incredible that only a couple of decades ago these nutters were ruling the roost.
