Catholicism in Ireland




Fr. Declan from Derry tweeted this this morning:
I honestly thought it was a mickey take. No Catholic could be this wrong, surely? So I looked it up on Facebook. You can too. I took a screenshot, incredulous:



This must be a parody account? I checked out the "about" page. Seems legit. The profile pic is the Bishop of Limerick Brendan Leahy who also features on the FB page, which is very Pope Francis (which make sense).


Not surprising Ireland is in so much trouble!

One thing's for sure, if the Bishop was condemning homosexual acts or advocating the old Mass, you can bet Archbishop Martin would be down on him like a ton of bricks. A huge part of the problem across the world is that the sort of propagation of misinformation, supplanting the Catholic faith with some kind of superstitious mysticism, pantheism or world-religion, is completely acceptable, even here on a diocesan page. Frankly Bishop Brendan Leahy should be ashamed he took such little care as to let this happen.

    And the cows eat the grass and break wind The flatulent gasses threaten the environment, and we add to that threat by becoming grass. And that, best beloved, is why people should be eradicated.

    Glory to Nature, our loving Mother.

Bishop John Arnold - "A Nasty Little Bully"

Pat Buckley has posted  a letter from a Salford priest giving the low down on what is going on in that diocese. I think it is really important because it is a report from the diocese, but also because if you pay attention to communications from the CCBEW you would think Bishop Arnold is the best bishop in the country! This despite the fact he is clearly seriously at odds with much of the Catholic faith and overly concerned with issues best described as mission creep. He advised the Catenian Association to drop "practicing Catholic" from its statutes and is obsessed with CAFOD and climate change, issues which might seem trendy, but in reality only diminish the Gospel. Arnold is chairman of CAFOD and approved the appointment of the current director who is clearly at odds with Catholic teaching . He also loves an "LGBTQI+ Mass" - more on some of that stuff here . To me he epitomises so many of the bishops: he likes the trappings and power but is very uncomfortable wit

Real Life Catholics on BBC TV defend Church Teaching on Contraception.

This morning on BBC TV Sunday Morning Live there was a good debate inspired by Melinda Gates (who identifies as Catholic) comments about the pope potentially changing doctrine on contraception. The Catholic contributors were Fr Paddy McCafferty, Clare Short and Obianuju Ekeocha. I think they did really well. Uju's direction is very interesting and easily wrong foots those who want to impose western ideas of morality on Africans in an imperialistic way. Interesting that the presenter agrees with her on this. Fr Paddy gave a great account of his experience as a priest. He was compassionate, realistic and honest, while upholding the value and importance of the doctrine. Clare said she had experience of both ways and the Catholic way is better by far. I thought that was awesome! I especially liked her focus on equality and bringing the responsibility of both husband & wife into the discussion. Watch out for the bit where the other lady says "Pope Francis has ind
