The diary of priesthood

Last Monday former President of Ireland Mary McAleese spoke on radio about how her brother had been violently and sadistically abused by Fr Malachy Finnegan.

On Thursday The Irish Times carried the story of 'Donal', who was savagely beaten by Fr Malachy Finnegan, who also asked the little boy obscene questions.

In the weekend edition of The Irish Times Patsy McGarry gives a detailed account of the life and times of Fr Malachy Finnegan.

These were the men who roared and screamed at young girls and boys about 'holy purity'.

It is all insane.

Has the Catholic Church any shame?

What about the men who were never caught and are now dead?

What about a State audit on it all?

Has there been a diocese or religious congregation that has of its own volition come forward and told the authorities about Fr A, B, C et al, who were never caught?

Is there a bishop or provincial who speaks to the truth in an atractive and humane fashion?

It is all vile and sick.

It's tedious, annoying, shameful too.
