The Catholic bishop of Meath, Thomas Deenihan has apologised for the ‘hurt’ caused by a priest in his diocese, who posted a number of memes supporting far right-wing parties and conspiracy theories on his Facebook page.
Fr Fergal Cummins, who is a curate in Tullamore-Durrow in the diocese of Meath, has regularly posted on Facebook. According to yesterday’s Sunday Independent, topics included Covid-19 vaccines; that there is a UN Agenda 2030, whose goals include creating a one world government, the end of the family unit, the end of all private property, world depopulation and fertility control, the end of private farms and the end of animal ownership.
Elsewhere Fr Cummins posted a picture of Taoiseach Simon Harris, with the headline ‘Weak Men Allow Evil to Happen’ and ‘get them out’.
The posts have now been removed from Facebook.
According to Google Fr Cummins is closely associated with many agencies, including Radio Maria.
Did Fr Cummins in the past criticise comments made by Fr Brendan Hoban?
On the Youth 2000 newsletter he wrote a Gospel reflection for Sunday, November 27, 2022, which includes the following extract:
"A brief reminder that during Advent, each day, I strongly encourage you all: ~
1. In the morning (before work): Spend 10-15min in silent prayer & read four chapters of your Bible.
2. In the afternoon: go for a walk and pray both the rosary and the chaplet of divine mercy.
3. In the evening: Read a holy book for 30min (on the saints or the virtues) & examine your conscience."

Brilliant priest. Pity there are not more of his stature. There would be less problems in the World.
You really admire a priest who backs racist parties? What sort of message does that send out to the Indian and Filipino nurses at the Midland Regional Hospital in Tullamore, or the many Polish Catholics there, that their local priest endorses parties that want to expel them, or at least begrudges their presence.
I presume you are referring to the above comment. This blog finds what the priest says abhorrent.
