house party to celebrate the destruction of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland

The Irish Independent has claimed that the current crop of sex abuse scandals first emerged in 1995.
This is a black lie.
It implies that Independent Newspapers and its allies began their present attempts to destroy the church comparatively recently.
The media groups of Ireland have in fact been endeavouring to destroy the church for at least four decades.
These media groups are not really concerned about the victims of sex abuse.
These media groups ignore 99.99 percent of sex abuse victims.
These media groups are solely concerned with sex abuse victims who can be used to create propaganda against the Catholic church.
I hope you priests and nuns are reading this.
I hope you'll think twice before you officiate at Tony O'Reilly, or Ger Collaran, or John Bowman's funerals, or weddings, or whatever plush bottomed anodyne celebration these great libertines want some Catholic credibility for.
Give them nothing.
Preach the anti Independent Newspapers crusade.
A newspaper group that owes one and a half billion quid to the banks because it has no readers, should not be in a position to terrorise us.
Ditto the readerless Irish Times which only exists on the back of government Health Board advertising..
Ditto the viewerless RTE which only exists because Catholic people are compelled by our kleptocratic Fianna Fail government to pay a licence fee to it.
Defy them.
Tell them to f--- off.
No the sex abuse scandals weren't first hijacked by Independent Newspapers, the Irish Times, and RTE in 1995.
Since the late 1970's I have been aware that Independent Newspapers, the Irish Times, and RTE, were pursuing a propaganda war against the Catholic church.
Certainly throughout the 1980's.
But much earlier too.
Patrick Kavanagh's poem about those strange pseudo elites who have struggled so long to destroy the church, actually dates from the 1950's.
Strange pseudo elites.
Sometimes I call them the media.
But really we don't know precisely what they are.
Feminist circles.
Old style communists.
Something else.
Something darker.
But they are real.
Here's what Kavanagh wrote about them.

HOUSE PARTY TO CELEBRATE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN IRELAND
by Patrick Kavanagh

Her book was out, and did she devastate
The Roman Catholic Church on every page!
And in Seamus's house they met to celebrate
With giggles high the dying monster's rage.

When Seamus gazed upon this woman he
Reflected on one absolute disgrace
Outside the bounds of every decency -
'A female replica of Cromwell's face'

Was how some rural savage had described
This noble woman - she was not blotched,
Her wart was a beauty mole. He had been bribed
To rhyme his sneer. Some Bishop had been touched.

So terrible was Seamus's emotion,
The sherry glass was dancing in his hand -
The Jansenistic priesthood of the nation
Had perished by this woman writer's hand.

With fighting admiration in his eyes
He could not see his wife but only Her.
He stammered: 'You did more than satirise.
Great artist! The Irish Voltaire.'

The reviews were coming in by every post,
Warm and fulsome - Seamus read extracts:
'The Roman Catholic Hierarchy must
Be purple now with rage. She states the facts

With wit, and wit is what they cannot bear.'
In far off parishes of Cork and Kerry
Old priests walked homeless in the winter air
As Seamus poured another pale dry sherry.
