an open letter to judge yvonne murphy

Judge Yvonne Murphy.

A report compiled by you into selected child abuse cases involving priests, has been used by the Irish media to force the resignation of a Bishop.

The media, mired in declining sales and moral irrelevancy, are seeking more scalps.

The Bishop of Limerick committed no crime beyond the purely notional crimes contrived in your report, the purely notional crimes of not handling sex abuse cases thirty years ago in the way in which you maintain they should be handled today. 

The arbitrary standard by which you impute guilt could of course be used to convict every single human being in the Irish Republic of covering up child abuse.

No family in Ireland is untouched by child abuse.

No institution is untouched by child abuse.

No profession Murphy is untouched by it.

I put it to you that your report is a base attempt to distract public attention from the current break down in law and order sweeping Ireland, a break down which has been caused by liberal members of the Judiciary such as yourself through your repeated release of violent and murderous and psychotisised drug dealing offenders into the community.

There's just 150 Judges in the Republic of Ireland.

My God you have done a lot of damage, haven't you.

In a few short years.

You have destroyed everything you've touched.

I put it to you that your report is an attempt to distract the general public from the Gerald Barry case, Gerald Barry being the man who various Judge Liberals and Defence Lawyer Liberals kept free no matter how many times he killed, raped or assaulted, kept him free I say, through legalistic manoeuvres, faux humanitarianism, and your own criminal incompetence.

Can you hear me Murphy?

You Judges kept Gerald Barry free to kill, kill, rape, rape, blind a pensioner, kill and rape again.

Congratulations Murphy.

Seriously though.

You're doing a brilliant job.

I put it to you that your report into the church's handling of child sex abuse is an arrant misrepresentation of the reality of child abuse in Ireland and of the methods in which the situation was dealt with in the past.

I put it to you that your failure (and the media's failure) to make clear to the general public that 99.99 percent of sex abuse cases do not involve churchmen, amounts to nothing loss than a grotesque concealment of the true situation.

You have committed the worst crime of which you have accused any Bishop.

By failing to make the true extent of sex abuse clear in your report, by contenting yourself with feigned outrage towards Bishops, you have arrogantly, arrantly and malignly concealed sex abuse.

You and your friends in the Irish Times, and Independent Newspapers, and the Daily Mail, and RTE.

You should hang your heads in shame.

I put it to you Murphy, that the motivation of Judges like yourself is not above board and should not be above question.

Murphy.

Are you a feminist?

Are you an atheist?

Are you a communist?

Are you an abortionist?

Are you part of any wide ranging conspiracy within Irish society to dechristianise our country?

Do you regard the Catholic church as the enemy of all women?

I'm fishing here Murphy.

Am I getting close on any of these?

Tell me Murphy.

If I don't think you're fit to be a Judge, is there anything I can do about it?

I mean as a citizen.

It's okay Murphy.

We all know the answer.

Tell me again Murphy.

Is there one standard for child sex abuse relating to the church and another relating to Judges?

You know who I'm talking about Murphy.

You know I'm talking about the Judge whose house was searched after an Interpol tip off that he was accessing child pornography, and whose computer was found to have images of extreme child pornography stored on it, and yet whose trial was rendered impossible because, surprise surprise, a "careless" Irish police officer enacted the search warrant a day late and a "dedicated" Judge decided that the crucial one day of lateness meant the images of child sex abuse violations stored on his computer for his delectation and enjoyment, were not admissable in a court of law.

Amazing wasn't it Murphy?
Do you remember?
His name was Judge Brian Curtin.
You and your fellow Judges and the courts service and the police and the government contrived to conceal his crime and disregard his culpability.
Together and separately you ensured he never faced a court of law for his crimes and was permitted to quietly retire from the bench.
You and your ilk cut him loose and set him free.
I guess we can all take our chances that Judge Brian Curtin will himself personally limit his predilection for seeing children violated to remote viewing.
No role for law enforcement there, eh.
I ask again.

Do you think a Judge who pays to see children raped on the internet is guilty of sexually abusing children?

It's okay Murphy.

Don't bother answering.

Such complicated moral issues might distress you.

You who are so clear thinking when it comes to blaming Bishops for sex abuse committed by priests in their employ.

You know what Murphy.

I don't care what you think.

You've given me no reason to respect any opinion you might hold.

I'll tell you what I think.

I put it to you that anyone viewing child pornography on the internet is financing the violation, enslavement, degradation, kidnapping, rape and murder of children.

Such people are themselves sexually abusing children.

Tell me.

Knowing that a Judge has viewed this material, and knowing which Judge has done so, what steps do you intend to take to protect children from this Judge in the future?

That was your method of imputing guilt to Bishops who had committed no crimes, wasn't it?

You suggested that the Bishops hadn't taken sufficient steps to protect children from their abusing priest colleagues.

Yeah.

One law for the liberals and one law for the Christians who built our country, our nation and our culture.

Murphy you make me sick.

Now how about the case of a police officer who enacts a search warrant a day late on the premises of a Judge who likes to watch videos of children being raped?

What's he guilty of?

Is he guilty of anything Murphy?

What are you going to do about him?

And what about the police officer who was himself accessing child pornography from Police Head Quarters in Dublin?

What about him Murphy?

Was he committing child abuse?

The Deputy of Public Prosecutions dithered for a year and a half before announcing no charges were being pressed.

How very consistent of him.

Tell me Murphy.

Did those police and Judges accessing child pornography websites, did those additional police and Judges who decided to search their premises a day late and then not to charge them with any crime, did any of these people commit child abuse?

I've got news for you Murphy.

All of them did.

All of them committed crimes far worse than the notional crimes you and your liberal friends have devised in order to persecute the Catholic Church.

The children on those computer screens are being raped and murdered right now Murphy.

Tell me Murphy.

Are you accountable to anyone?

Will you ever have to give an explanation for your behaviour and the behaviour of the other bumpkin millionaire child abusing Judges of the Republic of Ireland whose compassion for criminals has given us the violent society and whose misrepresentation of child abuse issues is being used as a Trojan Horse to erase 1500 years of Christianity in this country?

Do you answer to anyone Murphy?

I'll see you in hell.

James Healy
