independent newspapers persecution of the catholic church
On Wednesday the Irish Independent newspaper reported from the trial of a priest who sexually molested an altar boy.
The abuse allegations were largely unspecified.
That is to say, the Irish Independent didn't specify with their normal lurid detail exactly what the priest had done.
The case was over twenty years old.
It was only just coming to court now.
The culprit had been on the run for more than a decade in England.
The Irish police obviously had some explaining to do themselves as to why they apparantly took no action to apprehend or extradite a sex abuser whose case was known to them and whose rough location was known to them for fourteen years.
The Irish Independent made great play in interpreting a statement by a Garda police officer on the witness stand to suggest that the Catholic church had somehow obstructed the investigation.
The Irish Independent report noted that the police officer had said he ran into "a wall of sand" when seeking information about the whereabouts of the priest from the Irish Catholic church.
This is not rocket science.
I am a failed provincial journalist and even I knew that the propagator of this statement needed to be subjected to proper cross examination.
Because there was a strong motivation for him to lie.
This statement is what we might call a leading statement.
It ascribes huge criminality in a seemingly throwaway line.
And the person saying it has a clear motive to ascribe criminality because he may not have a reasonable explanation for Garda inactivity on the case over the fourteen years the abuser was on the run in England.
Neither the Judge in court, nor the Irish Independent in its report, troubled to pose any serious questions about the Garda's casual ascription of limitless blame to the Catholic church in the matter of the police failure to take action against the abuser for fourteen years.
There are some very important questions to ask.
Namely these...
(1) Over the fourteen years how many times did the Irish police force An Garda Siochana seek to establish the whereabouts of the abuser who was on the run in England?
(2) Who exactly did the Garda Siochana question within the Irish Catholic Church about the location of the abuser in England?
(3) How many times over the fourteen years did the Garda Siochana seek information from the Irish Catholic Church about the location of an abuser on the run in England?
(4) Was the abuser known to be staying in a Catholic run residence?
(5) Why was action not taken to extradite him?
(6) What evidence has the Garda Siochana and this Garda witness in particular, that high officials within the Irish Catholic Church knew of the whereabouts of the abuser on the run in England?
(7) Why have the Garda Siochana not named the people within the Irish Catholic Church whom they are seeking to callumniate by alleging they "built a wall of sand" in front of a Garda investigation.
(8) Did the Garda Siochana approach any senior officials in the ENGLISH Catholic Church about an abusing priest thought to be on the run in England for fourteen years?
(9) If not why not?
(10) Did the Garda Siochana seek assistance from any ENGLISH police authorities in apprehending the abuser known to be on the run in England for fourteen years?
(11) If not why not?
(12) Exactly how many Garda man hours were logged to the investigation of this abuser during his fourteen years in England?
(13) What were the Irish police doing precisely, what procedures were they conducting, when and if they logged man hours to this investigation?
(14) Did they actually record any man hours on the investigation?
(15) Was the investigation simply left in abeyance for fourteen years after the abuser absconded from Ireland?
(16) How could Irish police spend fourteen years claiming they weren't taking any action against a child abuser who had been reported to them and who they knew to be living in England simply because the Irish Catholic Church didn't possess his forwarding address?
Are there any records relating to this investigation that the public can access?
(17) Were any man hours actually logged to the investigation?
(18) Is the Irish police force seeking to conceal its own inaction in pursuit of a sex abuser who had been reported to it, by ascribing guilt through inuendo to the Catholic Church for the failure of the police to take action.
(19) Why did the Judge commend the police officer in the court room when for more than a decade the police appear to have simply done nothing?
I have pointed out that in Ireland the major media groups Independent Newspapers, the Irish Times and RTE, have committed the worst crimes of which they accuse any Bishop.
They have concealed sex abuse.
They have failed to make clear to the public that 99.99 percent of sex abuse cases occur in the family home, in schools, in sports clubs, in paedophile rings, and at the hands of people who can in no way be linked to the Catholic Church.
Independent Newspapers, the Irish Times and RTE, working as the mouthpieces of shadowy forces within our judiciary, our civil service and our government, are seeking to destroy the Catholic Church so that they themselves can remake Ireland as a social dictatorship.
They have no real concern for sex abuse victims.
They ignore 99.99 percent of victims.
Sex Abuse is merely a Trojan Horse for them in their persecution and attempted vitiation of the Catholic Church.
As for the police.
I note the lack of any ongoing or far reaching Garda investigation into the murderous child abusing devil worship ring known to have operated in the Dublin village of Dalkey from at least the 1970's.
An eleven year old girl was impregnated by the ring of which her parents were a part.
The satanists murdered her baby.
The body of this baby was recovered by the police and inexplicably disposed of by them rather than being retained for evidence.
In adult life the eleven year old girl has emerged to tell her story.
Most notably to Nicola Tallant in the Sunday World. (Which is part of the Independent Newspapers group.)
She maintains that she was impregnated a second time by the satanists and that her second baby was also sacrificed to satan.
She says three members of An Garda Siochana were members of the devil worship ring.
For this reason and for reasons of basic natural justice, I would point out again that in a court of law where a sex abuse allegation is being investigated, in a case where there has been apparent Garda inaction for fourteen years in spite of the victim's family contacting the police and asking them to pursue the case, in circumstances like these, we really should not allow to go unquestioned any generalised unspecific nebulous claim from an investigating Garda that the church somehow stopped him taking action against an abuser who fled Ireland and was permitted to live without any police attention whatsoever in England for fourteen years. Wall of sand indeed.
Footnote: In the above mentioned court report, the Irish Independent did express praise for no less a personage than Archbishop Diarmuid Martin for establishing a child protection office in his area of responsibility. From this office the Irish Independent suggested the police finally received a tip off as to the whereabouts of the abuser in England. In the Irish Times reportage of the same case (which at least made clear when the offences happened, namely between 1979 and 1983, a full 27 years ago), there was no praise given to Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. My own analysis is that journalistic and judicial compliments directed towards Archbishop Diarmuid Martin are more about discrediting his predecessors than anything else. The media are engaged in a persecution of the church. But the persecutors aren't stupid. And they're awfully, awfully, fond of Archbishop Diarmuid Martin. The share price of Independent Newspapers is ten cents. The net indebtedness of Independent Newspapers is something around the thousand five hundred million mark. That's 1.5 billion dollars. Independent Newspapers is sinking giggling beneath the waves, still spouting the same anti Catholic claptrap that bankrupted it over the past thirty years. They don't know any other songs.
