an open letter to geraldine kennedy editor of the irish times

Dear Sir or Madam or Whatever.
Some of your articles caught my eye recently.
On Monday 26th July 2010 you permitted feminist Mary Condren to egregiously slander the Catholic Church by falsely claiming that the church considered child abuse a less serious crime than ordaining women as priests.
You allowed Mary Condren to construct a tissue of poorly referenced pseudo rationalities to justify her bigoted lies.
You highlighted Mary Condren's mendacious manipulations with a banner headline maliciously proclaiming: "Latest Vatican Document Is Final Straw For Women."
This article was a blatent incitement to hatred.
How dare you.
Yesterday you printed an article on your cover wherein you highlighted the views of an 80 year old private citizen who now doubts the genuineness of her conversion to Catholicism.
You didn't present her views as an unknown life long liberal having doubts about her own conversion.
You presented her views on your cover as a clarion call for a boycott of church services.
You also favoured her with the opportunity on your cover to call for the ordination of women, the creation of a married clergy, and the institution of other liberal atheistic agendas within the ancient church.
Now Geraldine Kennedy.
There was no reason for you to pick one particular 80 year old who holds these views and ignore the thousands of 80 year olds who reject those views.
There was no reason for you to put on your cover yet another sensationalist call for a boycott of the church from an anonymous unknown figure.
This article also was a manipulation and an unsubtle assault on the ancient church.
How dare you.
I am aware that your newspaper is losing over a hundred million dollars a year.
I am aware that you are paid in excess of 400,000 dollars a year.
You are historically Madam the greatest single incompetent to ever disgrace Irish journalism.
And with the presence in the cistern of Tony O'Reilly's moth eaten losers, that's some accomplishment.
Today, Thursday 12th August you printed an article on your cover by atheistic bigot Pasty McGarry (you style him Religious Affairs Correspondent) attacking the Catholic Church for contrived reasons relating to your own attempted manipulation of sex abuse issues and your failed attempts in collusion with Independent Newspapers, elements of the Judiciary and others, to compel a generation of Irish Bishops to resign.
You put this drivel on your cover.
You maintained in direct contravention of the truth that the public wanted the Bishops to resign.
Well Kennedy, I suppose if you're going to tell a lie you might as well tell a big one.
Here's the rub.
On Thursday the entire country was focussed on a much more important, more immediate story, than yet another wearisome propaganda piece in your forty year culture war with the Catholic faith.
The entire country Miz Kennedy, was concerned about the release into the community of serial killer Larry Murphy, who police suspect kidnapped, violated, raped and slaughtered Deirdre Jacob, Jo Jo Dullard, Annie McCarrick and others.
On the day of Larry Murphy's release you didn't trouble to report the matter at all.
Larry Murphy's release wasn't on your front page.
He wasn't anywhere in your newspaper.
There were oblique references to him in an article on calls for sex offenders to be compulsorily tagged with tracking devices.
The article made no mention of the girls Murphy tortured and killed.
So here's the thing.
I put it to you.
You failed to focus on public concerns about serial killer Larry Murphy's release in your edition on Thursday because the release of Larry Murphy has come about through the deluded atheistic liberalism of Ireland's Judiciary, lawyers, Senior Civil Servants and prison wardens, an atheistic liberalism which has largely and tirelessly been fostered by, and in collusion, with the Irish Times.
Even the other liberal hack newspapers, Tony O'Reilly's hoor masters at Independent House, and the parvenus of the Daily Mail, even they honorably and courageously sought to represent the sheer horror, anger and revulsion ordinary people of all backgrounds and political dispositions, feel at the release of Larry Murphy.
But not you.
Instead you dedicated Thursday's edition of the Irish Times to your own ongoing and vicious persecution of the Christian faith in this country.
Well done Geraldine Kennedy.
That is why your newspaper is losing a hundred million dollars a year.
James Healy
PS: How dare you.
