the manchurian candidate

It was with a modicum of mild annoyance that I discovered today that the anti Catholic Irish Independent newspaper had once more renewed its attempts to ruin Cardinal Sean Brady by seeking to label him as a concealer of child abuse.
Cardinal Brady is the nice guy of Irish Catholicism.
I fear he is much too gentle a soul to deal with the Irish Independent's continuous attempts to smear him.
But there had been a lull.
The war against the Catholic Church has many fronts in Ireland.
The lines shift constantly.
The battles never really end though.
Now they are after Cardinal Brady again.
The anti Catholic Irish Independent is seeking to ruin Cardinal Brady as a punishment for his decision not to back liberal leftist Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martins' attempts to precipitate the Pope into firing every Bishop in Ireland and replacing them with Diarmuid Martin's hand picked liberal leftist successors.
The most virulently anti Catholic media groups in Europe, ie the anti Catholic Irish Independent, the anti Catholic Irish Times and the Stalinist State run broadcaster RTE, are all seeking to facilitate the installation of Archbishop Diarmuid Martin as titular leader of the Catholic Church in Ireland.
When you apply the word "titular" to Diarmuid Martin, you gotta do it with a certain relish folks.
You gotta sass it.
I ask you.
If Archbishop Diarmuid Martin isn't a leftist Soviet era infiltrator of the Church, why on earth are the most viciously anti Catholic media groups in Europe so in love with him?
If he's not what I say he is, then who the hell is he?
Arnold Schwarzenegger would have a field day.
(What? - Ed note)
The media smear campaign against Cardinal Brady is predicated upon the creation of a tendentious presumption of guilt stemming from the Cardinal's  having as a young man in the year 1975, taken notes at a meeting where sex abuse victims were interviewed by senior Churchmen.
The anti Catholic media groups of Ireland are mendaciously claiming that since the young Sean Brady didn't go to the police with what he heard at that meeting, he was guilty of concealing what he heard.
Do you see the artificial presumption of guilt that they are constructing here?
Never mind the fact that the Irish Times, Independent Newspapers and RTE have culpably, wantonly, and gratuitously concealed the 9999 sex abuse cases out of every 10,000 which involve no culprit with a connection to the Catholic Church, in order to mislead the general public into thinking that the one case in every 10,000 that occurs and does involve a Catholic, somehow represents the majority of cases.
That's some motherf--king cover up right there, as the immortal Ray Darcy might say.
But never mind that.
The contrivance of guilt for Cardinal Brady involves creating an assumption that if anyone hears about a sex abuse allegation, they must then immediately rush to the cops, or incur guilt themselves.
Be clear on this.
If you hear any allegation of abuse, these anti Catholic shills are pretending you become responsible for reporting it.
They're placing no responsibility to go to the police with the supposed victims themselves.
Nor with the supposed victims parents or friends.
Only with any Catholic who happens to hear of an allegation against a priest.
Their reasoning is twisted, invidious and malign.
But have no fear.
The anti Catholic media groups have devised this reasoning solely to ruin Catholic Bishops.
The general public is still comparatively safe.
You're not their targets yet.
Just so long as you never threaten or impede the power brokering atheistic agendas of Independent Newspapers, the Irish Times, or RTE.
So.
They ascribe manufactured guilt to Cardinal Brady for not going to the cops with details of that meeting in 1975.
They ascribe similarly manufactured guilt to Catholic Bishops who didn't go to the cops after hearing serious or frivolous, false or true, allegations of sex abuse against a priest in their employ.
Hmmm.
I'll have to ask for a Judge's Ruling here.
If Catholic Bishops incur guilt by not running to the cops every time there's a complaint, real or imagined, against one of their employees, shouldn't this standard of criminality be also applied to other institutions in Ireland.
Consider this.
A month ago, someone purporting to be an Independent Newspapers feature writer by the name of Paedophile Ian O'Doherty left a message on my answering machine threatening to break my fingers and "take everything I have."
I regularly refer to Paedophile Ian O'Doherty as you all know, as Paedophile Ian O'Doherty because he once falsely maliciously and malignly asserted in the pages of the Irish Independent that the Catholic Church is a paedophile ring.
Someone purporting to be the same individual had previously left a message threatening to kill me on the morning of my mother's funeral a little over a year ago.
Now.
Through a series of gently worded Open Letters on this website, I have made management at Independent Newspapers fully aware of the activities of someone purporting to be one of their employees who has on at least two separate occasions menaced me and my property and my family.
Does that mean that the management at Independent Newspapers has a duty to go to the cops on the off chance that the person threatening to break my fingers, take everything I have and kill me, is really their employee the real Paedophile Ian O'Doherty?
By the contrived standards of culpability being manufactured at Independent Newspapers in its campaign to ruin Cardinal Brady, it surely does.
Oh it's all so complicated.
I suppose we'll just have to thrash it out in open court.
Interestingly enough, this website has just had a few visits from Independent Newspapers lawyers, the firm of Ormsby, Prentice, Matheson, Testicle, Testicle, Wankshaft, Snurdface, Scrotum And Dick.
That's a lot of partners there.
Lovely lovely people.
I hope it stays fine for them.
