Breen rants on UTV News that the Pope is not welcome in Ireland.
Following the release of a report by a Commission into abuse in Catholic and Irish State Institutions the media has whipped up a frenzy of anti Catholic sentiments culminating last night in the journalist, Suzanne Breen, calling for our Church to be “run out of town.”
In a scene reminiscent of the anti clerical attacks on the Church in previous centuries, (Spain, France, Ireland) the UTV news descended into farce as two well known left wing journalists, including Breen, vented their spleen against the Church in the wake of the commission’s report which states that children were abused in institutions run by the Catholic Church in Ireland. Breen concluded by stating that the Pope would not be welcome in Ireland after the anouncement of a possible Papal visit.
Catholic priest and writer, the late Father Malichi Martin, was correct in fortelling that the world would use the scandal of abuse in the Church unleashed by the novelties of Vatican 11 as a whip to lash the Church.
We are to believe, if we listen to the news that every Priest, Nun, Bishop and infact the whole Church and all its institutions including Catholic lay people are to blame for this abuse. As pictures of Our Lord crucified and Our Lady weeping were flashed across TV screens to the sound of church music a plaitiff voice recited a litany of abuse including “strict discipline” and “authoritarian regimes” alongsinde sexual abuse.
The criminal activity of some of the clergy in the last forty years since Vatican 11 will now be used to try and crush the Church in Ireland once again. Church detractors who have long since awaited this moment will wish us to feel collective guilt for the actions of some members of the clergy. However the commission of a sin or a crime is a matter for the individual. We are not expected to go into the confessional and confess the sins of others. We are only guilty of those sins we ourselves commit.
Why no prosecutions?
We learn from the secular news that there are however to be no prosecutions. Anyone abusing children , especially those who commit sexual assaults on children should be prosecuted. The commission who wrote the report cannot restrict the proper process of the law. If there is evidence of the sort of criminal abuse listed in the news reports then the victims should take this to the police, whatever the report states. These matters and allegations should be aired in public courts where we can see the truth and the evidence of exactly what went on.
In the meantime it suits the media that no formal prosecutions will happen. They can pretend that as one journalist said last night “35 thousand poor souls” were affected by this abuse. They can also continue to lash the whole Church for the acts of some of its members.
Time for Conscilliar Church to admit complete failure.
Will the concilliar Church now take action and realise the complete failure of Vatican 11? Will they in any way be able to console those who as children who were subjected to sexual assaults by rogue priests? The moderinst in the Church have had a free hand and have led us into this diabolical state. Innocent children have suffered unspeakable crimes at the hands of people who would never have been allowed near a seminary in previous days. The Church is weak and the attack will continue.
Turn back to the Traditional Church
In the meantime many Catholics worldwide have already seen the corruption of Vatican 11 and have turned back to Tradition. We pray for the Pope to consecrate Russia and the defeat of all communists within and outside the Church.
Dear St Joan Of Arc Pray For Us.
This is the last portrait of the Madonna and Child acomplished by Bellini. This subject was his particular favourite as can be seen in the tenderness apparent from the painting.

These crimes are horrible and our first thoughts must be for the victims of this abuse. It is wrong however, to lay the blame totally at the door of the Second Vatican Council. Many Problematic ( to the point of heretical) things have been done in the name of this council, more than can be mentioned here, but the problems of abuse predated the council by years. Pope Leo XII told of the trials that would afflict the Church in the 2oth Century and I believe this is the most serious of them.

I have heard of some abuse cases before VII so I don’t think ALL the blame can be laid there. Although, we know post VII abuses exacerbated the problem.
This is the work of Satan, I would like to see the prosecutions as I don’t believe the figures at all.
For the record I attended Convent for all of my education and the religious were by far better in every way than the lay teachers.
Also don’t underestimate the attraction of litigation against the Church – she pays the larges compo.
The timing of this is also interesting.
