Irish Bishop Donal Murray Resigns Over Serial Child Rape Coverup In Catholic Church

1:07 pm EST December 17th, 2009 | Uncategorized | 12 Comments

It’s all still a coverup if none of these people is behind bars.

An Irish bishop has resigned, weeks after his handling of child sex abuse allegations was severely criticised.

A report on abuse by priests in the Dublin Archdiocese found Donal Murray’s handling of one case while an auxiliary bishop in the 1980s was ‘inexcusable’.

The Vatican said the Pope had accepted his resignation as bishop of Limerick.

    NAMBLAic Church

  2. Repack Rider says:

    The Bishop of Limerick resigned.

    He had a lot on his mind.

    The scandal had lingered

    The Bishop got fingered

    But not like the kids he maligned.

  3. Nick P. says:

    Repack Rider, you just made my day. I’ll be laughing for a while, now.

  4. Dkelsmith says:

    This is absolutely reprehensible. I think that the Bishop ought to get jail time as well. His inaction enabled that monster to keep abusing.

  5. Janus Daniels says:

    When does the pope resign?

  6. Once again, the liberals were scheming.
    “A dead Church!” is what they dreaming.
    When they found them a priest, on whom they could feast,
    it was in their pants they were creaming.

  7. Sean D. Martin says:

    Yes. How dreadful of people to criticize a pedophile. Can’t they see he’s a man of God?

    Shame on them.

    (Translated Frank: Thou shalt never criticize someone on the right. If they’re guilty of something it’s only of being an undeserving victim of the leftist mob.)

  8. Repack Rider says:

    Right, Frank, courts are overrated when it comes to dispensing justice.

    My limerick was imaginative and the use of the form was a comment itself, while yours was a pathetic attempt to copy my creativity with “sour grapes.”

    But you knew that, didn’t you?

  9. So Frank, you’re pro-child rape? Because everytime I note the systematic hiding of child rape by the Catholic church you cry anti-catholic bigotry. I’m not against any church, just groups of people who cover up child rape.

  10. calling all toasters says:

    we could tell Frank was on drugs for he
    was hallucinating liberal thuggery
    which gives him a stiffy
    but not as much if he
    could be committing the buggery

  11. canadian bacon says:

    There was a conservative named Franky
    Who was always crying into his hanky
    When Priests get caught
    He’s terribly distraught
    But he protects their integrity by being haughty

  12. Sean D. Martin says:

    Now that would be something I’d honestly like to see Frank honestly respond to. Not that I’ll hold my breath waiting. And if he does respond, I’m certain it will be in the childish tone we’ve come to expect from him.

    Frank: Here’s someone who protected and covered for pedophiles so that they could continue to rape children. You really have no problem with them facing no penalty other than being forced to retire?
