A minor handicap compounded by the loss of a parent at the age of six. Perhaps further compounded by being abused by a priest at the age of ten. I viewed with envy the Irish aristocrats who dominated parochial and scholastic life as there seemed to be a “Murphy-O’Connor” or similar in every Catholic parish and school.<br /> <br />I met that Sadie Vacantisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823532366874114366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-62792022201473349752018-07-07T19:56:37.358+01:002018-07-07T19:56:37.358+01:00I saw KC walking down my local high street in his ...I saw KC walking down my local high street in his civvies just a few years before the scandal broke. His generation of priest were tasked to manage the collapse of the Church and they dutifully obliged. In my youth, I lazily blamed either them personally or "the Council" for this outcome. Now in my maturity, I see through all of this. <br /><br />One thing the late, Jonathon Bowden got Sadie Vacantisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823532366874114366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8940364093450837549.post-2469637271529588262018-07-07T09:59:14.934+01:002018-07-07T09:59:14.934+01:00Indeed, following my previous comment, there is a ...Indeed, following my previous comment, there is a definite trend in a lot of progressives that suggests they think gayness is somehow more virtuous that heterosexual behaviour. Not least, I suspect because it is seen to require a subjection to prejudice or shame, which itself now bestows a sort-of virtue on the victim, whomsoever they are and whatsoever they did/ do.

Some of these friends are themselves being asked about who knew what, and some are telling their stories. Apparently, the highest echelons of the hierarchy knew and did nothing and, it seems, those who are researching this, are almost ready to publish.
