First and foremost, salutations to Fr Brendan 'Lazarus' Quinlivan, who was appointed by Bishop Fintan 'Fear Na Bruíne' Monahan to throw a beady eye to all that is posted here, and indeed elsewhere in relation to the Diocese of Killaloe.
We sincerely hope that we are not keeping you from your pastoral duties and obligations in that regard, Brendan.
Now, just another piece for Bishop Fintan 'Fear Na Bruíne' Monahan to ponder upon....
Almost 15 years ago, our predecessors published a story here, entitled 'The Bishop And The Blonde', and no-one would have thought back then, or indeed now, that a similar headline in relation to a bishop of the same said diocese of Killaloe would find itself being published here.
You
see, Fintan, we know, but we want to offer you the opportunity to
explain, who the blonde female is that loiters around the gates of
Westbourne (bishops palace in Ennis) in her jogging gear, waiting for
you, on a not too infrequent basis, and as recently observed as last
Thursday (27th April 2023).
She
is somewhat your own unofficial video recorder of your little online
videos on Facebook and elsewhere, of your visits throughout the Diocese
of Killaloe, so does she travel in the same car as you?
This could possibly lead to suspicions, whether improper or otherwise, and no doubt you could/will protest that all is above board etc, but do you not still think it somewhat inappropriate?
Considering the advice/instructions you have issued to other clergy in relation to female contact/involvement etc, in recent times, will you be now seeking your own laicisation due to such inappropriate female 'involvement'?
Or will it continue to be rules for you and laws for all others?
