We have been contacted by nearly thirty people saying that they have sent off copies of the above letter to he DPP. We urge as many people as possible to follow the example . When he first retired McGee was walking around Cobh proud as a peacock but has gone into hiding somewhere around Michelstown since recent demands for his prosecution for the cover-up of child abuse in Cloyne.

According to today's Irish Times , Magee may be called by the State to give evidence for the prosecution in the case against another priest of the diocese of Cloyne, Fr Brendan Wrixon , who has been charged with committing an act of gross indecency with a teenager, then aged approximately 16 or 17, at the Convent of Mercy, Bathview, Mallow, in 1982.

Regina Louf witness X1 was declared mad but all her statements were accurate and correct and she witnessed the murders of missing chidren and their bodies were found back in exactly the same circumstances that she discribed.
from her tesimonies we can read:
'Since 1992, Brassine was in contact with Pascal Willems, a fellow-psychotherapist. Willems looked after two children (8-10 years) who were victims of child molesters and Satanists... The children would have participated in a combined feast and orgy organized by Melchior Wathelet in a castle located in the region of Verviers. The castle belongs to a private association. Willems would be in the possession of an invitation... This [abuse] went on until the children were put to death. The children came from a children's home with a complicit director.'
What was going on around the institutions in Ireland? If the gardai do not investigate properly and 'lose' evidence or tamper with it, then they too have to be brought to justice. Only the people can demand this. DEMAND IT!

Concerned people who sent letters to the DPP have reported to Religious Abuse Truth that the DPP have replied by saying that people writing to ask the office to bring criminal charges against bishops who covered-up for child-abusing clerics are breaking the law . Given the long and sordid history of various departments of the state in the cover-up of child-abusing clerics , we are not surprsied at this. We are looking into the legal aspects of what we consider may be the latest attempt by the establishment to look after its own ,but can assure the DPP that we will not be intimdated . We would urge anybody who has received any threatening communication from the DPP to contact Religious Abuse Truth.
In the same week the DPP decided against the prosecution of the disgraced ex-bishop ,John Magee, it withdrew four abuse charges against a priest from the Cloyne diocese .

THE Rape Crisis Centre said last week the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) should meet the victims of clerical abuse in Cloyne to discuss his decision not to seek prosecution against the alleged serial paedophile in the 2008 Cloyne report.Two years ago, the National Board for Safeguarding Children (NBSC) reported that the policy of the Cloyne diocese in relation to allegations against Father B was to “give minimum information to the gardai”.

Cloyne clerical abuse victims have refused to take part in the canonical trial of the priest in question that was proposed by the church. The abuse survivors insist on criminal prosecutions against Father B who is still at liberty. One of them told the Irish Examiner last week about the outrage felt by survivors at the DPP decision.
"Words cannot express our anger at the thought that this priest, who has been protected for so long by the diocese, will get away with even more injustice.”

The DPP clean bill of health for the priest, the dioscese and its cover-up bishop, John Magee, allows the Cloyne Diocese to get back to business as normal. The diocese is at this moment publicly advertising the post of administrator for its Youth Centre in Mallow - presumably with confidence of state backing and funding. The DPP decision allows the Cloyne DioscesanYouth Service ( CDYS) to add insult to the injury of those whose childhoods and youth were destroyed by Father B . The DPP absolution serves as an endorsement of the CDYS and its hypocritical website statement that it “exists to serve the young people of Mallow, Fermoy, Midleton, Cobh and Macroom”.
CDYS offers youth services such as an anger management course: “a programme which can be carried out by your local youth worker on a one to one or group basis.” see http://www.cdys.ie/ Clerical abuse victims from Cork, who described their feelings towards the diocese as “livid” in the Examiner article linked to above, are not expected to attend any of these anger management courses kindly provided by the Cloyne Dioscese.

Religious Abuse Truth will continue to support all victims of clerical abuse and continue to demand that the DPP brings criminal prosecutions against criminal clerical child abusers and the criminals who have covered up for them such as former Bishop John Magee of Cloyne .

The Irish Examiner reported last week on the sudden cancellation of a meeting planned for Cork that weekend to which all priests in the North and Cork Diocese had been invited. The “internal meeting” had been called to discuss strategies ahead of the publication of the Murphy Report into clerical abuse in the Cloyne diocese.

A spokesman for the diocese ,Fr Jim Killeen , refused to say if the meeting would be held at another date. According to the Irish Examiner , there had been fears a Dublin-based survivors’ group could picket the meeting.

On Jan 15 and 16 supporters of Religious Abuse Truth (RAT) and the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) held a joint picket in Cork in support of the North Cork Ten's demand for criminal prosecution to be brought against the priest who abused them. The Cork protest followed a successful picket of the office Director of Public Prosecutions by RAT earlier in the month.

The abused women expressed outrage that the Archbishop of Cashel ,Dermot Clifford , had brought a clinical psychologist from UCD to counsel and prepare clerics ahead of the Cloyne Report while no such counseling had been offered to them.

Counselling for the perpetRATors for the trauma of having their crimes exposed.
Closed doors for the long-suffering victims; and the taxpayer picking up the compensation bill, deo gratias Michael Woods(FF), as the minister for Blasphemy covers all arses ecclesiastical.

I had the pleasure of being the first recorded failure of the religious exams we had to do along with the Leaving cert, way back when, mainly because the CB teaching the subject had deliberately burst my ear-drum for resisting his advances(easily done, as I learned instantly,with a cupped hand clatter).
But I do recall a line somewhere in their scripture that says something to the effect of: if you harm a child you'd be better off to have had a millstone strung round your neck and been dropped in the deep end.

Perhaps you could incorporate a millstone into your vigils, to draw attention to the depths of these slimeballs' depravity and hypocrisy, not to mention their betrayal of the teachings of their organisations purported founder.

Cloyne has 18 paedophiles (http://www.independent.ie/national-news/the-claims-not-....html) amongst just 132 priests (http://www.cloynediocese.ie/priests-of-the-diocese/).

That equates to 13.6% paedophiles. What happened in their selection or training that such a high proportion of priests here are paedophiles? Did the hierarchy encourage it as the lesser of two evils, perpetrate it within the seminaries or otherwise breed paedophilia into the diocesan mind-set?

It is safer to leave your children with a convicted sex offender than in the care of Irish Catholic priests, because most sex offenders have no interest in molesting children (47 of 694 or 6.8% of convictions in 2010).
