Eaters of Children :
The Pedocracy Exposed
by Giovanni Augustino “Johnny” Cirucci
Chapter 11
“A Gross Breach Of Trust...”
1978: Tony Walsh is ordained a Roman Catholic priest and begins his
“ministry” in the west Dublin parish of Ballyfermot, Ireland — a location
already stalked by pedophiles like radio personality Eamon Cooke and priests
William Carney and Francis McCarthy. Before even graduating seminary,
Walsh was accused of sexually abusing an 8 year old boy.
The serial criminal predations of the powerful pedophiles in Dublin were so
egregious that citizen outrage forced the formation of a government
“commission”.
It was chaired by a woman, Yvonne Murphy — a Circuit Court judge from
1998 to 2010.
Barely more forthright than historical examples like the Warren Commission
or the 9/11 Commission, the Murphy Commission’s agenda was essentially the
same: acknowledge some facts that have been duly hidden by compatriots in the
media while continuing to screen for the source of the crimes at the top.
Like the previous examples, few would bother to read the Murphy
Commission Report (published in 2009).
Even so, the exploits of Father Tony Murphy, “the singing priest”, were so
extreme that, at first his identity was protected under the pseudonym “Fr.
Jovito”. However, the section (Chapter 19) was ultimately redacted entirely,
along with the next (Chapter 20) dealing with the criminal predations of Father
Patrick Joseph McCabe (rather clumsily, to boot).
[li]
The material was eventually released but if few read the original Murphy
Report, even fewer read the missing chapters 5 years afterward.
The most shocking aspect of Murphy Chapter 19 is the extent to which
Church leadership, secular authorities and even the Catholic parents of the
victims enabled Walsh’s heinous acts.
As a result, we will examine them in detail but rest assured, the same chain
of events has occurred every time a predator came to light.
19.1 In 1995 Archbishop [Desmond] Connell [Archbishop of Dublin and
Primate of Ireland] wrote that Fr. Walsh “is a confirmed paedophile. He
was ordained in 1978, but even before his ordination – as it subsequently
appeared – he was engaged in paedophiliac activities with minors”.
19.2 Fr. Walsh is probably the most notorious child sexual abuser to have
come to the attention of the Commission. The Commission is aware of
more than 40 named people who have complained of child sexual abuse by
him. He has admitted to abusing many others...
Apparently recruited into his position of pedophile predator priest, Walsh
was immediately plugged in.
19.3 Fr. Walsh was born in 1954. He was ordained in 1978. The earliest
allegations against him predate his ordination. He himself has admitted
that he abused before he was ordained but most of the complaints about his
activities prior to 1978 did not surface until many years later. It is known
that during his time as a seminarian he had a key to the house of another
well known [sic] abuser, Fr. Noel Reynolds (see Chapter 35), and it is
alleged that some of the abuse took place in that house. While he was in
Clonliffe College, he organised visits by groups of altar boys to Clonliffe
and it is alleged that he abused some of them on the seminary premises.
A cabal of pedophile priests preyed upon the children of Ballyfermot like a
pack of hyenas in the midst of a flock of lambs.
They were organized and systematic.
During his final years at Clonliffe College, Fr. Bill Carney and his friend
Fr. Francis McCarthy visited children’s homes around Dublin, offering to
help the boys and girls with their school work and taking them out on day
trips that later became overnight trips and holidays.
They started an altar boy circle at Clonliffe College. When Carney and
McCarthy were ordained in 1974, Tony Walsh, who was still a seminarian,
took charge of the altar boys, leading the trips to Clonliffe College.
Carney was posted to Ballyfermot Vocational School, and his friend
McCarthy to Dunlavin in Co Wicklow. Carney used to visit McCarthy at
weekends in Dunlavin, according to the Murphy Report. Victims later told
the Murphy team that they were abused by both McCarthy and Carney. ~
Sunday Independent
[465]
What further enabled Walsh and continues to help the pedophile priesthood
is the criminal collusion of indoctrinated Roman Catholic parents.
Astoundingly, their loyalty to the Roman Beast feeding on their own children
outweighed any instincts or compassion they felt for their offspring.
First complaint, 1978
19.5 Fr. Walsh’s first appointment was to Ballyfermot parish in July 1978.
Two days after his appointment a complaint was received at Archbishop’s
House that he had sexually abused an eight-year-old boy. The abuse was
alleged to have taken place within the previous month at the house of the
aforementioned Fr. Noel Reynolds. The parents of the boy concerned
informed a priest about the alleged abuse. He in turn spoke to Archbishop
Ryan’s secretary. A note on the file to the Archbishop in July 1978 refers
to a “homosexual incident involving a young lad … and a newly ordained
Dublin diocesan priest”. The Archbishop asked a vicar general,
Monsignor Glennon, to investigate the matter.
19.6 It was noted by the priest to whom the complaint was made that “the
parents are most responsible people and there is no danger of publicity”.
The Archdiocese made no response to the boy’s parents nor, indeed, to the
priest to whom the complaint was made.
This kept everything “in-house” and allowed Walsh’s superiors to keep him
active.
When Walsh was finally examined by a court of law, first in 1995, and again
in 2010, details of his enabling by Catholic parents shocked juries.
The court heard that when one boy told his parents about the abuse, they
viciously beat him. “How can you say that about a man of God, a man of
the cloth?” they asked him before sending him back down to Walsh who
again molested him. ~ Irish Times
[466]
The process was (still is) both highly codified and yet as ancient as the
Roman Empire.
19.7 Fr. Walsh was interviewed by Monsignor Glennon. In his note of this
meeting, Monsignor Glennon described the alleged abuse as involving:
“osculae, amplexus and tactus immodesti”. This translates as kisses,
embraces and shameless touching.
19.8 Fr. Walsh categorically denied any abuse and stated that the boy
concerned had been merely sitting on his knee. The vicar general noted
that “Fr. [Walsh] impressed me as telling the truth.” Nothing further was
done.
Walsh went immediately back to work and, again, the next victim’s parent
brought her concerns back to the very Machine responsible for the predation,
rather than to the secular authorities to conduct a criminal investigation.
Next complaint, 1979
19.9 The next complaint was made by the mother of a 14-year-old boy who
alleged that he was abused by Fr. Walsh in Ballyfermot in 1978 and 1979.
The boy and his parents lived on the north side of Dublin. The abuse ended
when he told his mother. She promptly went to her parish priest who told
her that he would contact Archbishop’s House about the matter. After
some time had elapsed and no further word had been received, the boy’s
mother contacted the parish priest of Ballyfermot, Canon Val Rogers,
seeking some action. The only action taken was that Fr. Michael Cleary,
who was also based in Ballyfermot at the time, was sent to the boy’s house
some time [sic] in early 1980 in order to educate him on issues of male
sexuality. The mother told the
253Commission that Fr. Cleary did
apologise. There are no records available of any communication between
the boy’s family and the Archdiocese around this time. In 1985, Canon
Rogers told Monsignor [Alexander] Stenson that matters were “hushed
up” at the time of the mother’s complaint.
Certainly, when a trusted cleric exploits his position to prey upon an innocent
child, an “apology” usually serves the cause of justice to all concerned.
Sadly, secular authorities were little help when they were involved.
Playing the game, Walsh’s superior (Monsignor Alexander Stenson) sent the
serial predator for “counseling”.
Treatment
19.19 Monsignor Stenson recommended that Fr. Walsh approach a
psychiatrist with a view to addressing “his problem”. Fr. Walsh attended
the psychiatrist on two occasions. In June 1985, the psychiatrist told
Monsignor Stenson that Fr. Walsh was amenable to treatment and that
there were three treatment alternatives: medication, electric shock therapy
and what was referred to as the “re-orientation method to channel the
drive appropriately”. Fr. Walsh had elected for the third option as the
“lesser of the evils”. The psychiatrist was “‘cautiously optimistic’ that this
could be successful given the fact that Fr. [Walsh] had not the normal
sexual outlets available to him in virtue of his priesthood”.
Actually, the reverse is the stark truth.
Like alcoholics, a pedophile can never be fully “healed” but unlike alcoholics
they are a danger to children around them rather to themselves.
Most of us cannot think of a greater sin than hurting a child and when the
offense is a sex crime, well, we often feel even greater anger, if that’s
possible, against the perpetrator. It is terrifying to learn, then, that
treatment programs do not rehabilitate sexual offenders before they are
released from prison. So says Dr. David K. Ho, consultant forensic
psychiatrist, clinical research lead, South Essex Partnership University
NHS Foundation Trust, in his new opinion piece appearing in the British
Medical Journal.
“People should know that the treatments offenders receive in prisons and
secure hospitals lack evidence of efficacy,” Ho states.
Are we ready to heed his warning? While Ho, whose credentials suggest
he certainly knows his subject matter, speaks convincingly... ~ Medical
Daily
[467]
Even more surprising is Dr. Ho’s admonition that lust to defile children
sexually is related to other “non-traditional” sexual desires.
Typically, we think of sex crimes as including rape, child sex abuse, sexual
assault, female genital mutilation, incest, and the, in most people’s minds,
lesser crimes of exhibitionism and prostitution. Yet, sexual offending, says
Ho, “consists of a heterogeneous group of acts, which may not include but
are likely to include at least some elements of paraphilia,” defined as
mental disorders of sexual preference, such as pedophilia, voyeurism,
fetishism, exhibitionism, frotteurism (rubbing up against a non-consenting
person), sadomasochism, sexual sadism, sexual masochism, and disorders
not otherwise specified.
[468]
Although no authority would dare question the correlation between
homosexuality and pedophilia the evidence is there (and we will examine it
shortly).
The system remained tidy and self-contained thanks to Catholic parents who
brought their chicks back to the foxes.
Further complaint, October 1985
19.20 In October 1985, a parent complained to Fr. [Donal] O’Doherty, the
parish priest in Ballyfermot, that Fr. Walsh had indecently assaulted a
young girl. Fr. O’Doherty reported this to Bishop O’Mahony who, in turn,
told Monsignor Stenson. The psychiatrist was informed. Fr. Walsh denied
this allegation.
19.21 No further inquiries were made. There is no evidence that any new
treatment was considered. ...
In many municipalities it is now illegal for any medical professional to deal
with a known pedophile and not report the matter to law enforcement ... not that
such a report would bring results.
The unsuspecting Murphy investigator seemed flabbergasted that Walsh
could then be promoted with congratulations from Dublin Archbishop Dermot J.
Ryan.
19.21 ... Fr. Walsh was removed from Ballyfermot and appointed to
Westland Row. The Archbishop’s letter appointing him states: “I take this
opportunity to thank you for your dedicated work in Ballyfermot”. While
this is the standard formula in such appointments, it is, nevertheless,
astonishing that it could be used in the light of Fr. Walsh’s history in
Ballyfermot. Since he left Ballyfermot in 1985, numerous complainants
have come forward alleging abuse by Fr. Walsh while he was there.
The Murphy investigator continues to appear unaware that Walsh’s
promotion was a determined effort by his superiors to keep him active and
amongst a flock that had little idea he was a wolf in a priest’s collar.
19.24 At this stage, the Archdiocese was aware of four specific complaints
and a number of concerns.
[lii] Fr. Walsh had admitted to the abuse of three
children. It is difficult to understand how the seriousness of his situation
was not fully appreciated. It is also difficult to conclude that the move was
for any purpose other than to avoid further scandal in Ballyfermot. Fr.
Walsh was removed from a parish in which the parish priest was aware of
his activities
257 and was endeavouring to restrain him to a parish in which,
it would appear, the parish priest had no awareness of his proclivities.
The continued collaboration by Roman Catholic parents with the very
Leviathan that preyed upon their children insured Walsh’s free reign — even
when he left a trail of traumatized children in his wake.
19.25 Meanwhile, the mother of the 1979 complainant was in touch with
Monsignor Stenson because of her son’s continuing difficulties. She was
being assisted by a priest who was a member of a religious order. This
priest was clearly angry at the way the matter was being handled and he
upbraided the Archbishop for unsatisfactory responses to the mother’s
letters and said: “I think that [the mother] may be forgiven if she regards
this letter as an attempt to sweep the matter under a carpet”. He went on
to say: “Scandal has been given and serious harm done to a young boy by
a priest of the Archdiocese. If it is neither feasible nor desirable that this
unfortunate priest himself personally try to undo the damage he has done,
is it not your duty as his Superior to do so…”.
19.26 Monsignor Stenson met the mother who wanted help for her son and
wanted to ensure that Fr. Walsh did not carry on his singing activities
around her area. Monsignor Stenson noted: “I was impressed by this
woman who is obviously a concerned person and who is distressed by what
has happened to her son [...].
The fact that these parents were finally able to
locate a sympathetic priestly ear does not abrogate them from responsibility to
being accomplices in the abuse of their own children.
The fact that nothing came from the “angry” priest’s letters further validates
that said parents are criminally negligible.
An entertainment cover was created for the pedophile priests, like enemy
agents in a foreign nation (which is exactly what they were).
Over the years, Fr. Michael Cleary seemed to watch out for Walsh. Cleary
was then a charismatic, celebrity priest who was the “warm up” act for
Pope John Paul’s historic mass on his visit to Ireland in 1979.
Like Cleary, Walsh was a singer too. He was in a group of singing priests
who toured an act called the ‘Holy Show’ in which he did Elvis
impersonations.
Fr. Cleary had secrets of his own — long relationship with his housekeeper
with whom he fathered two sons. ~ Independent
[469]
Walsh left copious amounts of evidence that he was an arch criminal and
sexual deviant who even went as far as sedating his victims with intravenous
narcotics.
1987
19.28 In January 1987, the housekeeper to the administrator in Westland
Row alleged that she found items of her clothing in Fr. Walsh’s room. This
included underwear which, she alleged, had been “used”. She had to burn
the clothing. She also found condoms and syringes in his room. She
further mentioned that a number of boys had slept overnight in his bed and
a boy from Balllyfermot had been visiting. Monsignor Stenson noted that
he had “no doubt about her truthfulness”.
The mind boggles at the unending stream of Catholic parents willing to allow
their children to be violated by trusted clergy.
19.32 Monsignor Stenson met the parents who had made the most recent
complaint. He noted: “[The father] said that he would not like [J]
[liii]
to
suffer because of one misdemeanour. They pray for him and hope he can
get help. I was greatly impressed by this couple. They were extremely kind
and concerned. I did not indicate that there was a history of this
behaviour”.
A decade after the first reports of his criminal activities came to the attention
of his superiors, they finally acted...sending him to therapy.
But by now, even his therapist was showing deep concern.
19.34 In May 1988, ten years after the first complaint was made to the
Archdiocese, the Archbishop and the auxiliary bishops decided to send Fr.
Walsh to Stroud [a mental health facility in Gloucestershire, England] for
treatment. He was removed from his position in Westland Row in June
1988.
Stroud, 1988
19.35 Monsignor Stenson provided Stroud with a brief history of the
incidents he had investigated together with a copy of Fr. Walsh’s
statement.
260 Shortly after Fr. Walsh’s arrival in Stroud, his therapist
there reported to Monsignor Stenson that Fr. Walsh appeared to be more
realistic about his situation than other similar men. A month later,
Monsignor Stenson noted the following comments made by a psychologist
from Stroud: “[J]
[liv]
is ‘extremely compulsive – there have been an awful
lot of children involved he is a very disturbed man he is always going to be
dangerous. He could not be let near schools, children, Confession without
a grille etc…’”.
Note that the therapist made the report — not to law enforcement — but to
Church officials.
19.36 In its final report in November 1988, Stroud said that ... under no
circumstances should he [Walsh] have any apostolate involving children.
This was a secular British medical facility turning a clear threat to children
back to his religious hierarchy. That hierarchy did exactly what they have before
and since — put the monster back into circulation.
Not only did Walsh’s behavior show him to be a malignant serial predator,
he was also clearly a satanist who looked to cause physical, emotional and
spiritual harm from his position as a trusted religious representative.
On one occasion he sodomized a young boy with a crucifix.
[470]
After his “therapy” at Stroud, he resumed his activities.
19.43 In the meantime, Fr. Walsh started to resume his old behaviour.
Parents complained to Monsignor Stenson that, at a fete [“festival”] at All
Hallows [College] in August 1989, Fr. Walsh brought their son to his car,
sat him on his lap and “kissed him...”
Almost as astounding as the parents who enabled the pedophile to prey upon
their children, are the number of secular medical professionals who never
thought to report to anyone other than a Roman Catholic authority. That was
despite their findings that Walsh was an extremely dangerous individual in a key
position of trust that gave him access to countless unsuspecting families.
19.48 Further medical reports were received, in December 1989 and
January 1990, from the psychiatrist who had treated him in 1985 and from
the psychotherapist he had been attending since early 1989. The
psychiatrist’s report was described by Monsignor Stenson as “anything but
encouraging”. The psychiatrist considered that Fr. Walsh had made no
real progress over the four years 1985 – 1989.
Although there was talk of “laicization” (defrocking Walsh), no moves were
made to restrict him in any way.
In fact, he was allowed to return to where his crimes first began to again prey
upon the children of that same parish!
When a concerned parent realized what had happened, she did what she
thought she was supposed to...and complained to the Archdiocese.
19.57 In March 1991, a scout leader and a parent contacted the
Archdiocese to report that Fr. Walsh was back in Dublin.
[lv] Fr. Walsh had
been seen with a boy in his car and was calling frequently to this boy’s
house.
Still, the appearance of action had to be kept up.
19.59 At a bishops’ meeting in March 1991 it was decided to institute a
penal process against Fr. Walsh. The bishops also discussed informing the
Gardai but did not do so.
The Garda Síochána (“Guardians of the Peace”) or Gardaí are the national
police of Ireland; the Irish equivalent of the FBI.
In both cases the institutions are far more complicit in committing crimes
rather than solving them.
In relation to Father Tony Walsh, the Gardaí were his “secular” law
enforcement enablers.
In August of 1991, the first brave parent in 20 years of Walsh’s reign of
terror got in touch with law enforcement.
Sadly, she received the same response if she would’ve called the
Archdiocese like the rest.
19.64 In August 1991, Fr. Walsh had a review meeting with Monsignor Stenson
[lvi] where he expressed his dissatisfaction with Mellifont [an Abbey
where he received more “counseling”]. He refused to go to the therapeutic
centre in the UK stating that he was happy with his current therapist.
Concerns reported to Gardai
19.65 Shortly after this meeting, Fr. Walsh approached a young boy in
Drumcondra and, having established his name and address, asked him to
get into the car. The boy immediately went home and told his mother. The
following day he called to the boy’s house. The mother called the Gardai.
19.66 The garda investigation started in the absence of any specific
allegation of child sexual abuse.
[lvii] The Gardai contacted Mellifont. A
priest in Mellifont told the Gardai that Fr. Walsh was in Mellifont because
there were numerous allegations of paedophilia against him and referred
them to the Archdiocese. In his report on the matter in 2002, the garda
investigating the case stated that, as no crime had been committed, he
himself reported the matter (he does not say to whom and there is no
record of a report on the garda files) and then circulated Fr. Walsh’s car
number and a description of Fr. Walsh as being likely to engage in
paedophilia. No attempt was made at that stage to investigate the
statement that Fr. Walsh had been sent to Mellifont because of numerous
allegations of paedophilia.
The Gardaí response was lackadaisical and incompetent. Rather than
conduct an independent investigation, Gardaí asked the foxes if they’ve been in
the hen-house.
19.67 The Archdiocese took the fact that Fr. Walsh had now come to the
attention of the Gardai far more seriously than the Gardai did. Monsignor
Stenson noted: “Apparently [a garda] from Whitehall Garda Station had
been looking for a Fr. [Walsh] with an address at Mellifont. [Walsh] had
approached a child and the mother had complained to the Police. … I
rang [the garda] and explained who I was and what I had heard. I asked if
he could provide details. He did but wondered if [Walsh] had a record. I
evaded that but told him to proceed with whatever steps he thought he
should take.”
As the monster was coddled with counseling, he continued to prey upon
children unhindered by cops or clergy.
19.69 In September 1991, the Archbishop ordered Fr. Walsh to live in St.
John of God psychiatric hospital until such time as he was to be transferred
to the therapeutic centre in the U.K. On the night before he was due to
enter St John of God’s, he attempted to persuade a young boy aged 11,
whom he had baptised, into his car. The boy refused. He then followed the
boy to his house and attempted to persuade his sister that the boy should go
out with him. The family called the Gardai. In an interview with his
psychologist the following day Fr. Walsh described the boy as “incredibly
good looking”.
In fact, the Gardaí were even nice enough to tell Walsh’s superiors the coast
was clear. A pesky officer trying to do their job was handled proper.
19.70 A few days later, the garda investigating the concerns expressed in
August 1991 rang Monsignor Stenson inquiring about Fr. Walsh’s
whereabouts. It seems that gardai from another station had been in touch
with him concerning a young boy who had recently been approached by Fr.
Walsh outside a shopping centre. Monsignor Stenson told the garda that
Fr. Walsh was in St. John of God’s
[lviii] and that he had no access to his
car. It then emerged that this Garda was aware of an incident involving
Fr. Walsh and the most recent complainant which occurred a year earlier.
At the time, the garda reported the incident to the boy’s headmaster but did
not do anything else. Monsignor Stenson’s note of these contacts with the
garda ends: “[the garda] assured me that there was ‘no question of
prosecution’...”.
Embarrassed, the Murphy Report noted this “lapse” in duty.
19.73 ...for all practical purposes, any garda investigation into Fr.
Walsh’s activities ceased at this point even though by now, while there
were no specific complaints of child sexual abuse known to the Gardai,
they were aware of three incidents of suspicious behaviour. Of course,
Monsignor Stenson’s failure to tell the Gardai of the other known
allegations against Fr. Walsh meant that they were, as yet, unaware of the
bigger problem.
[lix]
Walsh continued to bounce from clinic to clinic rather than from prison to
prison. While at an unspecified clinic in the United Kingdom he admitted to
defiling over 100 boys.
[471]
The true and final numbers will never be known.
Said “U.K. clinic” appears to be unspecified by the Murphy Report to cover
their criminal enabling of Walsh!
1992
19.75 Fr. Walsh returned to the U.K. clinic in January 1992 to begin his
intensive course. A remarkable tale then emerged. Apparently the clinic
allowed Fr. Walsh to roam the streets of the nearby large city
unsupervised. He dressed in clerical attire and introduced himself to local
clergy and said mass in local churches. He befriended a family with young
children telling them that he was training as a counsellor at the clinic and
that if they saw him with other people in the street they should not
approach him as you could not be too careful around sex offenders. Fr.
Walsh visited their house and paid a lot of attention to their 11-year-old
son including sitting him on his lap. He agreed to baby-sit for their
children. By chance, the father of the children
270 called to the clinic where
the true story emerged. Fr. Walsh was immediately removed from the
clinic and returned to Ireland.
Certainly Walsh must’ve been sorely disappointed that the child’s father
wasn’t a more dutiful Catholic.
Despite Monsignor Stenson alerting the Gardaí to this latest incident,
corrective action was left to the foxes and it was as anemic as all previous
“actions”.
19.76 Monsignor Stenson reported Fr. Walsh’s return to the garda
sergeant and commented: “In view of Fr. [Walsh’s] behaviour in the past
you might give this information whatever attention you think it may
require”.
19.77 In March 1992, the bishops again decided that he was to be
instructed not to say mass, not to wear clerical dress and not to exercise
any functions of priesthood. He was to engage in a form of occupational
therapy and it was decided to inform a number of parish priests of the
position. He was also told that he could not use his car. He was given
work in the archdiocesan library.
Truly, the entire lot should be in prison awaiting sentencing; both cops and
clergy.
As his reign of terror began to burden “the Church”, moves were slowly
made to defrock him — but nothing more.
His own psychologist was astounded.
19.87 Fr. Walsh’s psychologist was not impressed with the decision to
dismiss him from the priesthood. He expressed his dissatisfaction to Fr.
Aidan McGrath (who was Fr. Walsh’s advocate or procurator during the
penal process) in September 1993: “As you know, I favour judgements in
the courts which both impose a punishment, but which allow genuine
change to lead to escape from that punishment. Good deeds can earn both
remission and forgiveness. [Walsh] faces no such prospect, and I wonder
why this kind of sentence was excluded”.
Perhaps if the psychologist had hounded law enforcement, personally, he
would’ve been more than simply “astounded”.
After decades of raping children, as Irish superiors finally began ineffective
action against Walsh, Rome intervened to insure even this was circumvented!
19.89 In October 1993, Fr. Walsh appealed to Rome against the decision
to dismiss him. ... In June 1994, the appellate judges in Rome allowed
[Walsh]
273
to remain in the clerical state...
As the years rolled on, Walsh continued to approach children unhindered.
No venue was sacred.
Perhaps, more accurately, no venue was “off limits” as Walsh clearly
associated Roman Catholicism with worship of Lucifer which he proved by his
incessant and heinous behavior.
During court proceedings in 2010 it was revealed that Walsh frequently used
the confessional to rape boys. Even presiding magistrate Frank O’Donnell (a
Catholic) was disturbed.
“It is difficult to imagine more reprehensible circumstances than a priest in
confession setting about the sexual abuse of a young boy,” the judge said.
“This is a gross breach of trust, and that’s putting it mildly.” ~ Irish
Times
[472]
In fact, as a Luciferian, Walsh found perverse pleasure in exploiting what his
victims would consider “holy” such as grooming boys during the funeral of a
family member (which he did repeatedly).
Although the Garda was now involved, Ireland’s Finest continued to sit on
the sidelines.
19.90 Meanwhile, a complaint of sexual assault was made to the Gardai.
In May 1994, a young boy complained to the Gardai in Ballyfermot that he
had been sexually assaulted by Fr. Walsh in the toilet of a pub following
the funeral of the boy’s grandfather. The family alleged that a similar
incident had happened a year earlier but they did not report it at the time.
The Gardai contacted Monsignor Stenson. Fr. Walsh attended the garda
station and declined to answer any questions. The Gardai told Monsignor
Stenson of their intention to arrest Fr. Walsh. They also told him that they
were in the process of “linking of various skeletons” and that press were
“sniffing out a story”. Fr. Walsh denied the allegation.
Notice that the good Catholic family could’ve reported a “similar incident”
previously, but didn’t.
The media got involved. Agents of the Devil’s Simulation there also made
sure that Walsh was still protected.
When one of Walsh’s victims became suicidal, his mother contacted ... well,
you know who.
19.91 In late 1994 there were newspaper reports about this latest incident;
these did not name either Fr. Walsh or the boy. In December 1994, a
mother of boys who had been abused by Fr. Walsh rang Monsignor
Stenson to say that her son was suicidal and that Fr. Walsh had been
babysitting in recent weeks.
This new “media attention” — despite being as anemic as the Garda response
— was still attacked by the clergy.
19.93 In spite of the mounting evidence and in the light of the recent media
coverage, Monsignor [Gerard] Sheehy advised Archbishop Connell: “I
think it important that every one of us should at this stage avoid any
excessive reaction – no matter what the civil law may say. Least of all
should we pay any real attention to the money-making posturing of the
media”.
Perhaps it’s not surprising that Sheehy would so aggressively defend a
monster like Father Tony Walsh; Sheehy was ordained at the same Holy Cross
seminary in Clonliffe.
[473]
Finally, in February of 1995, Walsh was charged with a single assault,
convicted and sentenced to a year in prison. [Murphy 19.95]
Astoundingly, he continued to walk free and the “problem” of where to
station him arose for “the Church”. [Murphy 19.98]
Now that he was a convicted pedophile, the Archdiocese decided it was a
good time to give up some of the extensive records of his activities. [Murphy
19.96]
Walsh was charged with new offenses in July of 1995 but the proceedings
were suspended so that the Garda could “collate all the cases.”
He continued to roam free, even as a convicted pedophile.
The Garda made no moves that weren’t first coordinated with the Church.
19.100 In July 1995, Fr. Walsh was charged with further sexual offences
in the District Court. The case was adjourned to allow the Gardai pursue
further investigations. In November 1995, the Gardai told Monsignor
Stenson that all garda stations had been asked to collate all cases they had
concerning Fr. Walsh.
Walsh further thwarted justice by exploiting free legal aid which gave him
eight more years of opportunity to rape children.
[474]
Over a year later, the convicted pedophile was finally defrocked, though still
roaming free and living at the Mount Melleray Abbey. [Murphy 19.104]
Sad to see Walsh put out, Pope Saint John Paul II and the Curia awarded the
serial child rapist £10,500 in “severance pay”. [19.105]
As the convictions rolled in, the courts played a judicial game of propaganda;
instead of requiring Walsh to serve terms for his offenses consecutively, they
were lumped together concurrently. This allowed the government to appear to
be hammering the priest with multiple convictions but, in actuality, he would
only be required to serve the time for a single one. [19.109]
One reason Walsh’s “therapists” never turned him over to authorities is
because they were paid by his superiors to keep things quiet.
This conflict of interest continued through the pedophile priest’s trials, much
to the anger of his victims. [19.111]
During the proceedings it surfaced that victims were displeased with relying
upon clergy for justice and restitution, although one can’t help but wonder why.
19.113 ...one complainant told the Commission that he was unhappy with
how he was treated and said that “the Church have failed me and still fail
me today”.
As Walsh’s concurrent prison time passed quickly, he came up for release.
It was September of 2001. [19.116]
[lx]
Upon his release, Walsh ignored his laicization and continued on as a Roman
Catholic priest! The response of Rome was to “threaten” him with
“excommunication” (which never occurred). [19-119]
As a result of the actions of Ireland’s law enforcement, judges, the Director
of Public Prosecutions and Catholic clergy from Dublin to Rome, Tony Walsh
continued to rape children as a defrocked priest even after his sickeningly short,
concurrent prison term(s).
19.122 Between 2002 and 2006, over 20 further individuals alleged that
they were abused by Walsh.
In 2010, Walsh was again brought into court and, again, Ireland’s “Justice
System” served up injustice.
It should be noted that the sickening leniency Walsh received was the
“harshest” of any pedophile priest.
Five of the 13 counts, for buggery, attracted sentences of 10, 12, 14, 16 and
16 years each. The remaining counts, for indecent assault, brought
sentences ranging from four to nine years. As Walsh is to serve his
sentences concurrently, 16 years is the maximum time he will spend in jail.
It is the most severe sentence ever imposed on a clerical child sex abuser in
the State. (Four years were suspended, as a psychologist’s report said it
was unlikely Walsh would offend again.) With good behaviour Walsh
could be out of jail in 2019.
Fr. Brendan Smyth, probably Ireland’s most notorious clerical paedophile,
was jailed for 12 years at the Circuit Criminal Court in July 1997. He died
a month into his sentence. Another notorious abuser, the Donegal priest
Fr. Eugene Greene, was released in 2008 after serving nine years of a 12-
year sentence. ~ Irish Times
[475]
What little “justice” was delivered by the agents of the Devil’s Simulation
was the result of citizens like one of his victims who hounded authorities for
seventeen years seeking for Walsh to be reined in.
[476]
The same scenario played out across decades of abuse but the details of just a
few incidents show what satanic sociopaths Tony Walsh, all such pedophiles and
all who aid them, are. He repeatedly mixed “sacred” religious paraphernalia in
with his crimes (part of the Luciferian ritual?) and was completely unfazed by
the pain he caused his child victims.
In David’s case Walsh did not plead guilty and forced a trial. The jury last
month found him guilty, unanimously and after just 94 minutes, on the 13
counts. The speed of the conviction was down to David himself, who, as
Justice O’Donnell said on Monday, had been “an absolute stalwart” in his
evidence to the court.
David’s victim-impact statement, prepared by the psychiatrist Prof Ivor
Browne, includes the details of three shocking incidents. One took place in
“a small tunnel” at the Phoenix Park, “towards the Furry Glen”, where
there was “a small cream mattress”. David was raped there by Walsh.
The boy “felt severe pain and cried a lot”.
Afterwards Walsh wiped him with “a purple sash (stole) he had with him”.
When Walsh picked up his jacket “a small receptacle for holding Holy
Communion wafers fell out of his pocket”. He brought David back to the
presbytery, “put on Elvis records ... and gave him a glass of Coke”. He
then showed David “a Bible with pictures of hell and said if he told anyone
he would burn in hell and never go to heaven and then he let him go
home”. ~ Irish Times
[477]
Shockingly, as David attempted to get help from his family, he was assaulted
again!
These were not isolated incidents. As Prof [Ivor] Browne [of the Rape
Crisis Centre and the Institute of Psychosocial Medicine in Sandycove,
Dublin] said in the victim-impact report, they were described in detail
“because they were particularly heinous”. But, he continued, “it should be
stressed that over the five years, between the ages of seven and 12, that this
abuse continued, David was raped anally and buggered by the priest on
average a couple of times a week.” When David told his uncle what Walsh
had been doing to him, his uncle also raped him “on a couple of
occasions”.
[478]
Were these just unbelievably bad circumstances or evidence of a network of
child rapists?
Although the link in this instance is tenuous, if one considers the possibility
that interdimensional agencies (“demons”) were contributing, it becomes more
likely.
Other victims like David continued to step forward and force government
officials to act. As a result, Tony Walsh is back in prison and not due for release
until 2023.
Even this can not be considered “justice”.
Unfortunately for Ireland’s citizenry, the Catholic Church saw to the
abolishment of the death penalty in 1964.
The criminal behavior from Ireland’s religious and “secular” authorities by
enabling monsters to prey upon the citizenry they are sworn to protect is why
Chapter 19 of the Murphy report was redacted.
John Charles McQuaid: Ruler of Catholic Ireland
One man not examined by the Murphy Commission was Archbishop John
McQuaid; arguably the most powerful man in Ireland during his tenure.
The HSE [Health Service Executive, the governmental authority for
Ireland’s Catholic-sponsored socialized medicine] has refused to explain
why an allegation that one of the most powerful figures in the Catholic
Church had abused a minor was not passed to a commission investigating
abuse in the Dublin Archdiocese.
Gardai last night said they were still investigating two complaints made
against former Archbishop of Dublin John Charles McQuaid.
Yesterday it emerged that one of the complaints — made in 2003 — was
never reported to the Murphy Commission.
Dr. McQuaid was archbishop between 1940 and 1972 and was criticised
by the commission for his failure to protect children from abusive priests.
He died in 1973.
Yesterday it emerged that the 2003 complaint was not forwarded to the
Murphy inquiry until May 2009, just as it was winding down.
Details of that complaint — and a second made directly to the Dublin
Archdiocese — were contained in the supplementary report to the Dublin
Archdiocese Investigation by the Murphy Commission.
The HSE refused to comment on why the allegation had never been
investigated. ~The Irish Independent [479]
In fact, despite the procedure of the Devil’s Simulation to only promote those
who partake in the defiling of children, Roman Catholic Bishops and Cardinals
remain untouched by media or law enforcement.
Yet the likelihood that they are criminals is absolutely assured, if only how
they enable the heinous acts of their subordinates.
But in McQuaid’s case, there is even more.
Allegations that Dr. McQuaid had abused children first emerged in 1999 in
a biography of the cleric by Irish Independent journalist John Cooney.
[480]
The usual procedure in addressing priest predations of waiting until the
perpetrator was a retired octogenarian was padded for Doctor McQuaid. The
Archbishop’s crimes lay unreported until Cooney’s book John Charles
McQuaid: Ruler of Catholic Ireland, was published — almost 40 years after
McQuaid’s death.
Even then, only a smattering of complaints were allowed to be addressed.
Two specific complaints and a separate unspecified “concern” against an
unidentified cleric were reported to the Murphy Commission, a state sponsored investigation into the handling of clerical sexual abuse of
children in the Dublin archdiocese.
The commission published its main report in 2009, but it said that “due to
human error” the latest allegations emerged only in a supplementary
report published in July. This does not name Archbishop McQuaid, but the
[Irish Times disclosed] that the allegations of abuse contained within it
refer to the archbishop. One allegation is regarding abuse of a 12-year old boy in 1961. ~ NY Times
[481]
Cooney noted that McQuaid reigned supreme in Ireland and that his
“Protestant opposition” was little of either.
Upon word of his death, top Protestant leaders immediately took up the
Catholic (pagan) practice of praying for the dead pedophile’s soul.
They also dropped their agendas to force the Irish government to give
Protestant Christianity equal footing in public affairs.
The unexpected death ... of Archbishop John Charles McQuaid deflected a
group of Protestant churchmen from taking the historic step of sanctioning
radical measures to eradicate sectarian bigotry in the North and to
promote an inclusive pluralist society in the Republic. ...
A few minutes later Alan Buchanan, the Church of Ireland Archbishop of
Dublin, rushed back into the room and announced in his strong Monaghan
accent, “Archbishop McQuaid is dead. Archbishop McQuaid is dead.”
Instantly, the Church of Ireland Primate of Armagh, George Otto Simms,
the Presbyterian, Jack Weir and the former Methodist President, Eric
Gallagher, stood in silent prayer with Buchanan for the soul of John
Charles. It was a spontaneous act of spiritual homage from the Protestant
leaders to the undisputed champion of Catholic supremacy.
Observing this remarkable event as The Irish Times religious affairs
correspondent, I was puzzled by such a show of reverence. Even in death,
McQuaid cast a heavy shadow. On Buchanan’s suggestion, the Protestant
church leaders sent a telegram of sympathy to Archbishop Dermot Ryan,
who 15 months earlier had succeeded McQuaid. More importantly, they
postponed a decision to invite Catholic observers to the Irish Council of
Churches. It was as if the ghost of John Charles chuckled at this proof of
Protestant indecision. ~ Irish Times
[482]
For a brief period of time, Rome’s death-grip on Ireland’s women and
children was challenged by Noël Browne, a Doctor of medicine and Minister in
the Dáil Éireann (the lower house of Ireland’s Legislature).
Because Browne rose against Catholic power, mention of his name and his
short-lived efforts to remove Vatican tyranny in hospitals are always addressed
with adjectives like “highly controversial”. His legislation was slammed as the
“Mother and Child Scheme” which “brought down” entire administrations!
Because he was “highly controversial”, Browne was frequently kicked out of
any political party he tried to affiliate with.
Despite being “highly controversial” he was immediately elected to Teachta
Dála (equivalent of an American Congressman, usually abbreviated “TD”) upon
arriving in a new party.
Noël Christopher Browne (20 December 1915 – 21 May 1997) was an Irish
politician and doctor.
[1] He holds the distinction of being one of only seven
TDs to be appointed Minister at the start of their first term in the Dáil. His
controversial Mother and Child Scheme in effect brought down the First
Inter-Party Government of John A. Costello in 1951.
Browne was a well-known but at times highly controversial public
representative, and managed to be a TD for five different political parties
(two of which he co-founded). These were Clann na Poblachta (resigned),
Fianna Fáil (expelled), National Progressive Democrats (co-founder),
Labour Party (resigned) and the Socialist Labour Party (co-founder). ~

[483]
___________
The Mother and Child Scheme was a healthcare programme in Ireland that
would later become remembered as a major political crisis involving
primarily the Irish Government and Roman Catholic Church in the early
1950s.
The scheme was referred to as the Mother and Child Service in legislation.
A brochure, “What the new service means to every family”, was prepared.
It explained the new service but was not issued to the public. The scheme
was engulfed in crisis before this could happen. ~ Wikipedia
[484]
Not realizing the true nature of the Catholic Church — that it is anything but “Christian” — the few who rise against it wrongly believe that secularism is the
preferred tactic when fighting such a Dragon.
However, it is an anticipated tactic and one that Rome’s enemies are
carefully maneuvered in to. Once immersed in the quagmire of no moral
authority above “government”, she steps into the vacuum and fully flexes her
muscles through her agents both overt and covert.
The Vatican’s influence in Ireland, particularly when wielded by Archbishop
John Charles McQuaid was all-encompassing.
None of his successors, Dermot Ryan, Kevin McNamara and Desmond
Connell, has exercised the enormous spiritual power, let alone the almost
unbounded temporal power, which he commanded.
It was not until the publication in 1987 of the de Valera papers relating to
the drafting of [Ireland’s] 1937 Constitution that the extent of McQuaid’s
power began to be fully appreciated.
These papers showed how McQuaid, as president of Blackrock College,
collaborated closely with de Valera
[lxi]
in drafting the fundamental law of
the State.
Even more importantly, the opening of the McQuaid archive a decade
later, in 1997, revealed a homespun spy system which had won the
admiration of the head of the FBI, the legendary J. Edgar Hoover.
A control freak, McQuaid mobilised government Departments, Dublin
Corporation, and the medical, legal and teaching professions to defend [the
Roman Catholic Church from all enemies
[lxii]
].
In the McQuaid story lies the awesome power exercised by the Catholic
Church in Ireland in the mid-twentieth century. ~ Cooney
[485]
According to his biographer, John Cooney, it was Archbishop McQuaid’s
mismanagement of Dublin diocese finances — which were on the brink of
bankruptcy in the 1970’s — that fostered his two heart attacks.
The biographer added this fascinating incident which occurred after the
highest Roman Catholic prelate in Ireland was undergoing care at St.
Columcille’s Hospital in the Dublin suburb of Loughlinstown from his second
heart attack:
Knowing that his end was approaching, he rose up from his pillow and
asked a Roscommon nurse if he had any chance of reaching heaven.
[486]
Following the Catholic (and very pagan) practice of literally worshipping
upon the dead, McQuaid’s body was given the highest honors.
McQuaid was buried under the High Altar in Dublin’s Pro-Cathedral...
[487]
It is a very un-Christian practice that goes back thousands of years.
Setting aside a special time and place in which to focus upon one’s
relationship with God — “going to church” — is a purely pagan
contrivance.
All cathedrals and most churches are built upon sacred burial sites (dead
bodies) because pagans believed that such sites facilitated interdimensional
communication through rituals like the “mass”.
From the earliest times the barrow was regarded as sacred ground,
and near it the pagan temple was erected. When we look at our
country churches, surrounded by rows of grass-covered mounds, we
see a type of the olden practice very little altered, indeed, for the
Christian Church was often built on the actual foundations of the
pagan temple ... ~ Puckle

Vatican City is a sacred “city of the dead” built upon an ancient Etruscan
grave site. ~ Secret History
[488]
Given John McQuaid’s tyrannical power in Ireland it is even more disturbing
to learn that his crimes went beyond merely covering for sexual deviant
predatory priests.
The astronomer Frederick O’Connor hand-built a telescope so the
Archbishop could view the stars and indulge a scholarly interest in
astronomy.
But according to John Cooney’s new book, John Charles McQuaid Ruler of
Catholic Ireland, the Archbishop used his eye in the sky for more prurient
pursuits.
The book alleges he used the powerful lens to spy on courting couples
making out on Killiney beach.
They allege that the Machiavellian churchman who effectively ruled the
church not only in Dublin, but in Ireland, for 32 years and impacted on the
affairs of State in a most profound way, was also a Peeping Tom in a
cassock. ...
These allegations of voyeurism were used to substantiate far more sinister
allegations contained in Cooney’s book and carried last week in the
Sunday Times, which claimed the Archbishop was a homosexual who
preyed on children. However, another allegation that the Archbishop also
used the telescope to spy on schoolgirls at a nearby convent was physically
possible and when we visited the turret this week we could see children
playing in the school grounds. ~ The Irish Independent
[489]
An important source for Cooney in regards to accusations that McQuaid was
a sexual deviant and a pedophile came from none other than Dr. Noël Browne.
That central allegation of paedophilia, inappropriate behaviour towards
children and an unhealthy and unsavoury interest in sex is based in part on
a manuscript by the late Noel Browne.
[490]
The source was an unpublished autobiography that included an interview
with a school inspector who had direct knowledge of McQuaid’s leanings.
John Cooney was given a copy of the controversial [work] by Dr. Browne’s
widow when he approached her following her husband’s death.
John Cooney’s book will state that Browne was convinced that the story
related by the school inspector pointed towards the Archbishop being a
paranoid schizophrenic as well as an abuser.
[491]
These are impeccable sources (mocked by the media) which show that the
Bishops, Cardinals and Popes who enable pedophile priests are doing so because
they are child predators, themselves.
That’s how they got “elected”.
