Silent Justice/ Internet Interceptors

Blah blah f**king blah

I'm sure like all of us,he is not proud in hindsight of a mistake,and knowing this would be highlighted by anti Catholics due to him being Cardinal.But he admitted his involvement and regret.I still share the views of the Protestant religious correspondent,Alf Mc Creary,Belfast Telegraph,who described him as a good and holy man,whose long ministry should not be defined by this.He certainly should not beat himself up.

Alf McCreary is a heretic since he is a Protestant . Brady ensured a child rapist was not arrested. Many more kids were violated.

Tony you don't get it... it's nothing to do with priest catholic or anything holy! This man was in a position to stop this, have a man arrested, and prevent anyone else from being raped!

Wouldn't matter if it was a teacher/doctor/youth worker or bricklayer he didn't tell the proper authorities...

Never use his age or the fact that he passed that information on to others as an excuse

[T Fearon]

Technically I agree with you,but so also could the parents,by your own logic.As I said before hundreds could have stopped Brendan Smyth,singling out just one is biased to say the least.

Whose to say the Police wouldn't have done what they did with the Priest who was strongly suspected of taking innocent lives by bombing Clady,and moving him to another parish across the border in alleged connivance with the Catholic Church and the British Government.Cardinal Conway arguably deserves much more stick for this than Sean Brady peripheral role as an interviewer when a junior priest.

Tiny put you back to 80's... would you tell police?

[T Fearon]

The Police should have been told immediately from the start of time,as they are today.

[Lar Naparka]

Allowed to continue? Do you think that was his intention? He told his superiors,the parents knew,so by your logic they all were complicit in "allowing it to continue" But I'm glad the simple logic is getting home,if you consider Sean Brady to be guilty,you must consider the parents equally so.

Wouldn't it have been much better if the parents had gone straight to the Police,like the parents that I referred to earlier at the leisure centre did,in 1978?

Why Tony?
Weren't the kids sworn to secrecy?
Weren't the parents under the impression that Smyth's depredations would be dealt with and he would no longer be a menace to children?
Aren't you trolling away like f**k, same as always?

[T Fearon]

Sworn to secrecy? No one has ever made me swear to anything? Look it is well known and the Church itself knows these matters were handled wrongly.But the simple fact is that if you consider those who knew but didn't go to the Police,you have to include the parents as well as clerics.Now the Police are informed immediately.I bet the Church wishes it had adopted this approach from day one

I always knew there was something dodgy about Dustin and Bosco. As for Zig and Zag well what can you say?

[T Fearon]

What makes intelligent people do this?

[Sandino]

The same thing that makes people post nasty hateful remarks after someone dies on the Death Notices thread.

What makes intelligent people do this?

What has intelligence got to do with sexual deviancy?

I'm sure the most reverend Fr Brendan Smyth got a good education at the seminary.

[Avondhu star]

What makes intelligent people do this?

Arrogance. They actually believe that they are too intelligent to be caught by mere police. How many people have been caught after using their own credit cards and computer to buy child pornography? They ignore the fact that police forces, intelligence agencies etc actually cooperate with each other. So its either arrogance or else their brain is in the hanging muscle
