Youtube is becoming an increasingly interesting resource and is being used as a form of open video archiving.
Tonight on irishrepublican.net I came across two pieces on republican priests.
Fr Patrick Ryan
Fr Pat Moloney
Interesting BBC article on an upcoming presentation and talk [Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre, 17 August] by lecturer and broadcaster Stephen Price on the subject of his new book – The Earl Bishop. The 18th Century ”Earl Bishop” was Frederick Augustus Hervey, fourth Earl of Bristol and Church of Ireland Bishop of Derry. Hervey was also elected [...] read our review »
I share many of the concerns of Andy Pollak, whose recent post ‘My Response to the Slugger Begrudgers’ zeroed in on the ‘relentless flow of negativity’ of some Slugger commentators. Pollak’s post was largely concerned with the medium of the blog. Indeed, I think the anonymity of the online world encourages extreme discourse and allows [...] read our review »
Great little review of Listening to Van Morrison by Griel Marcus… It’s a short book, not a biography or a career survey, but an attempt to follow those moments in Morrison’s music, as he’s made it from his first records with Them, from Belfast in 1965 to the present day, when something happens that breaks [...] read our review »
Oh dear, Mark-Aren’t you just inviting the usual numbskulls to indulge in their favourite sport of villifying the Holy Roman Empire?
Mark
Listened to Pat Moloney video. It’s typical of the nutcase priest who plays to an audience and uses his position to promote everything but Jesus Christ.
Even republican priests are antichristian. What point are you trying to make?
That money was just resting in his account.
He talks of Easter and does not mention the name Jesus Christ.
He talks of freedom but does not say that some who fought for it denied the right to life to many thousands.
Priests and politics do not mix.
John,
No point being made. I’m linking something that interested me.
It was a perfectly legitimate monetary transfer.
Fathere Patrick Ryan?………that mad auld bastard….he should have been on Father Ted!
So if he was so bad was wasn’t he wanted for extradition under something that was extraditable rather than just something that was a crime in the U.K. and not elsewhere?
The ethos of Irish Republicanism captured in two short video clips.
A great resource for posterity when the question is asked about what happened in Ireland during the 20th Century.
I’m sure all their fellow travellers in the ‘movement’ are proud of these fine Christian gentlemen.
And some people are turning away from religion
“WHY”
This is disturbing.
You would think he would know stab city was not a capital city if he was born there. Also his reference to how belfast crossmaglen and parts of tyrone did not reap the benefits of the celtic tiger with a soft c of course. Who suggested they did?
It is interesting all the same, I mind reading how Bik mc Farlane seriously considred the priesthood before deciding to become an IRA volunteer as he felt he could serve his community better as a volunteer. I think its mentioned in ten men dead.
I wonder if that would be an ecumenical matter.
I think I know Iris robinson’s favourite quote from the show.
Father Ted: The way I feel now I could convert gays!
I’ve transcripted this from the video provided by Mark, so there may be errors:
In relation to Father Patrick Ryans’s statement in which he said, [i]“Father Patrick Ryan will never, will never, be tried in any court on behalf of the enemy who’s occupying our country. I would die a thousand deaths before I would permit that to happen, and no apologies for that.”[/i]
This Priest is definitely a servant to the Vatican Canons and has little respect for the constitutions of man. I’ll reveal more:
[b]“It is not lawful for a layman to sit in judgment upon a clergyman. Secular judges who dare, in the exercise of a damnable presumption, to compel priests to pay their debts, are to be restrained by spiritual censures.” [/b][i][Decret. Gregorii, lib. ii. tit. ii. cap. i. ii. vi, and Sexti Decret. lib. ii. tit. ii. cap. ii.][/i]
….as for Father Patrick Ryan’s conclusion that he would, “[i]die a thousand deaths before I would permit that to happen”[/i], we can only presume the Vatican Canon has another law which offers Priests, etc, a way out of facing conviction against the law of the land.
UMH
The man is from the Republic of Ireland, he was saying he would not be tried in a british court or before british law. That is not the law of his land. Can you get your heaqd round that? No need to know the ins and outs of cannon law, just simple common sense.
pfhl, the man was a Roman Priest. He was not concerned about the law of your land or my land his laws were from Rome and he clearly abided by them.
We’ve got to remember that ‘pfhl’ may not be a nationalist
pfhl, the man was a Roman Priest
Are you sure? My understanding is that he was born in Milan.
[i]Are you sure? My understanding is that he was born in Milan.”[/i]
so he’s a milanian Priest? big deal!
Fr Pat Moloney speaks the truth
UMH,
‘Milanian’. Every time I think you cannot possibly surpass yourself, you do it again.
How is he a Roman priest? Is he in charge of the Temple of Jupiter?
pith
Temple of Jupiter. LOL!
I would repeat the part ulsters my homeland posted. the part that laymen are not to judge clergymen. our holy father made these laws.
Listening to Fr Pat Moloney, I am moved to speak in these terms:-
Behold! Satan is Alive!
Fr Pat moloney is in fact a ex-convict
http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-2319454.html
I dont believe you john O,Connell. Father Maloney is a good man of God.
seamus
Is your disbelief about him being an ex-convict or Satan?
he is neither. the devil made him an excon by framing him. Father Maloney is an angel. priests can not be wrong
A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:
Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, “Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.” And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals … Now did the Lord say, “First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.”
seamus
Father Maloney is an angel
That’s what I’m saying too. He’s the angel called Satan.
Jimmy
Well done.
”’It’s typical of the nutcase priest who plays to an audience and uses his position to promote everything but Jesus Christ.

John O’Connell, you have started to piss me off. our lady would not allow you to clasify a priest as a nutcase. god bless your soul. if you think of coming to mass make sure you do penance like you have never done it before. our lady is waiting
seamus
our lady would not allow you to clasify a priest as a nutcase.
That was the milder interpretation of a Pharisee at play during a black mass.
Shock horror! religious people involved in the troubles lol
Willie Mc Crea cough.
Ian Paisley cough.
Ivan copper cough.
yawn.
yawn
Ivan copper cough.
Ivan Cooper, I presume. But not a religious person. But I accept your point.
That’s why they deserve special comment – their evil is all the greater.
Ian Paisley gets special mention on my website as the false prophet of the Book of Revelation.
John, David Icke called….something about you having his pet lizard !
This thread is hilarious,….definitely Father Ted material!
RepublicanStones
Tell him I am a lizard.
G O’F
I’m glad you like our sense of humour.
At one level the two priests especially Fr. Moloney are rather entertaining: entertaining that is until one realises that one is all but admitting helping terrorists and the other is effectively worshipping murder and violence.
Of course there are plenty of equally unpleasant “Protestant” prelates.
What unites both Prod and RC manifestations of this genre (the terrorist supporting clergyman) is the complete ignoring of of the “other side.” Not once did either priest mention the existence of unionists in Northern Ireland: they seem to be non people. The converse of course exists in terrorist supporting prod clergymen, they never acknowledge the existence or right to life of ordinary Roman Catholics.
Turgon
IMHO you’ve just described the root cause of the Troubles and it doesn’t just relate to clergymen.
Moloney is entertaining because he’s obviously not the sharpest tool in the box. Ryan on the other hand comes across as rather creepy. Whatever happened to him anyway?
The likes of these priests are abhorrent. Couch material for analysts. They’re ‘creepy’ as Jimmy Sands says, and very creepy indeed!
I hope the days of when the likes of these half-wits had full reign and say in peoples lives are long gone!
Seamus, I hope you are taking the piss with your comments!
‘Ryan on the other hand comes across as rather creepy. Whatever happened to him anyway?’
He’s in a Supremes tribute act along with Fr Dick Byrne and Fr Cyril Duff.
