billyjustin, the perversion is also the way priests live. Celibacy is not natural and is unhealthy. Despite the way the church acts, as though priests have always lived like this, it is only a recent phenomenon, priests used to have the option of marrying, as they do in eastern orthodox catholocism.

I love how stories like this reveal the true nature of so many "Christians." Packs of wild dogs are less threatening and a hundred times more honest.

EamonnDublin,
Bravo! It takes a lot of mental energy and resistance to not believe in God. Yet once the concept is blocked from the intellect, the enemy turns the mind to hate any idea of God. It is not that men are not too bright, it is more that the enemy is too crafty for them.

Hey there "Ballylanger"! I trust you are feeling good! Would you like me to introduce you to a list of people who believe in God, who are very far removed from the "not too bright" you suggest they are? Relative to the ones I have in mind, I consider your own intelligence would be at about the Tyrannosaurus Rex level - although even that is probably a bit too ambitious for you. Have a great day. One of us is in for a bit of a shock when we die! Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland..

Fr. Kelly is a compulsive liar and always acts innocent in whatever he does. He lies so pervasively that he often forgets what he lied about. He is a backstabber and is guilty as charged. Don’t believe this man for he has never served God, but rather he has always served himself. No innocent man runs from his verdict only a guilty man. He is scared beyond belief and does not want to be exposed any further, that is why his anxiety is so high. He has no concerned for his victims. I hope he reads these comments and makes his first act of courage in his life and come back to face justice.

Hi rory, you are probably one of the sort that say, ptsd or post traumatic stress disorder is all in the head and those who claim to have it are out to get compensation, your young soldiers coming back from combat zones are not pretending to having ptsd they are really traumatized and should be taken care of, just like the survivors from sexual abuse cases perpetrated by the ( few clergy ) who run when they are found..

to irelandnorth,just for your info, the archbishop of ireland who knew the priests and brothers who were abusing young children, was responsible for moving them from parish to paris, once a complaint came up that pervert was moved to another location, these facts were proven in the murphy and ryan report, and then to prevent investigation, that same archbishop was moved to northern ireland to avoid been questioned by the irish authorities,his post in the north was sanctioned by the vatican, so yes they are still around

Nothing says not guilty like skipping town to avoid your trial...

How can a civil jury determine guilt or innoncence in a criminal offence. Is he fleeing the charge, or concerns about impartiality. If the former, he needs to be disabused of his perception of Ireland as some sort of safe haven. If the latter, they need to overhaul the system over there. No one is above the law, even if they consider their law superior. Bythebay! I suspect your logic is to justify the plantation of Ulster. billyjustin! What other paedophiles? And where? If you know who and where they are, bring them to justice, rather than engaging in unfounded hypotheses. misneac! Maybe someone in IC has an axe to grind through personal experience, which wouuld only question the objectivity rather than justification. The HRC&AC appears to be reaping a karmic harvest for past misdeeds. Trouble is, there may be an inverted inquisition being conducted by a new Church of Political Correctness.

The 'elephant in the room': People who 'believe' in god are not too bright. Should such stupid people be allowed to produce, on an industrial scale, victims for the entertainment of those who are, basically, perpetrating a scam?

You must devote a lot of time to find a child sex abuse story for every issue of Irish Central . I accept of course that it is all part of the agenda !
Question in your opinion what percent of sexual abuse of minors worldwide has been perpetrated by Catholic priests ?

If he is, as he says, innocent of any wrongdoing, and we all know how lawyers can manipulate the truth, his running away does not look good. I would implore him to return and face our judicial system, which for the most part is usually just. If he's guilty, no punishment on earth will compare to meeting his maker on judgment day.
