Casey, his nephew Donovan, shared a deviance, abuse of innocent children, the former abuse of a vulnerable woman who had his child, he was 22 years her senior. Casey glibly went to London and engaged in sex contrary to a rule of the Church he evidently paid no heed to. To me last night’s RTE programme portrayed a psychopath, an abuser of his niece and other vulnerable children, and the enablers, the Church, the Vatican and so many more. No reference was made to his missionary work in South America, were there children abused or was his sex addiction provided for at whose expense? Since 1994 when a most Courageous nun, Medical Missionaries of Mary, exposed what was happening to nuns on the missions at the behest of priests. We know but we are shamefully in denial. The clergy surely know what is said in the bible about the abuse of children…basically nothing can be done with sexual abusers so throw them in the water. Worth checking the details on this. Too many abusers around. Dictionary of Biography thankfully have acknowledged the tenacity, truth seeking mission of Sr Maura O’Donohue. Remove Casey’s body from its resting place within the Cathedral and bury him in a simple grave. Humility would be served by doing this.
