Bishop Casey’s sexual escapades “profoundly upset the Church”, his funeral Mass was told on Thursday.
It’s just a pity the organisation to which he belonged was less upset by decades of clerical sex abuse and the horrors of the mother and baby homes and Magdalene Laundries.
Rampant sex abuse had been covered up since the foundation of the State but a bonking bishop who fathered a son was a step too far for the Church.
Whereas the paedophile priests could be moved on to another parish Eamon Casey had to be sent to the ends of the earth and he ended up in darkest
Ecuador via the US and Mexico.
What would the unfortunates in the mother and baby home up the road in Tuam have made of the news that a Prince of the Church no less had got a young woman pregnant in the Bishop’s palace.
