an open letter to garry o'sullivan editor of The Irish Catholic newspaper

Dear Garry O'Sullivan Editor Of The Irish Catholic Newspaper.
It has come to my attention that you are editor of a newspaper styling itself The Irish Catholic.
By what right do you use this title for your newspaper?
Have you been given a dispensation from heaven to describe yourselves as The Irish Catholic?
I want you to understand Garry O'Sullivan of The Irish Catholic newspaper, that I do not consider you a Catholic, nor do I consider your newspaper is Catholic, and nor do I accept you have the right to use the title The Irish Catholic for the commercial trading entity you currently edit which is known as The Irish Catholic.
Just so's you know.
I'd hate to think you were doing all this without realising I opposed it.
Garry O'Sullivan you asserted in your editorial this week that The Irish Catholic newspaper would have been driven out of business if it had attempted to expose sex abuse cases within the Catholic church twenty years ago.
More precisely you stated:
"If that had happened I firmly believe there would be no Irish Catholic newspaper today. It just would not have been tolerated. It would have been seen as disloyal, beating a liberal secular drum."
Ah yes.
Us evil self styled Catholics would have been determined to hide the truth eh?
Remind me again.
How many newspapers have we driven out of business during the past twenty years of blatent anti Catholic media manipulation of sex abuse cases?
How many of em have we shut down exactly for their egregious and foul and mendacious attempts to destroy the Catholic Church by continually recycling the same sex abuse cases involving the same priests and ignoring the huge majority of cases which have taken place and are currently taking place in family homes at the hands of people who have no association with religious belief whatsoever?
Congratulations on your appointment as a Supreme Court Judge Garry O'Sullivan.
Presumably your appointment has come through.
Or else you wouldn't be in a position to find a whole generation of Christians guilty of a crime you just made up.
"If The Irish Catholic had exposed sex abuse..."
Really Garry O'Sullivan?
If!
Your newspaper exposed nothing, did it?
Because then as now it was a heap of crap.
But it's us vile peasants who are to blame because who knows what we'd have done if your newspaper had actually been doing its job!
Sound analysis there Garry O'Sullivan.
I don't think.
You just feel sure all us vile repressed peasants would have tried to shut down your whole enlightened saintly operation.
An instinct eh?
If, indeed!
The Irish Catholic never exposed anything.
And it never will.
It is the ultimate conformist rag usurping a name and title that does not belong to it.
I wonder will God recognise your copywright of the title The Irish Catholic.
You invidious commercialised little shits.
When The Irish Catholic as a trading entity perceived the country was generally culturally Catholic, it purveyed a most fervourless anodyne Catholicism for Catholic consumption which even today leaves a sour taste with those of us who remember it because its keynote was insincerity.
Now that your board of management thinks Independent Newspapers style liberalism is the order of the day, we are treated to you Garry O'Sullivan posing as a Catholic, clothing your liberal tosh with pseudo Catholic verbiage, and editing a publication which calls itself The Irish Catholic but which most of us regard as just another liberal atheistic propaganda hand out leaflet.
Your board of management has missed the boat by the way.
Even with State Sector and Health Board advertising Independent Newspapers has managed to run up debts of one thousand five hundred million quid.
Abysml scruff.
What do you think Garry O'Sullivan?
Independent Newspapers, The Irish Times and RTE all going down the toilet because us evil Catholics won't support them?
How evil of us.
I mean what right have we not to buy or finance newspapers and television stations we don't like.
How dare we.
To dare to actually have our own opinions and to act on them.
It's unthinkable.
How utterly autonomous, dignified, blessed with souls we are by the one true God.
It must be very frustrating for an enlightened fellow like yourself Garry O'Sullivan.
What do you think Garry O'Sullivan?
You that's so close to the Almighty that you can, at a stroke, condemn his followers to small minded hell.
What do you think?
Is Jesus coming back soon?
Or is that just stuff that evil Catholics make up to scare the children at night?
Give em condoms and let em off, eh Garry O'Sullivan?
The alternative is evil repressed Catholicism.
And we don't want that?
Do we?
Well you don't.
Let's be quite clear.
What you have written in your editorial is utterly false.
Every single newspaper in the Republic of Ireland has been beating a disloyal anti Catholic secular drum for the past forty years, never mind twenty.
In all that time, evil Catholics have driven a grand total of nought newspapers out of business.
Your premise is mendacious.
Those newspapers are actually finally going out of business through their own incompetence.
They forgot who their audience was.
They committed the same crime as newspapers everywhere.
They thought advertising was enough to make them viable.
They actually thought they didn't need any readers.
The Evening Herald, The Irish Independent, The Sunday Independent, The Sunday World, The Irish Times and The Daily Star have all blatently and consistently beaten the anti Catholic drum.
The real tragedy is not that Catholics tried to drive them out of business.
The real tragedy is that Catholics were required to finance them through government State Sector and Health Board advertising, even when many of us considered financing such entities to be entirely opprobrious, and when many of us were exercising our right as freely autonomous individuals not to buy the aforementioned anti Catholic crap sheets.
Freely autonomous individuals Garry O'Sullivan.
Entitled to buy newspapers if we want to buy them, or not to buy them if we don't want to buy them, as the case may be.
Entitled Garry O'Sullivan to make our own newspaper purchasing choices without a fake Catholic like yourself from a fake Catholic newspaper, standing in judgement on us and telling us how parochial and small minded and just plain evil we are.
Yes, many of us consider that The Irish Times, Indpendent Newspapers, RTE, et al, have no real concern about sex abuse.
If they cared about the victims why not make clear where most victims arise?
Why permit Ian O'Doherty to write in The Irish Independent that the Catholic church is a paedophile ring?
Why permit Daily Star editor Ger Colleran to falsely, malignly and mendaciously claim on RTE that children had been screaming for help in every Catholic church presbytery in Ireland?
Is there to be no compensation for religous people and churchmen who have been grotesquely libelled by O'Doherty and Colleran's utterly false and utterly cowardly lies as disseminated by Independent Newspapers and RTE?
A Public Relations consultant called Monica Leech got 300,000 quid in compensation from RTE after an anonymous caller suggested live on RTE radio that she had been giving blow jobs to a government minister in return for government contracts.
Monica Leech has just been granted 1.87 million in court against Independent Newspapers for their reportage of the events surrounding the same government contracts.
The Daily Mail paid her a paltry 100,000 for their attempts to describe the situation.
All this for Monica Leech.
And O'Doherty and Colleran via Independent Newspapers and RTE are to be permitted to calumniate and trahaise the faith of our fathers with impunity?
But I digress.
Catholics know that our media have been focussing on the tiny minority of sex abuse cases involving priests and ignoring the vast preponderance of cases which occur in the home or at the hands of passing pyschotics.
We know it well.
We know what's going on.
But through State Sector and Health Board advertising we were all compelled to finance Independent Newspapers, the Irish Times and the broadcaster RTE regardless of whether we approved of their manipulative atheistic anti Catholic agendas or not.
Joe Stalin would have been proud.
I gotta tell you Garry O'Sullivan.
This is an age of massive sexual dysfunction.
The only effect cultural Catholicism has had on this vile evil, has been to limit its effects.
In non Catholic countries, or countries where the faith has been marginalised more completely, the effects of psychosexualised, murderous, satanic sex abuse are everywhere more virulent and observably more prevalent.
Your assertion Garry O'Sullivan that any Christian would boycott a newspaper for telling the truth about sex abuse offends me deeply.
We have never had any fear of the truth.
And since the truth is that the media in Ireland has been using sex abuse cases to fulminate an atheistic pogrom against the ancient religion, why then, let that truth be told too.
And since the truth is that the media in Ireland, including your self styled Irish Catholic newspaper, have actually created the most violent atheistic society Ireland has ever seen, why then let that truth be told also.
And since the truth is that the media in Ireland have actually wilfully, knowingly and invidiously sought to destroy the church, and in the attempt have fostered the must unprecedented levels of child rape, child murder and child sacrifice to satan ever seen in this country, since this is all indupitably true, and since the media are hugely responsible for it and complicit in it, why then, let this truth be told as well.
Nay.
Let it be proclaimed from the rooftops.
Let truth be told and let heaven rain.
Here is the news.
The Irish Catholic newspaper is not Catholic.
The Irish Catholic newspaper is owned by another trading entity known as The Farmers Journal.
The Irish Catholic newspaper is a business.
I resent the fact that my seventy year old Aunty Teresa sells The Irish Catholic at the back of Kilcullen Church thinking she's supporting the ancient religion and faith of our fathers, when in fact she's supporting the balance sheet of The Farmers Journal and ensuring that you clypes have enough petrol to put in your BMWs.
Imagine my aunt and thousands of volunteers like her working for nothing to bring in money for the board of management of the Farmers Journal.
It's a fact.
She does.
I resent this seemingly inconsequential fact most of all, Garry O'Sullivan.
It seems to me to be a manipulation of an old lady by cynical skanks with no real commitment or belief in anything beyond the great god of cash flow.
I want you to put a stop to it Garry O'Sullivan.
Thank you for your time.
James Healy

Nice is good Ade.
I've been reading the letter of Saint Jude.
He advises us to remember how the warrior angel Michael did not descend to invective even when rebuking Satan.
Mighty sobering letter from Saint Jude as far as I'm concerned!
I think you're on the right track.
