when the great and good depart

Nuala Fennell is dead.
Irish newspapers are full of adulatory epithets about what a great woman she was.
I will not add to their hypocrisy.
Here is the news.
Nuala Fennell was an Irish atheist feminist politician who throughout her life championed abortion culture, condom culture, contraceptive pill culture, and all the other Godless appurtenances of the permissive society.
All her life she despised the Catholic church.
I will instance the following.
It has not been mentioned in any of the slavish fiction pieces currently being passed off in the national media as tributes to Nuala Fennell.
Back in the 1980's a young teenage girl called Ann Lovett died in the open air while giving birth.
Ann Lovett had become pregnant, kept her pregnancy secret, and apparently attempted to give birth alone.
At the time the Irish broadcaster RTE, along with Independent Newspapers and The Irish Times attempted to hijack Ann Lovett's death as an indictment of Catholicism.
Nuala Fennell was to the fore in this attempt.
The malignancy of Nuala Fennell's attempt to hijack Ann Lovett's death as part of a feminist propaganda campaign against the Catholic church was as blatent as it was obscene.
The airwaves hummed with falsehoods.
People like Nuala Fennell who had never known Ann Lovett used her to justify their own bereft abortionist contraceptivist ideology.
Amid all the sneering lies falsely blaming the Catholic church for Ann Lovett's death, only one momentary ray of truth broke through.
A teenage friend of Ann Lovett's was asked on RTE radio what she thought of Nuala Fennell.
RTE was sure the teenage friend of Ann Lovett's would give her approval for Nuala Fennell's attempts to manipulate Ann Lovett's death for anti Catholic propaganda.
But Ann Lovett's teenage friend was made of sterner stuff.
Nobody was expecting what came next.
"Nuala Fennell is a silly bitch," she answered.
Her words were broadcast nationwide on the morning news programme.
In subsequent broadcasts RTE edited out the comment.
To this day it is the only true utterance about Nuala Fennell that has ever been broadcast in the Republic of Ireland.
Yes Nuala Fennell is dead.
Like all Dublin atheists of a particularly plush bottomed social millieu, she has sought the rites of the Catholic church for her funeral.
The funeral will take place on Friday in Dalkey's Church of the Plush Bottomed Atheists.
I wonder will any of the officiating priest have the courage to mention Nuala Fennell's life long detestation of the Catholic church.
I wonder will any of the officiating priests have the courage to mention Ann Lovett.
I wonder will any of the officiating priests have the courage to mention Ann Lovett's brave insightful honorable friend.
For me that friend has created the only true epitaph for Nuala Fennell and her miserable misspent atheist abortionist contraceptivist life.
I say it again.
Nuala Fennell was a silly bitch.

Dear James Healy
Only just last week I came across your reference to my late wife Nuala Fennell in your "Heelers Diaries" reference to Nuala's death dated 13th August 2009.
You are entitled to your opinions but you should base them on the truth.
You describe Nuala as an atheist, in this you were wrong, as in other matters.
She was a devout Catholic, a weekly communicant.
Yes she advocated the liberalisation of availability of contraception,
Yes she favoured the introduction of divorce,
Yes she campaigned for equality for women.
Yes she was instrumental in setting up the first refuge in Ireland for Women and children who were subject to violence in the home.
NO she never campaigned for or in any way worked for or advocated the introduction of abortion ,never ever.
I was married to Nuala for over 50 years ,she was a very sincere and honest woman who was not in any way anti Catholic ,the "Fathers" of the Irish Church have done it more damage than anybody else could have done by their arrogance and cover ups over the years.
I wish you well.
Brian Fennell

On the other side of the world, Eunice Kennedy Shriver passed away Tuesday, August 11. Hers was a remarkable pro-life legacy, including the Special Olympics and Called Community for Caring (nutrition, parenting skills, etc. for pregnant teens). She was named a Remarkable Pro-Life Woman in 1998 by The American Feminist, the magazine of Feminists for Life.

Maybe a bit harsh, James:

MJ. You're still teaching me.

Mariseo. Not harsh at all. The truth still has some currency. And the Irish Examiner wouldn't recognise one person making a difference if that person came up behind them and bit them on the arse. Something I have no intention of doing.
