  1. Disappointed Educoist:

    You say: “I was under the impression that if someone has a stigmata that it re-occurs.”

    It usually is the case. Gallagher refused to have it tested and, most damning of all, a late follower of hers saw paraphernalia and signs in her room that pointed to self-inflicted wounds. If she had continued to show ‘stigmata’ the pressure would be continuous to prove authenticity and a pretender would not get away with it. She obviously knew that and stopped. It would make anyone question the stories of saints and ask why they were put on pedestals for self harming.

    If what Brady has said is a sign of things to come, is the impression that there is a free for all when it comes to ‘religious’ beliefs that hold people in awe, under influence to believe man made icons of the Catholic church, even when fear tactics are used to ply for money. Nor does it seem that any amount of evidence of foul play and thievery will deter con artists and liars of ‘the faith’ to continue. It is up to past members of the H of P to demonstrate and keep putting the evidence out there.

    It seems the Catholic church want to distance themselves from the bad press of cultic catholic groups and start fresh, a sort of conscious amnesia, yet they are stuck with historical evidence of abuse that cannot go away. When they condemn others they condemn themselves and when they turn a blind eye to others it does not surprise me because that is what they seem to be doing; so different to what the historical Jesus would have done.

  2. Even the Catholic churches in Achill say nothing, and they most of all are losing revenue, money instead being given to HoP. If they aren’t willing to say anything, (to wit: Brady’s response to DI’s letter) then nothing much will happen.

    CG and HoP will end, the whole thing will crumble eventually, just a matter of time. Best thing we can do is ensure our elderly and vulnerable loved ones are informed and kept safe from the numerous and reprehensible con artists out there.

  3. The facts is people are poor after giving to CG/HoP, and CG is rich, as are her kids.

    CG is an obese middle aged con artist who has repeated a very old trick. There’s a fool born every minute.

    And another relevant adage here is, Evil flourishes when good men do nothing. Bitching online does next to nothing while CG and her minions read our words using them to create their next rebuttal/excuse.

    No one is actually doing anything concrete to rid Achill etc of HoP. It’s actually going to be down to the people of Achill to do that and many of them are quite happy at the status quo – namely the money HoP brings in. For them, it’s like having a circus come to town every day of the week. Nice little earner for those bottom feeding off the lies and deceipt.

  4. I was under the impression that if someone has a stigmata that it re-occurs. It is usually suffered by someone who has a very deep spiritual connection to god. If the Stigmata has occurred with Ms Gallagher then it should re-occur and it could be tested to prove its authenticity and it would stop a lot of the controversy surrounding Ms Gallagher. It seems a logical thing to do.

    Another thing that puzzles me about all of this is how much money that is involved. Deeply spiritual people don’t live in multi million euro homes and drive series 7 BMW’s. Deeply spiritual people tend to live a very simple life and use money to support those in need. Am I missing something here?

  5. What puzzles me is why Gallagher’s stigmata was not examined medically at the first opportunity it presented itself. As this was not done there is no way to prove, for definite, that it was a deliberate act on the part of Gallagher to fool people into accepting her spontaneous wounds and healing and her ‘messages’ from Mary, the mother of Jesus.

    Anybody can make a prediction about events to come. Where is the proof of Gallagher’s predictions before the events? How is it not specific until it happens? She talked about the late Pope but declined to say what exactly her dire prediction was about. How does she get away with this?

    It is certainly not a good sign when a house of prayer rakes in money and does not make their financial accounts available to the people who donate. I listened to a video of a woman who spoke about being pressured into donated to the House of Prayer. On a specific occasion she, and others attending a meeting, were coerced into donating very large sums of money by Fr. McGinnity.

    Whether one believes or disbelieves this type of phenomena is a choice. However, when pressure is put by Gallagher to donate and fear tactics used to extract more and more money for protection against dire future events and more money extracted to guarantee a place in heaven, whatever good it has done is seriously undermined. It flies in the face of all decency to influence others into thinking it possible or necessary.

    If she was authentic she would volunteer to undergo tests and psychological evaluation to prove any ability she claims to have.

    What the wider public are witnessing is financial extortion and spiritual abuse towards people who trust/trusted her.

  10. The Sage is a Catholic who has the right as a Catholic in accordance with the Catholic Church’s guidelines on Marian apparitions, to support and attend Our Lady Queen of Peace Houses of Prayer in Ireland, America and Mexico. The Archdiocese of Tuam has yet to initiate a thorough ecclesiastical investigation into the apparitions to Christina Gallagher. As no definitive ecclesiastical judgement has been rendered and the matter remains open and unproven, the House of Prayer cannot have Church disapproval according to the CDF’s guidelines governing Marian apparitions. Catholics who would welcome Our Lady Queen of Peace House of Prayer in Achill designated a Shrine, should petition Archbishop Neary to interview Christina Gallagher and the witnesses and to examine the reported miracles of healing (spiritual and physical) of which there are over 700 to date.

  12. The Sage = Fr G McGinnitty

    Gerard McGinnity is an author and was Parish Priest of Knockbridge, County Louth, Ireland, a parish of the Archdiocese of Armagh.

    Fr. McGinnity has been Christina Gallagher’s spiritual director for many years. He co-authored her biography, entitled Out of the Ecstacy & Onto the Cross – published in 1996, in which he refers to Christina as “God’s prophet”.

    Beginning in March 2008, Cardinal Seán Brady, Primate of All Ireland, began holding discussions with McGinnity about his association with Christina Gallagher. His inquiry into the matter was the result of some complaints from former followers of Christina Gallagher

    Christina Gallagher’s House of Prayer is located in the Tuam Archdiocese, on Achill Island, in Ireland. On 29 February 2008, the Archbishop of Tuam, Michael Neary, issued a statement saying, in part: “In summary the ‘House of Prayer’ has no Church approval and the work does not enjoy the confidence of the diocesan authorities.”

    It seems Fr McGinnitty does not sing from the same hymn sheet as the Archbishop therefore-some might suggest finacial reasons for this parting of the ways, though I wouldnt like to comment

The code of canon law clearly states that clerics are answerable to the Supreme Pontiff and their own ordinary. Have you taken that fact into consideration?

    In other words you have no evidence that, “He is going into another diocese where the Archbishop has expressly forbidden him to do so.” Based on your line of argument, if a Catholic in the Archdiocese of New York wants to travel to the House of Prayer in Achill, does he need Archbishop Neary’s permission to go there? Does Archbishop Neary have the authority to write me a letter expressly forbidding me to visit the House of Prayer? Can he order me to stay in my own diocese? Have you been able to locate any canons in the code of canon law that authorize a Bishop to order Catholics including clerics from other dioceses not to travel to his diocese? Please post as soon as you do, as I don’t want to plan a trip to Achill and then get a letter telling me to stay home. A word search of the Archdiocese of Tuam’s statements on the House of Prayer found no use of disobedient, disobedience, not obedient or lack of obedience anywhere to describe Christina Gallagher. Anyone who does a simple internet search will discover that the Catholic Church’s criteria for automatic excommunication does not apply here and you don’t need a canon lawyer to understand that.

    “WoW..again…Dialogueireland…you had better stop now before you get in too deep…So now YOU have decided that Christina Gallagher is NOT a Catholic.
    No she decided she was not a Catholic by excommunicating herself, by her refusal to accept the legitimate authority of the ordinary. She runs a private Marian sect with a priest who does not get it.
    When did you excommunicate her, and upon what authority?
    I did not decide this she did when she refused to submit to her bishop. She took a decision that has left her outside the ark.
    Also tell me since when are Archbishops empowered to bring regulations into place which contradict the human rights of every citizen of this land…eg to travel unrestricted anywhere, anytime in this land.
    If Fr Holy is a legitimate priest he should accept the authority of the Bishop of the diocese he is going into. The bishop has no power over the H of P as it is not a recognised group within the diocese, it is a private operation. It is not under his authority as it refuses to submit. However, Fr Holy is coming to an unrecognised entity and performing religious rites.”

    Can I spell it out clearer. The fact that the two Archdioceses do not clarify and spell out that any Catholic going to the House of Prayer is aiding in and abetting in Elder Abuse and when the time is come and the evidence comes to light rather than what we currently have which is intelligence they will have to account for their silence. To finally make it clear, the House of Prayer may have genuine Catholics who visit in the misguided view that it is Catholic.
    Nothing could be further from the truth, it is a private commercial money grabbing front with a priest play acting he is pious. He is personally responsible for ruining hundreds of individuals and families.

  26. Ad lapidem (Latin: “to the stone”) is a logical fallacy that consists in dismissing a statement as absurd without giving proof of its absurdity.The form of argument employed by such dismissals is the argumentum ad lapidem, or appeal to the stone’

    Ad lapidem statements are fallacious because they fail to address the merits of the claim in dispute. Ad hominem arguments, which dispute the merits of a claim’s advocate rather than the merits of the claim itself, are fallacious for the same reason.
    The same applies to proof by assertion, where an unproved or disproved claim is asserted as true on no ground other than that of its truth having been asserted.
    The name of this fallacy is attributed to Dr. Samuel Johnson, who refuted Bishop Berkeley’s immaterialist philosophy (that there are no material objects, only minds and ideas in those minds), by kicking a large stone and asserting, “I refute it thus.”
    This action, which fails to prove the existence of the stone outside of the ideas formed by perception, fails to contradict Berkeley’s argument, and has been seen as merely dismissing it.

    It is perfectly normal for Roman Catholics to gather in prayer outside of the Liturgy. Various apostolates dedicated to prayer can be found in every Catholic Diocese in the world. This is because through prayer, Catholics are called to become the ‘love in the Heart of the Church’. Prayer is an opening to God which enables one to receive graces not only for oneself but also for others. Our Lady Queen of Peace Houses of Prayer (Ireland, America and Mexico) embrace St. Paul’s exhortation to “pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess 5:17-18) Through constant prayer, we Roman Catholics receive the grace to become the ‘love in the Heart of the Church.’

  39. Your handler gave you the lines Sage. We do not need to you to rehearse them. Just leave the schismatic and return to the Catholic Church and all can be forgiven. Obviously Catholics can pray anywhere but you were advocating the Eucharist but are in a group that don’t have it. Get it.
    Please go to an independent canon lawyer and then, you will find by your continued involvement with this pyramid Marian scam you have excommunicated yourself by your wilful and persistent support of this fake and by associating yourself with a priest who is totally disobedient and what is worse that his pastor a Cardinal refuses to act. That is truly unconscionable. His persistent refusal to discipline a priest in his care gives you licence to continue in your folly. However, ex opere operato — The grace of God is not dependent on the minister whether a lowly deacon or a Cardinal.

  40. Pretend Messages from a Pretend Prophetess-Is this not just a carbon copy of House of Prayer type scam? They are ten a peny

    Flagrante Delicto

    Debunking the July 2008 Pretended Message

    For well over 15 years now, Gianna Sullivan has filled the minds of her followers with rambling dribblings allegedly given to her by Mary, the Blessed Mother, without public challenge, save the September 2000 rebuke by the Archdiocese of Baltimore. These pretend messages can be found on countless websites, posted by duped followers who consider them holy words above and beyond the the bible.

    As of now, Gianna’s ability to issue her messages unchallenged is over.

    But before we begin, we need to revisit some inconsistencies in a few recent messages.

    In her purported Memorial Day message of May 26th, Mary supposedly warns us that:

    “With the stars aligning and moving in their own orbits, what is to come, sooner then you know, could result in the death of 70% of the earth’s population.”

    Yet, just five days later, Mary has changed her warning to:

    “After a while, you will see a time when there is another body in orbit around your solar system, coming between Earth and the Sun and leading to tremendous devastation. Approximately 60-70% of the world’s population, as you know it, will cease. Of those who survive, 60% of them could die of disease and starvation.”

    What gives? One week Mary is giving us an exact figure of 70% destruction, and the following week another? Did the Apocalyptic statistics branch of heaven run a new computer simulation and come up with an updated death figures? Did Mary get it wrong? Doubtful. Which leaves us only one conclusion, Gianna must have gotten it wrong. And if she got this wrong, what else did she get wrong? We’ll explore all her failed prophecies in a soon to be released series of new articles … In the mean time, let’s get on to wasting your time with the latest ‘Pretend Messages for a Pretend Prophetess.’

    While we hoped we would be able to really sink our teeth into the July message, we were disappointed in the unusual blandness of the message, especially given that the June message was filled with such doom and gloom! What happened? One month we’re supposed to be preparing for the end of times, the next message – nothing. What’s up with that?

    “Public Message Our Lady of Emmitsburg
    To the World through Gianna Sullivan
    (Or she claims)

    July 13, 2008

    Little children, praised be Jesus!

    Dear children, I am a Mother, “full of Grace.” I have extended my hand to you. I have presented my Most Adorable and Merciful Son to you. Yada, Yada, Yada…

    Children, you all possess the same Spirit of Grace that God has gifted you. Why then do you tear one another apart? Why is there not harmony and unity? My Son’s Peace is that of holiness and justice. You do not realize the tears, the penance and the sacrifices made at a price for your existence! There are hidden heroes around the world whose love is their life’s mission. They pray to love; and oftentimes they come between you and God, warding off Divine punishment. They pray for a spiritual transfusion and for conversion of hearts. The reference to the followers tearing each other apart is not new, it can be found in other supposed messages whenever there was severe dissension in the ranks. Hmm…, I wonder what could be causing severe dissension in the ranks this time … maybe a loony prediction about the twin suns making fly-bys and bringing about the end of the world, which every astronomical society in the world calls bunk? Or maybe it’s because their ‘group’ is being equated to a cult and people are taking a hard second look at the group and not liking what they see?

    It was the same during the time of my Son. The Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Scribes did not bear fruit through their repeated sins. They desired to persecute, to conquer, to dominate and to distort the goodness of my Son and the Truth of His Word. Is it not the same today—with “pharisees” living with hardness of heart, desiring to tear down, persecute and dominate? Is there not lust, gluttony, hatred and selfishness? Ok, here’s the real subliminal message in the pretend message: ‘Everyone that is attacking me (Gianna) is evil and filled with hatred.’ We have to admit, this is a great follow-up on the June message where the followers are instructed not to trust the leaders of their country and church. Can you say ‘Siege Mentality?’

    So today, I can tell you that true Charity will be precisely gifted upon those who are scorned, mocked, persecuted and laughed at Little ones, when something is real, you cannot stop God! No judgment from men can impair or influence the Judgment of God. You would only be fighting God. More classic siege mentality stuff. Don’t trust those who have spent their lives studying planetary science, trust me because I’m your leader. I know all! Better yet, if you do trust me, you’ll be rewarded with salvation … hmm, is that the same line used by the leader of the Heaven’s Gate cult just before he told them to all commit suicide?

    I am your Mother, “full of grace”; and my Merciful Son has allowed me to distribute these graces to you. I have a duty as a Mother to warn, to challenge, to protect and to draw all people to God. Please, receive these graces while I am still allowed. What? Is God finally on to you? Is He going to revoke your hallway pass for bilking man by supposedly revealing timelines and events that He alone is supposed to know?

    Seals (Rev. 6:1-17) have been broken one by one, but if all the seals were broken at once, humanity would not be able to survive. More classic siege mentality stuff! It’s important to continue to throw out scares, just to shore up you base in case some of the followers are beginning to catch on that you are loony. The best way to keep them on your side is to claim some secret that you alone know so that they have to stick around if they want to hear it. One follower even goes so far as to say “Gianna has also received the 10 secrets from the Blessed Mother concerning the future.”

    For those who have ears, hear! “We are not leaving.” Neither are we , every time you come out with dribble like this, we’re going to call you on it.

    I love you. I love you (fading whisper—crying). Oh, give us a break!

    (During the apparition but before the audible message from Our Lady through Gianna to the world, Gianna’s eyes and head panned the entire width of the room from her right to her left as Our Lady moved from the center of the room to Her far left, upward and back to the center, and to Her far right, before returning back in front of Gianna. Throughout this entire time, a kaleidoscope of color in the form of rays flowed from Our Lady’s hands onto the entire crowd in the building. Those gathered at the Prayer Group saw on the giant screen monitors the ecstatic joy on Gianna’s face, for NEVER before had Gianna seen such an expression of Our Lady’s love. Our Lady shared with Gianna that she was distributing God’s graces to all.)” What???? What??? Did anyone actually see this other then the pretend Prophetess? Is any of this on video tape? ‘NEVER before had Gianna seen such an expression of Our Lady’ love’ Never???? We’re speechless by the sheer level of bunk here.

    As noted above, this message is filled with classic siege mentality material. So we thought it worth giving our readers a brief overview of what siege mentality is all about.

    So what is Siege Mentality?

    Cults often develop a siege mentality and seek to isolate themselves from influences that might interfere with total adherence to the cult. Cults and fringe sects of religion, such as Young Earth Creationists follow a simple credo – Science is bad, Revealed Knowledge is good. It doesn’t matter what some PhD Scholar is telling you. It doesn’t matter what some amateur skywatcher with her own 8-inch telescope tells you. It doesn’t matter what mathematicians, astronomers, geologists or meteorologists are telling you. All that matters is the cult leader’s revelations.

    Membership in cults may begin with a sudden conversion experience where an individual feels that ultimate truth has been glimpsed. This may lead to zealotry, the conviction that the cult view is the only possible view, which therefore must be promulgated to the beknighted or is too refined to be understood by others. A persecution complex and siege mentality may result: cult members feel that the world is the enemy and that only martyrdom will vindicate their faith.

    The tools with which cult leaders claim “undue influence” over their followers starts with recruiting from a pool of idealistic, but directionless and vulnerable, people; isolate them from old connections; create a siege mentality that pits the group against the world; and finally, foster utter dependence on the leader.

    A kind of siege mentality — us versus THEM — develops. Because cult members see themselves as different from and superior to others, they begin to disassociate themselves both physically and mentally from the community in general. Cult leaders or doctrine warn members to be wary of the ways of the unwashed. Those which are outside the cult or who disagree with its teachings or leaders are seen as part of the conspiracy against the organization. Often, this is phrased as being “of the devil” or as coming from a state of depravity or lack of proper spiritual enlightenment. And, any criticism of the cult from such people is immediately dismissed as coming from the mind of the unenlightened. Disagreement with and criticism of the cult is considered persecution of it. Members are reminded that they are persecuted because they are the “True” followers of God.

    One of the inevitable results of the “us-vs-them” mentality is that cult members cease to socialize with outsiders. Alienation from friends and family result. This means that, ultimately, former friends become part of the conspiracy, tools of the devil and his deception.

    Not surprisingly, this league of conspiracy inevitably comes to include anyone who is not in the ranks of the organization, and who is not under its influence. The cult will often claim that the conspiracy includes the government, the news media, unsupportive friends and family.

    The society cult develops internal mechanisms to cope with the threat by increasing pressure among society members towards conformity, unity and mobilization. This pressure can take various forms, like calls for unity, calls for patching-up or concealment of disagreement within the group, as well as threatening (and carrying out) negative sanctions against those who disagree within the group.

    With this is mind, re-read the June 1st and the latest supposed messages from Mary … and note the siege mentality wording in each. http://ww.emmitsburg.net/cult_watch/pm/july.htm

  42. Given that we are discussing matters of a religious nature, I think it perfectly reasonable for the Gospel quotations to be used.

Your definition of ‘loaded language’ bears no relation to the way The Sage has used the Gospel quotes as your example demonstrates perfectly.

I am merely putting the record straight when you and others, including dialogueireland choose; to misrepresent the truth with an intention of inciting hatred and defaming a person or persons character; and to falsely criticise the work of Our Lady Queen of Peace House of Prayer and the pilgrims who go there to pray in accordance with their Catholic faith.

    Loaded Language

    “Loading the language” is another common theme in a cultic setting. A special jargon that gives the members a feeling of exclusiveness and that they possess some esoteric knowledge. This “loaded language” helps build solidarity amongst an elite group that speak the same cultic verbiage/lingo. It also gives the newcomer yet an extra incentive to become more involved with the group–in order to learn this language and understand what everyone is saying. Loaded Language is characterized by “thought terminating” buzz words and phrases that constrict thinking and typically replace any meaningful and independent critical analysis. This can become overwhelming and dominate the member’s speech and conversation–while also binding the group together through their common language. http://www.rickross.com/reference/ge…eneral431.html

  58. It is perfectly normal for Roman Catholics to gather in prayer outside of the Liturgy. Various apostolates dedicated to prayer can be found in every Catholic Diocese in the world. This is because through prayer, Catholics are called to become the ‘love in the Heart of the Church’. Prayer is an opening to God which enables one to receive graces not only for oneself but also for others. Our Lady Queen of Peace Houses of Prayer (Ireland, America and Mexico) embrace St. Paul’s exhortation to “pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” (1 Thess 5:17-18) Through constant prayer, we Roman Catholics receive the grace to become the ‘love in the Heart of the Church.’

A truth that is powerfully upheld by heaven. The book is ‘Our Lady Touches Ireland and the World’.

In Ireland, they travel from as far afield as Cork, Dublin and Donegal on their pilgrimage to Our Lady Queen of Peace House of Prayer. And not just ireland they travel from many countries.

Because unless this has happened it is mere persecution to give a negative judgment when the facts of the case show no doctrinal errors, an authentic ecstasy, and sound moral character of the seer along with good fruits….According to canon 212, if someone has knowledge that a Bishop’s commission’s actions did not follow properly the norms set down by the church they have the right to make it known to the faithful for the good of the church, so long as it does not impugn church teaching, is not irreverent toward those in authority and it upholds the dignity of persons.”

Celebration of the sacraments and reservation of the Blessed Sacrament at the ‘House of Prayer’ are not permitted. Any work carried on since then has been entirely of a private nature and has no Church approval whatever. Neither, for reasons given above, does such work enjoy the confidence of the Diocesan authorities. Nothing has been brought to my attention to indicate that I should change from this position in the future. ”

    Just because the Church is not prepared to outrightly condemn something, as exemplified by the statement “The question as far as competent ecclesiastical authority is concerned, remains open and unproven” , this does not mean that all of the above viz a viz the Churches position on HoP is either neutral or supportive; The statement is a very clear explicit condemnation of HoP activities, as should be obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence.

    As for ‘private revelations I would just like to say that I have been visited by the Mother of God and she has told me that I am here to save the people of Irleand,(Oh look, the Church does not condemn my views here EXCEPT I AM ACTUALLY LYING) But since the Church refuses to commit to a position on this, I am obviously telling the truth using your logic

    i also have a photograph of the Virgin Mary which PRIVATELY started to cry so I published this PRIVATE revelation on the intenet for all to see (actually, the only ‘private’ aspect of that revelation was the bit in the other room with the pipette and the glycerol-ssssssssssshh)

    If it looks like a con, and it sounds like a con, and it feels like a con, it probably is a con-I dont need to rely on Church law to make my own decisions and I am free to warn others of what I suspect, PARTICULARLY WHEN CHARLATANS PERSIST IN PERPETUATING THE SCAM ACROSS THE INTERNET

    “In cases of private revelation, Pope Benedict, when Cardinal and prefect for the CDF, tells us that until the Church has made a definitive and canonical judgment, the faithful are free to accept Private Revelation with prudent discernment…. And we are free to believe in a private revelation unless the proper examination and its results show just cause for a negative judgment. Because unless this has happened it is mere persecution to give a negative judgment when the facts of the case show no doctrinal errors, an authentic ecstasy, and sound moral character of the seer along with good fruits….According to canon 212, if someone has knowledge that a Bishop’s commission’s actions did not follow properly the norms set down by the church they have the right to make it known to the faithful for the good of the church, so long as it does not impugn church teaching, is not irreverent toward those in authority and it upholds the dignity of persons.”

Mrs. Gallagher and her associates retain, of course, the right to believe and state their belief that such have indeed occurred and continue to occur.

  88. READ THESE EXCERPTS AND TELL ME THIS IS NOT DODGY-ITS FROM THE iRISH TIMES hursday, March 19, 2009

    Complaints had been made to gardaí by a number of people who donated money to the centre, founded by Christina Gallagher, a housewife from Knockmore near Ballina….

    Large sums of money – totalling up to €250,000 – were returned to donors who had second thoughts about their contributions to the House of Prayer when newspapers reported allegations of Mrs Gallagher “amassing great wealth”.

    The House of Prayer was set up by Mrs Gallagher in the old convent on Achill Sound in July 1993, following her claims that she was visited by Our Lady and was given messages from her for the people of Ireland.

    However, a committee of inquiry set up by the Archbishop of Tuam Most Rev Michael Neary, concluded in 1997 that there was no evidence of “supernatural phenomena of whatever kind” there.

    It also found that none of the evidence presented proved beyond reasonable doubt the occurrence of supernatural phenomena there, “other than that of faith”.

    in February of last year, the archdiocese emphatically dissociated itself from the House of Prayer, stating that its activities were “entirely of a private nature” and carried “no ecclesiastical approval whatsoever”. It said efforts to integrate the work of the House of Prayer with the archdiocese had met “with a disappointing lack of success”.

    The archbishop banned Masses there and wrote to all Catholic parishes in Ireland and the US, advising them that activities at the House of Prayer no longer had Church approval.

If you had any evidence you would bring it to the Garda for investigation. You don’t, because you have none and you know well that the Garda have already investigated all the allegations you insinuate by the photos above; and the outcome of the investigation was an announcement which appeared in The Irish Times, verifying that the DPP had decided no proceedings of any kind would be taken against The House of Prayer. The article at the time quoted Supt. Patrick Doyle, Westport, confirming the decision of the DPP in the matter. You cannot get clearer than this.

    So provide your evidence that “Christina is misusing House of Prayer funds” and that there is a “misuse of funds by the House of Prayer”, even though a Garda investigation found nothing in your claims!!! or desist in your slanderous attack, remove all comments made against Christina Gallagher, Fr McGinnity and those connected with the House of Prayer from this website and refrain from any further false statement or innuendo against the same.

    2) The response from the House of Prayer devotee is to post a video about water appearing on a piece of laminate. A video that has nothing whatsoever to do with the original posting and has nothing whatsoever to say about the misuse of funds by the House of Prayer.

    Small note. Posting a video that doesn’t not address any claims made doesn’t make a later assertion that Christina has not enriched herself or her family any less silly. Posting such a denial on a page with photographs of that enrichment is bizarre.

    As I say above, this cycle never ceases to amaze me. Post some facts about the House of Prayer and money, then sit back and wait the inevitable comments from House of Prayer devotees that try using whatever theological construct they can to distract from the facts posted. The disconnect that often occurs between the original posting and the subsequent discussion makes me wonder – are such comments really made for the public or is this simply some self-rationalisation process we are seeing being played out?

    The fourth commandment tells us to ‘honor thy father and thy mother’ and the prayers offered at Our Lady Queen of Peace House of Prayer most assuredly fulfill this commandment.

    Honour thy Father & thy Mother is the fifth Commandment in the majority of Bible translations with the exception of the catholic church who changed and deleted some of the content of the second commandment namely the portion on IDOLATRY and absorbed it into their version of the first shifting each commandment along by one and then splitting the original text of 10th commandment into two to get back to ten.
    The Fifth Commandment is about Respect for Parental authority.
    God instructs us to show love for our parents by honouring them. The Fifth Commandment introduces us to a series of Commandments that define proper relationships with other people. The fifth through to the 10th serve as the standards of conduct in areas of human behaviour that generate the most far reaching consequences on individuals, families, groups and society. Families are the building blocks of societies that build strong nations. When families are fractured and flawed, the sad results are tragic and reflected in newspaper headlines every day. Any individual or group, including whole nations that understand the importance of strong families reap the rewards of an improved relationship and blessings from God. The Fifth Commandment shows us from whom and how the fundamentals of respect and honour are most effectively learned. It guides us to know how to yield to others, how to properly submit to authority and how to accept the influence of mentors. That is why the apostle Paul wrote, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honour your father and mother, which is the first Commandment with promise: that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth” Ephesians 6:2-3.

    ‘It is much easier to believe the phenomenon is of a supernatural origin.’ It was a lot easier to believe in Father Christmas.Difference being, he at least he has some basis in reality

    You seem to have run out of answers Sage, or at least ones that dont incur the ridicule of all. Best quit while your still winning-the taxman cometh!

  126. anon, I have to congratulate you! You have a very fertile imagination. However, I now have to burst your bubble by returning to reality. Your incredulous statements are simply unbelievable! Actually, they give me a big headache. The reader loses his way traveling through the maze of theories you have constructed and it is much easier and more sane to believe the phenomenon is of a supernatural origin.

  127. “The video has over 139,000 views!”

    heres a video of Hitler-its had more than 6.8 million hits. So, going on your theory that, the more hits the more worthy of faith, it would seem that old Adolf is more than 68 times more worthy of faith than Our Lady

  128. Actually, if one examines the video, the photo is brought into the room FROM ANOTHER LOCATION. Therefore all of the stuff about not seeing anyone tampering with the photo and it ‘not raining’ in the room is totally disingenuous, a sidestep,a smokescreen designed to bolster your already very weak position.

    Obviously, the image was tampered with BEFORE filming began and BEFORE being brought into the room.

    if a small child can see through this nonsense then dont you think the rest of us are intelligent enough to see through the scam? As for how many hits the film has had, there are pornographic images that get more hits-does that mean they are more genuine??UTTER RUBBISH,-you are either a con merchant or totally gullible

  130. “There are several people in that video who witness the phenomenon”

    Magicians often have audiences of thousands

    “I viewed the video again but couldn’t find any of them doing what you suggest.”

    You mean they didnt include the people perpetrating the fraud on the video-shock horror!

    As for the rest of your rather simplistic email, think. iti is possible to apply solutions in a solid state tat melt when subjected to slightly higher temperatures-wax is a crude example. All that is necessary is to apply such a compound beforehand and then increase the temperature via touch or increased room temperature for example.

    I find myself aghast at the gullibility you project onto people. Sadly though, i times of desperation, the spiritually desperate are more than willing to believe. Shame on you for your fraudulent and manipulative behaviour and for preying on the weak

  131. Guest, while it is prudent to consider a variety of explanations for weeping images, your hypothesis is ridiculous. There are several people in that video who witness the phenomenon. I viewed the video again but couldn’t find any of them doing what you suggest. An unframed image of Our Lady Queen of Peace is held in the hands of one lady whilst another begins taking photos of the image. The image is then presented to the camera and I see a copious amount of liquid streaming down the face of Our Lady Queen of Peace. No one in the room was pouring liquid or dropping liquid on the image. The image was not mounted in a frame so you can’t say the liquid was oozing from the frame onto the image. It didn’t look like it was raining in the room where they were gathered, they weren’t beside a pool or near the beach nor in a bathtub nor in the shower, although I did see a telephone in one lady’s hand…..

  132. like you said its only an image, either photocopied or printed and laminated, laminated paper is waterproof therefore if you pour or drop any clear liquid on its still going to flow downwards (law of gravity) anyone can see this is a lame attempt to hoodwink and mislead people any normal person knows tears are water based and flow from the eyes like water, this image clearly shows a clear thixotropic solution on the laminate surface slowly flowing down the page the direction being guided by tilting the page at various angles. One might get a similar effect if you spat on a vertical surface. excuse the analogy. As regards 139,000+ views it’s on Youtube, people look at all kinds of similar rubbish all the time.

  136. Thank goodness there is a truthful site about this. I personally was told by the Mother of God to warn people to stay away from this fraud, Christina Gallagher. I myself have been for years victimized by her witchcraft, wicca, and demonic practices that she hides from the public other than her fraudulent displays of demonic pretense, that satan himself assists her, not the MOther of God nor Christ. How offensive this is mockery by Christina Gallagher is to Christ, to the Mother of God! that anyone would mock His Wounds, the Mother of God! pretending these illusions of stigmata! never are these ever visible in the last many years! Never a valid Church investigation into her supposed wounds! that are not valid, they were faked for money and attention and idolatry of her that she wanted for satan, for herself, her demons invoked by witchcraft that she practices to appear like someone of importance to steal from souls, to steal from Christ, to steal from and mock Christ and the Mother of God!

    Asking for money and false claims that they are to ask for and take money for any purpose.

    I never followed her, her demons attacked me to attempt to take my own property and to claim anything I do spiritually as if Christina Gallagher is the source or involved! as she claims or attempts to appear as a false god!

    The Mother of God warned me to warn souls, that Christina Gallagher is satanic, her seal satanic. Nothing of Scripture is of anything of Christina Gallagher other than warnings of false prophets for the end times, the house of prayer becoming a den of thieves, and her witchcraft and consulting demons the source of her supposed experiences. She is a fraud.

    Christ and the Mother of God warned me, Christina Gallagher is to be removed soon from the face of the earth for attacking Them, attacking Christ’s wounds by her fraud, attacking the Mother of God, for her own profit, her own advancement of idolatry of herself, and wanting others to idolize her, it is false worship, a sin against the commandments, as well as her envy of others’ property and causing events in their lives by demons to take or acquire money or their property. I see this for fact every day, every day, and can testify in a Catholic court trial against her for witchcraft if the Church would allow me to bring such a case against her. There is nothing of this established in Ireland of I would, and anyone that has had deaths in their families in any way relating to any contact of Christina Gallagher, after any, should immediately contact the Archbishop whom I contacted last year asking for his removal of any ability to allow her or the priest she demonically oppresses to cause control to acquire money and false validity to her fraud. It is truly a very demonic fraud, that Christ and the Mother of God warned me to warn others, avoid Christina Gallagher. She is a fraud.

    The claims for a bomb shelter: a Hiroshima eight Jesuit priests were spared because they prayed the rosary every day and lived the Fatima message. No one is to do other than pray the rosary and turn to the Mother of God, not giving anyone money for any apparitions, any prophecy, any claims of any supposed messages to donate money as if the MOther of God would ever ever say that, the Epitome of humility, poverty, charity.

    Christ and the Mother of God warned she is to be removed from the face of the earth soon, for her attacks to Christ, to the Mother of God, and attacking His Wounds and Sufferings, the Mother of God’s for profit for herself by demonic fabrications, attempting to cause and causing the deaths of others for their property, attacking any that stand against her, her attacking Christ and the Mother of God.

    Her source of her false apparitions, falsities, is satan, her consultation of demons, her consultation of the oldest druidic practices and witchcraft that continues to affect and attack anyone visiting the House of hell she runs, anyone ever visiting there, eating there, the food tainted with her evil means of witchcraft that can cause attacks to others for many years after, without prayer, fasting and without the sacraments. Anyone must turn to Christ, the MOther of God, at the Catholic Church, the sacraments, the Mass, confession, and avoid Christina Gallagher at any time.

    The house of hell that she runs, the rest of them of the US, not one of these of any connection to Jesus Christ or to the Mother of God. Nothing of Christina Gallagher is connected to Jesus Christ or the MOther of God. Avoid her at all times.

    Speaking of time: Four years I have endured attacks by Christina Gallagher, almost five years, and never a devotee or follower at any time at all, ever. Her demons attacked me to attempt to undermine my own spirituality and messages from the Mother of God and Christ that began long before anything of Christina Gallagher’s frauds and attacks to me.

    The Mother of God warns, Christina Gallagher is a fraud. Everyone must avoid her, she is practicing witchcraft and black arts to coerce people guised spiritually for obtaining by envy and greed towards anyone their money, their property, any of their goods, especially trying to claim their souls and families for satan. Not Christ, not the Mother of God. Avoid her at all costs. Anyone ever visiting there or eating at that location must avoid her at all costs, end any contact, and end any support rebuking her, her demons that she sends to attack and take people’s money by demonic attacks coercion of demonic kind, and telling Christ and the Mother of God every day they rebuke satan, Christina Gallagher, any demons she sends to attack them at any time. She is a fraud, she is very very sick, and herself possessed. The food is a means of attack by witchcraft, the false medals, false apparitions, the scam of pictures and books and the store she runs to promote herself for idolatry.

    She is not Catholic. She never attends Mass. Never appears anywhere of any humility or any poverty of real virtue. It is a show, attention, for money, for idolatry. It is very very wrong, very against the Way of Jesus Christ, against the Way of the Mother of God’s Imitation of and Love of Her Son.

    Avoid Christina Gallagher, get rid of any prayers, she has tainted them by witchcraft, especially the supposed consecration prayer, that she has connected to a satanic blood ritual or witchcraft to attack souls. Throw away any medals into the ocean. Do not burn any books in any area that can infest or cause attacks to your own home, burn them and take the ashes and dumpt them into the ocean. Avoid Christina Gallagher, pray to the real Jesus Christ, the real Mother of God to be told the Truth, tell anyone that you can about the Truth, and avoid her attempts to cause witchcraft to yourself or your family members for the money, property and idolatry she wants of anyone at any time.

    Be warned by the Mother of God Herself :seek only Christ found in the Catholic Church sacraments, Mass, confession, avoid priests who have any contact or support Christina Gallagher, they are tainted by witchcraft, demons, themselves, and cannot be trusted. Visit a Catholic Church tabernacle for Christ’s Real Presence, the Mother of God’s REal Presence, not the fraud of Christina Gallagher.

    The Mother of God and Jesus Christ Himself warns me to warn souls, telling me this over the last four years: tell souls to avoid Christina Gallagher, Christina Gallagher is a fraud. Jesus Christ and the Mother of God have said Christina Gallagher consults satan, demons, not speaking of anything of Christ or the Mother of God.

    Christina Gallagher is not connected to Jesus Christ nor the Mother of God. Christina GAllagher is of satan, of witchcraft, black arts, wicca, and very grave fraud. Avoid her, anywhere, at any time.

    This warning is given directly at the request of the Mother of God, of my own personal experiences of attacks by Christina Gallagher, her house of hell, and witchcraft, her perverse demons, wicca, black arts, druidism.

    Avoid Christina Gallagher, her. NO one is to ever believe anyone that says they are told to ask money from anyone due to a revelation of the Mother of God. Even at Fatima, when money was donated, they asked the MOther of God what to do with the money, not asking for the money first or ever asking for any money at any time of the duration of any of the apparitions that the Validly appearing Mother of God gave at Fatima.

    Avoid any false apparitions, false mystics, false stigmatists, any asking for money. These are not of Christ, nor of the Mother of God.

    The Mother of God is not appearing to Christina Gallagher. Christ is not appearing. Nor are They speaking to her. Demons are consulted for Christina Gallagher’s supposed future events, Christina Gallagher’s false apparitions, false wounds, of demonic and witchcraft practices.

    She is a cult, she is wicca, witchcraft, a fraud.

    This warning is directly from Jesus Christ and the Mother of God.

    Stay away from Christina Gallagher.
