Jim Gallagher has been the only journalist bringing this story of corruption to the public’s attention on a consistent basis. He has demonstrated in regular articles the money trail and the corruption at the heart of the HofP.
He has also shown over 6 years ago the complicity of Fr Gerard McGinnity in the fraud perpetrated on ordinary Catholics and especially vulnerable elderly folks who have been the victims of elder abuse. These articles show that the response of the Catholic Church has been very weak. The Archdiocese of Tuam has not moved beyond saying they do not recognise the HofP. They could have moved to having Christina condemned and finally excommunicated for her activities. Also they should have publically condemned Fr Gerard McGinnity for his unwanted forays into the Archdiocese of Tuam. Finally Cardinal Brady should have taken action to do something about this fraud. He has been fully informed of the facts for over ten years. Not only that but he has promised to act and has not.

Mick,
I am really glad you both feel that way, I meant it from the heart. It saddens me more now knowing that he was your only child. I am also, I want to now add, very heartened that, given want you have both been through, you have not lost your faith. It is a testimony of your inner strength, one I can but only admire. Also, on the plus side, your now hard earned discernment, will always stand to you.
On the other matter, if you can quote me, I’ll then explain it. It may have me being sarcastic, but not being understood as being as such.

At the request of Dialogue Ireland I will speak of my relationship with this wonderful couple Betty and Michael Morrissey….I first met them in 2007 and as they lived close to Dungarvan we were able to meet up and discuss our mutual interest that being CG and the HOP…..What they proceeded to tell me caused the hair on my head to stand up with shock at the way these people had been treated…Michael who was in his mid eightys at the time and is now sadly deceased RIP…Betty who was in her mid seventys and is very unwell at present….They told a story of gross deceipt….Betty who is a feisty woman with deep catholic beliefs first of all spoke of how they used to drive to Achill every few weeks and she spoke of how privilged they felt being in the presence of this visionary and who claimed to speak to The Holy Mother of God…Over the years they donated large sums of money to the HOP believing that they were contributing to work of Our Lady as per. the messages given to CG….They regarded Fr McGinnity as a saint and beyond reproach They then described to me how they were summoned to a meeting in a nursing home in the midlands hosted by Fr McGinnity and CGs chief fundraser Majella Meade who I am told has now seen the light and has extricated herself from any dealings with the HOP…They then proceeded to tell me they were told by Fr McGinnity that Our Lady had requested through CG a project that would save millions of souls…As Betty described what happened next….Majella Meade stood over her and demanded that they write a cheque for forty thousand euro to be made payable to Fr McGinnity….The collection made over a million but FrMcGinnity was not satisfied and ordered a further a new round….At this stage Betty and Michael were ordered to write a cheque for fifty thousand to be made payable to a John Rooney who they had never heard of….The final tally that night came to one point eight million…..As Betty and Michael had now contributed over one hundred and fifty thousand which was their life savings….They felt as they were contemplating their mortality that this money was being used to give glory to god and was in the safe hands of Fr McGinnity………So now you can imagine their shock when they learnt of CGs wealth and her massive mansion in Dublin and other properties scattered around the countryside….I can still see the tears in her eyes as she tried to put into words the terrible betrayal she felt at the hands of CG and Fr mcGinnity…What happened next is history…She consulted her solicitors and a writ was delivered to CG and Fr McGinnity at one of their big days at the HOP and ended up in the High Court ….where they were awarded legal costs and full return of their one hundred and fifty thousand….Also on that day another pilgrim whose name is Paddy was awarded a hundred thousand which he had pledged to the HOP ….CG and FrMcGinnity were very anxious to make a settlement as quickly as possible as they knew they would not have a leg to stand on if this went to an open court….The last piece of this saga is when Betty and Michael joined a group of disaffected followers of the HOP and went to meet Cardinal Brady and discuss their issues regarding their ill treatment and betrayal and in particular FrMcGinnity who they thought was above reproach….Betty told me that she told the Cardinal everthing…down to the meeting in the nursing home…the vile predictions perpetrated by CG….and how she and Michael finally saw the light….She never heard from the Cardinal again and is convinced that Cardinal Brady and FrMcGinnity are in cohoots…..This is a sad and sorry story…..When I recently saw Cardinal Brady making pathetic excuses for his role in the Brendan Smyth affair And silencing those children victims of child abuse…..When I listen to the Morrisseys testimony and the heartbreaking experience they endured ……I believe that they were the victims of Elder Abuse and were given little or no hearing by the powers that be right up to the top of the primacy of All Ireland….Betty subsequently appeared on Prime Time on RTE and told her heart breaking story which was so moving that even the inveterate broadcaster Miriam O Callaghan was reduced to tears….And so I will conclude….When I think of this wonderful couple I see that they could be my mother or father living out their twilight years and wanting to do some good and give some glory to God….And then to experience their betrayal shock and sadness ….I can only say to CG and Fr McGinnity may God forgive you for your maltreatment of this wonderful couple….God Bless Mick

In reply to recent comments about my associated connection with the HOP…I would like to firstly state that my name is Mick Power and not Michael McCrory as is implied in recent comments posted on the web…I have never spoken to any journalists and have only recently spoken out on this website to share my own personal experience and as an eye witness to the happenings in the HOP I have spoken already how I and my wife first went to Achill after the tragic death of our only son Tommy aged just five years of age from meningitis…We were very vulnerable and somebody suggested that we visit the HOP…This was 1998 and all we were seeking was comfort and prayers to help us heal from this terrible loss…At first we were impressed and went there on a regular basis but as time passed on I was beginning to suspect that there was something not quite right….The so called messages from Heaven were becoming more and more threatening and instilled fear in people with warnings of impending doom and she even stated at one stage that the only way to be saved was to receive the seal of the living god which could only be gained at the HOP in Achill….Naturally this was a huge money spinner and people started coming from all over the world and the island of Achill never had it so good….Another disturbing factor was the sale of a picture of Our Lady for 250euros which Fr McGinnity told us would be a protection during the great chastisement….As there werepostcard versions of this picture I was told in no uncertain terms that only the 250 euro picture will be acceptable to Our Lady during the great tribulation…also the money making scams…for example the sale of old carpets from the HOP..and the sale of tacky beads grossly overpriced…Indeed I can remember being within earshot one day when CGs daughter was complaining that a new set of green beads were not selling well in the shop and Christina told her that she would use the beads when she was praying with pilgrims and once they saw her with these beads praying the rosary to have no worries…and sure enough the shop was sold out that day….I suppose the final straw for me was the infamous message back in 2005 when Our Lord said if people did not cough up the money to pay for a Hop in Texas that he would destroy this whole state….and what do you know…the money was paid up and Texas was saved…How could people with any level of intelligence believe that this was coming from Our Lord and saviour constantly threatening and berating those who did not support Christina….This was the end for me and my wife….When the news broke in 2007 with the exposure of CGs property portfolio I was not shocked just greatly disturbed at the terrible damage done to so many people who revered her as a saint with no interest in material goods and as she so often said would gladly live in a tent…I wish now to refer to various people I met along the way….Firstly I will address the story of Kathleen o Sullivan who was terminally ill and believed that she was cured thru the intercession of CG….I spoke to her some years ago and she conveyed to me her shock at discovering the enormous wealth of Christina Gallagher She now attributes her recovery to her own deep faith..She told me how Christina phoned her and pleaded with her in tears to return to the HOP and give public witness to her cure…Kathleen who is a very straight talking person asked her straight out where did she accumulate all her wealth….It is worth pointing out at this stage that the HOP blamed what they called the SW as a cheap tabloid and the work of the devil and should be ignored by any god fearing person…Jim Gallagher who finally exposed the HOP for what it is ……He is now the agent of the devil…..Other newspapers at the time ie. Sunday Times …Daily Mail…Sunday Independent…Sunday Tribune…They all investigated and reported on this saga and exposed what I think is fair to say the exploitation of the vulnerable and indeed the most devout and beautiful people of our society …that is our elderly folk who live and practice their faith so well with beauty and simplicity….Again it must be said that it was not the SW alone who exposed this story…There have been numerous TV programmes.ie.Prime time …TV3..etc…Kathleen who was once the most devoted follower of the HOP wishes no more contact with the place and has now got her life back together again and TG hasnt lost her faith…One other person I will speak about is a lady who I first got to know in my early visits to Achill…She was and is a beautiful person deeply prayerful who spent over ten years leading the rosary and prayers in the HOP chapel….She like many others was entranced by Christina and believed her to be the genuine article….She was thrown out by CG overnight for not having revealed to a recent inheritance….This was Christinas policy that all members of the HOP had to tell her of their financial circumstances….When I spoke to her she was very distressed at the way she was treated as she is a single woman with no family….She then began to speak of her own doubts in relation to Christina….She spoke of a time when even Fr McGInnity had some doubts about Christina …She then proceeded to tell me about the famous stigmata and which she herself had witnessed….It was a good friday and Christina was in her bedroom at the HOP and called for Fr.McGinnity who came up from the chapel …Her two feet were bleeding and Fr McGinnity broke down pleading forgiveness for ever doubting her…..However as she revealed to me she found evidence of various instruments which were used to cause bleeding and to resemble the stigmata….She has shared all of this with Cardinal Brady and Archbishop Neary as she was asked by them to meet in total privacy some years ago and she told them everything in lieu of her experience with CG Fr McGinnity and the HOP….Another person who I met along the way was a lady called Peggy and once was Christinas best friend …She is from Belfast and was a great devotee of Fr.McGinnity long before she ever met CG….When I got to meet her I got the impression of somebody fearful and greatly dissilusioned and even questioning her deep held faith….To cut a long story short she became a great devotee of CG and believed her to be a true visionary and servant of God….She then described to me how she was invited to her home in Newport and could not believe all the luxury between jacuzzis walk in wardrobes marble floors etc…….She also told that she was present when a delivery van from Harrods in London delivered a huge four poster bed…..She also recalled seeing Christina in her living room counting up all cash donations and getting such pleasure from it……However the final straw for Peggy was when Christina asked her to go on holiday with her to the UK….Peggy was quite a bit older than CG and when she insisted on going to a night club peggy resisted but eventually gave in…According to Peggy Christina dressed herself in a very sexy leotard and became very flirtacious with any good looking male around….It is then that she spoke of Chawkie who Christina picked up with during this holiday…..She said he looked like an ancient hippi with no religious beliefs but CG was fascinated by him….and entertained him in her bedroom much to Peggys horror and disgust….When she eventually told Fr McGinnity he treated her account of what happened in a very distant manner and said we must all pray for Christina….That needless to say was the end of the road for Peggy and indeed for so many others….It hasnt been easy to write all of this down but if it helps others to see the light then it will be worth it…God Bless Mick

The gift of life. Remarkable that she was carried wrapped in a blanket weighing 5stone into the HoP by her husband in last desperation after she had been sent home to die from Tullamore General Hospital. After prayers with CG and FMcG, she was carried into the chapel by her husband to attend Holy Mass. Then, when leaving the HoP on her journey home, she said she suddenly felt hungry and having not eaten for 2 months, ate a full meal at a hotel!!! Her appetite fully returned and she made a full recovery from pancreatic cancer. Truly amazing!! She has my prayers.

The Storegga Slides occurred 100 km north-west of the Møre coast in the Norwegian Sea, causing a very large tsunami in the North Atlantic Ocean. This collapse involved an estimated 290 km length of coastal shelf, with a total volume of 3,500 km3 of debris.[4] Based on carbon dating of plant material recovered from sediment deposited by the tsunami, the latest incident occurred around ~6225-6170 BC.[5][6] In Scotland, traces of the subsequent tsunami have been recorded, with deposited sediment being discovered in Montrose Basin, the Firth of Forth, up to 80 km inland and 4 metres above current normal tide levels.’

Until the 1990s, it was undisputed that the flooding was caused by a storm surge aggravated by other factors, but recent research indicates a tsunami.[22] The probable cause is postulated as a submarine earthquake off the Irish coast.’
‘1755: Lisbon, Portugal
Main article: 1755 Lisbon earthquake
Tens of thousands of Portuguese people who survived the Great Lisbon Earthquake on November 1, 1755 were killed by a tsunami which followed 40 minutes later. Many townspeople fled to the waterfront, believing the area safe from fires and from falling debris from aftershocks. When at the waterfront, they saw that the sea was rapidly receding, revealing a sea floor littered with lost cargo and forgotten shipwrecks. The tsunami struck with a maximum height of 15 metres (49 ft), and went far inland.
The earthquake, tsunami, and many fires killed from 40,000 to 50,000 people[27] (30,000 to 40,000 is Lisbon alone, which had a population of about 200,000), making it one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Historical records of explorations by Vasco da Gama and other early navigators were lost, and countless buildings were destroyed (including most examples of Portugal’s Manueline architecture). Europeans of the 18th century struggled to understand the disaster within religious and rational belief systems. Philosophers of the Enlightenment, notably Voltaire, wrote about the event. The philosophical concept of the sublime, as described by philosopher Immanuel Kant in the Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime, took inspiration in part from attempts to comprehend the enormity of the Lisbon quake and tsunami.
The tsunami took just over 4 hours to travel over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) to Cornwall in the United Kingdom. An account by Arnold Boscowitz claimed “great loss of life.” It also hit Galway in Ireland, and caused some serious damage to the Spanish Arch section of the city wall.’

The Ansei Quake which hit the south coast of Japan, was actually a set of three earthquakes, two magnitude 8.4 quakes and a 7.4 quake all in three days.
The first on November 4, 1854, near what is today Aichi Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture with tsunami heights of 4–6 m (though with localized run-ups up to 16.5 m, thought to be due to harbor shape).[31]
It was followed by another 8.4 magnitude earthquake the next day in Wakayama Prefecture. The resulting tsunami generated waves as high as 8.4 m.[32] The tsunami washed 15,000 homes away.[citation needed] The number of homes destroyed directly by the earthquake was 2,598; 1,443 people died.[16]
The third was a magnitude 7.4 earthquake on Nov 7, 1854 in Ehime Prefecture and Oita Prefecture.
The total result was 80,000–100,000 deaths.[33]’

On 15 June 1896, at around 19:36 local time, a large undersea earthquake off the Sanriku coast of northeastern Honshu, Japan, triggered tsunami waves which struck the coast about half an hour later. Although the earthquake itself is not thought to have resulted in any fatalities, the waves, which reached a height of 100 feet (30 m), killed approximately 27,000 people.

‘The truth has been upheld by medically documented and scientifically inexplicable healings which are still being reported to date’

There is an ‘abundance’ because, and it is well known, an abundance of desperate and vulnerable people who are that sick, like Brandi DeJesus, will try anything they believe might work eg. vitamin C.

He was caught off guard, unprepared, and hence, how he reacted is the real McG.
The Real McG thought he could pull it off with his lying, because he has become so used to doing it, without getting challenged.
Anyone(true believers) who questions anything, is a ‘traitor’, and ‘against’ CG, and ironically, ‘the truth’. It’s a complete and utter fallacy of course, but that’s just one aspect of the control.
Yet again, anyone who calls into question this status quo is a threat and must be attacked. It’s essential, and mandatory.

By the way, Majella Meade, ‘shocked and appalled’ at the SW attack on CG and FMcG made the following comment on this subject.
“Of the few disaffected people, (whose identities were immediately obvious to me) – and who were given multiple identites in the media – my greatest disappointment was in not being approached by an elderly couple, who, in their free choice gave a generous donation to the project via myself, at the same time as they gave a similar one to their local church. On a number of occasions they volunteered this information to me. They clearly gave me to know that they had financial resources surplus to their own needs for which reason they would frequently share with me such charitable intentions. I had given great support to this couple, and was always available for several years, to assist and advise them i their everyday affairs as and when they chose to contact me – which they frequently did. Yet, they were enticed to lend thier cooperation to fabricated media stories, about being deceived into given donations and being left penniless”. This was a complete contradition to their real circumstances which they had been consisitently sharing with me. Those who made donations all did so freely and not under any duress. I can verify these facts. It makes me wonder how people, who were and are fully aware that only I had dealt with , could present a false media picture, suggesting that they were deceived by Christina Gallagher and Fr McGinnity. One wonders how these individuals can live with their conscience for allowing such deception be published in their name.

The Archdiocese of Tuam has not yet initiated the proper ecclesiastical commission (according to CDF guidelines) comprising of canonists, theologians, doctors, psychologists etc to investigate the supernatural phenomena reported and to interview the visionary, CG and the witnesses.
Archbishop Neary actually suggested that the HoP be closed to the public; that the people would not be able to go there and pray- they would be able to go only to the local church; there would be a named private few permitted in the House of Prayer and Mass permitted on occasion there for them only. This of course was not the stated purpose as requested by Our Lady Queen of Peace, which had been honoured by Archbishop Joseph Cassidy (RIP), when he opened the HoP and himself put in place the celebration of daily Mass and Adoration at the HoP. CG closed the HoP when Our Lady’s request for the House could not be fulfilled. The people however who had put the HoP in place and who wanted to continue to pray there, in response to the request for prayer from Our Lady, pressed her and insisted she open it again. All covered in the website.
The SW has published the stalking activities of Jim Gallagher at CG’s home, stalking activities witnessed by the people. The people have stated that they desire to provide a place of refuge for CG, which is their right, and they have stated the depths stalker Jim gallagher has plunged to destroy their efforts to provide such a refuge. http://www.christinagallagher.org/en/peoples_response_stalker.htm

‘So, people who wanted their donated money back, got it back. Very reasonable.’
No, elderly people having to go legal to get there money back, is not reasonable. It would have been very stressful for them. On top of being told they would be somehow compromising their souls, by not donating in the first place, would have been stressful also.
All that together, in my opinion, is a form of elder abuse.

Archbishop Neary stated that the celebration of the sacraments and the reservation of the Blessed Sacrament at the house of prayer are not permitted.
Archbishop Neary stated that the house of prayer has no Church approval and the work does not enjoy the confidence of the diocesan authorities.
The Sunday World and Jim Gallagher have been found to be truthful and fair by the press ombudsman in their reports relating to Christina Gallagher and the house of prayer. Christina Gallagher has admitted to living in the luxury houses uncovered by the Sunday World even though she denied it at first.

Catholics have the right to believe and have devotion to Our Lady through the mission entrusted to CG. Our Lady requested people come to Her House and pray. This is not ‘play acting being Catholic’, but a perfectly normal Catholic activity – gathering to pray. People are within their right to do this.
So, people who wanted their donated money back, got it back. Very reasonable.

Not true. The reason why the Gardaí have no evidence is because the people who got their money back were gagged by Christine Gallagher/House of Prayer.

NOT SINCE 1998. Fr McGinnity did like what the Archbishop had to say so took it out of Achill. A case of throwing the toys out of the pram. So what do they do there. Play acting being Catholic,and by bringing the faithful to places like Knock en route to give themselves cover. People are so under influence they pass their parishes at 5 in the morning when all they need is right next door. It is the belief they have that unless they go up to Achill they are not on the salvation train.

Regarding your false claim in your title, the visions experienced by CG are deemed by the Archdiocese of Tuam to be “Open and Unproven”. They have not yet had the proper ecclesiastical investigation required by such visions and the faithful of the Catholic Church await and look forward to the commencement of this – as does CG herself no doubt. There are however over 700 testimonies of healing and conversions documented and on view to the public at the HoP which uphold the truth of these experiences. Catholics from all walks of life and of all ages choose, as is their right, to accept, follow and promote the experiences of CG.
The Sunday World (where Jim Gallagher’s ‘stories’ appeared) is not a recognised source of fact but is well known for its publishing of lies, slanderous and pornographic material.
If you have any actual evidence of fraud or elder abuse, why have you not taken this to the authorities? The Guards investigate allegations of fraud and abuse. The answer is – you have no evidence of this slanderous accusation. The reason you have no evidence is because your accusations are all malicious fabrications designed to discredit the mission of Our Lady and Her HoP.
CG has not been condemned but is in good standing within the Catholic church. Nothing has changed since the Archbishop himself confirmed this. Like any other citizen FrMcG has the right to travel the length and breadth of the country as he wishes. Your suggestions are preposterous. These people have rights like any other citizens of this land and you Mike Garde are infringing on their right to their good name by your continued hate-fuelled defamatory attack on them.

Pilate lobbies for Jesus to be spared his eventual fate of execution, and acquiesces only when the crowd refused to relent. He thus seeks to avoid personal responsibility for the death of Jesus. In the Gospel of Matthew, Pilate washes his hands to show that he was not responsible for the execution of Jesus and reluctantly sends him to his death.[7] The Gospel of Mark, depicting Jesus as innocent of plotting against the Roman Empire, portrays Pilate as reluctant to execute Jesus.[7] In the Gospel of Luke, Pilate not only agrees that Jesus did not conspire against Rome, but Herod Antipas, the Tetrarch of Galilee, also finds nothing treasonable in Jesus’ actions.[7] In the Gospel of John, Pilate states “I find no guilt in him [Jesus],” and he asks the Jews if Jesus should be released from custody.[8]

Well once again we are made aware of more cover up which is idginous within the Catholic Hierarchy…I recently watched on RTE Bradys defence of his handling of the Brendan Smyths affair…It was so pathetic and nauseating and showed so little compassion for the victims of this terrible abuse and always passing the buck to his so called superiors who were also trying to brush everything under the carpet….I would go so far as to state that the new saint Pope John 11 was well aware of what was going on and tried to supress this scandal in order to protect mother church…..Indeed his endorsment of the Legionnaires of Christ and their founder who was later found to be a sexual predator says it all…I note in the latest news article by Mr.Gallagher in the Sunday World newspaper that CG has a new right hand man….Mr Jim Lyn who is supposed to be the owner of her mansion in Dublin in expanding in…..This is very interesting as I recall very well that this guy used to plant himself at entrance to the HOP and was always seeking donations at the request of CG and ofcourse Our Lady….I also recall this guy called John Rooney….I had not a clue who he was until one day back around 2005 there was a big commotion when this guy arrived from the US and was given great adulation and special pew in the chapel….When I asked who he was I was told that he was chosen by Our Lady to help CG and Mc Ginnity to expand her HOPs throught the US and I was even told that he was a living saint even though I thought he was a little corpulent to merit that title…..We all know now that he is the guy fronting her wealth in Malahide and when so many vulnerable people made out cheques in his name and were never given any information except from McGinnity who persuaded so many people that this was the desire of Jesus and The Blessed Virgin…..I remember when McGinnity went on the Joe Duffy show and lied through his teeth that she CG needed a place of refuge and due to ill health stayed with friends in this palatial property……When I look at all I have just given witness to I can only sit back in despair and just wonder where is the Catholic Church in this whole scenario……Rooney obviously got out when he finally saw the light and as he is a convicted felon in the US he quickly jumped ship….and we need not expect to hear from him again……And so I now go back to Jim Lynn her latest front man….My memory of him is not very clear except that I remember he came from an area in Co Wicklow and he was and still is obviously a fanatic in the same genre as Pat Coleman and co.The other extraordinary fact which I just learned recently was the departure of Majella Meade from the HOP…she was director of operations at the HOP for many years and one of CGs chief fundraser people….I am told that she finally saw the light and will have nothing to do with the HOP ever again..In conclusion…I believe that Sean Brady and Bishop Neary are afraid of McGinnity and what further scandals he has to tell if provoked…This ofcourse is blackmail and there has been no serious restrictions placed on this man who has lied through his teeth in defence of this charlaton Christina Gallagher….There is much publicity today about child sex abuse but little given to elderly abuse who are often the weak members of our society…..I can only hope and pray that the new Prmate of all Ireland will sit up and listen and study the absolute nonsence perpertrated by CG and Fr McGinnity….How could he possibly sit by and say that it is ok to speak as though from the mouth of God these crazy apocalyptical messages which predict …..The Mark Of The Beast….One World Government….The world taken over by Satan….The Second coming.etc….I rest my case…God Bless..Mick

These prelates have been enablers due to their inaction on this immaculate deception and they bare great responsibility for the financial and mental harm done to the HOP victims and their families .

You obviously know that McGinnity received an apology in 2005 about the Ledwith concerns in Maynooth.
I have often wondered about why Neary has not moved further, but have no information on this. Did Neary study in Rome? Was he a professor when you were in Maynooth? Give us a bit more background. Also I think a private call might be best to develop this further. Can you let me know when you might be available?

Hi Mike,
Totally out of left field…
Do you think that Arch Bishop is afraid of the HofP? I always wondered what the connection between Neary and McGee was. I wonder if the fake visionary has something on Neary and as a result he can’t go too far when dealing with her.
I got the impression from McGee that he was very close with Neary in Rome. He also encouraged me to get close to Neary during my semester in Maynooth and Neary ended up as my confessor.

maybe she should leave it as a retirement home in gratitude for the Cardinal who has remained silent on the issue for so many years .
He could or should have have spoken up for the vulnerable victims of this Marian scam a long time ago rather than remain silently supporting his parish priest Fr McGinnity not much difference than the sound of silence over FR Brendan Smith and his victims.
