The Catholic Church has begun a cause for canonisation of the former Irish Jesuit priest Father William Doyle

In a homily at the Cathedral of Christ the King in Mullingar this evening, Bishop of Meath Tom Deenihan described Fr Doyle's"cult or following" as"strong and widespread".

Born in Dalkey, Co Dublin, in 1873, Willie Doyle entered the Jesuit novitiate in Tullabeg, Rahan, in the Diocese of Meath at the age of 18.Despite having the rank of Captain, he"lived and suffered alongside his men", experiencing all of the dangers and trials of life in the trenches. In his homily this evening, Bishop Deenihan relayed a story contained in Alfred O'Rahilly’s biography of Father Doyle, written almost a 100 years ago.

Fr Willie Doyle's father, who was in the house at the time, said that it was his son who lost his life as an Army Chaplain.

More Catholic Church tripe, its 2022, not 1955, NOBODY cares about this nonsense

Superstition

It's as believable as Santa promoting another Elf, except Santa is real.

Watch the bigot’s come out in force in the comments.

Why did you refer to his followers as a cult in your article

Hopefully he exposes the abuses by Narcissistic families. Including the VILE women b’s who whore themselves & their roles to help regulatory bodies support rapists.Let him teach each of the said woman b’s that she can be raped.Thanks to him for putting these b’s in their place.

Is this WhispersNewsLTD

They say its canon and then Boba Fett turns out not to be dead. I'd prefer if they wouldn't mess with original storylines canon StarWars

Can they do something for the 796 babies they found in a septic tank in Tuam? Those babies the church sold, abused, and murdered?

Did a few magic tricks did he?🙄

Incredible coincidence: I read this having just left Liam Clancy's Wikipedia page where I learned that his mother named him after a Willie Doyle whom I'd never heard of previously.

How many kids did he f*ck?

What miracles did he perform?

Concern in Government over scope of any inquiry into schools abuseExpert who previously investigated church child-protection standards backs call for inquiry I can't see it happening, an inquiry would have 2 include literally 100's of schools, both run by religious orders & schools with no religious order involvement. GOV won't want the floodgates opened. Blackrock College is NOT the only school with a shameful legacy. Waste of money, what the government can do is remove the money it pays the schools teacher if they do not remove the religious group from the school. An Inquiry into any physical or sexual abuse to cover all school's .I would think there is not a person over 60 who did not get beat up or felt up while going to school and I am not talking of just relgious schools either...FFS this country is obsessed with compo culture
