The scandal of it all!!!!!I always remember growing up and Trocaire and Lent with Bishop Casey. My Mum used to say that he never cut back during Lent, look at the size of him! I think the scales of Irish people’s eyes fell away after his affair came to light in 1992. I remember I bought the book, and gave it to my Mum. I think it was the only book she read in her life. She would go up to the bedroom to read a chapter, come down and say how disgusting it was. Then she’d say - right I’m off to read the next chapter, don’t disturb me! Funny!!
It was a huge scandal in Ireland at the time. It changed Ireland I think. Him and Father Michael Cleary.The scandal of it all!!!!!

She had sex and a baby with a man... outrageousI remember it well. Poor old Annie Murphy. Scarlet woman
I agree with all you say. I think it is all about money and inheritance. There is a famous photo on the Internet of Bishop Casey and Fr Cleary either side of the Pope in his popemobile when he visited Ireland in 1979, two of the biggest hypocrites!That's hilariousI have a photo taken with Bishop Casey when I was very young, we come across it now and then and hubby says Eamonn was fine til he met me
In his defence a celebate life is a lonely one (the Vatican afraid the women and children would take their money) but the financial inaccuracies were dodgy- like Fr Ted - the money was "resting in his account"
Twas all her fault. She led him to do all that tomfoolery.She had sex and a baby with a man... outrageous
