There was a very interesting judgement yesterday in the Supreme Court that coaxed the law on Vicarious Liability along its merry way. This law one of the learned judges said “was on the move” and has been tested on a few occasions recently and on one most important occasion during […]
The Catholic Church
Venerable Vinnie Always Gets It Wrong.
Over the weekend a very great friend of mine e-mailed me from France to say how offended he was that our great and beloved scouser and leader of all things Catholic in England and Wales, Vincent Gerard Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, had taken it on himself without consultation with his […]
Duggan’s Denouement.
What a happy day this is, our lawyers who have been beavering away under this legal cloak of omerta have decided to come clean and chuck their cap in the ring. Hurrah for Anderson Olivarius, our champions. The very names should strike fear in the hearts of our enemy, who […]
The Honesty Of The Catholic Church??????????
From my e-mails it is obvious that my regular and long term readers are getting anxious for news. Every day I keep receiving e-mails asking what happened to the Duggan business. After the Bishop’s fart of an apology published in the local Manchester rag on March 15 2011, was that […]
Cover Ups Of The Truth.
I suppose David Cameron felt himself to be a great shining white knight yesterday as he stood up in the Commons and gave his apology after the findings of the Independent Panel into the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 when 96 Liverpool supporters lost their lives in circumstances that should never […]

I would like to turn the readers attention to Orders of the Vatican. These are not instructions from our most beloved Pope but honorific Orders given or sanctioned to the good and honourable by our Holy Father. There are two types of Orders, three really, but I will explain. Papal […]
Monsignor William Lynn And The Chaos That Is Philadelphia Archdiocese.
It is with some satisfaction that I note the learned judge, Teresa Sarmina, has denied a defence motion made by the legal team of Monsignor William Lynn to allow him out on bail pending his appeal on the charge of child endangerment for which he was found guilty in June […]
Clerical Emotional Immaturity
Helen brought up the question first and it started making me think. “Why is it that the Church hierarchy all over the world say exactly the same thing and act in exactly the same way whenever there are allegations made against their priests?” Well I have pointed out previously that […]
Monsignor William Lynn of Philadelphia and Father “F” of Moree, New South Wales.
The good and breaking news yesterday came from Judge Teresa Sarmina, who said to Monsignor William Lynn in Philadelphia when he was presented for sentencing, “you know full well what was right, Monsignor Lynn, but you chose wrong”. She sentenced him to three to six years in prison after he […]
