Jump To Comment: 3 2 1You can guarantee our local Parish Priest in BRAY is there grinning in photos in our local newspaper almost every week with the CREAM of local society who are all in his pocket. Local Councillors, School Principals, those associated with Golf Clubs, local hotel owners, the local council who donated a Defibrillator which offered a photo opportunity for him but now lies gathering dust when he never was interested enough to organise the three monthly re-training courses and up grading of skills for same or even bothering to draw up rota for those qualified to use it. It meant a gathering of local press and photographers and his PUSS in all the local papers praising him for the FIRST Church to have one and now as we say you could prise the dust and grime off it he is no longer interested and looking with his cronies for the next photo opportunity almost begging for offers from locals to get the PUSS in the papers again. Local radio is no problem to him either to advertise his wares when he gets the chance. What a hypocrite out for self promotion and nothing else. No care for the genuine church goers under his care. They get regular begging letters looking for more Euro to swell the church coffers while he plans grandeur for the local church to put it into three quarters of a million in debt and soon after he will move off to another Parish leaving us to pay for his ego boost for 10 years or more and all this for things that we the Parishioners do not want but we have no say. All was planned and agreed behind our backs. That is his form of democracy.
At great expense a prefab TIN BOX Church has been in the Church grounds for over a month now and huge metal shipping containers also there for store of Church furniture etc., but is there any sign of the workmen or work being done yet while the rental of all this is costing us the Parishioners a fortune NO. ZIP, NADA. He had gates locked while work on the site was meant to be going on for almost 3 weeks. Now they are open again but the little man is probably too embarrassed to update us as to what the heck is happening and why no work has started. We were supposed to have our Church back and ready for Easter now a month has been WASTED and nothing done.
Archbishop Martin sits on his throne and ignores what is going on in the Parish and with the Parish Priest while he swans around lording it over his cronies and serfs.
It is not just the government that need a wake up call. The Church needs one too.
We should fire the lot of them. People power that is what we need. As well as protest marches to Government Offices we should have them to our local Churches too.
the local solicitor, the do-gooders on the committees and in the charity shop, a few business people and even the parish priest who gossip about everyone else and marginalise anyone who dares to disagree with them. there is method in the madness tho: MONEY. Check out who is drinking the champagne in the pictures in the local papers.
Local Councillors ? Dont make me laugh ... The Majority of the bunch of wannabees are mere apprentice Nosy Parkers ,Devoid of any Brains worth
writing about , A mish mash collection of brainless twits well in with 'those who matter in the local community ' .
A talking shop full of scroungers, scammers who might as well be looking into a black hole of Calcutta ,Phoney is a word that springs to mind and the
all important ''we know something that U dont '' smirk on the cabbage and potato red puss's which only a mother could love .
