New Irish Bishop Presided Over A Gay Scandal Seminary

Pope Francis named Father Dermot Farrell on January 3 as the bishop of Ossory, Ireland.

Farrell served from 1996 to 2007 as president of the only Irish seminary in Maynooth and from 2009 to 2018 as vicar general of Meath diocese.

Church Militant reports that Maynooth sank under Farrell’s leadership into steep decline since. Faithful seminarians were persecuted and driven out, while a flourishing homosexual subculture developed.

For Church Militant Farrell "oversaw [the] gay scandals at Maynooth”.

As for Fr Farrell's appointment it would be amazing if he was unaware of what was allegedly happening under his own nose. Time was a scandal could cost a bishop his see (poor, decent Moriarty lost his for far less) but now it seems that they are so desperate for men to say yes to being bishops that they are glad to find one who does so, regardless of his past record.
