    Séamus Ahearne: On being ‘a lovely priest’ and no intention of retiring!

    July 2 2021
    Paddy Ferry
    Paddy Ferry Says: Seamus Ahearne: On being “a lovely priest” ….. Worth repeating this, I think, Seamus. And, I am more convinced than ever that my theory is correct. Since I first wrote this I have seem much evidence that if a man is not a nice person he will never be a good priest. “You are a lovely priest!” Indeed you are Seamus and a living legend — still — in those parishes you once served with such distinction in Scotland. But you are also a lovely man. In my experience if you are a lovely man then the chances are that you will be a good — maybe even a great — priest. Well, that’s my theory anyway from years of observing the priesthood at work.

    Dublin Review of Books: The Catholic Church

    Joe@5, Otto died in July 2011 aged 98. A stroll through the Kapuzinergruft is well worth the ticket, if only to contrast the relative simplicity of Otto's 21st century coffin with all the ancestral death's head infestation of the bronze sarcophagi the Capuchins have to keep dusted. .....and at this stage, both Fergus O'Donoghue and Pádraig McCarthy must be wondering why they didn't excise those two little sentences about the Empress fox- or stag-hunting in Meath and Kildare. The article is still well worth the read.

    Dublin Review of Books: The Catholic Church

    January 23 2023
    Sean O’Conaill
    Disillusioned? About the survivability of monarchy and aristocracy? The superior virtue of the class to which she belonged? The long term prospect of European peace following the Congress of Vienna in 1814-15? The Enlightenment project of Utopia based upon reason as opposed to faith? Men in general? The Church? Her husband? Her support for Hungarian cultural autonomy via the dual monarchy arrangement could suggest that she was not a ‘republican’ herself. Re her attitude to religion: a Netflix series (The Empress) has her seriously outraged by a medical inspection to make certain of her virginity on arrival in Vienna, as a teenager - to permit the royal church wedding: attended in the same room by a Catholic hierarch who insists upon the procedure. Is that mere sensational cinematic exploitation of the current clerical abuse climate or could it have had a basis in fact? Surely strong-minded educated women in that era would have been inclined to look askance at the clerical Catholic church in any case? And Döllinger was not an ultramontanist - is that also suggestive of her own attitude to, e.g. papal infallibility? As what exactly do you think she may have wanted to be ‘taken seriously’? Poet? Stateswoman? Thinker? If she was ‘enigmatic’ could this not simply be due to an imperial requirement that she be that way, rather than publicly opinionated?

    Séamus Ahearne: On being ‘a lovely priest’ and no intention of retiring!

    July 2 2021
    MARY LOMAX
    My husband and I met the young Father Seamus when we were stationed in Scotland with the US Navy, 1980-1983. Through Marriage Encounter in Dundee, we were involved in several group family gatherings with Fr. Seamus and Fr. Larry (last name?). Their love for us all as God's people left a big mark on our hearts....we have recalled the blessings of their friendships many times over these past 40+ years.
