- Reaction in Galway to the news that after 40 years in the priesthood, 27 of those as bishop, Eamonn Casey has resigned.
As the news breaks of the resignation, tributes pour in from the people and clergy of Galway as they praise his charity work at home and abroad.
Sympathies are with Bishop Casey with one woman reluctant to judge his actions.
"The devil is out there to tempt us all and there’s none of us can judge anybody. It’s very hard on the church at the moment and I feel really that, even at this interview I don’t think it should be going on. I should leave it in the man above to judge everybody."
Reporter Jim Fahy describes,
"The almost unbearable sadness of early morning mass goers in a city which has struggled throughout the day to try to come to grips with the loss in such controversial circumstances of a bishop who had captured its heart and its imagination."
Sister Meta Reid comments on the media speculation surrounding the bishop’s resignation and describes his choice to resign as a reflection on the system and the need to talk about Bishop Casey in the present and not the past.
"I think it’s important to say he is a wonderful human being."
There was support from other religious including Dr Joseph Cassidy who commends Bishop Casey’s charitable work and describes him as,
A man of global compassion.
Provost Leslie Forrest, Rector of Galway, says Eamonn Casey had great global vision. Dr Michael Leahy, Mayor of Galway describes Casey as a man with a great social conscience and feels that,
History will treat him very kindly.
An RTÉ News report broadcast on 7 May 1992. The reporter is Jim Fahy.
In 1992 it was revealed that Bishop Eamonn Casey had fathered a child with American woman Annie Murphy. The child named Peter was born in 1973 when Casey was Bishop of Kerry. Bishop Eamonn Casey resigned as a result of the revelations.
Casey: Do as I say but not as I do. The Irish Catholic Church really tried hard to cover this up.
A woman I know that her husband was heavy handed decided to write to Casey for his advice and he promptly wrote back to her saying that she made her bed lay in it.
Jim Fahy the western correspondent for this article passed away this week Jan 2022 RIP JIM, ..."The people of Galway "... will miss you
I cleared Bishop Eamon Caseys residents out ,,back in the day this story broke. I remember selling his wardrobe to a customer but never told them who owned it. Omg As I’m watching this video I recognise people in it that’s since passed away.

Wasn't he lucky Jesus was looking after him?
Pity Jesus didn't look after the mother's and baby's instead!
They didn’t seem short of anything either way.
If only those holy Mary's knew what was coming in the church scandals , the antics of Casey was tame in comparison.
He abused his niece - same ilk as the other tools
Narcissis certainly know how to charm their audience. this wasn’t like a one off Continually misled and lied decades. This is a pattern of behavior
Thanks czcams.com/video/vN9GR6xRw24/video.html
Well yee all judged Annie Murphy the woman he had baby with yee hypocrites .terrified to go against the church .thank god times have changed
It takes two to tango. I don’t have any love for Casey but surely she knew the consequences of sleeping with a bishop and that it wouldn’t work out well.
@@michaelwalsh9145 but why was she vilified but Eamon was still seen as a good man?
@@davidbrennan5973 he had to leave Ireland for good, was it shame, guilt or did he get vilified?
@@michaelwalsh9145 he was the villain. He deserved it
Well, he was a hypocrite. The priests who abused children were worse. Once the child abuse was uncovered, the gig is up. However, there is good in the Catholic church.
@John Oconner I also think there are good people in the church, I've met some, just a few nuns that were exceptionally kind, also a few priests I met over the years were decent sound guys. It's the ying yang principle, there is good in bad, and bad in good, original commenter isn't being a hypocrite, that's how it is
Eamon Casey was accused of child abuse - his niece claimed he did it to her from the age of 5. Also a thief, and wrecked two churches in his charge, built from the pennies of poor parishioners.
@@flyingisaac2186 wowzers I hadn't heard of that. A friend's mother was a waitress at some function in a hotel in Ballinasloe back in the day, she said he was arrogant and rude, swilling back the alcohol and drunk as a skunk, she had nothing good to say about the man.
His son used to come to a club some mates of mine ran around 95/6 I worked on the door, everyone just danced, a little techno club where we freed ourselves from the oppressive suffocating influence of the church that we grew up with I guess you could say
@@siogbeagbideach The man was an enormous ego. Beer swilling rudeness fits. I notice Wikipedia doesn't detail the claims, but newspapers reported on it a while back. More like a sleazy club promoter than a man of God.
@@flyingisaac2186 o not beer, the finest of wines and spirits for the bishop
Will we tell him or will we watch it again sur we will watch it again
But but but the money was only resting my account😳
Yes, reminding us that he was a robber who was bailed out by supporters who discreetly raised the missing funds.
I remember first hearing about it on Morning Ireland. Does anyone have a link to that radio broadcast?
A priest is an ordinary man at the end of the day and so is a minister. The olny difference is is that they wear a collar. If they get involved with a woman in a heterosexual relationship fair enough. If they get caught then take the consequences for it. Totally different if its child abuse and paedophile activities there is no excuse under the sun for that.
How about if they get involved in a homosexual relationship? Is that "fair enough" too?
@@noelpucarua2843
As long as its two consenting adults that's OK.

@@bernicewade9796 You are as bad as Casey.
I was interviewed by the late Jim fahy that morning and my comments though supportive in a secular way were deemed to much for RTE at the time. However I will say that the comments of the late bishop Joe Cassidy were excellent. Joe Cassidy was one of the finest human beings that God ( if there is one) put on earth. He thought me at school but he gave me an insight in to who I was and who I could become. Sadly I never reached those dizzy heights, but I will always remember him as the saint that should have been . May his kind soul always be at peace and may those who do so pray for him.
Didnt he win an essay competition about how great he was?
A bishop in Ireland at that time was like being in the Beatles. Priests and bishops got a lot of female attention as because they were virgins @1:23 "in touch with their own vulnerability."
Seriously the amount of opportunity a Bishop would get I’m not a bit surprised.
I’d be surprised if he wasn’t having an affair …..
Aged well.
One paper at the time said that the Catholic Church were looking for a missionary position for him in Africa 😀😀😀
He seemed to know all about the missionary position 😆😆😆
@@williambinions4205 Brilliant haha
A bunch of hypocrites.
Did you know that the priest at 2.23 is Aiden Gillian's father . Fun fact
Thanks czcams.com/video/eL7BIGnj4SA/video.html
Devil 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Aw well God knows his doings but on reflection of the church he not a man of God
