63: The Irish Priest Who Armed the Provisional IRA

This week's episode focuses on the life of Father Patrick Ryan, a Catholic priest who had a unique relationship with the Provisional IRA and Libyan Dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.
Through Father Ryan, the Provisional IRA received millions in cash, but it was his engineering work with Provisional IRA bombs, which would end up saving the lives of many paramilitaries… while allowing them to improve the efficacy of their bombing campaign.

I read the book by Jennifer O’Leary called
“The Priest” about this man. I got the impression that he became a priest out of convenience, but his true vocation was Republicanism.

There isn’t many videos of RPGs being used in action,plenty of staged photos and training footage,their use must have put the wind up the security forces and RUC

Shocking just shocking if that’s what he had to say he never really was a catholic priest.
God have Mercy Divine Mercy on all sides.

Virtue without prudence is not virtue at all we should pray to the Holy Spirit for this glance of prudence prudence consist in direction rational reflection and courageous resolution. The final decision is always up to us. We must decide we can and we ought to seek advice and light diary of Saint Faustina. This is very sad that a priest can be involved in such evil so many people have suffered at the hands of Republicans and loyalist the fruit of all this is all over Ireland abortion on demand the people of Ireland voted for this, also in the north of Ireland no count can be given how many babies are dead we should ask God for mercy because the whole country is guilty of these crimes confusing the children of their gender promoting all kinds of evil thou shall not kill the commandment of the Lord is holy those involved are not Christians at heart but doing the devils work evil is evil full stop violence begets violence drugs violence is the fruit of what happened in the past and if people do not turn back to God it can only get worse.
