  • Chapter 19 Fr Jovito*1
    Chapter 19 Fr Jovito*1 Introduction 19.1 In 1995 Archbishop Connell wrote that Fr Jovito “is a confirmed paedophile. He was ordained in 1978, but even before his ordination – as it subsequently appeared – he was engaged in paedophiliac activities with minors”. 19.2 Fr Jovito is probably the most notorious child sexual abuser to have come to the attention of the Commission. The Commission is aware of more than 40 named people who have complained of child sexual abuse by him. He has admitted to abusing many others; while he may not use the term ‘child sexual abuse’, he has admitted to using children for sexual gratification once a fortnight over an eight-year period. That constitutes child sexual abuse. He claims he did not abuse after that eight year period but the evidence suggests that he continued in a similar pattern. His pattern of behaviour is such that it is likely that he has abused hundreds of children. He was convicted in respect of seven complainants. Civil settlements have been reached with 21 complainants. He was laicised in 1995 and is currently living in Dublin. 19.3 Fr Jovito was born in 1954. He was ordained in 1978. The earliest allegations against him predate his ordination. He himself has admitted that he abused before he was ordained but most of the complaints about his activities prior to 1978 did not surface until many years later. It is known that during his time as a seminarian he had a key to the house of another well known abuser, Fr Noel Reynolds (see Chapter 35), and it is alleged that some of the abuse took place in that house.

    With Trust in Place: Writing from the Outside A unique and compelling collection of writing on the theme of ‘the outsider’, edited by Trust Director and Co-founder, Alice Leahy and including contributions by Maeve Binchy, Christy Moore, Con Houlihan, Gene Kerrigan, Justice Michael Moriarty, Anita Reeves and many more… Alice Leahy has brought together a remarkable and hugely diverse range of contributions, from a number of well-known and not so well known figures in Irish society, including one man, a poet, who is homeless. Alice and her colleagues at Trust work hands on in the front line, providing human contact and health care to those who have become homeless, the most marginalised in Irish society. Alice considers that hands on approach to be Trust’s greatest strength, believing that “it gives us the motivation to continue to challenge the bureaucracy that is stifling the initiative of others in front line care who try the put people first.” As Alice says, “My work over the years on the margins of Irish society would not have been possible without the support of people in many walks of life. This is highlighted by the diversity of people who generously gave of their time to produce some thought provoking and in some cases provocative pieces for this book – a book we hope may help us to be a little more understanding of those who are different.” With Trust in Place: Writing from the Outside published by TownHouse Dublin and available in bookshops at €12-99.

  • Chapter 19 Fr Jovito* 252
    Chapter 19 Fr Jovito* 252 1.26 Only two canonical trials took place over the 30-year period. Both were at the instigation of Archbishop Connell and the Commission gives him credit for initiating the two penal processes which led to the dismissal of Fr Bill Carney in 1990 and Fr Jovito* in 1996. The Commission recognises that he did this in the face of strong opposition from one of the most powerful canonists in the Archdiocese, Monsignor Sheehy. Monsignor Sheehy, who had very extensive knowledge of canon and civil law and argued strongly that canon law was capable of dealing with all cases involving allegations of child sexual abuse, actually considered that the penal aspects of that law should rarely be invoked. 8 1.38 Archbishop Ryan failed to properly investigate complaints, among others, against Fr McNamee, Fr Maguire, Fr Ioannes*, Fr Jovito*, Fr Septimus* and Fr Carney. He also ignored the advice given by a psychiatrist in the case of Fr Moore that he should not be placed in a parish setting. Fr Moore was subsequently convicted of a serious sexual assault on a young teenager while working as a parish curate. 11 1.42 The appointment of Archbishop Connell in 1988 was a surprise. He was an academic with virtually no experience of parish work or of management of an organisation. He was aware that Fr had a problem before he became Archbishop. He was immediately faced with the problems of Fr Carney and Fr Jovito*. The Commission has no doubt that he was stunned not by the fact but by the extent of the clerical child sexual abuse with which he had to deal.

  • Sexual Abuse and the Irish Church: Crisis and Responses
    Occasional Paper # 8 Sexual Abuse and the Irish Church: Crisis and Responses Synopsis The authors recount the history of the sexual abuse crisis that emerged in the Irish church during the 1990’s and the range of responses to it. About the Authors Robert Savage is Associate Director of the Boston College Irish Studies Program. His current research focuses on the development of the electronic media in Ireland in the 1960's. This work explores the first decade of Irish television investigating the development of a native news service and the controversies surrounding the broadcasting of Irish and foreign produced programming. He is the author of many books and articles, including Ireland in the new century: Politics, Culture and Identity, Four Courts Press (2002) James Smith teaches Irish literature and culture from the seventeenth century though the contemporary period. He is especially interested in cultural studies. He has published articles on Ben Jonson's Irish Masque at Court and on contemporary Irish narrative. He is currently working on a book project examining the representation of institutional care in contemporary Irish culture. After the Irish famine, the Catholic Church emerged as a powerful force in Ireland and it has continued to exert tremendous influence in Irish politics and society. In the early years of the Irish Free State, governments were at pains to prove their loyalty and commitment to the Catholic hierarchy. In 1930 the Irish government established diplomatic relations with the Vatican, and in elections President W.T. Cosgrave made much of his government’s close relationship with the church.
