Rite & Reason: Until the rest have been named, there is no context for the life of Joseph Marmion SJ. He operated within an organisation that harboured child abusers
Joseph Marmion died in 2000 without ever having to face justice for his years of abuse of children. Photograph: RTÉAlmost 20 years ago, I had a book published in which I took a brief detour into memories of my schooldays. I mentioned thatthat the Jesuits prepared a statement to be issued if my revelation prompted media inquiries. However, what I had to say aboutI knew that Marmion measured boys of 12 to 14 who were taking part in his Viennese operettas, stark naked and alone in his room.
I decided to write the story of Joseph Marmion, and the result is a short virtual book called Deny Everything: The Life and Crimes of Joseph Marmion SJBut while I can tell the story of the man in terms of his childhood, education, formation as a Jesuit, his teaching career and ultimate downfall, there is something missing: context.Until the rest have been named, there is no context for the life of Marmion.
A former provincial told one of Marmion’s victims: ‘I wish, once and for all, I could put all the dirty laundry on the table and deal with all of it at the same time.’ There seems to be little chance of that any time soon A former provincial told one of Marmion’s victims: “I wish, once and for all, I could put all the dirty laundry on the table and deal with all of it at the same time.” There seems to be little chance of that any time soon.
