Christina Gallagher; The sensational use of a provocative and negative image of 'cult' by some media people is designed to denigrate, dismiss and harm the work of Our Lady Queen of Peace, House of Prayer in Achill, Christina Gallagher and Fr McGinnity - and It is absurd!


Sensational use of a provocative and negative image.

One of the most regularly heard terms used by media people or others seeking to denigrate, dismiss or harm the work which Our Lady Queen of Peace, House of Prayer in Achill seeks to do, was to describe all those involved as members of a “cult” or a “sect”.


What is a Cult?

If a group claimed to be Christian, yet taught something fundamentally different from what the Bible teaches, then you would talk about a religious cult. Similarly, if a self styled Buddhist group taught something greatly at variance with Buddhism, they would be called a cult. Very often, cults used a belief system Christian or otherwise, as their base, but what makes them a clut is that they rely on mind control and deception to gain and hold members, and coercion and at times, even force, to prevent members from leaving.

Cults trick people into joining up, and then coerce or scare them into remaining as members. A normal non-cult like religious organisation or grouping, where the belief system is what really matters, has no trouble about someone being a member of, or moving to another group. So, somebody might be in the St Vincent de Paul, or the Legion of Mary, or any other Cathoic Organisation, and also be a pilgrim to and supporter of the House of Prayer and believe in the messages given to Christina Gallahger.


What a Real Cult can Cause

To Look briefly at just three of the most widely publicised and self destructive cults of recent decades and what they caused:

  • Heaven’s Gate Cult:
    Followers of Heaven’s Gate cult led primarily by Marshall Applewhite, thought the Earth and everything on it were about to be ‘recycled’ to a clean slate and believed hitching a ride on comet Hale-Bopp in March 1997 could allow them to survive. Thirty-nine members (including Applewhite) poisoned themselves in shifts in a California mansion wearing Nike’s sneakers and armband ds that read “Heaven’s Gate Away Team”

  • Aum Shinrikyo Cult
    Founded sometime in teh mid 1980s, Aum Shinrikyo is infamous for attacking Tokyo's subway system with Sarin gas i 1995, killing 12 and injuring more than 5,000 people. The Cult's beliefs are often described as a hodge-podge of destructive aspects of various religions, and whil many followers throught they would develop supernatural powers, others relished the chance to fight Japanese materialism.

  • People's Temple Cult
    Rev Jim Jones started the Peoplse Temple to help homeless, jobless and sick people of all races, but former members claimed widespread abuse within the group. To remove his group from further scrutiny, Jones started a colony in the jungles fo Guyana, where he hoped to build a tropical utopia. When a congressman visited the commune with three journalists to investigate the abuse claims, they were shot and killed when trying to leave. After the shotings, 913 commune members - including hundreds of children- drank poison in a horrific mass suicide.



When one would consider the actions of groups such as these where control and freedom are taken from individuals for absurd causes, how can anyone of sound mind suggest a link of any kind between such bizarre groups, and those who support the House of Prayer in Achill? And can anyone explain why some so-called Christian people and believers, sadly even some priests have chosen to use such a nasty and derogatory term to describe the followers of Our Lady, who chose of their own free will as Cathoics, to regularly visit the House of Prayer in Achill, to do nothing contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church and do nothing different than anyone would do on any pilgrimage to any Catholic place of pilgrimage? The media vendetta being orchestrated against Christina Gallagher, Fr McGinnity and the House of Prayer Achill blatantly and maliciously uses the word "cult" and "cultism" to create a negative, oppressive and threatening image. It is used cynically to foster resentment and suspicion and to demean all concerned and all in any way positive or supportive of this mission.
