Bill O’Reilly
and Maureen McPhilmy’s divorce gets messy – battle over child custody and
religion
Pundit allegedly pursuing a scorched
earth custody battle with ex

Cross Post: Irish
Central

That smoke you see billowing may be coming from the scorched earth custody
battle unleashed by the nation’s biggest pundit, Bill O’Reilly. Apparently the
atmosphere between O’Reilly and his ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy has become so
toxic that even the Catholic Church has gotten involved.

According to Gawker, O’Reilly separated
from his former wife McPhilmy at some point in 2011, then went on a rampage of
revenge to destroy the career of
the Nassau County Police detective she was allegedly dating.

Gawker reports that O’Reilly and McPhilmy are now formally
divorced, and she has since married the police detective, but O’Reilly has
reportedly now launched a scorched-earth custody battle dubbed Anonymous v. Anonymous—over
the ex-couple’s two children.

O’Reilly has also allegedly undermined his custody arrangement
with his ex by hiring as a member of his household staff the woman who he and
his ex had agreed on as a neutral arbiter of their disputes, Gawker claims.
O’Reilly, a practicing Catholic, may also be making attempts to annul his
marriage and have McPhilmy potentially excommunicated for continuing to take
communion in her Long Island parish despite having been divorced and remarried.

In May 2010, O’Reilly and his wife began living in separate houses
on Long Island, Gawker claims. Then in 2011 O’Reilly reportedly used his
connections with the Nassau County Police Department to try to launch an
internal affairs investigation into McPhilmy’s new boyfriend — a Nassau County
detective — for sleeping with his wife.

Gawker reports that it is currently suing the NCPD for
access to public
records
, including O’Reilly’s correspondence with former
commissioner Lawrence Mulvey, about the episode. That case is on appeal to the
Second Department of New York Supreme Court’s Appellate Division.

Gawker claims it has uncovered a case involving O’Reilly and his
ex in the Second Department. Called Anonymous 2011-1 v. Anonymous 2011-2, it
apparently found a judge willing to anonymize the names to protect the
interests of the children or the privacy of public citizens.

The case reportedly ended up in the appellate division,
where decisions are routinely published, frequently laying bare sensitive
details. The custody action is public
record
 and is published on the web site of the New York state
court system. It reportedly involves a father who attempted to maintain control
over the children he shared with his ex-wife by buying off their purportedly
neutral therapist. Anonymous 2011-1 is McPhilmy. Anonymous 2011-2 is O’Reilly.

Here’s what the Second Department opinion reveals:

O’Reilly and McPhilmy separated on April 2, 2010.

They divorced on September 1, 2011.

They agreed to share custody of their two children, aged 13 and
10.

The couple’s separation
agreement
 included provisions allowing for shared custody—they
each got the children on alternating weeks. And it also appointed a ‘neutral
therapist’ to act as a neutral mediator to help them resolve any parenting
disputes. But Gawker reveals that in October 2011 McPhilmy took O’Reilly to
court after learning that the woman she thought had been a neutral therapist
was in fact a member of her ex-husband’s household staff.

      There is no way McPhilmy is “potentially excommunicated” for receiving Holy Communion simply because she divorced and remarried. The Catholic Church would consider this mortally or seriously sinful, but is of itself no grounds for excommunication. (Excommunication means that a person cannot hold or exercise any office or ministry in the Church and cannot receive the sacraments.) This penalty did exist for divorced and remarried Catholics since the late 1800s, but only in the US; this penalty was rescinded in the late 1970s by Rome at the request by the US bishops.
      Perhaps the author confused the inability to receive Holy Communion under these circumstances with excommunication.
