Roman Catholic Church Child Abuse

Timothy Howard

Enough is enough, time to march and demand the arrest and prosecution of ALL Pedophile Pimps of the Unholy Roman Catholic Cult

JAN 31

Enough is enough, time to March and demand the arrest and prosecution of ALL Pedophile Pimps of the Unholy Roman Catholic Cult

There comes a time when all good and decent human beings on the planet stands up as one voice and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

For far too long, the Unholy Roman Catholic Cult of Pedophile Pimps, Pedophile Priests and Nuns and the Parishioners who stand up and defend them, have gotten away with their CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD!!!

For far too long, we have given this disgusting, degenerate, evil, demonic cult, chance after chance, to clean up their acts, to put their Pedophile Pimps like all of the following, on trial for their parts in their crimes of covering up and protecting and defending their degenerate pedophiles and child abusers.

Each and every one of the individuals above, have overwhelming, clear and convincing evidence against them, that they protected their cult of pedophiles, by moving these dangerous predators, who brutalize, and rape, body, mind and soul, hundreds of thousands of children and teens throughout the world. They violated NUMEROUS International, Federal and State laws. As signatures of the United Nations Conventions Against Torture and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, they have thumbed their noses at these laws, again and again, believing that because they are the leaders of this cult, that they are above the law and no one can make them pay for their crimes.

In around 2002, the various Attorney Generals of the states, all gave the Roman Catholic Church a break. Instead of criminal prosecutions, they and the church agreed to clean up it’s acts, stop attacking the victims and make sure all of their pedophiles are no longer protected. Yet, the Roman Catholic Church have broken this agreements again and again and again and again. The states Attorney Generals who made these deals with the devils, should far by now realize, that the Roman Catholic Church did this to protect themselves from their leaders ending up in prison, that they NEVER had any intention of abiding by these agreements. We can show, with overwhelming evidence and proof, that many predatory, perverted, pedophile priests are still raping children in the United States and in other countries and that in fact, their Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops protected them and moved them around. Now we can show these dangerous pedophiles stomping grounds are in Central and South America. We can prove this, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

The following stories on my blog proves this:

South America has become a safe haven for the Catholic Church’s alleged child molesters. The Vatican has no comment.

(https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.wordpress.com/2015/10/28/south-america-hasbecome-asafe-haven-for-the-catholic-churchs-alleged-child-molesters-the-vatican-has-nocomment/)

Chilean court asks Vatican for records in abuse case

(https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.wordpress.com/2015/11/29/chilean-court-asksvatican-forrecords-in-abuse-case/)

(https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/pope-francis-defiesun-ontorturing-children-2/pope-francis-2/)

Yeah Pope Francis sure does love his pedophiles.

We can show that Pope Francis, as usual of their Popes, only talks a talk. His actions belie his participation in the continued protection of the leaders who covered up these crimes, despite his words, in an address to the Bishops in Philadelphia when he stated:

“The crimes and sins of sexual abuse of minors cannot be kept secret any longer. I commit myself to the zealous watchfulness of the church to protect minors, and I promise that all those responsible will be held accountable.”

Yet, in the case of Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, knowing that Wesolowski did in fact rape children in the Dominican Republic. Stating he was going to prosecute him, Francis brought him to the Vatican and left him his freedom, for over two years, without lifting one finger to prosecute him. It was only after the UN Committee Against Torture kept calling Francis out on this, that he decided to act, but interestingly enough, two days after Francis stated he was finally going to hold trial for Wesolowski, he was found dead in his room, rather convenient eh?

Francis has also elevated a known protector of pedophile priests, Juan Barros to the position of Bishop. Despite the fact that decent Bishops, priests and parishioners begged him not to do so. Francis elevated him anyway, even touching off a riot in Chile and now Barros has to walk around with armed guards.

That he absolutely refuses to abide by the demands, as signatures of the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. That he is still protecting, contrary to his own vows and promises, Cardinals such as Bernard Law, George Pell, Justin Rigali and many other of these Pedophile Pimps at the Vatican under their sovereign immunity laws. He has NOT prosecuted any of the American Cardinals, such as Timothy Dolan, Roger Mahony, Donald Wuerl and far too many others, against whom there is again, overwhelming evidence they participated in not only the cover

ups, but also attacks against the victims. Particularly using loudmouth, drunken, bully Bill Donohue of the Catholic League.

This can be shown with the following stories that are in my blog:

Pope Francis Concealed His Actions Against Two Prelates. Now Both “Whereabouts are Unknown.”

Pope Francis Defies UN on Torturing Children

(https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/pope-francis-defies-unontorturing-children-2/)

There should be NO Statute of Limitations against this crime of rape and abuse of children, nor should these criminals be able to also hide behind sovereign immunity laws, to get away with their crimes. To allow such laws, to where criminals who rape children, who destroy their lives, especially when it is done, by religious priests, pastors or ministers, or to have their crimes covered up and protected by their Popes, Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops, is a slap in the face to ALL victims of the crimes of rape and abuse, especially when those crimes are perpetrated against children. It also makes the Justice system a joke.When victims and survivors finally have the guts and strength to speak out against the crimes committed against them, and the pain and suffering they went through, while hiding these crimes that were perpetrated against them, because the priest raping them, controlled them through the horror and fear of hell? That is an especially monstrous kind of evil. All victims and survivors deserve the right to justice, deserve a right to see those who harmed them, raped them and destroyed their lives, see those who committed these crimes against them, pay for those crimes. To do anything less, makes a mockery of the Justice system. We may as well just throw out all statutes and laws against the rapes and abuses of children, because in essence? That is what is already been done.

Then this churches habit, of attacking the victims, having their mouthpieces, branding them as liars, gold diggers, out looking for a payday from their church. Or with the likes of disgusting Bill Donohue, who actually said in the courtroom to my face, “If a 15 year old did not stop what was happening to him? Then that means he not only wanted it, he enjoyed it and he is a homosexual because of it.” Or all the other trash talk that Bill Donohue spews from his drunken mouth against us.

Or when we are called the seducers of our rapists.

Or when “Father” Richard Ross stated;””I don’t have much sympathy for people who somehow couldn’t stop whatever happened,” Richard Ross told the Joliet Herald-News. “I’ll take all of these people who were abused, and I’ll abuse them with a baseball bat. You can quote me on that.”

These are absolutely disgusting attacks against the victims. To take Ross’s and Donohue’s statements, just please explain to us, what would have happened to us, if we had punched our rapist priests? Why it would have been us who would have been charged and prosecuted, for assault and battery on a cleric. No one would have believed myself, if I had punched out “Father” Leon Gaulin, “Father” Joseph Desmond and the blond haired priest who spent that night raping me at St Thomas More parish in Durham NH. I had been brought there by a police officer because my father and I had gotten into a fight. I was a troubled youth already. Imagine if I had punched them all out? I would not have been believed that because I beat the snot out of them, that I was doing so because they were raping me. Especially in 1975. No one really knew about this massive problem in the cult of Pedophile Pimps and Priests yet. No, I would have been arrested and charged with assault and battery, prosecuted and thrown into YDC in Manchester, probably til I was 18.

All of this, the continued cover-ups and protection of pedophile priests, especially down in South and Central America, the continued protection of ALL the Pedophile Pimp Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops, the continued denial of justice to the victims and survivors, hiding behind the statute of limitations and the sovereign immunity laws SCREAM that these must be dealt with, because the Church of Pedophiles refuse to seriously do so.

“Saint”

Yet, what can you expect, from a cult, where they ruled the world at one time and to even dare speak out, or disagree with them, got you an invitation to the Inquisitional Court, where you were tortured and put to death?

We can also show, these are a long running crime with this cult. The very words of one of those they declared a Saint, Peter Damian, echos throughout the centuries, when he stated in an admonition to the Cult in 1049:

“Listen, you do-nothing superiors of clerics and priests. Listen, and even though you feel sure of yourselves, tremble at the thought that you are partners in the guilt of others; those, I mean, who wink at the sins of their subjects that need correction and who by ill-considered silence allow them license to sin. Listen, I say, and be shrewd enough to understand that all of you alike are deserving of death, that is, not only those who do such things, but also they who approve those who practice them.”

It is time, it is time for all good and decent human beings to take a stand. To march, to protest, to stand up to this continuing disgusting, demonic, evil behavior by those who dare proclaim how they are the protectors and defenders of children, especially with their stances on contraception and abortion, and then turn around and be responsible, for the brutal rapes, enslavement, beatings, tortures and murder of children, on a mass scale, for hundreds of years, against children. This is pure and sheer hypocrisy of its highest form.

The Industrial Homes, the Industrial Schools, the Magdalene and Good Shepherd Laundries, the Women’s and Children’s Homes, the Churches run High and Middle Schools, were actual places of pain, suffering, horror and nightmares, for many who as children and teens went to them. We can far prove that in all of these institutions, incredible crimes against children were perpetrated. The Church should be held accountable. They ALL, from Pope Francis, to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, to each and every Cardinal, Bishop and Archbishop named above, should in fact, be treated just as we treated the Nazi leaders during the Nuremberg trials. Just because they happen to be the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church, should NOT allow them to get away with their incredible crimes against humanity and the children of the world.

They do not deserve one ounce of respect. They do not deserve one ounce of decency. They are literal scum in my eyes. Even worse than their proclaimed Satan. For they go around, proclaiming themselves the Holy Men of God, with the power to forgive sins, or not and send you straight to hell. They go around proclaiming how they are the leaders of the One True Church of Jesus Christ. Yet, they are nothing more than the worse sub-humans on the planet. These are NOT Holy Men of God. These are NOT the leaders of the church of Jesus Christ. These are evil, degenerate, psychotic, freaks, who deserve nothing more, than arrest, prosecution and upon conviction? The death penalty. For their crimes this is what is demanded. Far too many victims of their cult have committed suicide because not only of their rapes, but the continued brutalization against

them perpetrated by this disgusting cult. They should in fact, be charged with First Degree Murder, for each and every victim, who blew their brains out, or hung themselves or killed themselves in other ways.

To see this Pope and the others, worshiped and adored, by their pew polishers, and having them call them the leaders of the church that their Christ founded? To even declare Pope John Paul II a Saint, when they damn well KNOW he covered up and turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to the evils of Marciel Marcial and Hans Hermann Groer? Is disgusting to say the least. It is pure evil, to proclaim any of them holy. It is truly a slap in the face to the one they proclaim to follow, Jesus, who stated, it would be better for you to hang a millstone around your neck and throw yourself into the deepest of lakes than to harm a single hair on the head of a child. And they, NONE of them, deserve one ounce of forgiveness from ANY victim, for they have NOT repented of their crimes against us and continue to this day to commit crimes against children and teens in the same fashion.

It is also high time, that our United States Attorney General, our States Attorney Generals who made these compacts with the devils, stand up for the victims and prosecute them. It is time for the United Nation to get off their asses and prosecute the Popes, and others at the Vatican for their violations of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Convention Against Torture. To not do so, sends a message to them, that they can continue to commit these crimes and cover them up with impunity.

It is time to stop fearing the cult of Pedophiles. It is time to stop being afraid of them, for they are NOT gods, they are NOTHING but criminals, hiding behind their cult church to get away with their crimes. It is time to make them FEAR US, arrest them, prosecute them and upon conviction? Give them the death penalty. Anything less, would again, be a slap in the face to each and every victim, survivor, suicide victim and the justice system.

A priest abuse victims/survivors Letter to Pope Francis, English Version, translation of Italian Letter

SEP 21

A priest abuse victims/survivors Letter to Pope Francis, English Version, translation of Italian Letter

This is the English translation of the blog posting La lettera di una vittima di abuso al sacerdote Papa Francesco in Italiano (https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.wordpress.com/2015/09/21/la-lettera-di-unavittima-diabuso-al-sacerdote-papa-francesco-in-italiano/)

Hey Pope Francis, how does it feel to proclaim yourself the representative of Jesus and God, while protecting all of your Pedophile Pimp Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops who covered up the mass rapes and abuses of children? Do you think the one you claim to represent, Jesus would do the same thing? Do you think Pope Francis that Jesus would stand up and defend and protect those who did this? Do you think Jesus would call them Holy?

Your own Roman Catholic Catechism speaks of rape as follows: PART THREE: LIFE IN CHRIST; SECTION TWO: THE TEN COMMANDMENTS; CHAPTER TWO: “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF”; ARTICLE 6:THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT; Offenses against chastity: 2356 Rape is the forcible violation of the sexual intimacy of another person. It does injury to justice and charity. Rape deeply wounds the respect, freedom, and

Yeah Pope Francis sure does love his pedophiles.

physical and moral integrity to which every person has a right. It causes grave damage that can mark the victim for life. It is always an intrinsically evil act. Graver still is the rape of children committed by parents (incest) or those responsible for the education of the children entrusted to them.

Do you believe, Pope Francis, that the rapes and tortures of hundreds of thousands of children throughout the world, perpetrated upon them by your own priests of your Roman Catholic Church, is in accordance with your teachings of your own Catechism, or the words of your Jesus?

Do you believe Pope Francis, that all the children and teens, who were raped, tortured, enslaved, brutalized, used as medical experiments including forced sterilization, in your Roman Catholic Institutions, like the Magdalene and Good Shepherd Laundries, the Industrial Homes such as Artane and Bindoon, the Women’s and Children’s Homes such as Taum and the First Nation Industrial Schools, was in keeping with the teachings of your Catechism and Jesus Christ?

You asked us not too long ago to accept your apologies and forgive you and your church for what was done to us. Yet how can we forgive you and your church? For to be forgiven, according to your bible and the teachings, you must truly repent of all your sins and crimes.

Yet how do those of us, whom were raped and had our souls stolen from us, whom committed suicide because of it, can give him forgiveness, or any of us so harmed, when he refuses to clean house of all the Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops whom covered up these evil crimes and are still sitting in the positions that they are in?

How can Paul Anthony Carson, whom upon seeing the priest whom raped him walking down the street and then going home and hanging himself, being found by his parents, forgive him?

How can Emma Foster, whom was raped by Father Kevin O’Donnell, while at a primary school whom committed suicide because of it, forgive him?

How can Daniel Neill, whom committed suicide because of his rapist priest, Joseph Gallagher, forgive him?

How can the 30 boys raped at the St Alipius primary school, whom committed suicide forgive him for their rapes?

How can Lou Pirona, Bill Zeller, David M. Jarobe Jr,Kathleen McGonigle, Eric Patterson, Bobby Thompson, Paul Tafolla, Daniel Romney, Gilbert Rodriguez, Eduardo Ramon Boehland, or those whom for the bell was rung 170 times at Church of Our Savior on Wilshire Boulevard, whom committed suicide in the United States, or any of the other victims, throughout the world, who were raped, tortured, brutalized by your priests, brothers, nuns and sisQueen

How can we, or why should we forgive you all, when you use your Church lawyers, to fight us every step of the way and deny us justice by using the statute of limitations to get our cases dismissed when we seek justice for the evil crimes committed against us, by your priests and others of your Roman Catholic Church? Or your Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops, using Roman Catholics in our legislature, to fight tooth and nail any changes to the statute of limitations, or the opening of a window for victims to come forward and seek justice?

Cardinal Timothy Dolan, showed us all how this church truly feels towards us victims, (https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/cardinaltimothydolan.jpg) Cardinal Timothy Dolan

especially when we seek justice for the crimes committed against us by your church. When New York passed the same sex marriage law, Cardinal Dolan cried about how he felt betrayed by the State of New York for doing so. Yet, in the same breath, he cried and said the following over New York wanting to change the ONE YEAR statute of limitations against child rape and abuse: He stated he wanted the

one year statute of limitations against child rape to be kept because if the church gets sued, “The perpetrators don’t suffer. There’s no burden on them. What suffers are the services and the ministries of the apostolates that we’re doing now. Because where does the money come from? So the bishops of 30 years ago that allegedly may have reassigned abusers, they don’t suffer. They’re dead. So the people that suffer are those who are being served right now by the church. We feel that’s a terribly unjust burden.”

Notice that Pope Francis? Read his words and put yourself in the place of the victims. Not one word about our unjust burdens, not one word about our pain and suffering. Not one word about the evil horrors what we have had to suffer through in our lives, horrors that have provoked many of us, to commit suicide.

And, Cardinal Dolan lied in his statement. Most of those Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops who covered up these crimes against children, are not dead, they are still alive, protected and defended at all costs by your church. Cardinal Bernard Law, George Pell, Timothy Dolan, Roger Mahony, Donald Wuerl, and many others, are in fact, still alive. They all participated in these cover ups, they all participated in the moving around dangerous pedophile priests, to avoid detection and arrest for their crimes against us.

You, Pope Francis, are also guilty of these same crimes. As in relation to Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski and others. You, Pope Francis, KNEW what Archbishop Wesolowski had done to the children in the Dominican Republic. You KNEW he was paying street children to have sex with him, and to take pornographic pictures of them. You, Pope Francis, had him brought to

Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, former nuncio to the Dominican Republic, is pictured celebrating Mass in Santo Domingo in 2009.

the Vatican in Rome, knowing that once you did? He was then protected under the sovereign immunity of the Vatican, that this would prevent his arrest and prosecution of him by the officials of the Dominican Republic

You, Pope Francis, KNEW he was a danger to children and others, yet YOU did not put him in a jail cell when you had him recalled to the Vatican. And while Wesolowski had his freedom, for over a year and a half, he continued his crimes against children. He continued to pay children for sex, he continued to take pornographic pictures and even videos of his criminal acts against children, and it has been proven that some of these children died a horrible death because of it.

A dossier accusing Wesolowski of sex abuse of minors was sent to Pope Francis “sometime in July” 2013 by Santo Domingo Cardinal Nicolás de Jesús López Rodríguez. The pope found the information credible enough to dismiss Wesolowski on August 21 via confidential letter. But the pope never reported Wesolowski to civil authorities nor made the information public.

All prelates should make credible allegations public as a warning to avoid contact with the accused. Also, any other victims should be encouraged to contact a law enforcement agency perhaps making the investigation easier, apprehension and prosecution more certain. The group, Survivors’ Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), defines failure to take these steps as a “cover up.”

Wesolowski left the country before a local TV program broadcast an exposé on August 31. It was reported in January 2014 that Wesolowski “is now thought to be living in Rome and is protected from extradition by diplomatic immunity.” “For me it was a surprise to see Wesolowski walking along Via della Scrofa in Rome,” Santo Domingo Auxiliary Bishop Víctor Masalles tweeted on June 24, 2014.

Embarrassed, the Vatican announced on June 27 that Wesolowski had been laicized (defrocked) “in the past few days … Measures will be taken so he is in a precise restricted location, without any freedom of movement,” said Vatican spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, without specifying how this would be accomplished. The press reported this as proof of the pope’s “zero tolerance” for child sex abuse.

November 22, 2014: Wesolowski was seen “walking quietly inside the Vatican City…in apparent freedom” and is presumed to still live there under house arrest. This proves to us that Fr. Federico Lombardi lied to us, as is usual with the Roman Catholic Church when it concerns their pedophiles.

Defrocking means a cleric is fired without being reported to the police. The most serious punishment available to the pope is excommunication. Pope Francis excommunicated an Australian priest for supporting women’s ordination and same sex marriage. He also excommunicated the leaders of the lay group, We Are Church, for celebrating mass in their home.

But, did you excommunicate Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, Pope Francis? No you did not. It is apparent to us victims of your crimes of your church against us, that you find a priest saying women should be ordinated, and one who supports same sex marriage, or a lay group having mass in their homes, more worthy of excommunication, than a pedophile, who paid children for sex, raped them, or possessed over 100,000 child pornographic images and videos of child porno on their computer.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI blessing Pedophile “Father” Marcial You, Pope Francis, have proven to us, the victims and those who fight for us, that you are just like the rest. That you will protect and defend those who rape children, instead of standing up to them, instead of standing up for the victims. That you will protect and defend the pedophiles and the pedophile pimps, like Pope Emeritus Bendict XVI and the Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops who covered these crimes up, and it is business as usual on this matter. To deny us victims any rights to justice for the crimes committed against us by your church.

The UN Committee against Torture “found that the widespread sexual violence within the Catholic Church amounted to torture and cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.” After Vatican officials were called to Geneva in May 2014 to respond to tough questions like why the pope believed his responsibility for protecting children against torture only applied on Vatican property, the committee issued its report.

The members “ordered the Vatican to hand over files containing details of clerical sexual abuse allegations to police forces around the world, … to use its authority over the Roman Catholic Church worldwide to ensure all allegations of clerical abuse are passed on to the secular authorities and to impose ‘meaningful sanctions’ on any Church officials who fail to do so.” With the exception of a couple of staged PR events, the pope has refused to take any of these measures.

The Vatican had issued an “Initial Report” preparatory to the hearing. “Nowhere in the Holy See’s [the name of the Church’s global government] Initial Report under the Convention does it make any mention of the widespread and systemic rape and sexual violence committed by Catholic clergy

against hundreds of thousands of children and vulnerable adults around the world. There is no mention of acts that have resulted in an astonishing and incalculable amount of harm around the world – profound and lasting physical and mental suffering – with little to no accountability and access to redress …[T]he Vatican has consistently minimized the harm caused by the actions of the clergy, through both the direct acts of sexual violence and Church officials’ actions which follow, such as cover-ups and victim-blaming. … The Holy See’s Initial Report to this Committee is itself evidence of the minimization of these offenses and the resulting harm.

The Committee against Torture report came “after senior officials sought to distance the Vatican legally from the wider Church … saying priests were not legally tied to the Vatican but fell under national jurisdictions. But the committee insisted that officials of the Holy See – including the pope’s representatives around the world and their aides – have a responsibility to monitor the behavior of all under their ‘effective control.’”

The following faces and statement proves, Pope Francis, that you are just like the rest, when it comes time for standing up to the pedophiles, those who rape children, from your church. How you do not truly care one bit about the victims, but the defense and protection of your church and its pedophiles. As archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio “refused to meet with victims, and he stayed largely silent on the issue of clergy sex abuse, except to issue a surprising denial that he had ever handled an abusive priest. His only known action was to commission a behind-thescenes report to judges that sought exoneration of a criminally convicted priest by impugning the credibility of the priest’s victims.”

Then, one month to the day after you were elected Pope, you appointed a group of Cardinals, referred to as your C9, to be your closest advisors. And who are some of the members of your C9 advisors?

Cardinal George Pell: As archbishop and creator of the “Melbourne Response,” a system “designed to control the victims and protect the Church … Pell intended to minimize the crimes, conceal the truth, manipulate and intimidate the victims. … Some relatives of abused children have called the cardinal a ‘sociopath.’” Pell personally knows hundreds of the people involved – the victims and their families as

Cardinal George Pell

well as the abusers. … He was a very senior authority in the Catholic Church when the court cases began in the 1990s and the top Catholic figure in Australia until he went to Rome. … [H]e was the leader of a system that protected the guilty and failed innocent people. … [H]e was the man in charge during many years of this scandal. Therefore, he can be held accountable and responsible for it.”

Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa: Errazuriz had made national headlines for protecting Fr. Fernando Karadima, the “worst scandal” of the Chilean Church. “Power is the true point of the case. The [sexual abuses against children] were not possible without a network of political, social and religious power working for 50 years,” stated political analyst Ascanio Cavallo, Dean of the Journalism School of the Adolfo Ibáñez University. Church officials were warned as early as 1984 about Karadima’s “improper conduct.” The first known reports to reach Errazuriz were in 2003. In 2006, a priest appointed by Errázuriz to investigate the claims reported to the cardinal that he believed “the accusers to be credible.” According to court testimony in a 2011 civil complaint filed against Karadima, Church officials, including Errázuriz, tried to shame accusers into dropping claims, refused to meet with them

Cardinal Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa and failed to carry out formal investigations for years. A judge dismissed the criminal case against Karadima in November 2011 because the statute of limitations had expired but also determined that the allegations were “truthful and reliable.

And, when you Pope Francis appointed Errázuriz to your C9 advisors, one of the victims stated that this appointment “a shame and a disgrace.” On September 15, 2013, Errázuriz said that the archdiocese had no responsibility for their “tremendous pain.”

Yes, Pope Francis, again, we have from the mouths of one of your own advisors, one who covered up for pedophile priests, that you, your church has no responsibility for their “tremendous pain.” But, Pope Francis, who does then bear the responsibility for the tremendous pain and suffering, the unjust burdens and the horror the victims of rape committed against them by the priests of the Roman

Catholic Church? Is it the victims themselves? Because it sure seems like it when it comes to this Church of yours.

Then Pope Francis, when the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (CRC)requested of you, for “detailed information on all cases of child sexual abuse committed by members of the clergy, brothers or nun” for the past fifteen years and set November 1 as a deadline for a reply. The questions were sent as preparation for a public hearing scheduled for January. What did you say and do about this request?

First, a little background. As one of the signatories to the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Church was fifteen years late in delivering a report describing whether it had acted to “protect the child from all forms of physical or mental violence” as the convention requires. Additionally, the questionnaire sought to establish whether “perpetrators of sexual crimes” were allowed to remain in contact with children, what legal action was taken against them and whether reporting of suspected abuse was mandatory. It also included queries about support for victims, and any incidents where complainants were silenced.

And what was yours and the Vaticans response to this? You, Pope Francis and the Vatican warned that it might pull out of the Convention on the Rights of the Child if pushed too hard on the issue. In a report of its own posted on the UN website last October, the Holy See reminded the CRC of reservations on legal jurisdiction and other issues it made when it signed the global pact. It said any new “interpretation” would give it grounds “for terminating or withdrawing” from the treaty.

And then what did you do Pope Francis? On July 11, 2013, the pontiff enacted a civil law criminalizing leaks of Vatican information to the press and sexual violence against children, including child pornography. The crimes were punishable by up to eight and twelve years in prison, respectively. The law was applicable inside the Vatican City State and for employees of the Holy See in its extraterritorial properties including embassies.

How did you respond to the CRC request Pope Francis? On December 4 by your stating that it was not the practice of his government to “disclose information on specific cases unless requested to do so by another country as part of legal proceedings” and “that the Vatican can provide information only about known and alleged child sex crimes that have happened on Vatican property.”

Then Pope Francis, as an added slap to the faces of the victims, what did you do? On January 16, 2014, the day the CRC hearings were to begin in Geneva, you, Pope Francis again showed your contempt for your Church’s victims by celebrating mass, followed by a private meeting, with Cardinal Roger Mahony, archbishop emeritus of Los Angeles. The Washington Post (among others) had condemned Mahony for protecting known abusers, stating he’s “lucky not to be in prison” and that “his continued prominence reflects the culture of impunity in the Catholic Church a decade after its tolerance and complicity in the abuse of children was exposed.” After your private meeting with you, Mahony blogged “the topic of scandal never came up.”

The same day, Lombardi said the Church had developed “a series of initiatives and directives” that are “extremely helpful” to other communities. He also criticized the assumption that bishops or religious superiors act “as representatives or delegates of the Pope.” He said this belief is “utterly without foundation.” Rather, civil authorities in countries that have signed the

UN convention are directly responsible for its implementation and for the enforcement of laws that protect children.

The UN panel asked Vatican representatives for responses to the questions they had sent in July. While the American media trumpeted a statement made by one of the Vatican officials that he “gets it,” the foreign press was not as fawning:

Germany’s Deutsche Welle: Vatican response ‘fails smell test for ordinary people’

Venezuela’s El Nacional: The Vatican at the UN today dodged providing detailed information on issues relating to sexual abuse of minors by clergy in a rhetorical exercise in which it attempts to demonstrate determination to prevent new offenses

Spain’s El Pais: The Vatican still does not take responsibility for sexual abuse

BishopAccountability.org noted four significant moments of the hearing:

1. For the first time, the Vatican had to admit publicly that it still does not require the reportingof child sex crimes to civil authorities. Nor does it take this step when priests are defrocked.

2. The Holy See still refused to provide the data requested on July 1.

Fredrico Lombardi

3. The Vatican believes that it is the obligation of the individual perpetrator, not the Church, tocompensate victims.

4. Religious orders, which comprise one third to one half of the world’s Catholic clerics, still arenot being compelled by the Holy See to create abuse policies. (Pope Benedict XVI ordered the world’s bishops to do this in 2011. The order was widely ignored, even by the cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio.)

Then, Pope Francis, we now show how your Vatican, yourself and other mouthpieces for your church, played the look the other way game of subterfuge and deception. Of blaming others, and saying hey, look at what they are doing, why are you picking on us?

Vatican delegate to the UN, Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, responded in an interview: “At the same time we have to keep in mind that even though there are so many millions, forty million cases of abuse a year regarding children, unfortunately some cases affect also Church

(https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.files.wordpress.com/2015/09/archbishopsilvanotomasi.jpg) Archbishop Silvano Tomasi

personnel.” Tomasi also suggested that the UN committee may have been influenced by “Some NGOs that support homosexuality, same-sex marriage and other issues probably presented their own views and ended up reinforcing [the committee’s] line of thought in some way.”

And then you came out with this statement Pope Francis, KNOWING it was a lie, because your church has been anything BUT moving with transparency and responsibility. The only responsibility yourself, the Vatican and the Roman Catholic Church has far proven by your actions, is that you are to protect your church at all costs.

On March 5, 2014, you, Pope, stated that, as regards the sexual torture of children, “The statistics on the phenomenon of violence against children are shocking, but they also show clearly that the great majority of the abuses come from the family environment and from people who are close. The Catholic Church is perhaps the only public institution that moved with transparency and responsibility. No one else did as much. And yet,the Church is the only one being attacked.”

If your words Pope Francis and the rest were truth? Then such people like Cardinal Bernard Law, George Pell Timothy Dolan, Roger Mahony, Donald Wuerl and the others who covered up these crimes against children, who helped perpetuate these crimes against children, who protected the pedophiles over the children, would have been excommunicated and turned over to authorities for prosecution.

If your words Pope Francis were truth, then you would not have recalled Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski back to the Vatican, so he could be protected from the authorities in the Dominican Republic. You would have turned him over for prosecution for the crimes against children he committed there, instead of allowing him sovereign immunity by bringing him to the Vatican to be protected so.

If your words were truth, Pope Francis, then you would not have loaded your C9 advisory committee with known Pedophile Pimps, like George Pell and others, against whom, there is overwhelming evidence against them they participated in the cover ups of the rapes and abuses of children.

If your words were truth Pope Francis, then your church would NOT be denying victims of these crimes justice. Your church and the lawyers you buy would NOT be denying us victims justice by using the statute of limitations against us. Nor would they be fighting any changes to the statute of limitations, or the opening of a window for victims to come forward and seek justice for the crimes committed against us.

If your words were truth Pope Francis, you would NOT be allowing us victims, to be revictimized, by the attacks done against us.

Now tell me, could this be Pig Face Bill Donohue of the Catholic Leagues father or mother?

You would NOT be allowing Bill Donohue, of the Catholic League to attack us victims like he does, insulting us, denigrating us, defaming us. All the evil he has said against us victims, he is one who deserves excommunication. You, Pope Francis, would call Bill Donohue out, for his proclaiming how we victims are nothing but liars, gold diggers, out looking for a pay day from the church. For his comparing the horror, the terror, the pain and suffering of us victims, who were brutally raped, by

your priests, not only of our bodies, but of our souls, our minds and our hearts, to his being slapped on the wrist by a nun when he acted out.

For his lying about one victim, proclaiming him as part of a drug gang murder, and how the police department covered it up, when the victim in fact, testified in a drug murder, putting his life at great risk in doing so. And because of Bill Donohue actions and words, that victim now is in fear of his life, having received death threats, and other threats as well as being beaten for his standing up and doing the right thing in testifying in a drug gang murder. The victim is now suing Bill Donohue and the Catholic League for defamation and other civil actions and yet, YOU Pope Francis has not ever stepped in and put a stop to Bill Donohue and his attacks against the victims of priest rape.

If you were speaking the truth Pope Francis, then when The United Nations Committees on the Rights of the Child and on Torture, requested the Holy See to abolish the pontifical secret for allegations of child sexual abuse, and to order through canon law mandatory reporting to the civil authority. Then in September of 2014, YOU would not have rejected that request and told them you did so on the grounds that mandatory reporting would interfere with the sovereignty of independent States. Mandatory reporting would only interfere with such sovereignty if a State law prohibited reporting of clergy sex abuse of children to the police. No such State exists.

But the Vatican … illustrates its very real intention to interfere in the sovereignty of independent States by prohibiting reporting once canonical proceedings start, even when the civil law requires reporting. …

The de facto privilege of clergy by the use of secrecy, rendering clergy immune to civil prosecution for child sex abuse, was set up in 1922 by Pope Pius XI, and was continued and expanded by five of his successors. Regrettably, it seems that you, Pope Francis have given every indication of adding yourself to the list as the seventh pope.

If you were speaking the truth, Pope Francis, then you would not have appointed Juan Barros Madrid as Bishop of Osorno, Chile. Did you not get the hint, Pope Francis, that on the day that Barros was installed as Bishop, amid riot police, and hundreds of parishioners,dressed in the black of mourning denounced Barros, that they all knew what Barros had done and instead of supporting him, you should never have made him a Bishop?

If you are speaking truth Pope Francis then why did you ignore Archbishop Chomali? We know, in an interview published March 26, the Archbishop of Concepcion disclosed the details of a meeting he had with Pope Francis on March 6. “Archbishop Chomali explained that he gave Pope Francis a ‘document with detailed information on the consequences of the appointment he had made. All the documentation that I cited came to him, whether through the nunciature or the Chilean embassy to the Holy See. He was very much up to date on Bishop Barros’ situation, and in fact a few days prior he had spoken with him. With firmness and much conviction he told me that he had analyzed all the past records and that there was no objective reason that Bishop Barros should not be installed as diocesan bishop.’”

No, Pope Francis, you do not speak the truth, for your actions speak much louder than words do. You talk a good PR talk, but your other words and actions do not match with the PR propaganda you are putting out. Yes, Pope Francis, I am in fact, calling you a two-faced, liar and charlatan. I speak the truth when I say this. Something you and the rest of your Pedophile Pimps, cannot even begin to do.

Bishop Juan Barros

You, Pope Francis, disgust me along with all of your Pedophile Pimp Popes, Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops. For you are just like them all, you are a degenerate in my book, you are just as responsible for the rapes, tortures, enslavement, abuses, and other crimes against children, as all the rest. You, Pope Francis, are NO Holy Man of God, nor are YOU a representative of Jesus Christ on earth. You are as sick and twisted, as much a pervert, as much a criminal as all the rest of your fellow Pedophile Pimps.

You, Pope Francis are one of the lowest forms of life on the planet. Even the contents of a well used outhouse has more use than you do, and deserves a lot more respect to boot. You protect your cult of Pedophiles and Pedophile Pimps, just like the rest of them.

You are no holy man of God, you, along with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, or the following Cardinals: Adam Maida, Agostino Vallini, Angelo Scola, Angelo Sodano, Anthony Bevilacqua, Bernard Law, Dominik Duka, Donald Wuerl, Franc Rode, Francis George, Francisco Javier Errazurtz Ossa, George Pell, Humberto Mederios, John Cody, John Krol, Joseph Bernardin, Juan Cipriani, Justin Rigali, Keith O’Brien, Leonardo Sandri, Marc Ouellet, Norberto Rivera, Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga, Partick O’Malley, Peter Turkson, Raymond Burke, Richard Cushing, Roger Mahony, Sean Brady, Silvio Oddi, Tarcisio Bertone, Thomas Winning, Timothy Dolan, Vinko Puljic, Wilfred Fox Napier, William Levada, Hans Hermann Groer, Dario Castrillon Hoyos, Francis Spellman, Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa, Ricardo Ezzati Andrello, Luis Antonio Tagle, Eduardo Martínez Somalo, Desmond Connell and many others; the Archbishops: Andre Richard, Anthony Sablan, Charles J Chaput, Denis Hart, Diarmuid Martin, Ernest Leger, Frank Little, Gerhard Ludwig Muller, Harry Flynn, Jerome Hanus, Jerome Listecki, John Charles McQuaid, John Clay Neinstedt, John Meyers, John Roach, Jose Horacio Gomez, Josef Wesolowski, Luciano Storero, Mario Conti, Peter Gerety, Peter Sartain, Pio Laghi, Rembert Weakland, Ricardo Ezzati Andrello, Robert Carlson, Silvano Tomasi, Theodore McCarrick, Valery Vienneau, William Cousins, Urban J.

Cronin, and many, many others. You all stand guilty of Crimes Against Humanity and the Children of the World.

You, Pope Francis, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, all of your above named Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops, stand guilty, before your God and Jesus Christ, whom you proclaim to follow, to be representatives of on this Earth, through your Roman Catholic Church, of heinous crimes against children throughout the world.

You, Pope Francis ask us to forgive you. Why should we? Why should anyone forgive you, or your church and what you all have done to us?

NONE OF YOU HAVE TRULY REPENTED FOR ALL THE CRIMES AND EVILS YOU AND YOUR CHURCH HAS DONE AGAINST US!!!!THEREFOR, NEITHER CAN WE, NOR EVEN YOUR OWN GOD AND JESUS CHRIST FORGIVE YOU, UNLESS YOU TRULY AND HONESTLY REPENT OF ALL OF THIS EVIL YOU HAVE DONE TO CHILDREN, THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO THEM. TO BE FORGIVEN YOU MUST ALL TRULY REPENT, SEEING YOU HAVE NOT DONE THAT, THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK ANYONE FOR FORGIVENESS…..NOT US VICTIMS WHO WENT THROUGH THIS HORROR, NOR YOUR GOD AND JESUS IN WHICH YOU ALL PROCLAIM TO BE REPRESENTATIVES OF!!!

Pope Francis, the one YOU proclaim to represent upon earth, as the Vicar of Christ, then his words apply much more to you and the rest of your Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops, even more than it applies to the rest of us. For YOU are supposed to be holy men of god, and the leaders of what you proclaim the one true church of Jesus Christ.

Well the one YOU proclaim to represent, Pope Francis, Jesus said in the bible, the book YOU all proclaim to be the true word of the true God, the following: Mark 9:42: 42″Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea. And in Luke 17: 1-2: 1He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! 2″It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble.

It looks like, Pope Francis, that you and the rest of your Pedophile Pimps ought to invest in a company that makes strong, sturdy rope and does a lot of millstones. For if I were you? I would start tying ropes

around your neck and attaching it to millstones and find a great portion of the sea to toss your bodies into. That has to be a whole lot better than having to deal with the ones you proclaim to represent, Jesus Christ is going to do to your souls once you get before him in my opinion.

In closing Pope Francis, because we who were raped, tortured, brutalized, enslaved, and destroyed by your church and its pedophiles and abusers, have the guts to stand up and speak out against all the crimes committed against us and demand justice, we are branded as bigots, haters, and even worse. We are told time and time again, because we dare speak out, that we are all bound for hell. That because we DARE insult you all, that we do not hold any respect for ones such as yourselves, that we are the ones who deserve to burn in hell.

Many of us have already done our time in hell though Pope Francis. Our pains and sufferings, our nightmares, our horrors have sent us into hell and quite a few of us have come out on the other side of it, much stronger, than the victims we once were. We are now STRONG SURVIVORS.

Though some of us did not make it, our pain and suffering and horror and the continued treatment of evil against us by your Roman Catholic Church, caused some of them to blow their brains out, or hang themselves, or commit suicide in other ways.

And some are still hiding in the shadows, too afraid to come out and speak, about the crimes committed against them, by the priests, brothers, nuns and sisters and all the others of your church. Who are still silent, because they fear you still, they fear their rapists and the mind tortures they were put through by them while they were being raped and brutalized, realize this Pope Francis!!!

We the strong survivors are MANY. We do NOT fear you, nor your church, nor your Cardinals, Bishops and Archbishops. We do not fear the pew polishers, who insult and denigrate and threaten us. We do not fear Bill Donohue of the Catholic League or anyone else who attacks us.

We will stand and speak out, we will hold you all to your crimes. We will speak out and expose them where ever we go and whenever we are called upon to do so. We will stand up for those victims, who are as yet, still too afraid to speak out. We will defend them, and ourselves, against you, your other leaders and all who attack us and defend your church for all of the crimes committed against us. We WILL continue to demand justice. We WILL continue to demand the arrest and prosecution of each and every one of you who covered up these crimes against us, who protected and defended the pedophiles, the abusers of us, and we WILL win against you all. You may not think so, you may think that the Roman Catholic Church is untouchable, that no one can make you all pay for your Crimes Against Humanity and the Children of the World.

In a sense, you might be right, that no justice system will be able to make you pay for your crimes, but that is in fact changing and I believe that soon the United Nations will have their say and you will be prosecuted by them.

But then, one day, you will have to stand before the ULTIMATE JUDGE, the ones you all proclaim to follow and represent on this plane of existence. And I think when you do? You will surely wish you HAD tied a huge millstone around your neck and thrown yourselves into the deepest of seas, compared to the punishments YOU will be facing before the Judge you call God and Jesus Christ.

I believe, they will show you more mercy, by sending you straight to the 9th Level of Dante Inferno, than all of you have to us, the survivors of your evil, criminal cult of Pedophile Pimps, Pedophile Priests, Abusive Nuns and all the Parishioner Pew Polishers of your Roman Catholic Church.

La lettera di una vittima di abuso al sacerdote Papa Francesco in Italiano

Note an English Version of this Letter to Pope Francis shall be published in a blog right after this one.

Hey Papa Francesco, come ci si sente di annunciare da soli il rappresentante di Gesù e di Dio, mentre la protezione di tutti i pedofili Pimp i Cardinali, gli Arcivescovi, i vescovi e arcivescovi coperta gli stupri di massa e gli abusi dei bambini? Pensi che quello che affermano di rappresentare, Gesù non sarebbe la stessa cosa? Pensi che il Papa Francesco che Gesù ha voluto difendere e proteggere e difendere chi ha fatto questo? Pensi che Gesù li chiamerà Santo?

(https://rapevictimsofthecatholicchurch.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/pope-francis.jpg)

Yeah Pope Francis sure does love his pedophiles.

Il Catechismo della Chiesa Cattolica Romana parla di stupro come segue: PARTE TERZA: LA VITA IN CRISTO; PARTE SECONDA: I DIECI COMANDAMENTI, CAPITOLO DUE: “AMERAI IL PROSSIMO TUO COME TE STESSO”, ALL’ARTICOLO 6, IL SESTO

COMANDAMENTO, i reati contro la castità: 2356 Lo stupro è forzato violazione dell’intimità sessuale di una persona. Non lesioni alla giustizia e alla carità. Stupro ferisce profondamente il rispetto, la libertà e l’integrità fisica e morale di ogni persona ha il diritto.

Credi che il Papa Francesco, che gli stupri e torture di centinaia di migliaia di bambini in tutto il mondo, perpetrati su di loro con la propria dei sacerdoti della Chiesa Cattolica Romana, è in conformità con i dettami del proprio Catechismo, o le parole del vostro Gesù?

Credi che il Papa Francesco, che tutti i bambini e gli adolescenti, che sono state violentate, torturate, ridotto in schiavitù, brutalizzata, utilizzato come esperimenti medici e sterilizzazione forzata, in istituzioni cattoliche, come la Maddalena e Buon Pastore lavanderie industriali, case come Venezia e Bindoon, le donne”s;s e Bambinio’s Case come Taum e la prima nazione industriale nelle scuole, in linea con i dettami del catechismo e Gesù Cristo?

Lei ci aveva chiesto di non troppo tempo fa per accettare le scuse e perdonare voi e la vostra chiesa per quello che è stato fatto per noi. Ma come si pu perdonare voi e la vostra chiesa? Per essere perdonato, secondo la bibbia e gli insegnamenti, è necessario pentirsi di tutti i vostri peccati e crimini. Tuttavia, come pure quelli di noi che sono state violentate e le nostre anime rubato da noi e che si sono suicidati a causa di esso, pu dare a lui il perdono, o qualcuno di noi danneggiati, quando si rifiuta di pulire la casa di tutti i Cardinali, i Vescovi e Arcivescovi Metropoliti che coperto questi male crimini, ancora seduto nelle posizioni che sono?

Come Paul Anthony Carson, che dopo aver visto il sacerdote che lo stupro camminare per la strada e poi tornare a casa e appendere stesso, essendo trovato dai suoi genitori, perdonare?

Come Emma Foster, che è stata violentata da Padre Kevin O’Donnell, mentre in una scuola primaria che si sono suicidati perché, perdonare?

Come Daniel Neill, che si sono suicidati a causa del suo stupratore sacerdote, Joseph Gallagher, perdonare?

Come possono i 30 ragazzi violentata nel corso della scuola primaria Sant’Alipio, che si è suicidato lo perdono per i loro stupri?

Come Lou Pirona, Bill Zeller, David M. Jarobe Jr,Kathleen McGonigle, Eric Patterson, Bobby Thompson, Paul Tafolla, Daniel Romney, Gilbert Rodriguez, Eduardo Ramon Boehland, O coloro che per il campanello è suonato 170 volte nella Chiesa del Salvatore sul Wilshire Boulevard, che si sono suicidati negli Stati Uniti, o una qualsiasi delle altre vittime, in tutto il mondo, Che sono state violentate, torturate, brutalizzata dai vostri sacerdoti, religiosi, monache e suore della vostra chiesa, che si è suicidato, perdonare e la vostra chiesa Papa Francesco?

Essi non sono morti, di marciume nelle loro tombe, perché non solo i loro stupri da parte dei sacerdoti e fratelli, della Chiesa Cattolica Romana, ma a causa dei continui attacchi contro di noi le vittime e i superstiti, per la vostra Chiesa, il Cardinali, Vescovi e Arcivescovi, da tali persone dementi come Bill Donohue della Lega Cattolica, E da quelli che siedono nei banchi della Chiesa. Siamo stati bollati come bugiardi, cercatori d’oro in cerca di una paga da la vostra chiesa. Ci è stato detto per non sentire il nostro stupratore di fronte, mentre ci sono stupri, ci significa che non solo ha voluto essere violentate, per noi è stato un piacere essere violentate e sono gli omosessuali a causa di esso. O che abbiamo conquistato il nostro stupratore. O come uno dei vostri sacerdoti, Padre Richard Ross che ha detto di avere alcuna simpatia per qualsiasi vittima, che non potevano fermare ci che stava succedendo, e come vorrebbe prendere le vittime in una stanza e batterli con una mazza da baseball per mostrare loro che cosa vero dolore e sofferenza.

Perché noi, o chiunque perdoni Papa Francesco e la chiesa? Perché dovremmo o chiunque perdona tutti i Cardinali, come Timothy Dolan, Donald Wuerl, George Pell, Roger Mahony, Raymond Burke, Bernard Law, O di Arcivescovi e Vescovi, che hanno coperto e protetto questi degenerare gli stupratori, i torturatori e i violentatori di bambini, che li di parrocchia in parrocchia, attraverso le linee statali e internazionali, per evitare di essere scoperti, arrestare e perseguire penalmente?

Come possiamo noi, o perché perdonare tutti, quando si usa la vostra Chiesa gli avvocati, per la lotta contro noi in tutte le fasi del progetto e negare la nostra giustizia, con lo statuto delle limitazioni per il nostro caso respinto quando cerchiamo giustizia per il male i crimini commessi contro di noi, dai vostri sacerdoti e gli altri della Chiesa Cattolica Romana? O i Cardinali, gli Arcivescovi e Vescovi, con i cattolici

romani in questa legislatura, di lotta dente e chiodo qualsiasi modifica dello statuto delle limitazioni, o l’apertura di una finestra per le vittime a farsi avanti e chiedere giustizia?

Il Cardinale Timothy Dolan, ha mostrato a noi come la chiesa sente davvero verso di noi, soprattutto quando si cercano giustizia per i crimini commessi contro di noi, la vostra chiesa. Quando New York ha superato il matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso, il Cardinale Dolan grid come si sentiva tradito dallo Stato di New York per farlo. Eppure, nello stesso spirito, egli grid e disse quanto segue sopra New York vuole cambiare la durata DI UN ANNO di prescrizione contro lo stupro e abusi: Ha dichiarato che ha voluto un anno di prescrizione contro lo stupro a essere mantenuta perché se la chiesa ha citato, “gli autori non soffrono. Non vi è alcun onere. Che cosa soffre sono i servizi e i ministeri dell’apostolato che stiamo facendo ora. Perché dove i soldi? Perci i vescovi di 30 anni fa che presumibilmente pu essere riassegnato i tossicodipendenti, non soffre. Sono morti. Per questo motivo, le persone che soffrono sono coloro che vengono serviti proprio ora dalla chiesa. Riteniamo che un terribilmente ingiusto onere.”

Notare che Papa Francesco? Leggere le sue parole e metta al posto delle vittime. Non una parola sui nostri oneri ingiusti, non una parola sul nostro dolore e della sofferenza. Non una parola circa il male degli orrori che abbiamo dovuto subire a causa della nostra vita, orrori che hanno provocato molti di noi, il suicidio.

E il Cardinale Dolan ha mentito nella sua dichiarazione. La maggior parte di queste Cardinali, Vescovi e Arcivescovi che hanno coperto i crimini contro i bambini, non sono morti, sono ancora vivo, protetto e difeso a tutti i costi la vostra chiesa. Il Cardinale Bernard Law, George Pell, Timothy Dolan, Roger Mahony, Donald Wuerl, e molti altri, sono in realtà ancora viva. Tutti loro hanno partecipato a queste imprese, che hanno partecipato al movimento pericoloso preti pedofili, per evitare il rilevamento e l’arresto per i loro crimini contro noi.

Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, è colpevole di questi stessi crimini. In relazione all’arcivescovo Jozef Wesolowski e altri. Si, il Santo Padre Francesco, era al corrente di ci che l Arcivescovo Wesolowski aveva fatto per i bambini nella Repubblica Dominicana. Si sapeva che era a pagamento i bambini di strada di avere rapporti sessuali con lui, e di immagini pornografiche. Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, aveva portato in Vaticano a Roma, sapendo che una volta che avete fatto? E’ stato poi protetto sotto l’immunità sovrana del Concilio Vaticano ii, che in tal modo si evita che il suo arresto e la persecuzione penale di lui da parte dei funzionari della Repubblica Dominicana.

Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, sapeva che non era un pericolo per i bambini e gli altri, ma voi non lo mise in una cella nella prigione quando si aveva richiamato in Vaticano.E mentre Wesolowski aveva la sua libertà, per oltre un anno e mezzo, ha continuato i suoi crimini contro i bambini. Ha continuato a pagare i bambini per il sesso, ha continuato a prendere immagini pornografiche e video dei suoi atti criminali contro i bambini, ed è stato dimostrato che alcuni di questi bambini muore una morte orribile a causa di esso.

UN dossier accusa Wesolowski di abuso sessuale dei minori è stato inviato al Santo Padre Francesco “nel mese di luglio” 2013 Santo Domingo il Cardinale Nicolás de Jesús López Rodríguez. Il papa ha trovato le informazioni sufficientemente credibile per chiudere Wesolowski il 21 Agosto tramite lettera riservata. Ma il papa non ha mai riportato Wesolowski alle autorità civili né reso pubbliche le informazioni.

Tutti i prelati devono rendere credibili le accuse pubblico come un avvertimento per evitare il contatto con gli imputati. Inoltre, tutte le altre vittime dovrebbero essere incoraggiati a contattare un’autorità di perseguimento penale forse che l’inchiesta più semplice, di apprensione e di repressione più certe. Il gruppo, rete dei sopravvissuti di tali abusi di sacerdoti (SNAP), definisce l’inosservanza di tali provvedimenti come un “cover up”.

Wesolowski lasciato il paese di fronte a una TV locale programma trasmesso un documentario sul 31 agosto. È stato riportato nel gennaio 2014 che Wesolowski “è ora in grado di vivere a Roma ed è protetto da estradizione dall immunità diplomatica.” “Per me è stata una sorpresa vedere Wesolowski a piedi lungo Via della Scrofa a Roma, “Santo Domingo Vescovo Ausiliare Víctor Masalles twitter il 24 giugno 2014.

Imbarazzato, il Concilio Vaticano ii ha annunciato il 27 giugno che era stato Wesolowski laicized (spretato) “negli ultimi giorni … misure saranno adottate in modo egli è in una precisa posizione limitata, senza alcuna libertà di movimento,” ha detto portavoce vaticano, p. Federico Lombardi, senza specificare in che modo questo possa essere realizzato. La stampa ha riportato questo come prova del papa’s “tolleranza zero” per lo sfruttamento sessuale dei bambini.

22 Novembre 2014: Wesolowski era visto “camminare tranquillamente all’interno della Città del Vaticano…in apparente libertà” e si presume che vi vivono ancora agli arresti domiciliari. Questo ci dimostra che p. Federico Lombardi ha mentito, come di consueto con la Chiesa Cattolica Romana per quanto riguarda i pedofili

Defrocking significa un chierico è cotta senza essere denunciato alla polizia. La sanzione più grave a disposizione del papa scomunica. Papa Francesco scomunica un sacerdote australiano per sostenere le donne del coordinamento e matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso. Anche lui scomunicato i leader del gruppo di laici, siamo Chiesa, per celebrare la messa nella loro casa.

Ma, avete escludessimo arcivescovo Jozef Wesolowski, Papa Francesco? No ma non l’ha fatto. È evidente a noi vittime dei crimini della vostra chiesa contro di noi, che troverà un sacerdote dicendo: “le donne dovrebbero essere coordinati tra loro, e chi sostiene matrimonio tra persone dello stesso sesso, o un gruppo di laici di massa nelle loro case, più degni di scomunica, di un pedofilo, che ha pagato i bambini per il sesso, violentate, o posseduto oltre 100.000 bambini immagini pornografiche e video di bambini porno sul proprio computer.

Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, si è rivelato a noi, le vittime e per chi lotta per noi, che si sono appena come il resto. Di proteggere e difendere chi lo stupro dei bambini, invece di stare in piedi per loro, invece di stare in piedi per le vittime. Di proteggere e difendere i pedofili, e il pedofilo, come Papa Emerito Bendict XVI, i Cardinali, gli Arcivescovi e Vescovi che hanno coperto i crimini, ed è come al solito su questo argomento

Il Comitato dell’ONU contro la Tortura “trovato che il gran numero di violenze sessuali all’interno della Chiesa Cattolica sono ammontate a torture e trattamenti crudeli, inumani e degradanti”. Dopo che alcuni funzionari del Vaticano furono chiamati a Ginevra nel maggio 2014. per rispondere a domande difficili come per questo che il papa ritiene che la sua responsabilità per proteggere i bambini contro la tortura applicata solo sul Concilio Vaticano ii, la commissione ha presentato la sua relazione.

I membri “ha ordinato il Vaticano a mano sul file contenente i dettagli di commesso abuso sessuale accuse alle forze di polizia intorno al mondo, … di utilizzare la sua autorità sulla Chiesa Cattolica Romana nel mondo al fine di garantire che tutte le accuse di abusi clericali sono passati alla autorità laiche e di imporre sanzioni “significativa” su qualsiasi i funzionari della Chiesa che non è in grado di farlo.” Con l’eccezione di un paio di in scena eventi PR, il papa ha rifiutato di prendere una qualsiasi di queste misure.

Il Vaticano aveva pubblicato un “Rapporto Preliminare” preparatori per l’audizione. “In nessuna parte della Santa Sede [il nome della Chiesa il governo globale] Relazione Iniziale ai sensi della Convenzione non si fa alcuna menzione della diffusa e sistemica stupri e violenze sessuali perpetrate dal clero Cattolico contro centinaia di migliaia di bambini e adulti vulnerabili nel mondo. Non si parla di atti che hanno portato ad un sorprendente e quantità incalcolabile di danni nel mondo – profonda e duratura sofferenza fisica e mentale – con poca o nessuna responsabilità e l’accesso al ricorso …[T] Concilio Vaticano ii ha sempre minimizzato i danni causati dalle azioni del clero, sia attraverso la diretta sugli atti di violenza sessuale ed i funzionari della Chiesa” le azioni che seguono, come cover-up e vittima di colpa. … La Santa Sede la relazione iniziale di questo comitato è di per sé la prova di minimizzazione di questi reati e i danni.

Il Comitato contro la Tortura relazione è venuto “dopo gli alti funzionari hanno cercato di distanza del Vaticano legalmente dalla grande Chiesa … dicendo: “i sacerdoti non erano legalmente legata al Vaticano ma cadde sotto giurisdizioni nazionali. Ma il comitato insiste sul fatto che i dipendenti della Santa Sede, tra cui rappresentanti del papa nel mondo e i loro collaboratori, hanno la responsabilità di monitorare il comportamento di tutti sotto il loro controllo effettivo”.

Le seguenti facce e dichiarazione risulta, Papa Francesco, che si sono appena come il resto, quando giunge il momento di alzarsi per i pedofili, chi lo stupro dei bambini, dalla chiesa. Come non si prende veramente cura un bit circa le vittime, ma la difesa e la protezione della vostra chiesa e la pedofilia.

Come arcivescovo di Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio “rifiutato di incontrarsi con le vittime, e ha trascorso gran parte di silenzio sulla questione del clero abusi sessuali, ad eccezione di un sorprendente negazione che aveva affrontato un abusivo sacerdote. La sua azione era noto solo alla commissione un dietro le quinte relazione ai giudici che cercavano esonero di penalmente condannato sacerdote dal contesto la credibilità del sacerdote’s vittime.”

Poi, un mese e il giorno dopo che si era eletto Papa, è stato nominato un gruppo di Cardinali, di cui come arrivati C9, per essere il vostro consiglieri più vicini. E chi sono i membri del C9 consulenti?

Il Cardinale George Pell, arcivescovo e creatore del “Melbourne Risposta”, un sistema “progettato per controllare le vittime e proteggere la Chiesa … Pell destinati a ridurre al minimo i crimini, nascondere la verità, manipolare e a intimidire le vittime. … Alcuni parenti dei bambini maltrattati hanno chiesto al cardinale di una “mente psicopatica.” Pell conosce personalmente centinaia di persone coinvolte – le vittime e le loro famiglie, nonché gli autori. … Era un autorità ad alto livello nella Chiesa Cattolica quando la corte ha iniziato negli anni 1990 e le prime Cattolica figura in Australia fino a quando entrava a Roma. … [H]e è stato il leader di un sistema che tutela i reo e non innocenti. … [H]e l’uomo fu in carica nel corso di molti anni di questo scandalo. Egli, pertanto, pu essere ritenuto responsabile e responsabile.”

Il Cardinale Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa: Errazuriz nazionale aveva fatto notizia per proteggere p. Fernando Karadima, la “peggior scandalo” della Chiesa cilena. “Power è il vero punto del caso. [Degli abusi sessuali contro i bambini] non sono possibili senza una rete di politici, sociali e religiosi potenza operante per 50 anni”, ha dichiarato analista politico Ascanio Cavallo, preside della scuola di giornalismo dell’Università Adolfo Ibáñez. I funzionari della Chiesa avevano avvertito già nel 1984 circa Karadima “comportamenti scorretti.” Il primo noto per raggiungere Errazuriz erano nel 2003. Nel 2006, un sacerdote nominato dalla Errázuriz allo scopo di studiare i reclami segnalati al cardinale che egli credeva “gli accusatori a essere credibile. Secondo la corte testimonianza civile nel 2011 in una denuncia presentata contro Karadima, i funzionari della Chiesa, tra cui Errázuriz, ha cercato di vergogna accusatori in caduta rivendicazioni, rifiutato di incontrarsi con loro e non è riuscito a effettuare indagini formali per anni. UN giudice ha respinto la causa penale contro Karadima nel novembre 2011. perché lo statuto delle limitazioni erano scaduti ma anche determinato che le accuse erano “veritiero e affidabile.

E quando Papa Francesco nominato Errázuriz al C9 consulenti, una delle vittime ha dichiarato che questo appuntamento: “un peccato e una vergogna.” Il 15 settembre 2013, Errázuriz detto che l’arcidiocesi non aveva la competenza per la loro “grande dolore”

Sì, il Santo Padre Francesco, ancora una volta, non abbiamo dalla bocca di uno dei propri consulenti, che coperto di preti pedofili, che la vostra chiesa non ha alcuna responsabilità per la loro enorme

dolore.” Ma, Papa Francesco, che è poi la responsabilità per l’enorme dolore e sofferenza, di oneri ingiusti e l’orrore le vittime di stupri commessi contro di loro dai sacerdoti della Chiesa Cattolica Romana? È che le stesse vittime? Perché sembra che quando si tratta di questa vostra chiesa. Quindi Papa Francesco, quando il Comitato delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti del fanciullo (CRC)richiesto, per informazioni dettagliate su tutti i casi di abusi sessuali su bambini commessi da membri del clero, religiosi o nun” per gli ultimi quindici anni e 1 novembre come un termine per la risposta. Le domande sono state inviate per la preparazione di un audizione pubblica prevista per il mese di gennaio. Che cosa dire e fare di questa richiesta?

Primo, un po’ di storia. Come uno dei firmatari della Convenzione sui Diritti del Bambino del 1989, la Chiesa è stata quindici anni di ritardo nella consegna di un report che descrive se avesse agito per “proteggere il fanciullo contro ogni forma di violenza fisica o psichica” come la convenzione richiede. Inoltre, il questionario ha cercato di stabilire se “gli autori dei reati a sfondo sessuale” è stato permesso di rimanere in contatto con i bambini, che un’azione legale contro di loro e se segnalazione di presunto abuso è obbligatoria. Esso ha anche incluso le query di sostegno per le vittime e gli incidenti in cui i ricorrenti erano stati ridotti al silenzio.

E qual è stata la tua risposta e il Sant’Uffizio per questo? Lei, Santo Padre Francesco e il Vaticano warnedthat potrebbe tirare fuori della Convenzione sui Diritti del Bambino, se spinto troppo duro sulla questione. In una relazione del proprio pubblicato sul sito web DELLE NAZIONI UNITE lo scorso ottobre, la Santa Sede ha ricordato il CRC delle riserve sulla giurisdizione legale e altre questioni, in quando ha firmato il patto globale. Ha detto i nuovi “interpretazione” dare motivi “per la cessazione o revoca” dal trattato.

E poi che cosa ha fatto Papa Francesco? Il 11 luglio 2013, il pontefice ha emanato una legge civile criminalizzare le perdite del Vaticano informazioni per la stampa e la violenza sessuale contro i bambini, compresa la pornografia infantile. I crimini sono punibili con un massimo di otto e dodici anni di carcere, rispettivamente. La legge applicabile all’interno dello Stato della Città del Vaticano e per i dipendenti della Santa Sede nella sua proprietà extraterritoriale e ambasciate.

Come hai fatto a rispondere al CRC Papa Francesco? Il 4 dicembre, il che indica che non è stata la pratica del suo governo di “fornire informazioni in merito ai casi specifici a meno che non venga richiesto da un altro paese come parte di un’azione legale” e “che il Vaticano pu fornire informazioni solo sulle note e sui presunti crimini sessuali che hanno avvenuto in Vaticano.”

Quindi Papa Francesco, come un affronto alle facce delle vittime, che cosa ha fatto? Il 16 gennaio 2014, giorno in cui il CRC delle audizioni sono state per iniziare a Ginevra, Papa Francesco ha dimostrato ancora il disprezzo per le vittime della vostra Chiesa per celebrare la messa, seguita da un incontro privato, con il Cardinale Roger Mahony, arcivescovo emerito di Los Angeles. Il Washington Post (tra gli altri) aveva condannato Mahony noto per proteggere i tossicodipendenti, affermando che

egli’s “fortunato a non essere in prigione” e che “il suo costante rilievo riflette la cultura dell’impunità nella Chiesa Cattolica un decennio dopo la sua tolleranza e la complicità della violenza contro i minori è stato esposto. “Dopo il colloquio privato con lei, Mahony blog “il tema dello scandalo non è venuto.”

Lo stesso giorno, Lombardi ha detto che la Chiesa ha sviluppato “una serie di iniziative e direttive”, che sono “molto utili” con le altre comunità. Egli ha anche criticato l’ipotesi che i vescovi o i superiori dei religiosi e delle religiose agire come rappresentanti o delegati del Papa.” Egli ha detto questa credenza è “assolutamente priva di fondamento.” Invece, le autorità civili dei paesi che hanno firmato la convenzione DELLE NAZIONI UNITE è direttamente responsabile della sua attuazione e per l’esecuzione delle leggi che tutelano i bambini.

Il panel ONU Vaticano ha chiesto ai rappresentanti di risposte alle domande che essi avevano inviato in luglio. Mentre i media americani sbandierano una dichiarazione fatta da uno dei funzionari del Vaticano che egli “viene”, la stampa estera non era troppo servile: Germania Deutsche Welle: Vaticano risposta ;non odore test per la gente comune; Venezuela, El Nacional: il Vaticano all’ONU oggi eluso con informazioni dettagliate su questioni relative all’abuso sessuale di minori da parte del clero in un esercizio retorico che tenta di dimostrare di avere la determinazione di impedire nuovi reati

Spagna, El Pais: il Vaticano ancora non si assume nessuna responsabilità per gli abusi sessuali

4. BishopAccountability.org notato quattro momenti significativi dell’audizione:

1. Per la prima volta, il Concilio Vaticano ii ha dovuto ammettere pubblicamente che ancoranon prevedono l’indicazione di crimini sessuali alle autorità civili. Non fare questo passo quando i sacerdoti sono spretato.

2. La Santa Sede ha rifiutato di fornire i dati richiesti il 1º luglio.

3. Il Vaticano ritiene che l’obbligo del singolo autore e non la Chiesa, per risarcire le vittime4. Gli ordini religiosi, che comprendono un terzo a metà del mondo&# 039 ;s Catholic chierici, ancora non sono costretti dalla Santa Sede a creare politiche abuso. (Papa Benedetto XVI ha ordinato i vescovi del mondo per farlo a partire dal 2011. L’ordine è stato ampiamente ignorato, anche dal cardinale arcivescovo di Buenos Aires, Jorge Mario Bergoglio.)

Quindi, il Santo Padre Francesco, ora mostrano come il Vaticano, te stesso e per gli altri bocchini per la vostra chiesa, ha svolto il guardare da un’altra parte gioco di sotterfugi e inganni. Di biasimare gli altri, dicendo: “ehi, guarda che cosa stanno facendo, perché con noi?

Delegato Vaticano alle NAZIONI UNITE, Arcivescovo Silvano Tomasi, ha risposto in un’intervista “Allo stesso tempo dobbiamo tenere in mente che anche se ci sono tanti milioni, quaranta milioni di casi di abuso di un anno per quanto riguarda i bambini, purtroppo in alcuni casi riguardano anche il personale.” Tomasi ha inoltre suggerito che il comitato DELLE NAZIONI UNITE potrebbe essere stato influenzato da “alcune ONG che supportano l’omosessualità, matrimonio tra omosessuali e altre

questioni probabilmente ha presentato le proprie opinioni e rinforzo alla fine [il comitato] linea di pensiero in qualche modo.”

E poi è venuto fuori con questa dichiarazione Papa Francesco, sapendo che era una menzogna, perché la chiesa è stata tutt’altro che si muove con trasparenza e responsabilità. Il solo organizzativa, il Concilio Vaticano ii e la Chiesa Cattolica Romana ha dimostrato con le vostre azioni, è che si sta per proteggere la vostra chiesa a tutti i costi.

Il 5 marzo, nel 2014, il Papa, ha affermato che, per quanto riguarda la tortura sessuale dei bambini, “Le statistiche sul fenomeno della violenza contro i bambini sono sconvolgenti, ma anche dimostrano chiaramente che la grande maggioranza degli abusi provengono dal proprio ambiente familiare e da persone che sono vicino. La Chiesa Cattolica è forse l’unico ente pubblico che si muove con trasparenza e responsabilità. Nessun altro ha fatto di più. E ancora, la Chiesa è l’unico essere attaccati”.

Se le parole del Santo Padre Francesco e il resto erano verità? Quindi queste persone come il Cardinale Bernard Law, George Pell Timothy Dolan, Roger Mahony, Donald Wuerl e agli altri che lo hanno coperto questi crimini contro i bambini, che hanno contribuito a perpetuare questi crimini contro i bambini, che hanno protetto i pedofili sui figli, sarebbe stato scomunicato e alle autorità di perseguimento penale.

Se le parole del Santo Padre Francesco erano verità, quindi non vi ha ricordato l’arcivescovo Jozef Wesolowski nuovamente in Vaticano, in modo che egli potesse essere protetta da parte delle autorità della Repubblica Dominicana. Si avrebbe girato su di lui per la repressione dei crimini contro i bambini che ha commesso, invece di permettere che lui immunità sovrana per portarlo al Vaticano per essere protetti.

Se le tue parole sono verità, il Santo Padre Francesco, quindi non sarebbe possibile avere caricato il vostro C9 comitato consultivo con pedofili noti magnaccia, come George Pell e altri, contro il quale, non ci sono prove schiaccianti contro di loro hanno partecipato alla copertura di stupri e gli abusi di bambini.

Se le tue parole sono verità Papa Francesco, quindi la chiesa NON sarebbe negare alle vittime di questi crimini giustizia. La chiesa e gli avvocati di acquistare NON sarebbe ci nega le vittime giustizia utilizzando i termini di prescrizione contro di noi. Né contro qualsiasi modifica dello statuto delle limitazioni, o l’apertura di una finestra per le vittime a farsi avanti e chiedere giustizia per i crimini commessi contro di noi.

Se le tue parole sono verità Papa Francesco, non si sarà in grado di garantire che le vittime, di essere vittime, dagli attacchi fatto contro di noi.

NON sarebbe possibile che Bill Donohue, della Catholic League di attaccare noi vittime come lui, ci offende, demonizzare, diffamare. Tutto il male che ha detto contro di noi vittime, è uno che merita scomunica. Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, si chiama Bill Donohue, per la sua proclamazione come vittime sono niente ma bugiardi, cercatori d’oro, alla ricerca di un giorno di paga della chiesa. Per il suo confronto l’orrore, il terrore, la sofferenza e il dolore di noi vittime, che sono state brutalmente violentate, dei vostri sacerdoti, non solo dei nostri corpi, ma delle nostre anime, le nostre menti e i nostri cuori, per il suo essere uno schiaffo sul polso da una suora quando ha agito.

Per la sua menzogna sulla vittima, prclaiming lui come parte di un farmaco pista omicidio, come il dipartimento di polizia oggetto, quando la vittima, infatti, ha testimoniato in un farmaco omicidio, mettendo la sua vita a grandi rischi in questo modo. E a causa di Bill Donohue le azioni e le parole, che vittima ora è in pericolo di vita, dopo aver ricevuto minacce di morte e altre minacce, nonché essere battuti per la sua difesa e fa bene a testimoniare in un farmaco pista omicidio. La vittima è ora citano Bill Donohue e la Lega Cattolica per diffamazione e altre azioni civili e ancora, il Papa Francesco non è mai intervenuto per porre fine a Bill Donohue e i suoi attacchi contro le vittime del sacerdote lo stupro.

Se si stava parlando la verità Papa Francesco, poi, quando i Comitati delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti del fanciullo, e per la tortura, ha chiesto alla Santa Sede di abolire il segreto pontificio per le accuse di abusi sessuali su bambini, e al fine di diritto canonico obbligatoria la comunicazione all’autorità civile. Poi nel settembre del 2014, non si ha respinto la richiesta e gli ho detto che è fatto per motivi che le segnalazioni obbligatorie potrebbe interferire con la sovranità degli Stati indipendenti. Obbligo di segnalazione interferire con tale sovranità se una legge statale vietata reporting del clero abuso sessuale dei bambini alla polizia. Lo Stato non esiste.

Ma il Vaticano … illustra la sua reale intenzione di interferire nella sovranità degli Stati indipendenti, vietando reporting una volta procedimenti canonici, anche quando la legge civile richiede la comunicazione.

De facto il privilegio del clero con l’uso di segretezza, rendendo clero immune da procedimenti giudiziari civili per lo sfruttamento sessuale dei bambini, è stato istituito nel 1922 dal Papa Pio XI, ed è stato proseguito e ampliato da cinque dei suoi successori. Purtroppo, sembra che lei, Santo Padre Francesco hanno dato ogni indicazione di aggiunta alla lista, come il settimo papa.

Se si stava parlando la verità, il Santo Padre Francesco, quindi non sarebbe possibile avere nominato Juan Barros Madrid, Vescovo di Osorno, Cile. Non ottenere il suggerimento, il Papa Francesco, che il giorno in cui Barros è stato installato come Vescovo, tra polizia e centinaia di parrocchiani, vestito di nero di lutto denunciato Barros, che tutti sapevano che Barros aveva fatto e invece di sostenere lui, non si dovrebbe mai avere in lui un Vescovo?

Se si sta parlando verità Papa Francesco, quindi perché si ignora l Arcivescovo Chomali? Sappiamo, in un’intervista pubblicata 26 marzo, l’Arcivescovo di Concepcion descritti i dettagli di un incontro che ha avuto con Papa Francesco il 6 marzo. “Arcivescovo Chomali ha spiegato che egli don al Papa Francesco “documenti con informazioni dettagliate sulle conseguenze della nomina aveva fatto. Tutta la documentazione che ho citato a lui, sia attraverso la nunziatura apostolica o l’ambasciata cilena presso la Santa Sede. È stato molto aggiornato sul Vescovo Barros” situazione, e di fatto a pochi giorni prima aveva parlato con lui. Con fermezza e convinzione mi disse che aveva analizzato tutti i dati relativi al passato e che non vi era alcuna ragione obiettiva che il Vescovo Barros non deve essere installato come vescovo diocesano.”

No, Papa Francesco, non dire la verità, per la le azioni parlano più delle parole. Si parla un buon PR parlare, ma le altre parole e azioni non corrispondono con il PR che vi inviamo. Sì, il Santo Padre Francesco, sono di fatto, chiamando a due facce, bugiardo e ciarlatano. Dico la verità quando dico questo. Qualcosa voi e il resto del pedofilo, non pu iniziare anche a fare.

Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, mi fanno schifo insieme a tutti i pedofili Pimp Papi, Cardinali, Vescovi e Arcivescovi. Per voi sono come tutti loro, che sono un degenerato in mio libro, si sono responsabili per gli stupri, torture, schiavitù, abusi e altri crimini contro i bambini, come tutto il resto. Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, sono santo uomo di Dio, e non è neanche un rappresentante di Gesù Cristo sulla terra. Si sono ammalati e ritorto, è una, come un criminale come tutto il resto dei colleghi pedofili sfruttatori. Si, il Santo Padre Francesco sono una delle più basse forme di vita sul pianeta. Anche il contenuto di un dependance è più di quanto voi, e merita molto di più rispetto al boot. Proteggi il tuo culto dei pedofili pedofili e sfruttatori, come il resto di loro.

Lei, Santo Padre Francesco, Papa Emerito Benedetto XVI, tutti i suddetti Cardinali, Vescovi e Arcivescovi, colpevoli, davanti al vostro Dio e Gesù Cristo, che voi proclamate a seguire, da rappresentanti di questa terra, attraverso la Chiesa Cattolica Romana, di efferati crimini contro i bambini di tutto il mondo.

Lei, Santo Padre Francesco ci chiede di perdonare. Perché mai si dovrebbe? Perché qualcuno dovrebbe perdonare voi o la vostra chiesa e ci che tutti voi avete fatto?

NESSUNO DI VOI SONO VERAMENTE PENTITO DI TUTTI I CRIMINI E I MALI VOI E LA VOSTRA CHIESA HA FATTO CONTRO DI NOI!!!!QUINDI, NON SI PUÒ, E NEPPURE IL PROPRIO DIO E GESÙ CRISTO perdona, A MENO CHE L’UTENTE VERAMENTE E sinceramente pentiti DI TUTTO QUESTO MALE CHE AVETE FATTO PER I BAMBINI, NEL CORSO DEI SECOLI DI QUELLO CHE AVETE FATTO PER LORO. PER ESSERE perdonato, così fate anche voi DEVONO PENTIRSI, VISTO CHE NON L’HANNO FATTO, NON HA DIRITTO DI CHIEDERE A CHI DI NOI NON PERDONO…..LE VITTIME CHE HANNO ATTRAVERSATO QUESTO ORRORE, NÉ IL SUO DIO E GESÙ CHE TUTTI PROCLAMANO DI ESSERE RAPPRESENTANTI DI!!!

Papa Francesco, proclamare di rappresentare sulla terra, come Vicario di Cristo, allora la sua parola vale molto di più a voi e il resto del Cardinali, Arcivescovi e Vescovi, ancor più di quanto non vale anche per il resto di noi. Per VOI si suppone di essere santi uomini di dio, e i responsabili di ci che si proclamano l’unica vera chiesa di Gesù Cristo.

Beh, quella di annunciare a rappresentare, Papa Francesco, Gesù ha detto nella bibbia, il libro CHE tutti proclamano di essere la vera parola del vero Dio, il seguente:Marco 9:42:42 “chiunque scandalizzerà uno di questi piccoli che credono, sarebbe stato meglio per lui, con una pesante macina appesa al collo, era stato gettato in mare. E in Luca 17, 1-2: 1 Egli disse ai suoi discepoli: “è inevitabile che gli ostacoli, ma guai a colui per colpa del quale avviene lo scandalo! 2 “sarebbe meglio per lui che gli si metta una macina appesa al collo e venga gettato nel mare, piuttosto che uno di questi piccoli. Sembra che, il Santo Padre Francesco, che voi e il resto del pedofilo papponi dovrebbe investire in una società che rende forte e robusta corda e fa un sacco di macine in pietra. Se io fossi in te? Vorrei iniziare a unire le corde intorno al collo e collegamento a macine e trovare una grande porzione di mare per lanciare i vostri corpi. Che deve essere molto meglio di avere a che fare con quelli che si proclamano di rappresentare Gesù Cristo è per le vostre anime una volta davanti a lui a mio parere.

In chiusura il Papa Francesco, perché noi che sono state violentate, torturate, brutalizzata, ridotto in schiavitù, e distrutti dalla vostra chiesa e la sua i pedofili e i tossicodipendenti, hanno il coraggio di dire apertamente contro tutti i crimini commessi contro di noi e chiedere giustizia, siamo bollati come bigotti, odiatori, e peggio ancora. Ci è stato detto, ancora una volta, perché non osiamo parlare, che tutti noi siamo legati per l’inferno.

Molti di noi hanno già fatto il nostro tempo all’inferno se Papa Francesco. I nostri dolori e le sofferenze, i nostri incubi, i nostri orrori ci hanno inviato all’inferno e non pochi di noi sono venuti dall’altra parte, molto più forte, che le vittime si erano una volta. Ci sono attualmente I SUPERSTITI.

Sebbene alcuni di noi non ha, il nostro dolore e sofferenza, orrore e proseguire il trattamento del male contro di noi, la Chiesa Cattolica Romana, alcuni di essi a soffiare le cervella, o farsi impiccare, o suicidio in altri modi.

E alcuni sono ancora nascosti nell’ombra, ha paura di uscire e parlare, circa i crimini commessi contro di loro, per i sacerdoti, fratelli, suore e sorelle e tutti gli altri della vostra chiesa. Chi ancora tace, perché avete paura, si temono gli stupratori e la mente le torture cui sono stati posti da loro, mentre essi erano violentate e brutalizzata, realizzare questo Papa Francesco!!!

Abbiamo il forte superstiti sono MOLTI. Noi non abbiamo paura, né la chiesa, né i Cardinali, gli Arcivescovi e Vescovi. Noi non abbiamo paura del pew lucidatrici, che insultano e offendono e ci minacciano. Noi non abbiamo paura Bill Donohue della Lega Cattolica o chiunque altro si attacca. Dobbiamo insistere e parlare, che si terrà a tutti voi i vostri crimini. Avremo occasione di parlare ed esporre ovunque andiamo, quando siamo chiamati a farlo. Ci batteremo per le vittime, che sono ancora, ancora troppo aver paura di parlare. Dobbiamo difenderli, noi, contro di voi e gli altri dirigenti e tutti coloro che attaccano e difendono la chiesa per tutti i crimini commessi contro di noi.

Continueremo a chiedere giustizia. Continueremo a chiedere l’arresto e l’azione penale nei confronti di tutti e di ciascuno di voi, che coperto questi crimini contro di noi, che protetto e difeso i pedofili, gli autori di noi, e vinceremo contro di voi tutti. Non si pu pensare, si potrebbe pensare che la Chiesa Cattolica Romana è intoccabile, che non si possono fare tutti i crimini contro l’umanità e per i bambini di tutto il mondo.

In un certo senso, si potrebbe essere giusto, che non c’è giustizia sistema sarà in grado di farci pagare per i crimini, ma che è, di fatto cambiando e credo che presto le Nazioni Unite possano far sentire la loro voce e sarà perseguibile da parte loro.

Ma poi, un giorno, si dovrà stare davanti al giudice ULTIMO, quelli che tutti proclamano a seguire e rappresentare su questo piano di esistenza. E credo che quando si?

THESE ARE CRIMES, NOT SINS, GET IT RIGHT ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!

By Frank J LaFerriere

Dear Roman Catholic Church, When YOU assholes call what you all did to us? When YOU call crimes such as child abuse, child rape, child slavery and yes, child murder just sins? YOU lessen the impact of these crimes.

Get it through your sick and twisted disgusting heads right now.

1. Raping children is a CRIME.

2. Covering up the rapes of children is a CRIME.

3. Enslaving children in your Magdalene Laundries is a CRIME.

4. Murdering children and victims, by their suicides, is a CRIME.

5. Gang raping and gang beating children, like you all did in your Industrial Homes, likethe one at Artane, is a CRIME.

6. Standing up and defending these kinds of CRIMES makes YOU an accomplice.

Asking for victims of your crimes to forgive you is WRONG!!! We did absolutely nothing wrong, YOU DID. Why should we even accept YOUR FAKE APOLOGIES when YOU STILL blame US and attack US for

your crimes against US? Why do YOU feel we should forgive YOU when you continue to do the following against us:

1. DENYING US JUSTICE FOR THE CRIMES YOU COMMITTED AGAINST US.

2. BLAMING US FOR THE CRIMES THAT WERE COMMITTED AGAINST US.3. ATTACKING US AS THE EVIL ONES FOR STANDING UP AND CRYING OUT ABOUT THE CRIMES YOU COMMITTED AGAINST US.

4. DECLARING US THE EVIL ONES FOR SPEAKING OUT AGAINST THE CRIMES COMMTTED AGAINST US BY YOUR PSYCHOTIC PEDOPHILE PIMPS, YOUR PSYCHOTIC PEDOPHILE AND ABUSIVE PRIESTS, YOUR PSYCHOTIC PEDOPHILE AND ABUSIVE NUNS.

5. USING YOUR SCUMBAGS PSYCHOS LIKE BILL DONOHUE OF THE CATHOLICLEAGUE TO INSULT AND DENIGRATE US.

You all deserve to be arrested for your crimes against us. You all deserve to pay for your crimes against us, including the murder of us. For when ANY victim of your pedohiles have committed suicide, that is murder and YOU should be charged for it.

YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE CALLED HOLY MEN OF GOD. YOU DO NOT DESERVE DIGNITY AND RESPECT. YOU DO NOT DESERVE ANYTHING LESS THAN TO BE CALLED FOR WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE….

YOU ARE DISGUSTING CHILD RAPISTS. YOU ARE DISGUSTING PEDOPHILES. YOU ARE DISGUSTING PEDOPHILE PIMPS. YOU ARE DISGUSTING CHILD MURDERERS.

YOU HAVE RAPED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN. YOU HAVE ENSLAVED THOUSANDS MORE IN YOUR LAUNDRIES. YOU HAVE BEATEN AND TORTURED AND BRUTALIZED THEM. YOU HAVE DESTROYED THEIR LIVES. YOU DO NOT DESERVE PRAISE AND WORSHIP FOR THIS, YOU DESERVE CONDEMNATION AND OSTRASIZATION FOR THIS. YOU DESERVE TO BE ARRESTED AND TRIED AND UPON CONVICTION FOR YOUR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD, EXECUTED FOR YOUR CRIMES.

NO GREATER CALL FOR A DEATH PENALTY PUNISHMENT THAN THE BRUTAL RAPES, BEATINGS, ENSLAVEMENT AND MURDER OF CHILDREN THAT YOU ALL HAVE DONE AND ARE GUILTY FOR SHOULD BE CALLED FOR. YOU DESERVE TO BE EXECUTED ACTUALLY, IN MY OPINION USING THE VERY TOOLS OF THE INQUISITIONS THAT YOU USED TO EXECUTE OTHERS!!!

The Popes Pear

The Judas Chair

Each and every one of the following named individuals, have overwhelming, convincing and clear evidence against, that they were in fact, Pedophile pimps, in that they moved dangerous pedophile priests, from one parish to another, covering up for the rapes and abuses of children by these disgusting pedophiles and then they raped and abused even more children.

THERE IS OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE AGAINST EACH AND EVERY FOLLOWING NAMED INDIVIDUAL, THEY PLACED THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, ITS PEDOPHILE PRIESTS AND NUNS, IT’S PSYCHOTIC, ABUSIVE PRIESTS AND NUNS, BEFORE THE SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF CHILDREN.

There is clean and convincing evidence, against each and every following named individual, that they are part of the larger organization, The Roman Catholic Church and that worldwide, have committed atrocities and crimes against the children of the world and humanity that are overwhelming provable:

About 35,000 children and teenagers who were orphans, petty thieves, truants, unmarried mothers or from dysfunctional families were sent to Ireland’s network of 250 Church-run industrial schools, reformatories, orphanages and hostels from the 1930s up until the early 1990s. For six decades, priests and nuns terrorised boys and girls in the workhouse-style schools with sexual, physical and mental abuse.

This does NOT include the crimes against children and humanity, where ever these Roman Catholic Churches institutions were found, from Belgium, France, Italy, Australia, New South Wales, Germany, United States, Canada, and the world over.

EACH AND EVER ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PEDOPHILE PIMPS SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND TRIED FOR THEIR

CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY AND THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD!!!

The plaintiff’s lawyer says the diocese was aware that there was something in his past.

Allegations against Douglas were investigated in the early 1990s by the Diocese of Albany and in 2002 by the Diocesan Misconduct Review Panel, both concluded no sexual abuse occurred. The diocese acknowledged it gave financial assistance and counseling to an individual who made a complaint.

1. John Doe accusation Douglas was accused with three other Albany priests of sexually molesting, abusing and preying upon a boy (1961-) when he was under 18 between 1975 and 1979. The Supreme Court lawsuit, which asks for $600,000 in damages, also accuses the 74-year-old priest of molesting other adolescent males both before and after the late 1970s.

Genevive affair Rev. Frank Genevive (1957-), a Franciscan brother, ordained 1983, was assigned to St. Anthony’s Church in Troy, NY., where Mark Lyman was abused 1977-83, beginning when he was 13. Genevive videotaped hours of sexual misdeeds, took provocative Polaroid snapshots of him as a child and frequently offered him alcohol. Genevive later served at two Cape Cod churches. Genevive resigned from posts at St. Anthony’s Church in Troy and the La Salle Institute in North Greenbush in the 1980s for unknown reasons. In 2004, Franciscan officials said Genevive had been sent to the Mount Alvernia friary in Wappingers Falls, Dutchess County. Genevive is facing four felony counts of child rape involving two victims.

One victim was allegedly abused between 1977 and 1980, the other between 1987 and 1989. “Both of them were in their early to mid-teens at the time of the offenses.”

1. Mark Lyman accusation “It started when I was 13 right up until just before my 18th birthday,” Lyman said. “It’s significant for me in that I can no longer be referred to as an alleged victim. The people of the commonwealth heard my testimony and came down with three felony charges.” In June 2006, a Massachusetts judge dismissed a $5 million lawsuit Lyman filed against the Albany diocese. The judge backed the diocese’s contention that Genevive was a Franciscan friar and members of that order are not employees of the Albany diocese.

2. Genevive lawsuit Genevive had a lawsuit filed against him and the Diocese of Albany, The Franciscan Province of the Immaculate Conception, and Bishop Howard Hubbard by attorney John Aretakis, in Massachusetts Superior Court since the alleged abuse took place when the priest took the 13-year-old youth across state lines. “The statute of limitations are not a bar to these 15 and 20 year old cases as they are in New York State, so we have found a lot of success in pursuing these cases in a state where the actual sexual occurred, which in this case is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” 6 December 2004. The church had known about the complaint for two years.

3. Genevieve in Massachusetts Frank Genevieve taught at the former Christopher Columbus High School in Boston’s North End and was an assistant priest at St. Margaret’s Parish in Buzzard’s Bay in the late 1990s.

4. Genevive trial Frank Genevieve, who lives in a Franciscan retreat in Wappingers Falls, NY, was charged with abusing two boys between 13 and 16 years old. One boy was raped three times and another boy once at an unnamed rectory in the North End or in Genevieve’s car in downtown Boston, from his Troy, NY, parish on field trips to Massachusetts. He pleaded guilty to four counts of rape and another count of rape and assault, 23 July 2008. Sentenced to 8-10 years in prison (suspended for 5 years).

Gingras affair Rev. Jerome Gingras was accused of sexually abusing the music director of a Rensselaer County church on 21 December 2003, in a lawsuit by John Aretakis, January 2005.

Haight affair Rev. Mark Haight, ordained 1983, history of sexually abusing boys and two confidential settlement agreements that the diocese entered into with his victims. One victim suffered near-daily sexual abuse between the ages of 11 and 17 and he said he could not find a lawyer willing to take his case, until he found attorney John Aretakis in 1996 who negotiated nearly $1 million settlement, even though the statute of limitations had expired and any lawsuit could have been dismissed. Haight’s case also marks the fourth instance that the diocese assigned a pedophile priest to a hospital ministry, in his case at a Glens Falls hospital. Haight left the priesthood in 1997. May be at least 6 more victims.

Heim case Rev. William Heim, a former priest working as a school guidance counselor, was arrested March 2002 on charges of inappropriately touching (sexual contact) on an 11 year old boy for over a year. His last church assignment was 1972. In August 2002 he was sentenced to two years in state prison. In May 2002 he pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography on his home computer and received a sentence of 5 years probation (this was in another county).

Hubbard affair Bishop Howard J. Hubbard, ordained 1963, accused in 2004 of paying teen for sex twice in 1970s. Bishop denied allegation. He commissioned an investigation to examine this charge, as well as other allegations of sexual misconduct with adult males. The investigation, which did not have access to the complainant, found no credible evidence that Hubbard had violated his vow of celibacy.

Jupin affair Allegation that Rev. Alan D. Jupin and three other priests, the Rev. Louis E. Douglas, of Delaware, the Rev. Donald Ophals and the Rev. Neil Cawlings, who was visiting from England when the alleged abuse occurred, sexually abused a teenager 1975-79 when he was under 18. Most of the abuse occurred at the rectory of St. John the Baptist Church in Schenectady, where Jupin was pastor. Unable to prosecute because of statute of limitations. The lawsuit, which also said the priest contacted the victim in 2002, sought $600,000. Jupin reinstated when review board found no ‘reasonable grounds’ for believing 2 charges. Placed on admin leave March 2011; reinstated November 2011.

1. Jupin stalking accusation It is also claimed that Jupin stalked and intimidated his victim in February 2003, threatening to kill himself if the man lodged the complaint, saying “I’m not like all of those priests who go after little children.”

2. Sawicki allegations Timothy Sawicki claimed that Rev. Alan Jupin stalked and harassed him to keep him and he further charged Jupin engaged in the activity on behalf of Rev. Donald Ophals, Rev. Louis Douglas and Rev. Michael Hogan, all of whom Sawicki said abused him in the 1970s.

Kelly affair Rev. James E. Kelly (1923-), ordained 1957, chaplain for Father Flanagan’s Boys Town near Omaha, Neb., 1975-1983, where he is accused, along with family counselor Michael Wolf (d. 1990), of sexual abuse at the home for troubled and handicapped youth 1978-79. Kelly was

accused of sexual misconduct while working in Rensselaer in the 1980s. Kelly was appointed prison chaplain at three Carson City correctional centers in 1995 until January 2003. Kelly was moved from place to place every few years and there is an allegation that he abused young people in Albany, New York, his home diocese. Five other men have made sex abuse allegations against Kelly and Wolf, but none sued. Bishop Hubbard called Kelly to notify him of his removal on administrative leave, one day after the bishop learned about the new lawsuit filed in Omaha, Neb., 3 February 2003. Kelly adamantly denied the allegations since a diocesan review panel determined the claims against him to be credible.

Klebie affair Rev. John P. Klebie (changed from, Klebauskas) (d. 1981) who ran a churchsponsored overnight summer camp for underprivileged children ages 7 to 14, Camp Scully, on Snyder’s Lake in North Greenbush, 1958-70. He is the subject of sexual abuse allegations by at least 7 victims dating back to 1958. Removed from ministry in the 1970s.

LeFevre affair Rev. Robert J. LeFevre, ordained 1966, pastor of St. Peter’s Church in Saratoga Springs was accused by two brothers who said LeFevre unsuccessfully propositioned them for sex on separate occasions in 1969, while he was a priest at St. Margaret’s parish in Rotterdam Junction.

1. Hesler accusation John Hesler for three decades, silently struggled with the after effects of being sexually abused by the Rev. Edward Leroux, late 1960s. Hesler was an altar boy, lector and a member of the CYO at Guilderland’s St. Madeleine Sophie, where Leroux was serving. He turned to the diocese for help and justice, a quest that began in 1992 after Leroux neglected to answer a 1989 letter. “I have been dutifully working (for years) within the system to ensure that others would not be abused,” he stressed. “But I am reluctantly coming forward to expose what I believe is a still-festering infection in my church…. I believe the community needs to know what is going on with real victims of abuse, not just nameless statistics.”

McDevitt case Rev. James J. McDevitt (1947-), ordained 1997, pastor of the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Margaretville, charged with 20 counts connected to the alleged sexual abuse of six males has been served with a civil suit filed by four of the alleged victims. McDevitt turned himself in and pleaded not guilty during an appearance at Middletown Town Court on 16 July 2009.

According to Urban there is no record of this. In response to Urban’s complaint, Aretakis accused him of being one of the most notoriously sexually active priests. Urban says that the allegations made against him by Aretakis are “absolutely false and defamatory”.

1. DeSantis accusation Michael DeSantis (1977-) accused of Urban along with four priests — Alan Jupin, 73 (Jupin affair); Louis Douglas, 82 (Douglas affair); Donald Ophals, 77 (Ophals affair); and John Bertolucci, 73 (Bertolucci affair) of sexual abuse in separate incidents at Jupin’s former apartment in Colonie or at Our Lady of Mercy church in Colonie, August 2011.

Wilson affair Rev. Dozia J. Wilson, a black priest, was ordained in the Albany Diocese in 1972, served at Sacred Heart parish in Albany, was arrested in 1976 having been caught molesting two young boys in a local motel room but not prosecuted, instead he was served with an “Ultimatum from police to Bishop Broderick – get him out of Albany.”

1. Desire for a change Broderick transferred Wilson to Cardinal Humberto Medeiros of Boston noting the priest “has expressed a desire to work among his own people.” Wilson was later accused of drinking and carousing with boys at the St. Joseph church rectory in Roxbury, including molesting teenage boys who lived with him at the rectory where he was assigned 1976-79. Wilson was then sent to priest treatment centers, then back to Albany. But none of that stopped Cardinal Humberto S. Medeiros and Bishop Thomas V. Daily, then vicar general of the archdiocese, from writing a total of three nearly identical letters of recommendation as Wilson sought to continue in ministry in the dioceses of Richmond, VA, and Tulsa, OK, in 1979, and Medeiros wrote to the US Navy in 1978. “He has expressed to me his desire for a change,” Daily wrote. Wilson returned to Albany in 1979. One victim from age 14 to 19, a basketball player and guitarist, recalled being the vulnerable product of a broken home in 1980. “He said that played into Wilson’s manipulation. He said the priest often plied him with alcohol and marijuana and then fondled him when they practiced music for Sunday liturgies at St. Ann’s Church in his hometown.” Yet it was not until 1997 that Bishop J. Hubbard “first received from a victim an allegation of sexual misconduct by Dozia Wilson,” according to a statement from the diocese. Diocese of Albany, after “extensive mediation,” agreed to pay the victim who was abused for two years from 1976 and occurred in the Archdiocese of Boston, $500,000. “When I look at this case it gets me more angry at Hubbard than Wilson, because Wilson is a sick, sick man and Hubbard knew it, and sent him off to an outof-the-way church where he wasn’t watched and was able to molest more victims,” said attorney John Aretakis. Wilson was defrocked in 1993, then became spiritual director at St. Christopher’s Inc., an adolescent residential program in Dobbs Ferry, but was fired after being beaten in his apartment by an 18-year-old man he picked up in Manhattan 2003.

The Pedophile Pimps and Priests of the RCC

victimsofrapebythercc

PLEASE NOTE, I AM CONTINUING TO BUILD THIS SECTION PAGE. PLEASE BE PATIENT, THERE ARE OVER 3,700 NAMES TO BE ADDED TO THIS LIST.

This page is the place to find list after list of the Roman Catholic Church Pedophile Pimps, Priests, and Nuns. The lists are alphabetical. All names are verified before added to these lists. Most of the names on these lists come from various resources, but most especially Bishops Accountability. I wish to thank all the people who worked on Bishops Accountability and the people of SNAP, Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests, especially Barbara Blaine, David Clohessy, Judy Jones and the many other fine people of SNAP. This is a list I have so far of the Roman Catholic Church of Pedophile Pimps and Priests. This list contains the names of Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops that have irrefutable evidence against them that they put the interests of the Roman Catholic Church before the interests of protecting children. The named Priests, Brothers and Msgrs are those who have been convicted in a court of law, or by the Vatican itself, of raping children. All of these names

comes from my intensive research for my book Our Father Who Art in Hell: A Priest Abuse Victims Story soon to be coming to a bookstore near you.

BILL DONOHUE, PRESIDENT OF THE CATHOLIC LEAGUE:

Bill Donohue is on the list not because he has been accused, but because he is the Pit Bull and Head Apologist for the Roman Catholic Church of Pedophile Pimps, Priests and Parishioners. In interviews I have heard this low life say that no priests have ever been convicted of child abuse or sex abuse. He also calls us victims liars only out for a payday from his church. He denigrates, defames and insults us victims of priest sexual abuse and tells us all we should just shut the hell up, grow up and deal with it. He has attacked SNAP: Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests with his buddy Cardinal Timothy Dolan and both have sworn they will put the “biggest menace” to the Roman Catholic Church out of business and calls the leaders of SNAP liars and psychopaths. Funny Bill Donohue is supposedly this smart guy with all of these degrees, but he does not know that dozens and dozens of priests have been convicted of child rape. This makes Bill Donohue the head of all of my lists of Pedophile Pimp Protector of the Unholy Roman Catholic Church of Pedophile Pimps, Priests and Parishioners.

The Leaders

The Popes

1. POPE BENEDICT XVI: As Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and as such, he was responsible for exposing and turning over to authorities priests accused of raping children.His biggest crime involved Marcel Marcial, the Jesuit priest and founder of the Legions of Christ. Marcial was a pederast, a womanizer, married two women and then raped his own children and sexually assaulted his seminarians.By the late fifties Marciel was already subjected to a canonical process for accusations of pederasty.Despite the evidence, the Roman Curia chose to take no action.In 1965 Rome officially recognized the congregation of Legionaries.Maciel had a knack for ingratiating himself with important people in the Vatican bureaucracy and the religious elites of the business classes in the countries to which his organization spread. From the end of the seventies right up to the early nineties he was an active promoter of John Paul II’s trips to Mexico.At the end of the nineties the Vatican received documentation on another suit against Maciel for pederasty, this time from several former Legionaries.Ratzinger, who was the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the time, chose to shelve it so John Paul II wouldn’t have to quarrel with Maciel. Not until 2006, once he was Pope Benedict XVI, did Ratzinger decide to punish the Legion’s founder, but tried to do it with a low profile.He ordered Maciel to leave Rome, renounce all priestly public ministries and lead the life of a recluse.In early 2008, Maciel died without ever facing justice for his serious crimes.So from the late 50’s until 2006, the RCC knew about what Marciel was doing. As Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he also knew what Marciel was doing, but it took 50 years to actually do something about him and then it was basically a slap on the wrist. When Ratzinger was a cardinal,

he too protected Maciel.In 1998 he blocked the case and in 2001 modified the Canonical Code of Law to give Maciel a way out: the crime of absolving an accomplice would have a 10-year statute of limitations. This gave the abuser an escape route and left the victims with no possibility of proving their accusations in court.Now his second biggest crime involves that for decades, a group of men who were sexually abused as children by Rev. Lawrence C. Murphy at a school for the deaf in Wisconsin reported to every type of official they could think of that he was a danger, according to the victims and church documents. They told other priests. They told three archbishops of Milwaukee. They told two police departments and the district attorney. They used sign language, written affidavits and graphic gestures to show what exactly Father Murphy had done to them. But their reports fell on the deaf ears of hearing people. Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, received letters about Father Murphy in 1996 from Archbishop Rembert G. Weakland of Milwaukee, who said that the deaf community needed “a healing response from the Church.” The Vatican sat on the case, then equivocated, and when Father Murphy died in 1998, he died a priest. Father Murphy may have molested as many as 200 boys while he worked at the school from 1950 to 1974, according to the accounts of victims and a social worker hired by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee to interview him.

2. POPE JOHN PAUL II: Father Maciel Marcial,was a morphine addict who sexually abused at least 20 Legion seminarians from the 1940s to the ’60s. Bishop John McGann of Rockville Centre, N.Y., sent a letter by a former Legion priest with detailed allegations to the Vatican in 1976, 1978 and 1989 through official channels. Nothing happened. Maciel began fathering children in the early 1980s — three of them by two Mexican women, with reports of a third family with three children in Switzerland, according to El Mundo in Madrid, Spain.Concealing his web of relations, Maciel raised a fortune from wealthy backers, and ingratiated himself with church officials in Rome…Maciel’s chief supporter (was) Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican secretary of state from 1990 to 2006. Maciel left an ecclesiastical empire with which the church must now contend. The Italian newsweekly L’espresso estimates the Legion’s assets at 25 billion euros, with a $650 million annual budget, according to The Wall Street Journal.In 1994 Pope John Paul II heralded him (Maciel) as “an efficacious guide to youth.” John Paul continued praising Maciel after a 1997 Hartford Courant investigation by Gerald Renner and this writer exposed Maciel’s drug habits and abuse of seminarians.In 1998, eight ex-Legionaries filed a canon law case to prosecute him in then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger’s tribunal. For the next six years, Maciel had the staunch support of three pivotal figures: Sodano; Cardinal Eduardo Martínez Somalo, prefect of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life; and Msgr. Stanislaw Dziwisz, the Polish secretary of John Paul. During those years, Sodano pressured Ratzinger not to prosecute Maciel…In 2004, John Paul — ignoring the canon law charges against Maciel — honored him in a Vatican ceremony in which he entrusted the Legion with the administration of Jerusalem’s Notre Dame Center, an education and conference facility.John Paul’s support gave Maciel credibility as he moved with seamless ease among the ultra-wealthy.

At a 2004 fundraiser in New York, a video cameraman filmed him running his fingers down the tuxedo lapel of the Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, a major Legion supporter. Besides donations, Legion schools in Mexico with high tuitions and low salaries subsidized the operations in Rome… Legion supporters ranged from Steve McEveety, producer of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion of the Christ” (Legion priests advised on the film), to Thomas Monaghan, founder of Domino’s Pizza and Ave Maria University in Florida. Others who supported the Legion include former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who spoke at Legion conferences…and the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, editor of First Things, who wrote that he believed with “moral certainty” that the charges against Maciel were “false and malicious.””Harvard Law Professor and former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican Mary Ann Glendon taught at Regina Apostolorum Athenaeum, the Legion’s university in Rome, and advised in the planning that led to the order’s first university in America, University of Sacramento, Calif. In a 2002 letter for the Legion Web site she scoffed at the allegations against him and praised Maciel’s “radiant holiness” and “the success of Regnum Christi [the order’s lay wing] and the Legionaries of Christ in advancing the New Evangelization”Two Legion priests are TV news celebrities: Jonathan Morris on FOX, and Tom Williams, a theology professor at the Legion university in Rome, for NBC during Katie Couric’s coverage of the 2005 conclave and again with Couric at CBS….(we) made repeated efforts to seek comment from the three cardinals who allegedly received substantial payments under Maciel’s auspices, by speaking with Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi on the telephone and via followup e-mails. Besides calls to the residences of the two cardinals in Rome, the paper made an extensive effort to contact now-Cardinal Dziwisz, in Krakow, Poland. Iowana Hoffman, a Polish journalist in New York, translated a letter with questions for the cardinal, faxed it to Dziwisz’s press secretary, but was told that the cardinal “does not have time for an interview.”Sodano, the former secretary of state and now dean of the College of Cardinals, and Martínez Somalo, former papal chamberlain, did not respond to messages left with Lombardi. A receptionist who answered Sodano’s residential number said to call the Vatican. The woman answering Martínez Somalo’s phone, when asked in Spanish if he would speak with a journalist, said emphatically, ” No entrevista! ” — “No interview.”Had Sodano, Martínez Somalo and Dziwisz responded, the cardinals might have answered one question that hovers over this baroque financial drama: How do Vatican officials decide what to report, and to whom, if they are given large sums of money? The Vatican has no constitution or statutes that would make such transactions illegal. But those familiar with the strategy say it was Maciel’s goal to insulate himself from the Vatican’s archaic system of secret tribunals by making friends with men in power. For most of his life, it worked.…The Legion constitution included the highly controversial Private Vows, by which each Legionary swore never to speak ill of Maciel, or the superiors, and to report to them anyone who uttered criticism. The vows basically rewarded spying as an expression of faith, and cemented the Legionaries’ lockstep obedience to the founder….Dziwisz was John Paul’s closest confidante, a Pole who had a bedroom in the private quarters of the Apostolic Palace. Maciel spent years

cultivating Dziwisz’s support. Under Maciel, the Legion steered streams of money to Dziwisz in his function as gatekeeper for the pope’s private Masses in the Apostolic Palace….such exchanges are not considered bribes in the view of Nicholas Cafardi, a prominent canon lawyer and the dean emeritus of Duquesne University Law School in Pittsburgh. Cafardi, who has done work as a legal consultant for many bishops, responded to a general question about large donations to priests or church officials in the Vatican. Under church law (canon 1302), a large financial gift to an official in Rome “would qualify as a pious cause,” explains Cafardi. He spoke in broad terms, saying that such funds should be reported to the cardinal-vicar for Rome. An expensive gift, like a car, need not be reported. Maciel wanted to buy power,” said the priest who facilitated the Mexican family’s opera carita to Dziwisz. He did not use the word bribery, but in explaining why he left the Legion, morality was at issue. “It got to a breaking point for me [over] a culture of lying [within the order]. The superiors know they’re lying and they know that you know,” he said. “They lie about money, where it comes from, where it goes, how it’s given.”When Martínez Somalo, a Spaniard, became head of the congregation overseeing religious in 1994, Maciel dispatched this priest to Martínez Somalo’s home. The young priest carried an envelope thick with cash. “I didn’t bat an eye,” he recalled. “I went up to his apartment, handed him the envelope, said goodbye. … It was a way of making friends, insuring certain help if it were needed, oiling the cogs.”…Martínez Somalo’s office took a new name: Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. But the job description stayed the same. From 1994 to 2004, the Spanish cardinal’s duties included investigating any complaints about religious orders or their leaders. In the files of that congregation, according to several former Legionaries, sat letters that dated back many years, accusing Maciel of abusing seminarians. When the wrenching accounts of nine seminary-victims of Maciel made news in the 1997 Hartford Courant, Martínez Somalo did nothing. That was the reaction throughout the Roman curia.John Paul named Martínez Somalo to the post of carmelango, or chamberlain, the official in charge of the conclave when a pope is elected.

For years Maciel had Legion priests dole out envelopes with cash and donate gifts to officials in the curia. In the days leading up to Christmas, Legion seminarians spent hours packaging the baskets with expensive bottles of wine, rare brandy, and cured Spanish hams that alone cost upward of $1,000 each. Priests involved in the gifts and larger cash exchanges say that in hindsight they view Maciel’s strategy as akin to an insurance policy, to protect himself should he be exposed and to position the Legion as an elite presence in the workings of the Vatican.

Fichter, the former Legion member, is today pastor of Sacred Heart Parish in Haworth, N.J. He has been a diocesan priest for a decade, and serves in the Newark archdiocese. He coordinated the Legion’s administrative office in Rome from February 1998 until October 2000. “When Fr. Maciel would leave Rome it was my duty to supply him with $10,000 in cash — $5,000 in American dollars, and the other half in the currency of the country to which he was traveling,” explained

Fichter. “I would be informed by one of his assistants that he was leaving and I would have to prepare the funds for him. I never questioned that he was not using it for good and noble purposes. It was a routine part of my job. He was so totally above reproach that I felt honored to have that role. He did not submit any receipts and I would have not dared to ask him for a receipt.”

After the ex-Legion victims filed a canonical case in 1998 against Maciel in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Sodano as secretary of state — essentially, the Vatican prime minister — pressured Ratzinger, as the congregation’s prefect, to halt the proceeding. …José Barba, a college professor in Mexico City and ex-Legionary who filed the 1998 case in Ratzinger’s office, learned from the canonist handling the case, Martha Wegan in Rome, of Sodano’s role.

“Sodano came over with his entire family, 200 of them, for a big meal when he was named cardinal,” recalled Favreau. “And we fed them all. When he became secretary of state there was another celebration. He’d come over for special events, like the groundbreaking with a golden shovel for the House of Higher Studies. And a dinner after that.” The intervention of a high Vatican official in a tribunal case illustrates the fragile nature of the system, and in the Maciel case, how a guilty man escaped punishment for years. “Cardinal Sodano was the cheerleader for the Legion,” said one of the ex-Legionaries. “He’d come give a talk at Christmas and they’d give him $10,000.”

In 2009, a year after Maciel’s death, the Legion disclosed its surprise on discovering that he had a daughter. The news jolted the order and its lay arm, Regnum Christi. Yet in an organization built on a cult of personality, the long praise from John Paul suggested a legacy of virtue in Maciel. Legion officials scrambled to suppress skepticism. Two Legion priests (said) in July (2009) that seminarians in Rome were still being taught about Maciel’s virtuous life. “They are being brainwashed, as if nothing happened,” said a Legionary, sitting on a bench near Rome’s Tiber River….

In a book on Maciel published in Spain, journalist Alfonso Torres Robles calls an event on Jan. 3, 1991, “one of the most powerful demonstrations of strength by the Legion … at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, when John Paul II ordained 60 Legionaries into the priesthood, in the presence of 7,000 Regnum Christi members from different countries, 15 cardinals, 52 bishops and many millionaire benefactors.” Maciel had the event filmed and a sequence used in a video the Legion sold until 2006. John Paul was a strategic image in Legion mass mailings and the video shown to potential donors when seminarians accompanied priests to their homes.

…Maciel forced all Legionaries to take private vows, never to speak ill of Maciel or any superiors, and to report to their superiors anyone who did. The vows ensured his cult of personality. Juan Vaca and seven other early victims of Maciel who first spoke publicly, in the 1997

Hartford Courant report by Gerald Renner and this writer, gave graphic accounts of how, in Spain and Rome in the 1950s, they watched Maciel inject himself with a morphine painkiller called dolantin, as the drug was called at the time. In 1956, a strung-out Maciel entered Salvator Mundi Hospital in Rome. Cardinal Valerio Valeri, a reed-like former diplomat and prefect for Congregation of Religious, was furious over letters from an older seminarian in Mexico City who had seen Maciel self-inject and worried about his overly affectionate behavior with boys. The priest who ran the Legion high school was also concerned about Maciel’s drug use and advances on youths. Cardinal Valeri suspended Maciel and arranged for Carmelite priests to assume control of the Legion house.

…Maciel traveled between Spain and Latin America, raising money for a big project underway in Rome: Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica. Maciel got his break in 1959 when Pius XII died. Micara, by then the vicar of Rome, signed an order reinstating Maciel — something for which, in the interregnum between popes, he had no authority to do. Canon law puts official duties in abeyance in the interim. What were Valeri and other officials who were offended by Maciel to do? Expend what capital they had with the new pontiff, challenging Micara over a druggy priest with a vice for boys but cash lines to build a basilica? Maciel was redeemed by an illegitimate order from a cardinal to whom he had given $10,000 13 years before, according to a priest with access to Legion files.

….Maciel reaped lasting dividends in Monterrey with the Garza-Sada families. The dynasty dates to 1890, when Isaac Garza and his brother-in-law, Francisco Sada, opened a brewery. Isaac’s sons, Eugenio and Roberto Garza Sada, both graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, built a bottling factory in 1943. As they branched into other industries, the Garza brothers founded a university, TEC — the Technical Institute of Superior Studies in Monterrey. Maciel launched private schools in Monterrey, one for boys, one for girls. He exported to America a model for prep schools to attract well-heeled families who would join Regnum Christi, which organized study groups to discuss Maciel’s letters. Lay celibates, the highest level of Regnum Christi members, live in communities and work relentlessly on fundraising….”They were grooming us for Regnum Christi — the Movement. If your family had money, power, influence, they wanted you. They kept telling me, ‘God gave you everything, you must give back by fighting the forces of evil.’ … Their whole discourse was this paradise of moral rectitude….” Two of (Garza-Sada) siblings joined the Movement. Paulina, now in her 50s, is a Regnum Christi consecrated woman in Rome. A brother, Fr. Luis Garza Medina, graduated from Stanford University in California in 1978 with a degree in industrial engineering and entered the Legion. At 32 he became vicar general, the second highest position. Through the two siblings, Maciel secured a continuing flow of money from the family. Fr. Garza donated $3 million of his inheritance to the Legion, according to a colleague at the time. In an e-mail exchange, Fr. Garza would neither confirm nor deny the amount or the donation…. Maciel died in a surreal drama where his life pieces converged with shuddering fall. In late

January 2008, he was in a hospital in Miami, according to a Jan. 31, 2010 report by reporters Sota and Vidal of El Mundo….In the hospital gathered Alvaro Corcuera, Maciel’s successor as director general; the Legion’s general secretary, Evarista Sada; and numerous other associates. Maciel reportedly refused to make a confession, stirring such concerns that someone summoned an exorcist, though the article does not describe a ritual. The men around Maciel were jarred when two women appeared: Norma the mother, and Normita, 23. At that point, Maciel reportedly said of the Normas: “I want to stay with them.”

The El Mundo article continues: “The Legionary priests, alarmed by Maciel’s attitude, called Rome. [Fr.] Luis Garza knew right away that this was a grave problem. He consulted with the highest authority, Alvaro Corcuera, and then hopped on the first plane to Miami and went directly to the hospital.

[Garza’s] indignation could be read on his face. He faced the once-powerful founder and threatened him: “I will give you two hours to come with us or I will call all the press and the whole world will find out who you really are.” And Maciel let his arm be twisted. After the priests got Maciel to a Legion house in Jacksonville, Florida, he reportedly grew belligerent when Corcuero tried to anoint him, yelling, “I said no!” The article says Maciel refused to make a final confession, and states flatly that he “did not believe in God’s pardon.” That is an opinion that Maciel’s sordid life might well support, but for which, in fact, we have no proof.

In announcing his ascent to heaven, immediately following Maciel’s 2008 death, the Legion high command took propaganda to a level beyond category.

The Mission of Father Maciel

New York Review of Books (http://www.nybooks.com/) (excerpt) | June 24, 2010 by Alma Guillermoprieto

Of all the terrible sexual scandals the hierarchs in the Vatican find themselves tangled in, none is likely to do more institutional damage than the astounding and still unfolding story of the Mexican priest Marcial Maciel.

The crimes committed against children by other priests and bishops may provoke rage, but they also make one want to look away. With Father Maciel, on the other hand, one can hardly tear oneself from the ghastly drama as it unfolds, page by page, revelation by revelation, in the Mexican press (http://www.quien.com/espectaculos/2010/03/26/lasfamilias-del-padre-maciel).

Father Maciel, who was born in Mexico and died in 2008 at the age of eighty-seven, was known around the Catholic world. Against ordinarily insurmountable obstacles, he founded what was to become one of the most dynamic, profitable, and conservative religious orders of the twentieth century, which today has almost eight hundred priests and approximately 70,000 men and women around the world who participate in the lay movement Regnum Christi. The Legion of

Christ, nearly seventy years old as an order, is comparatively small, but it is influential: it operates fifteen universities, and some 140,000 students are enrolled in its schools (in New York, its members teach in eleven parish schools). And its leadership has long enjoyed remarkable access to the Vatican hierarchy

A great achiever and close associate of Pope John Paul II, Maciel was also a bigamist, pederast, dope fiend, and plagiarist. He came from the fervently religious state of Michoacán in the southwest of Mexico and grew up during the years of the Cristero War (1926–1929), a savage conflict that pitched traditional Catholics (Cristeros) in provincial Mexico against the anticlerical government in the capital. One of his uncles was the commanding general of the Cristeros. Another four uncles were bishops. One of them, Rafael Guízar Valencia, brought him into a clandestine seminary in Mexico City. As a twenty-year-old who had not even taken his vows, Maciel created a new religious order with the help of another uncle.

… Maciel was evidently a man of some magnetism. Dozens of wealthy women contributed generous amounts for the Legionaries’ good works, and the Mexican magazine Quién, normally known for its society pages and not for its investigative reporting, recently had a story about one of Mexico’s wealthiest widows, Flora Barragán de Garza, who donated upward of $50 million during the years of Maciel’s glory. “She gave him practically all our father’s fortune,” Barragán’s daughter told the Quién interviewer, adding that the family finally had to intervene so that the by then elderly woman would not be left destitute. Her generosity allowed Maciel to travel first-class throughout his peripatetic life, but it also provided the seed money for the network of private schools to which wealthy Mexican conservatives dispatched their children.

In 1997, Blanca Estela Lara Gutiérrez, a Mexican woman who was living in Cuernavaca, looked at the cover of the magazine Contenido—a Reader’s Digest sort of publication—and saw on it the face of her common-law husband. She had been his partner for twenty-one years and borne him two children, and she knew him as a private detective or “CIA agent” who, for understandable work-related reasons, put in only occasional appearances at home. Now she learned that he was a priest and that his real name was Marcial Maciel.

He was, the magazine said, the head of an order whose strictness and extreme conservatism appeared to hide some vile secrets: the article, picking up information first brought to light by Gerald Renner and Jason Berry in the Hartford Courant, revealed that nine men—two of whom helped to establish the Legionaries in the US and another still an active member, and the rest all former members of the order—had informed their superiors in Rome that Maciel had abused them sexually when they were pubescent seminarians under his care.

The accusations were not new, nor would they be the last. In 1938 Maciel was expelled from his uncle Guízar’s seminary, and shortly afterward from a seminary in the United States. According to witnesses, Maciel and his uncle had a gigantic row behind closed doors, and one witness, a

As it turns out, Maciel’s common-law marriage to Lara Gutiérrez was not exclusive. Some ten years after he met her, he began a long-lasting relationship with a nineteen-year-old waitress from Acapulco, to whom he introduced himself as an “oil broker.” He had a daughter with her, and, according to a recent article in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, several more children with other partners.

After she found out that her husband was not a CIA agent but a child- molesting priest, Lara Gutiérrez did not come forth with the news that she was married to him. Perhaps she was terrified unawares of the man she believed “was her God,” as she would say a decade later. Perhaps she was simply ashamed. At any rate, she kept silent …And then, last March, two years after Maciel’s death, Lara Gutiérrez appeared with her three sons on one of Mexico’s most wellregarded talk shows and listened quietly while two of her children testified that their father, Marcial Maciel, had made them masturbate him, and had first attempted to rape them, the older one said, when he was seven years old. (This testimony has been tarnished somewhat by the revelation that the sons had earlier demanded millions of dollars from the Legionaries of Christ in exchange for their silence. The order has not attempted to deny the accusation, however).

We have a double vision of Maciel: we see the saintly figure known to his followers—one long, elegant hand placed on his chest, the other raised in benediction—and, as if through a keyhole, the other, nightmarish, Maciel, demanding that young boys masturbate him and then assuring the shocked, traumatized children that he was authorized by the Vatican to obtain “relief” by this means from dreadful physical pain.

…The Legionaries—that is, Maciel—financed the construction of the church of Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Philip Martyr in Rome, which Maciel intended for his mausoleum. But strikingly, Maciel the priest nearly always staged his pederastic dramas in the infirmary, or sick room (enfermeria) of whatever Legionary seminary he happened to be at, as if this were a place where he could be cured. The masturbatory acts were explained to his victims as a remedy for his pain, but perhaps he truly hoped for healing of some sort in the infirmary. He knew, in any event, how sick he was: he left instructions with his delegates not to start the process of his canonization until thirty years after his death—in the hope, one can guess, that the memory of his sins would be erased by then.

Quite apart from the damage to Maciel’s victims, there is the pressing question of why the Catholic Church, as an institution, did not condemn him when he was ordained as a priest, or when he founded the Legionaries, or when the story of his pederasty made the covers of magazines, or when enough evidence was found for Pope Benedict XVI to conclude that Maciel should live out the rest of his life in seclusion, or even when the rumors grew strong enough to warrant a Vatican investigation of the order as a whole. The answer surprises no one: at a time in

which churches are emptying, the Legionaries have been a rich source of conscripts, money, and influence. In Mexico everyone from (billionaire) Carlos Slim to Marta Sahagún, the wife of former president Vicente Fox, gave money to or asked favors from Maciel It was not until last year that Karol Wojtyla’s successor, Pope Benedict XVI, at last authorized a visitation— churchspeak for investigation—of the entire order of the Legion of Christ.

As usual, the press and some disaffected religious have been way ahead of the Vatican. Now we learn from the press that the order kept some nine hundred women under nonbinding vows as consagradas, or quasi nuns, in conditions of severe emotional privation. According to a recent report in Milenio, the women, members of the Regnum Christi, live communally although they are not ordained. They are allowed to see their parents once a year, and spend two weeks with the rest of their family every seven years. They are expected to donate half their material worth after fifteen years of consecration, and donate the full amount after twenty-five. Twice a month they are obligated to have a confessionlike conversation with their female superiors, who in turn report on the content of these talks to their own superiors within the Legionaries. The Vatican visitators who conducted the recent investigation of Maciel were allegedly surprised to discover the existence of the consagradas, and to find these and other violations of canonical law in their statutes.

In the end, the scandal of Marcial Maciel, gruesome and grotesque as it is, may turn out to be a scandal of the Catholic Church. There is the distressing question of the Church’s last pope, the popular John Paul II, and his relations with the demonic priest. There is the not unimportant fact that the Legionaries—along with Benedict XVI and indeed John Paul II— represent the most morally conservative part of the Church, and that they now appear enmeshed in squalid moral scandals. There is, above all, the fact that an entire large, wealthy, international institution is now under suspicion (what did Maciel’s fellow Legionaries know, when did they know it, and who was complicit?) and that the greatest institution of all, the Roman Catholic Church, appears to have engaged in a cover-up for decades on its behalf….

…Many priests and nuns, it would seem, opt to “obey” rules but not comply with them, as the Spanish formulation has it (obedezco, pero no cumplo). I offer this simply as anecdotal evidence, but in my casual, friendly, and often admiring acquaintance with members of the Catholic orders —all from the social activist branch of the Church, for whatever it’s worth— a remarkable number have been involved in some sort of couple relationship…(end quote).

Michael Hoffman’s Afterword

These crimes were facilitated in many ways: through bureaucracy, greed and venality, but above all the devil worked through those priests and hierarchs who instilled in the faithful an allegiance to a false understanding of obedience. Beware religious authorities who insinuate that you must

obey them rather than God, reversing the Gospel command to obey God rather than men (Acts 5:29).

This is the lesson to be gleaned from this disgusting and criminal Vatican farrago, as it transpired in the pontificate of Pope John Paul II — and many of the most guilty hierarchs remain in power under Pope Benedict XVI.

Marcial Maciel named his organization the “Legion of Christ” and by his subsequent actions he blasphemed that name, the name above all others, to which every knee shall bow (Philippians 2:10). How any Christian can give allegiance to the Vatican mafia that is still in place and which enabled Maciel’s crime spree is beyond rational comprehension, except in terms of the functioning of a cult mentality (Matthew 20: 25-28).

The Shame of John Paul II: How the Sex Abuse Scandal Stained His Papacy

Moreover, on the greatest internal crisis facing the church, the pope failed, time and again, to take decisive action in response to clear evidence of a criminal underground in the priesthood, a subculture that sexually traumatized tens of thousands of youngsters. Despite a 1984 warning memo from the Rev. Thomas Doyle, then a canon lawyer in the Vatican Embassy in Washington, and a ninety-three-page report on the problem co-written by Doyle in 1985, which was sent to every American bishop, John Paul ordered no outreach to victims, no binding policy to rid the priesthood of deviants. In 1989 the US conference of bishops sent experts in canon law to Rome, seeking a streamlined process for defrocking child molesters rather than waiting for the byzantine Vatican bureaucracy and final word from the pope. John Paul refused. Litigation and prosecutions spread, but the pope remained passive.

As victim-survivors found their way to lawyers, a train of legal discovery in the United States, Ireland and other countries yielded documents linking complicit bishops, religiousorder superiors and Vatican officials in the concealment of sex offenders. On April 21 in an important lawsuit against the Vatican by a man who was abused by a predator priest, a federal district court in

Portland, Oregon, ordered church officials in Rome to turn over documents for discovery. District Judge Michael Mosman said, “Plaintiff has proffered evidence that tends to show the Holy See knew of [the priest’s] propensities and that in some cases, the Holy See exercised direct control over the conduct, placement, and removal of individual priests accused of similar sexual misconduct.” The US Supreme Court declined to hear the Holy See’s appeal for dismissal, which was based on a claim of sovereign immunity.

On John Paul’s role in the church’s long nightmare, the Rev. Richard McBrien, a distinguished University of Notre Dame theologian, wrote, “Indeed, he had a terrible record, full of denial and foot-dragging, on the greatest crisis to confront the Catholic Church since the Reformation of the 16th century.”

Pope John Paul II and the Sex Abuse Case

The world is not ignorant about the presence of lecherous priests in the world but, who would have guessed that the Catholic Church also hosts a few of these perverts of the highest order. Among the most serious cases are the ones involving Cardinal Hans Hermann Groer an Austrian friend of the Pope. The Cardinal was accused of molesting over 2000 boys and young monks in his overall career span. Even then he sailed through the situation because there were no sanctions placed on him.

The next case was related to Marcial Maciel Degollado, the Mexican founder of the ‘Legion of Christ’. This person was accused of not only molesting young boys but fathering a number of children through innumerable women. The reason why Pope John Paul II was disapproved was for obstructing investigation in both these cases. In fact he had been criticized for promoting those individuals who had sex abuse cases pending against them.

Covering up of these cases have been considered to be worse than the crime itself. Cardinal Ratzinger under the auspices of Pope John Paul II had written a letter stating that all sex abuse cases in the Catholic Church be sent to his department and be subject to pontifical secrecy. He had also tried to persuade the Pope to bring them to book, but his opponents in the Vatican managed to block any further enquiry into the issue. In the words of the Present Pope Benedict XVI, ‘the other side had won’.

When the child abuse cases in the Catholic Church had first come to light, the Pope had an acceptable ‘bad apple’ explanation to provide. He said that even as priests some brothers are afflicted by sins that betray the grace of ordination. It is because of these few bad cases that the other brothers, who are conducting their office in the most virtuous manner, with honesty and integrity which sometimes result in heroic self sacrifice, are also tarnished. Although he showed his concern and sympathy to the victims and their families, he called upon the rest to embrace the ‘mysterium crucis’ and commit more fully to the search of holiness.

While H.H Groer was removed as Arch Bishop of Vienna in 1995, Pope Benedict finally managed to oust Maciel in 2006. Further investigations have proved that Maciel had sent pots of money to buy support in the Vatican.

One can give many reasons as to why Pope John Paul II had brushed all this rubbish under the Vatican carpet. It may be that he did not want the people in general to loose their faith on the Church, or it could also be that he believed that some (not all) of these cases were made to frame people in high Vatican offices. Whatever the excuse may be, people will question him for not dealing with these perverts in strict hands. History will show that it was actually Pope Benedict XVI and not Pope John Paul II who had initiated ‘purification’ of the Church.

Pope John Paul II and the Sex Abuse Case (http://pope-john-paulii.com/pope-john-paul-iiand-thesex-abuse-case/)

The Cardinals

1. CARDINAL TIMOTHY DOLAN:From failing to report direct admissions from abusive priests, to actively lobbying against reforming statutes of limitations on child sexual abuse cases in Wisconsin. The archbishop’s track record is consistent with the Catholic Church’s record of covering up child sex abuse allegations.First we have the case of Priest Franklyn W. Becker. Among the documents submitted in support a complaint presented to the ICC by the Center for Constitutional Rights and Survivors Network for those Abused by Priests, are letters between Dolan and then-Cardinal Ratzinger concerning Father Franklyn Becker.Becker was diagnosed as a pedophile as early as 1983 when serving in Milwaukee and, though the archdiocese of Milwaukee knew he continued to re-offend, Becker was nonetheless allowed to continue to work in several parishes. It was only when Becker was arrested in California in 2003 for the sexual assault of a child that Dolan wrote to Ratzinger requesting that Becker be defrocked.Ratzinger’s office replied that Dolan should inquire whether Becker would voluntarily request his own defrocking rather than be laicized involuntarily by the Vatican.A 2003 letter from then-Milwaukee Archbishop Timothy Dolan shows he was more concerned about the church’s reputation than the actions of an abusive priest. Dolan wrote the letter to then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger in May 2003, asking that Becker be defrocked after allegations of repeated sexual abuse of children that dated back to

at least 1970. Dolan wrote the letter about two weeks after Becker was arrested in California for an alleged sexual assault there in the 1970s.Dolan, who became Milwaukee’s archbishop in June 2002, wrote that a trial and possible civil lawsuits “make the potential for true scandal very real.” n the letter, Dolan said Becker was diagnosed as an “impulsive pedophile” in 1983.After another allegation, a psychological assessment was again done in 1996 that indicated “the potential for future recurrence of past behavior existed,” according to Dolan’s letter.Dolan became archbishop 11 months before he asked that Becker be defrocked and it took the Vatican another 1 1/2 years to defrock Becker. Claims have been made that Dolan only took action because of Becker’s arrest. Clergy Cases I & III, JCCP 4286 and 4359, June 18, 2007 (Facts concerning former priest Franklyn Becker of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee demonstrates that he has dangerous propensities to harm children. In sworn testimony, Becker testified about his attraction to boys, his interest in the Man/Boy Love Association, his leanings toward being attracted to post pubescent boys and that he gave names of people to the Archdiocese that might come forward with allegations. (Becker’s sworn statement taken August 7, 2006 at pgs. 77, 80, 82, and 87.)).Next we have the case of Harlem pastor Msgr. Wallace A. Harris, Dolan’s handling of child sex abuse cases has not changed since his Milwaukee and St. Louis days. In 2010, Harris, who had been accused of sexually assaulting more than 10 boys, was allowed to step down under a false pretense. Dolan, who by this time was already Archbishop of New York, quietly let him do so without informing the authorities or warning parishioners. More than a year and a half after the fact, the Vatican admonished him to live “a life of prayer and penance.” Due to the statute of limitations in New York, Harris has avoided criminal charges. Harris, a one-time possible candidate for bishop, was accused by an NYPD officer and nine other men of molesting them while they were attending Cathedral Preparatory Seminary. Archbishop Timothy Dolan quietly let Msgr. Wallace A. Harris, resign from his Harlem parish and left the impression that Harris is stepping aside because of alleged health problems. The first man to reveal having been violated by Harris is a former police officer, Eric Crumbley. Crumbley is now a minister and he disclosed his name when he stepped forward.Then you have Cardinal Timothy Dolan accused of moving money around to avoid paying on suits: A Wisconsin lawyer representing victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy says he suspects that New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan hid $130 million in order to avoid paying molestation settlements. Prior to his present assignment, Dolan was Archbishop of Milwaukee. The lawyer, Jeffrey R. Anderson, who represents clients in 23 lawsuits against the Milwaukee Archdiocese, said $75 million disappeared from the church’s investments in 2005. He said that $55 million more that had previously been unaccounted for appeared in a cemetery trust in 2008, and that the archdiocese claimed that money in that fund was protected by state law and could not be used for payouts. In an interview on Sunday, Mr. Anderson said that the first transfer coincided with a 2005 ruling by the Wisconsin Supreme Court that allowed abuse lawsuits to proceed despite a statute of limitations. He said the second transfer occurred around the time of a similar ruling in 2007. Archbishop Dolan led the Archdiocese of Milwaukee from 2002 to 2009, when he was chosen to lead the Archdiocese of New York.Lastly we have proof of Dolans true

feelings towards victims and the statue of limitations he fights so hard against changes made to it. When New York sought to end the one year statue of limitations against child sex abuse, Cardinal Dolan cried about it. Dolan explained that he wanted to keep the statute of limitations for child sex abuse victims to one-year, because if the church gets sued, “The perpetrators don’t suffer. There’s no burden on them. What suffers are the services and the ministries of the apostolates that we’re doing now. Because where does the money come from? So the bishops of 30 years ago that allegedly may have reassigned abusers, they don’t suffer. They’re dead. So the people that suffer are those who are being served right now by the church. We feel that’s a terribly unjust burden.” This statement alone shows that Cardinal Timothy Dolan does not care one bit about the suffering of the abused or the unjust burden they carry. This statement shows that Cardinal Timothy Dolan cares more about the suffering and unjust burdens the Roman Catholic Church will face if these statue of limitations are changed so victims can finally seek justice against those who harmed them and those who covered up these crimes.

2. CARDINAL BERNARD LAW:THE CASE OF PAUL SHANLEYCardinal Bernard F. Law, the oncepowerful archbishop of Boston whose support has been eroding for months, suffered serious damage to his credibility yesterday with the release of hundreds of documents showing that he repeatedly and knowingly allowed an alleged serial pedophile to hold posts that allowed him access to children.No longer can Law say that he didn’t protect priests accused of misconduct:He promoted the Rev. Paul R. Shanley to pastor of a Newton church, gave him a clean bill of health to minister to Catholics in California, and endorsed his running a Catholic hostel in New York despite three decades of sexual abuse allegations against Shanley and documents claiming that Shanley had declared acceptable sex between men and boys and had declared that no sexual practice, including bestiality, causes psychic damage.No longer can Law say that he always acted based on the best medical information available to him.He praised Shanley for ”years of generous and zealous care” and an ”impressive record” after a church-ordered psychiatric evaluation found Shanley to have ”a great deal of psychological pathology.’ ‘Furthermore, Law’s predecessor had referred to Shanley in writing as a ”troubled priest,” and one of Law’s own priests had written ”it is clear to me that Paul Shanley is a sick person.”No longer can Law say that his first priority has been the people priests are ordained to serve—the stacks of documents produced yesterday provide no evidence that Law ever expressed a concern or a kind word about Shanley’s alleged victims, who number at least 26. Documents show that Law’s administration told a California diocese that Shanley was ”a priest in good standing” —even as scandals here made it important for the archdiocese of Boston to hustle Shanley out of town—and show that Law’s only expressed concern about Shanley’s later move to a New York hostel run by nuns was the possibility of negative publicity.In an extraordinary moment of drama, one of Shanley’s alleged victims yesterday called on God to punish Law, nearly 10 years after the cardinal used similar language to call on God to punish the news media for reporting on the case of pedophile priest the Rev. James R. Porter. ”You are a liar; your own documents condemn you. You are a criminal, a

murderer of children; you degrade the office you hold in the church; you are an affront to Jesus Christ; and I call on Almighty God to bear witness to the foulness and treachery of your behavior, the evil you have nurtured and condoned, and the minds, hearts, and souls you have destroyed,” said Arthur Austin. ”Bernard Law, today I am the one who is calling … the wrath of God upon you.” Documents show the archdiocese’s shuffling of serial pedophile John J. Geoghan was not an anomaly. And the records find few heroes among church leaders—three cardinals of Boston, and multiple bishops, were aware of Shanley’s sickness, and yet each allowed him to continue working with children, despite complaints from a priest, inquiries by concerned nuns, allegations by laypeople, and a negative psychological diagnosis. Over and over, high church officials, including Law, treated Shanley with kindness and sympathy.THE CASE OF REV GOEGHAN:At Blessed Sacrament in Saugus 1962-1966 The Rev. Anthony Benzevich reportedly tells church officials that Geoghan brings boys into his bedroom. Benzevich later denies it. In 1995, Geoghan admits molesting four boys over 2 1/2 years while at Blessed Sacrament in Saugus.About 1968 Hingham father complains to church authorities that he caught Geoghan molesting his son, one of several accusations that emerged from St. Paul’s.

3. CARDINAL DONALD WILLIAM WUERL: Cardinal Donald Wuerl participated in many instances of covering up for pedophile priests. from the link http://www.donaldwuerl.com (http://www.donaldwuerl.com)THE CASE OF FATHER DONALD J SOTAK:

Donald J. Sotak. His assignments included headmaster posts at South Side Catholic and Canevin High Schools, as well as the pastor posts ofSaint Francis Xavier in the North Side of Pittsburgh and Saint Joseph’s Parish in Natrona Heights. This also included an assistant pastor post in Mckeesport. Sotak died in 2004. During the celebration of the 40th anniversary of his ordination, in 2002, the parish church that was to hold the celebration was ever so coincidentally vandalized. Were the vandals, by any chance, making a deliberate statement in the vandalizing?Accusation: Full blown physical assault, to the tune of either attempted invasive contact or successful invasive contact. The accuser alleged thathe was knocked unconscious during the conflagration which, accordingto him, was an intense altercation. He wasn’t sure what actually happened while he was unconscious.The alleged circumstance surrounding alleged assault: Donald Sotak’s accuser alleges that the assault took place after a dinner outing. The purpose of the dinner was to talk about the young man chances of achieving a vocation to the priesthood. The alleged assault took place after Fr. Sotak allegedly asked the gentleman very personal preference questions.In review: The accuser originally asked Sotak for vocational guidance, in the hope to receive assistance in entering a seminary, should he finally decide to pursue a vocation to the priesthood. They went to dinner, to discuss the matter. After dinner came the alleged altercation.Age of Accuser at the time of the alleged assault: 19, 20, or so.The following is alleged by Fr. Donald Sotak’s credible accuser:– The alleged assault took place during the tenure of Pittsburgh diocesan bishop, Vincent Leonard, in the mid 1970s. – Sotak was immediately reported to Pittsburgh diocesan personnel, and the response was to quickly move Sotak to a new domicile. – The accuser joined the

Pittsburgh seminary in the 1980s, eventually being ordained a deacon. Donald Wuerl was the rector of the diocesan seminary at the time. Then Wuerl was ordained a bishop. In the beginning of 1988 Wuerl was assigned to Pittsburgh.- Sotak’s accuser made his way to the diaconate, one step away from the priesthood. Yet, he was instructed by a vocation director that he was to tell people that he voluntarily delayed his ordination. Sotak’s accuser stated that the vocation director told him that he was to either sign that he voluntarily delayed his ordination or else “they” would dig-up some excuse to have his ordination delayed. Thus is described typical whistle blower retaliation.- The accuser had a window view to the parking garage, where he would allegedly see Wuerl and a certain young man here and a certain young man there leave alone with Wuerl and later come back … mostly after classes which were held at the nearby Catholic University. That university is called Duquesne.- A note of fact: Donald Wuerl became an auxiliary bishop in 1986 and was eventually sent to Seattle Washington, concerning the Hunthausen controversy. He was next assigned to the Pittsburgh diocese in 1988.- It was under Wuerl when Sotak’s accuser was allegedly sent to a Philadelphia clinic for a psychological assessment. The alleged diagnosis was that the deacon was credible and suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Being diagnosed with PTSD augmented an accuser’s credibility.- The Pittsburgh diocesan personnel refused to accept the final assessment of the Philadelphia clinic. They were apparently in search of an official sheet of paper which would state something differently about Sotak’s accuser. So, they demanded that Sotak’s accuser go for yet another psychological assessment in St. Louis or Maryland.Sotak’s accuser assumed that Wuerl was controlling his personnel on puppet strings and was the person who ultimately wanted an official sheet of paper stating something other than what was stated by the Philly clinic. This would mean that Wuerl was allegedly looking to play a game with loaded dice and a stacked deck of cards.- It was at that point in time when Fr. Sotak’s accuser departed from diocesan ministry. Things had gotten far too Orwellian for him. He stated that he literally feared that he was going to be drugged into a catatonic state. He remembers his time of exit being 1994. This was during the musical chairs cover-up of a Fr Edward Huff. This was also the time when the Cipolla case was underway at the highest court of the Vatican. This was also shortly before James Torquato became Wuerl’s personal secretary. Incidentally, Sotak’s accuser remembers Torquato at the seminary. According to him, Torquato cow-towed to authority, as if to be seeking promotion points. The actual expression used to describe Torquato was “brown noser.”The Sotak case, being that it was allegedly covered-up from the middle 1970’s to the end of 2011, would easily qualify as Cardinal Wuerl’s sixth simultaneous cover-up during the same year; the year being 1988.Additionally alleged by the accuser was that – The diocese’s Fr. Charles Bober, STD, sent a letter to Sotak’s accuser, notifying him that he would get no stipend from the diocese. The accuser then had recourse to aFr. Bob Guay, and accordingto him, he has been getting his $700 monthly stipend, even into the Year 2012. He stated that he didn’t get a check for January 2013. Such checks read, “For services rendered,” incidentally – The accuser also stated that the letter from the previously mentioned former vocation director of the Diocese of Pittsburgh sounded almost like a damning excommunication letter. There was no Peace of Christ

within it, to say the least . . . at least according to Sotak’s accuser.– During a meeting, diocesan personnel bragged to Sotak’s accuser that they had an excellent policy for handling clergy abuse victims. Yet, they said that the policy did NOT apply to Sotak’s accuser, because he was a deacon. HOWEVER, the alleged assault took place when Fr. Sotak’s accuser was a layman –civilian – parishioner. – Even in 2002, when Wuerl finally suspended several priests who had long since been attached to credible sex abuse allegations, he permitted Sotak to stay at his post.Years later, Sotak’s accuser was interviewed by Randy Engel. Thesubject matter was to be kept from the public, out of fear of retaliation against the accuser. This is important to note, because it shows that the accusations against Sotak is not something recently conjured. The accusation has been longstanding. I knew of the fact that there was a Father Sotak accused of having assaulted a certain person, by name, for years. Thus, these accusations are NOT new inventions.- In fact, while Sotak’s accuser was at another seminary, he was allegedly told by one of the faculty priests that Sotak alleged had other complaints against him. Then, suddenly, the complaints of other young men was no longer in the record … allegedly.

THE CASE OF FATHER JAMES TORQUATO:

Timeline The physically invasive actions of Wuerl’s former secretary occurred from 1990 to the middle of 1997. At least one of the priest’s homosexual antics took place in Wuerl’s Warwick Terrace residence. The predatory conduct actually didn’t end until a final ploy was committed during the 1997-1998 Christmas season. As far as concerns the retaliatory conduct, it occurred in 1998 and 1999. When the homosexual was reported, he was the president of one of the Pittsburgh diocesan high schools. Wuerl appointed him to that school in 1996. The priest was reported for long-term homosexual conduct in 1998.

The Priest Approached his Prey First Concerning the young man who was targeted by Wuerl’s former secretary, he was first approached by the priest on the steps of a church, when the young gentleman was a still teenager. The mewly ordained priest presented himself as an undefined type of sociology researcher, claiming that he was seeking to learn what draws young people to church. The bottom line is that the young gentleman did not approach the priest first. This was 1990.

An Outline of the Priest’s Conduct The priest’s conduct comprised a physically invasive form of sexual harassment that was accompanied by a misrepresentation as fraudulent as a wolf in shepherd’s clothing. It consisted in the priest preying on a situation that will not be detailed herein, and it involved the modus operandi reported by the 2002 media as the one commonly used by predators.

A Diplomatic Way of Describing it There are forms of sexual harassment which consist in episodes of one-way contact that repeatedly result in the harassed person either diplomatically pushing

away the harasser or moving away from him. Sexual harassment is not limited to verbal aggression. That is to say, there are forms of sexual harassment where a priest does not keep his hands to himself. Predatory cases are sometimes cloaked under the pretense of spiritual direction, where aggression is disguised behind authoritarian voice patterns. These types of cases don’t involve gullible prey. Rather, they are marked by a priest’s badgering of his intended target, for the sole purpose of achieving physical contact. They involve a priest abusing his power and influence, in creating the illusion that he is speaking in the name of God and Vatican II, when he is doing nothing more than orchestrating an intrusion. The authoritarian pretense is merely the first stage of the ploy.

That which Constitutes Predatory Conduct and Abusive Acts It’s not required for a cleric to be a serial rapist, in order for him to constitute a predator. He simply has to engage in conduct that consists in him targeting an individual and then manipulating ways to physically intrude on the targeted prey in as severe a degree as he can, in his quest to consummate his lusts. It consists in a priest using a person as “an object of sexual gratification.”

Donald Wuerl’s Sought-for Definition of Sexual Abuse The Pittsburgh Post Gazette reported on October 27, 2002 that Wuerl “fought for the broad meaning of sexual abuse.” The same thing was reported by the same newspaper in slightly more detail, on May 29, 2003. Pursuant to Wuerl’s sought-for definition, the acts of his former secretary constituted sexual abuse.

Predatorship Includes Taking Advantage of Persons who Underwent Nightmarish Tragedy A predatory priest can easily prey upon a traumatized person, by presenting himself as an intervening lifesaver, when in fact, he is nothing more than a disingenuous wolf. This constitutes the abuse of an impaired person, being that a traumatized state is a state of impairment. If the priest is told about a volatile home environment, he can one day use knowledge of it against his victim, in manipulating the more violent persons in the environment to attack his prey for him. It consists in the priest using knowledge that was confidentially entrusted to him by his victim, in order to bring additional harm to that victim. It consists in the betrayal of trust.

The Personal Mail is the Tale of the Tape Several pieces of the previously mentioned mail sufficiently constitute the tale of the tape. They erase any doubt as to the motives, mindset, emotionality, and psychosexual orientation of Wuerl’s former personal secretary. They also prove that the former secretary was well aware that his targeted prey was suffering greatly in his personal life.

The Most Convincing Witness Account Given by the Accuser To start, the name of the former secretary accused of physically intrusive sexual harassment is Father James Torquato. Secondly, Torquato’s accuser claimed to have been a visitor at Wuerl’s Warwick Terrace residence, during the time when Torquato also lived there. Now, being that no third person ever saw Torquato’s

accuser enter or leave Wuerl’s home, as far as is known. So, how would anyone know that Torquato’s accuser was telling the truth? ANS: He was able to describe the interior of Wuerl’s home, and the details of his description was undeniably convincing.

In a notarized letter sent to Donald Wuerl in February 1998, Torquato’s accuser described Donald Wuerl’s Warwick Terrace home as follows:

“Furthermore, in order to show you that I am not telling you a falsehood, let me describe your Warwick Terrace home, in order to show you that I was at least there. Now, remember that Fr. Torquato would usher me in that house, as if he didn’t want anyone to see me. Anyway, the carpeting in Fr. Torquato’s room was orange. Whenever I got into the elevator, there was some kind of pole-shaped extension which you could accidentally hit with your head, if you weren’t looking at what you’re doing. He had shelves with a lot of books. He had a lot of CD’s. The bathroom was definitely to the right when you walked in. The shower had sliding doors. There were several icons on stands and on the shelves. My favorite one was the one of Jesus as an adult, with a solemn [perhaps sad expression on his face.] The kitchen sink reminds you of a school cafeteria’s sink. Fr. Torquato mentioned that the picture above the fireplace, in the living room, fell down by itself. He also told me that a squirrel infiltrated the house, and that you told him to go get it. I remember hard wood floors and high ceilings.“

The most convincing part of the account was mention of the orange carpeting and the poleshaped extension in the elevator by “which you could accidentally hit with your head, if you weren’t looking at what you’re doing.” Mention of the picture above the fireplace which mysteriously fell, and mention of the infiltration of a squirrel into Wuerl’s Warwick Terrace residence were the other features that gave Torquato’s accuser credibility. The addition of the descriptive eyewitness account, the cards, the letters, and the post marked envelopes mailed by Torquato to his future accuser is what makes his accuser convincingly credible.

As far as goes the allegation of retaliatory conduct, its most pertinent piece of evidence was the tape recording of the harassment imposed upon Torquato’s accuser the evening after the second demand letter was dropped off at the Pittsburgh diocesan building. The previously mentioned police department citizen’s report form helps to establish credibility, also.

In addition, there was another person caught in the middle of that retaliation. He constitutes a corroborating witness. That person is the author of this entire website. http://www.donaldwuerl.com (http://www.donaldwuerl.com)

The additional person caught in the middle of the Torquato retaliation once had a medium security clearance from the Pennsylvania Dept of Corrections, as well as the security clearance needed to carry a concealed firearm.

This person also received the security clearances required to be a licensed Pennsylvania insurance agent. Now, the insurance clearances requires reasonably proving the person’s honesty. The clearance involved for concealed weapons licensing requires reasonable evidence that the applicant is safe and temperate. In addition, Father Torquato’s accuser had his share of security clearances, being that he was a care taker of mentally disabled adults. Therefore, this case is one where the accuser of the alleged invasive homosexual antics is not lacking in credibility, where the witness to both waves of retaliation is not lacking credibility. The fact that Fr. James Torquato immediately ensued with a retaliation gave credence to the allegation that he committed long-term and physically intrusive sexual harassment. The retaliation was merely an extension of his unruly and invasive acts of physical sexual harassment. He did not have temperance. Thus, he didn’t have the temperance to keep composed when he learned that he was reported to Wuerl. The invasive sexual harassment temperament and the retaliatory temperament were one and the same.

The Former Personal Secretary’s Whereabouts At the time of this writing, Wuerl’s former personal secretary is in active ministry. He’s the pastor of a parish in Carrick, Pennsylvania, despite the fact that his retaliatory conduct has already proved him to be a danger to others. Donald Wuerl, in having let the retaliations cause jeopardy and achieve damaging effects, proved himself to be a far greater danger to others. It was equivalent to having reported a fire to the fire marshal, only to watch, shortly thereafter, the arrival of dutiful personnel armed with flame throwers.

The Office of Priestly Formation, formerly called the Office of the Training for the Priesthood Cardinal Wuerl has been influential in a department known as “the Office of Priestly Formation.” In other lands and at other times it has been known as the Office for the Training for the Priesthood. The title, “priestly formation,” is an embarrassingly gay sounding title which gives the impression that seminarians are being fitted into a stylish, cosmetic, and elitist motif. That is to say, the title, “priestly formation” in no way instills images of naturally inclined men training for positions of service to God and mankind. Concerning this, it is acknowledged that the church in America has been plagued with an infestation unnaturally inclined seminarians, as well as active Sodomites for priests, during the years when Wuerl was a major contributor to the Office of Priestly Formation. Wuerl was installed at the Pittsburgh diocese on February 12, 1988, and his former secretary was ordained on July 1, 1989. This means that the abusive priest was ordained under Wuerl’s watch. The abusive priest, therefore, is a sample of Donald Wuerl’s version of “priestly forming.” Take note that I did not say, “alleged,” when describing Torquato as abusive. I am a witness that he is definitely abused his power. He caused more than one of us great suffering.

Rewarded with a National Executive Position in the Office of “Priestly Formation” The priest in charge of investigating Donald Wuerl’s former secretary, in 1998, became the Executive Director of the Secretariat for Vocations & Priestly Formation, in 1999. This resulted in him being stationed at the headquarters of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. He’s a Pittsburgh diocesan priest who later became a chaplain to Benedict XVI, on June 29, 2006. In 2009, he was then appointed to be the Bishop of Anchorage Alaska.Whenever we sent communiqués to either his office or to Donald Wuerl’s office, either a new harassment would ensue or an ongoing retaliation would intensify.

The Tally Sheet, Stated for the Record The scorecard goes as follows: One person was the target of the priest’s aggression. Another person saw to it that the accused priest would be reported. Three persons got caught in the middle of the first wave of retaliatory conduct. Two persons then got caught in the second wave. In the process, a big bad wolf of collective resources eventually blew down three houses. Of the three persons caught in the retaliations, one now lives in a Southern state, one of them moved to an American state west of the one where Wuerl’s former diocese is located, and the other person’s location will be kept entirely undisclosed.

Lower & Upper Respiratory Disease Is Involved: One of the three person’s caught in the Pittsburgh diocese’s retaliations suffers from a severe form of asthma, central sleep apnea (where all breathing stops during sleep), and an upper-respiratory disease. Objective medical findings entered into his medical records have included:

1] increased AP diameter

(This is the barrel chest commonly found in advanced cases of emphysema and in cases of chronic asthma.) 2] turbinate swelling.

3] bilateral wheezing.

4] prolonged expiratory phase.

5] upper respiratory erythema (redness).

6] exorbitant provocation test results.

7] objective skin whealing, during placebo-controlled skin testing, while testing negative for the placebo

Additional evidentiary support includes signed and notarized lay witness testimony of persons who had witnessed him ill. “Choking” was used in more than one witness account which was accepted as evidence in the gentleman’s disability case. He was adjudged as having a full and severe physical disability, years ago. The disability has included numerous occasions of profuse dry heaving that even resulted in cringing chest and bicep pain. There have also been headaches so severe that the temples and cheekbones would feel bruised even the day after a headache subsided. The pertinence in mentioning this is that the following narration illustrates the ruthless

indifference of Wuerl andhis personnel toward the physically impaired. This is all the more pertinent, being that, in the medical records ofthe asthmatic retaliation victim is the phrase, “life threatening illness.” The physician who entered it into his records was Ivy League trained. A Civil Action: Legal action was taken, and the following account was made known to three levels of the United States judiciary. This included the level of the United States Supreme Court, in a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari and three supplemental briefs. The Supreme Court documents were filed in forma pauperis by a clerk of court there in 2002. The lawsuit was filed Pro Se in district court, in March 2000. To file Pro Se means to file without an attorney. Being admitted to a court in forma pauperis means that you were too poor to pay the filing fee. The evidence-gathering, the involved hours at studying American law, and the all the writing was entirely for naught. All that work was for nothing.

Ever so coincidentally, as soon as the lawsuit was filed, all harassment and retaliatory conduct ceased. However, diversionary press release tactics resumed, along with their slight-of-hand deceptions. Needless to say, the coverup remained on course.

The Supreme Court docket number was 01-10392 (tel:01-10392).

The Citation number is 537 U.S. 843, dated October 7, 2002.

To whom it might one day come to concern, it is requested that you omit the name of the primary petitioner, being that he already suffered more than enough in life. He’s the one whose name appears first on the docket sheets.

The Pointless Venue of Last Recourse The civil court system was the venue of last recourse, being that church officials would neither respond in writing nor respond by verbal communication to a single item sent to them after March 1998. This included correspondence sent to officials in Washington, DC and in Vatican City. However, it was promised to the de facto whistle blower, during March of 1998, directly to his face, that someone would get back to him. None the less, there is a huge difference between getting back to someone and getting back at someone.

The Cardinal Refused to Help Even when communications were sent to church authorities by third parties, there would still be no response, except in one instance. In that instance, a cardinal responded to a New Jersey woman who had written to himabout Wuerl. The only message she sent, concerning the cardinal, was that he said that he will not help. Shealso stated that he was a “very prominent cardinal at the Vatican.”

The woman’s identity was kept secret for as long as she was alive. She was Monica Zimmer, a free lance writer and animation artist who died suddenly in her New Jersey home, on August 2nd, 2008. She was 45 years of age at the time of her death. Her motive for reporting Wuerl, in 1999, was to make sure that he would not be appointed archbishop of New York.

The Papal Nuncio Played “Pass the Buck” During the first wave of retaliatory conduct (in 1998), a phone call was placed to the Papal Nuncio in Washington. He said that he would contact the Bishop of Pittsburgh about the matter, assuring that the bishop, would take care things. Wuerl did nothing but let the course of events stay on course. Contracting Wuerl was like contacting the fox attacking the chicken coup.

The Federal Court Case’s Added Feature: The case also included the issue of clerics committing cowardice in refusing to speak out and counter certain institutionalized sins, in fear of loosing tax exempt status, taxpayer funded income (in the form of government social service contracts, government benefits, and government’s favor in general. This involves those sins to which Catholics give their cooperation at the workplace and marketplace. This feature of the lawsuit concerned Donald Wuerl’s cowardly refusal to grant either an apostolate or “a church approved initiative” dedicated to ending Catholic’s cooperation with social sin. Such a thing used to be called a Catholic Action Guild, Getting no assistance from one’s bishop, in matters of salvation, under a feeling of compulsion from the government, is a violation of one’s religious rights. The allegation was that Wuerl feared loosing tax-exempt status and/or government funding, he blocked Catholics of their right to observe their religious duties. Under the Federal doctrine of “Compulsion,” Wuerl blocked civil rights under the color of law. Page 3 of this website the topic.

LBJ’S Legacy was Partly Involved: The aforementioned feature of the lawsuit concerned, in part, a law that LBJ succeeded in getting passed while he was a senator for the State of Texas. That law concerns the way in which a religion can loose its tax exempt status. Incidentally, LBJ stands for Lyndon Baines Johnson, the Vietnam War president who did not run for reelection. The aforementioned law was merely a ploy of LBJ, to beat his political opponent, Dudley Dougherty, in the 1954 senatorial election. Mr. Dougherty was receiving pivotal and open support from certain religious entities until the law that LBJ introduced on the senate floor was enacted. LBJ then won the 1954 election. This ploy resulted in LBJ becoming Vice President of the United States. This ploy resulted in LBJ becoming president in 1963. This ploy resulted in the deaths of 58,000 Americans in Vietnam.

Proof that it was a Determinant in Wuerl’s Decision Making Process: There is evidence that the fear of loosing tax-exempt status and taxpayer funded government contract dollars has repeatedly been a factor in Wuerl’s decision making process. Proof is found in a public statement that he once issued. Wuerl once stated that he will not deny holy communion to any influential politician committed to the proliferation of a certain mortal sin, because, according to Donald Wuerl, denying holy communion to such a politician could have “national ramifications.” Needless to say, this apparently refers to the Catholic Church’s tax-exempt status, as well as its taxpayer funded operations. For a sum of money that far exceeds thirty pieces of silver, Wuerl would permit Christ to be sacrileged, in Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, near and at consecrated altars. Incidentally, at the time of Christ, 30 pieces of silver was the purchase price of a slave.

Religions and Taxpayer-funded Income: Religions in America can acquire ample amounts of taxpayer dollars via government contract social services, government funded medical services, government funded tuition financing, and even free food from a state’s Cooperative Extension Society. What Donald Wuerl called “Charities” was nothing more than income-bearing and taxpayer funded programs. Each participating Catholic institutions were literally government contractors. In as much, getting payed for activities called charities negates the meaning of charity, especially when funded by taxpayers who get no credit for their contributions.

Concerning this, Donald Wuerl was recently called “a political parasite.” Such a phrase is synonymous with “taxpayer leech.” This factor becomes amplified in the face of a tremendously large national debt.

Wuerl’s Cooperation, Concerning a Specific Crime Against Humanity: The lawsuit also sought to address Wuerl’s cooperation in a crime against humanity that which involves sweatshop profiteering and other types of foreign slave labor profiteering. This additionally involves those types of labor that have been imposed upon foreign child workers in recent years. This complicity, therefore, envelopes Wuerl in an aura of razor wire.

As a reminder, when imported slave labor merchandise reaches your home, your place of work, and your person, then you are involved. You are involved much the same way as is a person who receives stolen property. But, in this case, it’s more than a matter of stolen property. It is a matter of stolen lives, wasted away in the burden of going through life without a livable wage. You are also involved in this crime if you work for an employer who is engaged in this practice. You’re even involved if you invest in a corporation that profits from this practice.

This Cooperation is Attached to a Blatant Contradiction: The great contradiction about Wuerl is that he was heralded the lionhearted protector of children. However, he has been indifferent toward a corporate crime that victimizes children more frequently than does the predatorship of priests who should never have been ordained in the first place. Apparently, Wuerl believes that there should be a slave class, to serve him and other people in his financial echelon. Incidentally, he is a diocesan priest by ordination. Pittsburgh diocesan priests, for as long as I’ve known, did not take vows of poverty.

This Cooperation Started to Backfire on Wuerl, in a Congressional Near-Hit: This is addressed in the following page. In addition, there is yet another social sin about which Wuerl has been entirely silent. It, too, is covered on the following page.

Economic Results: The individual who saw to it that Wuerl’s former secretary would be reported had an R1 credit rating (the highest) at the start of December 1997. His credit card debt was only $300 at the time. Yet, shortly after the diocesan retaliations of 1998, his credit card debt had

risen to $8,900. Things became more tragic, and as time progressed, he was forced into bankruptcy court. Meanwhile, the effeminate narcissist, Donald Wuerl, was paraded throughout town, masquarading as an angel of light. He did so with the help of the pathologically bland Pittsburgh Gazette writer, Ann Rodgers. At the time, she was known as Ann Rodgers-Melnick.

The End of Events: This series of events ended in a three degree Celsius night of snowfall, as the individual who saw to the reporting of Wuerl’s former secretary was left to sleep in a borrowed pick-up that had to be returned the following day. Within two weeks, he was given means of transportation to the deep south, along with lodging when he would get there.

Wuerl would then go on to be praised on local television as a “holy, holy, man.” Having already been painted as a hero by the LA Times and the New York Times, he would soon become the grand marshal of a St. Patrick’s Day parade, as if he were an untold hero. Former Pittsburgh Steeler, L.C. Greenwood, would then be used to play the role of dupe, in publicly encouraging tiny Donald Wuerl to be patient for the day when he will be appointed cardinal and made an automatic candidate for the papacy.

It’s reasonable to assume that L.C. Greenwood was unknowingly recruited for the propaganda task. It is equally reasonable to assume that he was chosen because he has yet to be elected into the NFL Hall of Fame, despite four Super Bowl rings and tremendous success as a defensive end. Therefore, Wuerl was making himself an equal to L.C., in inferring that he deserves to be a cardinal as much as L.C. deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

The irony to Wuerl being chosen the Saint Patrick’s Day grand marshal consists in the fact that the whistle blower who endured the retaliations that Wuerl easily could have stopped was the one named after the patron saint of Ireland. Needless to say and after the damage was done, the whistle blower was tossed aside as worthless insignificance, in preference for a homosexual priest ordained by Wuerl.

The Destruction of One’s Faith in Divine Providence

— written by the individual who trusted Wuerl enough to see to it that James Torquato would be reported to him, so done out of a sense of conscience.Whatever you let happen to one person, you are willing to let happen to all others, at least in the same social strata. That which Donald Wuerl let happen to me and two other individuals (after I assisted a young adult male in reporting an abusive priest) is that which he will let happen to you, if you are a part of the common citizenry and cannot help the tiny and notably effeminate Donald Wuerl rise to ultimate power. This includes the harassment, the economic terrorism, and the ensuing economic loss. This includes the telephone threat, the physical pursuit, and the diversionary press release tactics. This also includes a failed attempt to frame a

diocesan priest’s accuser for a theft that he was unable to have committed. This equally included the setting of the stage for am awkward nighttime encounter which almost turned into a full scale neighborhood brawl.This includes the incitements that did result in a nighttime confrontation and which could have resulted in a full scale neighborhood brawl. Do not be deceived into thinking that tiny Donald Wuerl would ever let you or anyone else be spared of that which we were not, unless he can use you for either advancement in status or financial gain.For the Record, it was an Act of Conscience

: The reporting of the homosexual priest was an act of conscience, being that there is such a thing as a sin of negligence by which you will have to answer to God and to any irate parent who might one day ask you why you kept silent about a priest of whom you knew to be a predator. In light of this, know that the efforts I made for the sake of the young adult male are the same efforts I would have made for your sake. Actually, those efforts were made for your sake. However, the effort was to no avail.The Local Media Contributed to the Deception: The other reason why I assisted in having the offending priest reported was because of the press releases which assured the public that Donald Wuerl could be trusted. Thus, Ann Rodgers is one of the reasons why I suffered so much.

This is because, if I only knew how incredibly heartless and corrupt the notably effeminate Wuerl was, I would have told Torquato’s accuser to be silent, lest Wuerl give Torquato the gree light to cause futher torment.

When the Priest First Approached the Young Adult Male, He Was Approaching a Teenager who Was Minding His Own Business: As was previously mentioned, Wuerl’s former secretary approached the young man first, while the young man was still a teenager. As was also previously mentioned, the guiseunder which the priest approached the young man was that of a vague type of sociology researcher. The priest’s claim was that he was seeking to learn what draws young people to church.The young man was sitting on the steps of a church, watching people come out of Mass when the priest first approached him. The priest then invited him to brunch. Without getting into details, the priest eventually said that there was “a lot of work to be done” for the young man’s spiritual well being.

The Retaliation Against a Third Party Whom I Didn’t Even Know Existed at the Start of All This: We didn’t tell any member of the young man’s family about the abusive priest, and we certainly didn’t tell any family member that we reported the priest to Wuerl. Someone else brought the young gentleman’s family into this matter, and it was a violation of privacy to have done so. After all, the young man was the age of majority and no one was his legal guardian. The invasion of privacy would result surrogate harassment within a short period of time. Someone in the diocese decided to become a puppeteer.You see, an uncle of Torquato’s accuser had business accounts

with Wuerl’s diocese, and according to an intercepted communication, the income that the uncle received from those accounts was significant enough to cause a brutal impact if they were to be suddenly terminated. Now, Wuerl’s former secretary never mentioned to his prey that he gave business to one of the young man’s uncle. None the less, the business accounts would soon be used as a vehicle for retaliation. Those accounts would come to be terminated in 1998.

The Time line: The complaint against Wuerl’s former personal secretary was mailed in early January of 1998. Then, a piece of mail, dated January 29, was sent to the victim. It was forwarded to the address that he was using during a sabbatical. That piece of mail was simply a card. There was neither a signature on the card and no a return address on the envelope. The card stated, “{the name of Torquato’s accuser}, call xxx-xxx-xxxx. Urgent.” It said nothing else.

An Invasion of Privacy The invasive feature of that card consisted in the fact that, in his initial correspondence to Wuerl, the accuser of Wuerl’s former secretary asked not to be contacted until the end of February. He was on an eight week sabbatical at the time, and had already experienced viciousness from the Diocese of Pittsburgh regarding another matter. So, he wanted to be spared of any further distress while on his sabbatical.The young man eventually telephoned the number that appeared on the January 29th card, and it turned out to be his uncle. At this point in the narration, it is pertinent to note that the accuser only spoke with his uncle during Holiday gettogethers. That is to say, the young man’s uncle was not in the young man’s daily life, and his uncle was not his confidant. Yet, his uncle would be brought into a very personal matter. Concerning the telephone call from the uncle, he was vague and evasive.

When mid-February came, an investigating priests sent the young man a letter, acknowledging the receipt of his complaint. Then, on March 3, 1998, the primary diocesan investigator sent the victim a letter, asking him to schedule an appointment, so that they could “discuss the matter further.” Ever so coincidentally, the young man never got the letter. So, a follow-up letter was sent to him, certified.

No Acknowledgment of a Demand Letter’s Sending. A Harassment Instead. During that same week, a notarized demand letter from the young man was mailed to the tiny statured Wuerl. In it, the aggrieved accuser asserted his right to financial reparation for sexual harassment, fraudulent misrepresentation, and breach of a spiritual director’s fiduciary duties. However, Wuerl made no acknowledgment of the demand letter’s arrival.It’s assumed that the demand letter arrived within 48 hours of its sending. Well, within 60 hours of its sending the accuser’s uncle physically appeared on the scene. By the time the evening came, the uncle insisted on seeing the young man in person, immediately. So, the two of them met at a family restaurant.

While at the restaurant, the uncle mentioned the name of the abusive priest, and he revealed that he had business accounts with the diocese. He also said, ” Right now, you are in a huge spotlight.”

No Written Acknowledgment of its Second Delivery. A Retaliation, Instead: Being that no one responded to the original demand letter, it was copied and hand delivered to the diocesan building on March 18. This was its second sending, and it was accompanied by a package of photocopied evidence. The letter that accompanied the evidence literally read, “Test it for cracks.”

The Result of the Second Delivery: Concerning the demand letter and the accompanying evidence, one of the three following things happened the same day when it was hand delivered to the diocesan building:[1] Either the predatory priest immediately terminated the uncle’s business accounts,

[2] or another member of the diocese terminated them, [3] or the uncle was given an ultimatum by which he was to get his nephew to fade away,under penalty of loosing his business accounts in the very near future.

Tape Recorded EvidenceThat night, an additional piece of evidence came into existence. It was the cassette tape recording of a harassment imposed upon the young man. In it is mention of the business accounts that the uncle had with the diocese, along with their economic pertinence to the accuser’s uncle. The recording ends with the sound of things crashing to the floor and a screen door latch breaking, as the young man literally had to take flight on foot. There was the attempt to take the young man’s tape recording away from him.

That night, the young man called me from a pay phone, asking me to make the 12 mile trip to pick him up. When I arrived, the first thing that I noticed was that his jeans were wet up to the knees. He had taken flight through the woods at night. As a result, I gave him shelter at my apartment, and it became the next destination in the pursuit of him.

Incidentally, according to U.S. federal law, it is legal to record your own conversation, even if no other party to the conversation knows that you are recording it. 18 USC, Chapter 119, Section 2511(2)(d).

The PursuitShortly after that incident, unfriendly forces made their ways into the apartment building where I had been living for years. It was the kind of building where you needed either a key to get into it or a person to open the door for you. The only other option was that of breaking into the building.

An eyewitness account stated that two men were banging on my apartment door with a wooden object, while chanting “{My first name} is going to Hell.” Then came silence. So, a female neighbor went out into the hallway, assuming that the men had exited the building. She was grabbed at the arm, and asked where priest’s accuser was. It was asked in a tone of desperation. You see, there were people who were afraid that Wuerl’s diocese would inflict more retaliation on the accuser’s family members than it had thus far done.

During that time we were elsewhere, keeping one step ahead of the pursuit, unaware of what was happening at the apartment. The original tape recording and the postmarked mail of months and years prior went with me. Copies were kept elsewhere.

Prior to ThatThere were previous phone calls made to my living quarters from a relatively distant area. The theme of those phone calls was: “Back off.” Those calls were eventually followed by a midnight phone call from a complete stranger, traced to a very nearby phone, via * 69. That call was not for me, however. Yet, the caller didn’t dial the wrong number. That was when, in the middle of the night, the predatory priest’s accuser was taken to a prearranged place, along with the original tape recording and other original evidence.

Wuerl Could Have Stopped it with One Phone Call

Wuerl could have stopped the pursuit by means of one phone call, in assuring the pursuers that no retaliation would be imposed upon any member of the victim’s family. Wuerl did not pick up the phone and make the needed call.

In not returning the uncle’s business accounts to him, and in not picking up the phone, in order to stop the pursuit, Wuerl made a de facto ratification of his diocese’s conduct. In not paying restitution for the economic loss that resulted from the retaliation, Wuerl also ratified diocesan conduct.

One of the Pursuers Later Admitted to me that . . .

When the pursuit phase was nearing its end, one of the pursuers confided to me, via telephone, the following: “I would have gone through you to get to {accuser’s name}.”

Understand this to mean “physically through,” and keep in mind that this was stated to an asthmatic who no longer had the health to play Charles Bronson styled games.

The Second Wave of Retaliatory Conduct

During the summer of 1999, Torquato’s accuser had hair down to his shoulders, and his job required him to work every Saturday, in security clearance work which required detailed

accounting of his daily work activites. During that same summer, Torquato was stationed in a part of Pittsburgh different than the one where he had been stationed from 1996 to 1998.

Well, during the summer of 1999, the young man and I went to a magistrate’s office, in order to see if some type of criminal or civil complaint could be filed against Wuerl and his former secretary. Yet, within a few days, a rental shop operator, located in a State park, called the police and accused the long-haired man of theft. In fact, the shop keeper stated that Torquato’s accuser stole rental shop property on a Saturday. The young man was at work at the time he was supposed to taken the property and never returned it. The young man was at work, caring for disabled adults.

The rental shop property was a bicycle, and this accusation would have been just an annoying vexation, except for the fact that the police contacted the young man’s mother, instead of the young man himself. The pertinence is that getting the young man’s family involved made the telephone call more than an annoyance. His family was brought into another matter that should have been directed solely to the young man who lived 15 miles from his mom. In addition, some road bikes and mountain bikes are expensive. None the less, the young adult male was at work the day his was supposed to have stolen the rental property.

The accuser of Donald Wuerl’s former personal secretary was never told the price of the property that he was accused of having stolen. Therefore, he did not know if the accusation constituted a felony, a misdemeanor, a summary offense, or a tort offense. None the less, there are road bikes and mountain bikes that are expensive.

The Shop was Ever so Coincidentally Located near the Recent Home of the Homosexual Predator Priest

The rental shop was ever so coincidentally located near the diocesan high school where Torquato was stationed between 1996 and 1998. The State park where within sat the rental shop was a park reputed as a meeting place for homosexuals. In addition, the shop keepterwho called the police had a flaming homosexual voice. So, needless to say, this caused us to reasonably suspect that the rental shop operator had a personal connection with the homosexual element of the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

The timing of the theft accusation was far too coincidental for us to suspect anything other than it was an orchestrated diocesan ploy, done in retaliation for the young man’s visit to a magistrate’s office, days prior. It served the function of diversionnary tactic, thereby robbing the young man of time that could have been spent in preparing evidence against Donald Wuerl and James Torquato, and then presenting it to law enforcement authorities.

The rental shop operator and the police claimed that the evidence proving the commission of the alleged theft was the accuser’s photo license. It was allegedly left by the young man at the rental shop on the Saturday when he was documented as having been at work. At one time, the accuser did have a driver’s license with a photo of him in a crew cut, but he discovered it missing shortly after Donald Wuerl’s former secretary visited him, at the apartment where he once lived.

The rental shop operator did say that the accuser’s hair was slightly longer than the hair of his crew cut photo, even though the young man had hair down to his shoulders at the time. After Torquato’s eventual accuser discovered his “crew cut photo license” missing, he obtained a replacement, never suspecting that the homosexual priest might have possibly stolen his previous one. Yet, there was a point during the priest’s visit when he had access to the wallet that contained the photo license that would soon thereafter be discovered missing.

They Refused to Produce the Alleged Evidence and then Dropped the Case

When we demanded to see the driver’s license that the rental shop operator claimed to have been given, the police refused to show it to us. In fact, we didn’t even know if the police had a photo license to show us.This was the McCandless Township police; the same police department involved in the Vincentian case mentioned at http://www.awuerlofhurt.com/2012/06/2012-cover-up-allegation.html (http://www.awuerlofhurt.com/2012/06/2012-cover-up-allegation.html)

I am a witness that the McCandless Twp police were extremely uncooperative with Torquato’s accuser. I was standing there, watching it happen.

After our appearance at the police station, and after our demand to see the alleged evidence, nobody bothered us about the accusation again. Now, I did call the rental shop owner, but he screamed at me in his flaming homosexual voice and then hung up on me. To this day, I don’t know if the rental shop operator lied about having the victim’s photo license or if he did have the one that was discovered missing after the predatory priest’s visit to his future accuser’s home.

In addition, if there were a rental agreement shown to the police, what did the signature on it look like? Did it look like a clever forgery of the young man’s handwriting, or was it blatantly forged? Nobody showed us any rental agreement.

The Predator/Harasser/Intruder was Rewarded with a Free Trip to Rome

A Photo License First Discovered Missing Shortly after the Priest Made a Visit to the Young Man’s Apartment

As was previously mentioned, we eventually filed a federal lawsuit against the Diocese of Pittsburgh. While the court case was on a district court’s docket, Donald Wuerl’s former secretary was ever so coincidentally sent outside of United States jurisdiction, to Rome, in order to “work on his doctorate.”

A Note about Canon Law

Canon Law mandates that, whenever a cleric abuses his position of power, he is to be “punished doubly.” Was there a punishment imposed upon any abusive cleric in this matter? If so, then where is the restitution they owe us three?

The Priest had His Victim’s Family Fooled

Throughout the predatory years, Wuerl’s former secretary would even call the young man’s home. Whenever the young man’s mother would answer, she would get him to the phone pronto, simply because it was a priest who was calling. In fact, Torquato was called “afine young man” by the targeted prey’s own grandmother, causing even greater confusion in the young man’s mind. The high school where the priest was stationed was located near the young man’s grandparents. When he was the president of the high school, he was coincidentally residing at the parish to which the young man’s grandparents belonged. Did he request to be assigned there?

The Priest Hid the Fact that He Knew the Young Man (the young man’s family members being the exception)

Donald Wuerl’s former secretary and his future accuser unexpectedly ended up at the samesocial function, once. Throughout the entire night, the predatory priest declined to acknowledge the young man’s existence. That is to say, the priest acted as if he never met the young man. Yet, they were both seated at the same dinner table.

In addition, when the young man came to Wuerl’s own residence, the former secretary who invited him kept insisting that the young man park his car in a place that ever so coincidentally hid the car from plain sight, according to the young man who is no longer a young man.

A lady friend of the priest’s accuser once approached the priest and introduced herself as the young man’s friend. The priest was not as responsive as one would have expected him to be. The priest repeatedly elected to not advertise that fact that he knew the young man. That is what makes the numerous pieces of mail sent by the priest to the young man invaluable evidence.

After the Priest Returned from Rome, . . .

After Wuerl’s former secretary returned from Rome, he was eventually given the assignment of co-director of religious education for one of the diocese’s deaneries. In due time, Wuerl would appoint him pastor of a Pittsburgh diocesan parish, in Carrick, Pennsylvania.

THE COVERUPS OF THE DIRTY THREE: Robert Wolk, Francis Pucci, and Richard “Sade” Zula.

Wuerl’s Unholy Trinity

The indicted priests were Robert Wolk, Francis Pucci, and Richard “Sade” Zula. Wolk was the assistant chancellor and Zula was nicknamed after the Marquis de Sade. All three priests were indicted in Washington County, PA. It’s a county touches the southwestern border of the Allegheny County where within sits Pittsburgh. Furthermore, Zula was also arraigned east of Pittsburgh, in Somerset County. Wolk was indicted in Allegheny County, as well as in Washington County. He was the first one to surrender to police. For the record, the Diocese of Pittsburgh comprises the six most Southwestern counties of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, at last count, has sixty-seven counties.

The front page of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette’s November 11 edition of that year gives light on how involved the criminal investigation was. Within that front page is stated the following:

“Moreover, authorities said their investigation had uncovered evidence of similar offenses involving one of the priests that occurred elsewhere in southwestern Pennsylvania and Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and Canada. Authorities in the jurisdictions have been contacted.”

This shows that the matter was not taken lightly by law enforcement officials. In fact, the Washington County district attorney prophetically said, “We would be sticking our heads in the sand to believe these are the only three cases.”

Richard Zula had 138 criminal counts filed against him in Washington County, alone. A plea bargain reduced the counts to only two. Zula also pleaded guilty in Somerset County. As far as went Robert Wolk, he pleaded guilty in Allegheny and Washington counties.

Pucci’s case, on the other hand, was dismissed on account of the two year statute of limitations that expired on two types of criminal charges. It expired approximately four months prior to his indictment. Pucci was indicted under the premise that the time keeping for the two year limit had frozen during the length of time Pucci was out side of state, in a Maryland psychiatric facility. Yet, conspiracy charges remained open for Pucci, and that crime had a five year limitation statute attached to it. Despite this, Pucci’s case was eventually dismissed.

Take note that, during the nationwide sex abuse scandal, priest after abusive priest was sent to a psychiatric facility, as if each one were an unaccountable victim of mental illness. Now, there is a

difference between mental illness and sin. If a person is insane, then he is without malice in a materially harmful act, even though each member of society has the right to be made safe from such a harmful person. However, deception and manipulation, as well as scheming and concealing, were committed by priest after abusive priest. Such acts are elements of malice, and not mental illness. In addition, these priests were described as having “compulsions” that required psychiatric reatment. In Catholic vernacular, such compulsions are readily known as temptations.

Revisionist History Made Wuerl Look Like a Hero in his Own Triple Cover-up

A number of the 2002, 2003, 2004+ news articles which mentioned Donald Wuerl’s triple cover-up explained it so poorly that it constituted fiction. At times, the cover-up was explained with slight of hand deception, while at other times it was explained with blatant falsehood. Some of the articles went as far as claiming that Wuerl was a stern yet discrete hero in the handling of the three molester priests. In fact, of all the news outlets who alluded to Wuerl’s triple cover-up in revisionist terms, CBS was the one who lied the most. The Pittsburgh Post Gazette came in second place.

CBS made it look as if Donald Wuerl suspended those three priests immediately after having learned of their perversity and then went swiftly to the home of the molested altar boys, as a gesture of compassionate concern. He didn’t. Other 21st Century articles made it look as if Wuerl quickly went to the home of the molested altar boys, as if to be on a fact finding mission, only to gain the realization that he had to oust the three priests immediately thereafter. This, too, was a lie. Other articles stated that Wuerl discretely suspended three priests, as if he reviewed a filing cabinet of diocesan priest dossiers and then cut three unrelated players from a team roster. This didn’t happen, either. In fact, Donald Wuerl was not the one who suspended those priests.

Moreover, in 1988, Wuerl deceived the public by stating that he visited the victimized family after he “became bishop in February.” The wording of Wuerl’s claim made a reasonably minded person assume that he diligently visited the family in February, the first month of his tenure in Pittsburgh. No such visitation by Wuerl or any other Pittsburgh diocesan member occurred that February, that March, that April, May, June, July, or even August.

The following is what actually happened:

Bevilacqua suspended the priests during the Autumn of 1987. Wuerl then replaced Bevilacqua in February 1988. He kept his distance from the family of the two sex abuse casualties and did no more than see to it that the youths would continue to have their psychiatric sessions free of charge.The criminal priests would stay on sick leave, spending some time in a psychiatric facility, all the while living under the radar of law enforcement.

From the view of the logical mind, the venues of the abusive priests were likened to resorts and hideouts. It were as if they would get away with what they did and be able to snag other sexual prey down the road. This triggered within the family of the sexabuse casualties the resolve to go to the police and sue the diocese. This resolve occurred in the vicinity of September. In fact, the October 13, 1988 edition of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette explained it in the following manner:

“…they were worried that the priests might try to molest someone else.”

In the October 21st edition of the same Post Gazette, at the City/Area Section, on Page A-4, it was reported that the family decided to go to the law enforcement authorities when they discovered that at least one member of the molester trio “were not in an institution on a daily basis.”

The pastor of the family’s parish, John Arnott, informed Wuerl what the family decided to do. Wuerl then asked Arnott to see if a meeting with the family could be arranged. It was then and only then when Wuerl closed the distance and went to the victimized family’s home. The logical mind would deduce this visit to have been the ploy of a self-seeking Wuerl, attempting to persuade a family into changing its mind about reporting priests to the police. This would be consistent with a bishop wanting to perpetuate an ongoing coverup. Now, Wuerl’s visit to the home of sex abuse casualties was in September. The family filed its notice of intent to sue at the end of that month.

The Bishops

1. BISHOP ROBERT FINN:Bishop Finn is the first American bishop and the highest-ranking U.S. Catholic clergyman to be found guilty in an abuse case.The trial scrutinized the response of Bishop Finn and the diocese to the case of Father Shawn Ratigan, a diocesan priest. A technician found numerous lewd images of children, mostly prepubescent girls, on the priest’s laptop. He informed a deacon, who reported the finding to diocesan officials on Dec. 16, 2010. The following day, the priest attempted suicide after diocesan officials informed him that they had discovered some of the images.Bishop Finn had delegated the investigation of sexual-abuse claims to Msgr. Robert Murphy, the diocese’s vicar general. However, Msgr. Murphy did not contact law enforcement about the images until May 11, 2011. Bishop Finn was told about the pictures by the vicar general but never saw them himself.In the facts presented at his trial, Bishop Finn acknowledged that he is a mandated child abuse reporter under Missouri law.The Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph also faced charges on the same two counts, but they were dismissed. Lawyers for the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph said that Bishop Finn’s agreement to a bench trial led to the dismissal of the charges against the diocese. Bishop Finn’s lawyers, Gerald Handley, J.R. Hobbs and Marilyn Keller, said that the bench trial avoided the need for live testimony

from diocesan employees, parishioners and others. However, they also said the diocese’s operating procedures “failed to adequately identify the necessity” to inform the government of the priest’s behavior “in a more timely manner.” “For this, the bishop is truly sorry,” the lawyers said.In the wake of Father Ratigan’s arrest, Bishop Finn appointed Todd Graves, a former U.S. Department of Justice official who has worked on childexploitation cases, to investigate the sequence of events that began after concerns were first raised about Father Ratigan’s behavior around children a year earlier. That report was released in August 2011, and it concluded that diocesan policy on reporting suspected child abuse was not followed in a timely manner. Further, when faced with disturbing pictures found on the priest’s laptop and related problems, Church officials relied on limited professional judgments instead of the diocese’s independent review board. The investigation also determined that once the priest was removed from his parish and told to stay away from children and computers Bishop Finn wrongly placed his trust in Father Ratigan to comply with restrictions placed upon his behavior. The guilty verdict addresses Bishop Finn’s failure to report suspected abuse during this five-month time period leading up to Father Ratigan’s arrest in May 2011.Saint Patrick School May 19, 2010 Concerns reported to Principal Julie Hess “I seek to fulfill my responsibility as school principal in relaying a growing body of parent and teacher concerns regarding Pastor Shawn Ratigan’s perceived inappropriate behavior with children.Parents, staff members and parishioners are discussing his actions and whether or not he may be a child molester. They have researched pedophilia on the Internet and brought in sample articles with examples of how Father Shawn’s actions fit the profile of a child predator. I am worried about Father, about our school, and about losing our families to the negative impact of gossip and rumors.””In accordance with the diocesan Children’s Safety Curriculum, and in light of the priest abuse scandal in the Catholic Church and its devastating effects, I would recommend that priests across the diocese observe appropriate “Circle of Grace” physical boundaries for our children, instead of blurring and crossing those boundaries. We would expect Father Shawn to model, teach and practice the Child Safety guidelines across all settings in the church and in the school, and not insist that he has a right to “be close” to children or tell teachers that he knows the rules.””Although concerns about Father Shawn surfaced early in the school year, in the last week they have grown much stronger.The proverbial “straw that broke the camel’s back” was reported to me by phone (I was in St. Louis) last Thursday, May 13, 2010. During a school field trip to Platte Falls, Father allowed a fourth grade girl to sit on his lap and lean her body back against him. He did not immediately move to re-direct her; she sat there for at least five minutes, until teachers moved to stand next to him. Then he rose and went to play Frisbee with a group of students.”When he realized this situation was bigger than the thought, he called me over to the parish office and said it was just a “heads up” about rumors that were swirling around. When I mentioned that he had wanted to discuss a “teacher” issue, he told me that the first grad teacher, “who is not Catholic”, interferes when students try to get close to him at recess.I explained our safety training and the importance of teaching physical boundaries and the “Circle of Grace” to out children. He interrupted to tell me that little children need to be touched and hugged, and

even though “they” advised against it, he felt it was the right thing for kids. he said he would never hurt a child and all he wants to do is help them all get to heaven. At the end of the short conversation, he said that maybe he should just quit being involved in the school all together. I assured him that no one wanted that, and I wanted to say more, but I could tell it just wasn’t the time.””The concerns fall into several categories:

1) inappropriate physical contact with children;

2) inappropriate behavior; and

3) general concerns.””When first grade Brownie Girl Scouts were planting flowers in FatherShawn’s Home garden, a parent reported to me that her husband became “incensed” when he saw Father rubbing circles on his daughter’s back. The dad immediately called his daughter over to him to get him away from Father and texted his wife that Father had better keep his hands to himself or there would be trouble . . . “”In September, teachers expressed concerns about Father interrupting their classes, sharing inappropriate information with students, and not setting physical boundaries for himself with the kids. At the next faculty meeting, the teachers agreed to intervene and directly tell the children not to jump on Father, not to hang on his legs, and not to put their hands in his pockets any more . . .””In October, Father seemed to be “obsessed” — as a staff member put it — with one of the fifth grade girls. he was constantly talking about her, and wondering aloud to office workers, and teachers, “I don’t know why so-and-so doesn’t like me.”He also described their conversations and interactions, as if other adults would be as interested in them as he was. Another staff member brought it up at a Parish Staff meeting as a concern, in terms of his apparent emotional involvement in the situation and the inappropriateness of his “peer-to-peer” relationship with the student.”Teachers report that Father spends a great deal of time talking with the girls in that particular class, saying, “He’s always talking to them.””They were somewhat disturbed with the inside of Father’s home. “It’s very kidfriendly,” one mother said. “There is a big fish tank in the living room and stuffed animals all over the furniture.” There is a giant stuffed animal on the bed in the guest room and the kitchen hand towels are shaped to look like doll clothes. The mother told me, “I got the willies all over.”Earlier that day, this same woman had found a pair of girl’s panties inside one of the planters in Father’s back yard.She told me she’s not sure if her daughters will attend any school field trips that Father goes on and that Father has raised the warning-bell instincts of numerous moms. She added that he’s established no boundaries with kids “and it’s clear he wants it to stay that way.””Father always wants to play with the kids in Physical Education classes. The P.E. teacher has told me that Father has no personal boundaries, the children flock to him, their hands are all over him, and their hands are in his pockets. Other teachers have had to step in and say to the kids “That’s not appropriate!” and hoped that Father would get the hint.Staff members have expressed concern that Father seems unwilling to find the time to meet with them to discuss parish issues; one in particular has tried numerous times to set up a meeting with him to no avail. They believe that Father spends so much time at school he isn’t able to get other important things done. Father is at

school every day for long periods of time. He is usually present at arrival time, during morning prayer, recess, lunch, dismissal, and after school. He also visits the early childhood center most of every day.

2. BISHOP JOSEPH IMESCH: 26 years a bishop, defended accused clerics, saying they were good priests who exercised poor judgment and were victims of smear campaigns and reckless media coverage.Bishop Joseph Imesch retired in May 2006.

Bishop Imesch had a long history of covering up pedophilia, transferring at least four accused priests inside his diocese without alerting parishioners. And he brought in a convicted child molester, the Rev. Gary Berthiaume, who had served as an associate pastor under him at a Detroit church years earlier.Meanwhile, the Archdiocese of St. Louis removed two priests it had accepted from Joliet, the Rev. Fred Lenczycki and the Rev. J. Anthony Meis, saying that Bishop Imesch had not disclosed past allegations against them when recommending them for transfers. The bishop has denied that assertion.Early in 2002, he said that some people are not traumatized by sexual abuse and that some priests who molest adolescents should be allowed back into ministry after therapy, but in late May 2002, he changed to support “zero tolerance” policy after the bishops approved it in Dallas: “I am sorry for any pain I have caused victims, their families, parishioners and others,” he wrote. “I feel that some of the criticisms directed at me were harsh, but I hope that I have learned from them.”.

Rev. Gary D. Berthiaume was convicted and received 6 months in jail 1978 for abusing a 12 yearsold boy who received $325,000 settlement in the 1980s. The victim went on to have his own pedophilia problems. Berthiaume was kept in a parish in the Archdiocese of Detroit for most of the 1980s without telling the congregation about his prior molestation conviction. A priest assigned to monitor him, the Rev. Allen Bruening, himself previously had been removed from a parish because of abuse allegations and was made director of a Catholic high school. Berthiaume was transferred again, to the Diocese of Joliet, IL, until he was removed from his post as chaplain in a suburban Chicago hospital when allegations of old abuse occurred, 2002.

Rev. Frederick A. Lenczycki (Fred), ordained 21 October 1972, had a history of sexual abusing as many as 30 boys, many from Chicago’s suburbs, which began after his ordination and continued through his 2004 conviction for the crimes committed at St. Isaac Jogues Parish in Hinsdale. He was accused in Joliet, moved to St. Louis and was removed when old allegations surfaced. Because Lenczycki left the state in 1984, shortly after more than a dozen young boys at St. Isaac Jogues Parish in Hinsdale accused him of molesting them, the statute of limitations had not yet run out, ruled DuPage County Circuit Judge Ann B. Jorgensen, 18 June 2003. Removed from ministry 2002. Convicted 2004. It appears that he had more than two dozen from about six assignments in Illinois, California and Missouri over several years.

Rev. J. Anthony Meis, ordained 15 August 1972, hospital chaplain, had substantiated allegations of sexual abuse of minors made against him, settled. Removed from ministry 2002.

Surnames A

1. Priest Ruben Abaya Accused Los Angeles, CA: One of seven priests named as defendants in 1984 civil suits filed by a 16 yr old girl seduced by Santiago (Henry) Tamayo and then by six other Filipino priests in Los Angeles. All fled the country (with support from Archdiocese) after suits filed. Others include Henry Caboang, Valentine Tugade, Sylvio Lacar, Victor Balbin, and Angelo Cruces. One of the priests (not Abaya) fathered the girl’s child. Archdiocese contributed to support of child after dismissal of one suit.

2. Priest Leonard A Ambercrombie Accused Denver, CO: Letter 7/93 to Pope JP II, Stafford, and Mahoney, alleged abuse of boy 1953-57 from age 7 and counted several victims. Said Abercrombie admitted abuse to victim’s sister in 1992. USAF chaplain 1950-53 in LA. Baker diocese 1962-64 but listed on sick leave. VA chaplain in LA 1972-93. Retired. Died 10/94. Late 1950s abuse alleged to Denver in 2002. CA suit 2003. LA Arch. rpt 2/17/04 noted 2 CA victims in 1970s. 1st CO suit filed 9/20/05. At least 9 men allege abuse. Some suits mediated. Others settled 7/08.A priest of the Denver Roman Catholic Archdiocese who ended his career working as a hospital chaplain in Southern California is named in one of the hundreds of clergy sexual-abuse lawsuits clogging California courts. The suit was filed in 2003 when California temporarily lifted the statute of limitations on child sex- abuse lawsuits.It accuses the Rev. Leonard A. Abercrombie of molesting an altar boy who served Mass at the Los Angeles-area veterans hospital where Abercrombie began working after relocating from Colorado in the 1970s. The court filing fills in more gaps about claims against Abercrombie, who during his years in Colorado worked in parishes in Denver and small plains towns and as a counselor at a boys’ camp. He died in 1994 at age 73.Three Colorado men – a law-enforcement officer, a retired lawyer and a mental-health official – told The Denver Post last week that Abercrombie molested them before he moved out of state. The men did not tell anyone until many years later. At least one other allegation was made against Abercrombie in California, according to a 2004 report by the Los Angeles Archdiocese that took the extraordinary step of naming priests accused of molesting children stretching back 74 years. In the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, an anonymous plaintiff alleges Abercrombie molested him after gaining his parents’ trust. The lawsuit targets the Los Angeles Archdiocese, the nation’s largest, and involves seven other plaintiffs making claims against different priests and one Catholic sister. The man accusing Abercrombie met the priest while regularly serving Mass at the hospital, DeMarco said. He said the abuse took place between 1975 and 1978. DeMarco said Abercrombie’s move out of state to a veterans hospital raises questions.

3. Priest Lionel Augustine Abeywickrema Accused Santa Fe, NM: Abeywickrema, originally from Sri Lanka, was accused by 3 sisters of sexually abusing them in mid-1960s when he was at St. Bernadette’s Parish in Albuquerque and they were between ages of 6-14. The women reached out-of-court settlement with Santa Fe Archdiocese which was announced 7/1/93. He was

removed from public ministry without any privileges.. He is believed to have died in late 2008.Three sisters who accused a Roman Catholic priest of sexually abusing them when they were children have agreed to an out-of-court settlement with the Archdiocese of Santa Fe. Wednesday’s announcement of the agreement by the arcdiocese and an attorney for the women did not specify the size of the settlement. Archdiocese officials said they removed the Rev. Lionel Augustine Abeywickrema this year as an assistant pastor of Queen of Heaven parish in Albuquerque in response to the allegations. The church also prohibited him from engaging in any public ministry.The women allege that Abeywickrema sexually abused them over a period of several years beginning in the mid-1960s when he was assigned to St.Bernadette’s parish in Albuquerque. the sisters ranged in age from 6 to 14 at the time. They say the priest’s actions ranged from improper touching to sodomy, and that he once celebrated Mass immediately after abusing them. They also said he bought them gifts, threatened them or did both in an effort to keep the actions secret. A priest accused of sexually abusing three sisters when they were children said he wanted to go to court to defend himself, but the Archdiocese of Santa Fe settled with the women.”I’m not saying I’m a saint, but the allegations they brought forth are simply not true,” said the Rev. Lionel Augustine “Augie” Abeywickrema. told the archdiocese I was ready to go to court because , before God, I did not do what they accused me of,” the 66 year-old priest said Thursday.The out-of-court settlement was announced in a news release Wednesday by the archdiocese and an attorney for the women. The details of the settlement were not disclosed. Abeywickrema said he was told the archdiocese chose to settle the case to avoid legal expenses. Archdiocese officials said they removed Abeywickrema as an assistant pastor at Queen of Heaven parish in Albuquerque earlier this year after the allegations and barred him from any public ministry.”These sisters in question were treated by me as members of my own family,” Abeywickrema said in a letter to the Albuquerque Journal. “As usual in a family, our relationships may have been a little more familiar than with total strangers.” But he added” “According to any ‘normal’ way of judging things, none of these actions can be interpreted as of a sexual nature or content.” He conceded that certain affectionate gestures “could have been misinterpreted.”The women allege Abeywickrema sexually abused them for several years beginning in the mid1960s when he was assigned to St. Bernadette’s parish in Albuquerque. The sisters ranged in age from 6 to 14 when the alleged abuse began. Allegations ranged from improper touching to sodomy. “I have never – that word, sodomy – I’ve never done that in my whole life,” the priest said. If the allegations had been true, he asked, then why did the family continue to seek him out on subsequent social and religious occasions? I was invited to perform most of the baptisms, marriages and anniversaries in the family until three years ago,” he said. Abeywickrema, a native of Sri Lanka, served at a number of New Mexico parishes, including St. Bernadette’s in the 1960s, Our Lady of Fatima in Albuquerque in the 1970s and Sacred Heart Church in Albuquerque in the early 1980s. He also was assigned to Immaculate Conception Church in Los Alamos and ST. Alice church in Tucumcari in the mid- to late 1980s. He was in Mountainair in the early 1990s, then was transferred to Queen of Heaven.

4. Priest John L Abrams Accused Brooklyn, NY: Some time after 2002 Abrams’ “victims” reported abuse between 1979-1982 to Diocese but nothing done. No criminal charges filed. Diocese publicly announced 11/07 that Abrams’ authority as priest had been permanently removed and matter was being referred to Vatican after review board found allegations credible.He was 83 yrs old at the time. Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of the Diocese of Brooklyn has announced that an investigation by the Diocesan Review Board has found sufficient evidence of sexual abuse of minors by a former Queens pastor. In a letter to parishioners of Sacred Heart parish in Bayside, the Bishop stated that John Abrams, now retired, is “on leave from the public exercise of sacred ministry.” According to the report of the Diocesan Review Board, the sexual abuse took place more than 25 years ago when he was the pastor there. Bishop DiMarzio said he is not permitted to present himself as a priest, wear clerical attire, celebrate Mass or administer the sacraments. While he left the parish in l982, the allegations were presented to the Diocese after the implementation of the U.S. Bishops’ “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People,” the letter said. The Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith will receive the results of the investigation “for direction on how to proceed next,” he said.Ex-Sacred Heart Pastor Barred from MinistryBy M. Junaid Alam Times Ledger

November 15, 2007http://www.timesledger.com/site/news.cfm? newsid=19027286&BRD=2676&PAG=461&dept_id=542415&rfi=6A

former pastor at Bayside’s Sacred Heart parish has been barred from presenting himself as a priest or administering sacraments after an investigation by the Diocese Review Board found “sufficient evidence of sexual abuse of minors,” the Diocese of Brooklyn has announced.John Abrams, who presided over the 215-35 38th Ave. church from 1979 to 1982, was accused of sexually abusing minors during his tenure, but the allegations were not brought forward until the U.S. Bishops “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People” was implemented, the diocese said. That measure was approved in June 2005.Bayside parishioners were informed of the diocese’s findings during Nov. 3 and Nov. 4 masses by Msgr. Sean Ogle, the Episcopal vicar for the Queens North Vicariate.A letter distributed to churchgoers from Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio read in part: “You are undoubtedly aware of the deep suffering and hurt that surround any matter of child abuse, especially when allegations involve a member of the clergy…Sadly, I must advise you that, following an investigation, sufficient evidence of sexual abuse of minors by John Abrams has been found…”The letter further noted that Abrams, who is retired, would be placed on leave and given the opportunity to receive professional help.The diocese’s investigation was conducted by an eight-member panel which operates in confidence, diocese spokesman Frank DeRosa said. “I have high regard for the review board,” he added.DeRosa said that after the diocese receives any allegation, “it is immediately turned over to the DA” – even if the statute of limitations has expired. The Queens district attorney’s office said it had no record of charges filed against Abrams.DeRosa said he did not have a full record of Abrams’ service, but that the now-retired pastor spent about seven or eight years

at St. Patrick’s in Bayridge, Brooklyn following his Bayside ministry.The spokesman said a conversation with one parishioner indicated the announcement had little immediate impact on most of the congregation because Abrams had not served there in 25 years.

5. Priest Joseph A Abruzzese Convicted Providence, RI: Placed on leave in 11/93. Pleaded no contest in 1994 to second-degree sexual assault for grabbing and fondling a 16 yr old boy in a local park. Sentenced to 5 yrs probation and counseling. Shown as Absent on Leave per 1995 – 2002 Official Catholic Directories. He is not listed after 2002. Current status unknown.Providence – The Rev. Joseph A. Abruzzese, former assistant pastor at St. Anthony Church in North Providence, yesterday pleaded no contest to one count of second-degree sexual assault. Superior Court Judge Mark A. Pfeiffer sentenced Abruzzese, 35, to five years’ probation and ordered him to participate in counseling. Also, he was ordered not to have any contact with his victim, a 16-year-old boy, and agreed to pay the cost of any counseling the youth might require.The no contest plea was the result of a plea bargain worked out between Abruzzese and the attorney general’s office, said Stephen White, spokesman for Atty. Gen. Jeffrey B. Pine.Abruzzese was arrested last November, following an incident Oct. 29th in Roger Williams Park. According to a police report, Abruzzese, who was dressed in a blue jumpsuit, approached the boy and asked him if he wanted to make some money. The boy said no. The youth said Abruzzese grabbed his buttocks and genitals. When he tried to get away, Abruzzese tightened his grip and exposed himself. The youth, who worked as a groundskeeper at the park, broke away and ran back to the greenhouse. He told fellow workers what happened, and they took down the license plate on Abruzzese’s car. Police traced him through the registration.Abruzzese was suspended from his priest’s duties shortly after his arrest, said William Halpin, a spokesman for the Diocese of Providence. He said the case will be reviewed by the Most Rev. Louis E. Gelineau, bishop of Providence, who will decide whether Abruzzese will be allowed to resume his duties. However, Halpin said, it was “unlikely” that would happen. Despite the suspension, Abruzzese remains a priest, unless he is relieved of his priestly vows by the Vatican. But for that to happen, either Abruzzese or the bishop would have to request it, Halpin said. Abruzzese did not make a statement during his brief court appearence, said his lawyer, C. Leonard O’Brien. “He’s just thankful for the opportunity to put this behind him,” O’Brien said. Abruzzese decided to plead no contest, O’Brien said, because he wanted to put the incident to rest “with a minimum of pain for everyone involved, including the young man” he assaulted. O’Brien also said the incident had “nothing” to do with Abruzzese’s duties as a priest. The youth was not a parishioner of the church, he added.

6. Priest Jeffery Acebo Sued Oakland, CA: As a newly ordained priest, Acebo confessed to Bishop Cummins in 1986 that he had molested a 16 yr old girl. He wanted to make the relationship public but Bishop refused. He sent Acebo for treatment and reassigned him. Acebo served in four parishes over the next 15 yrs. Named in civil suit and apology service.Where alleged abuse occurred: St. John the Baptist, San Lorenzo (1986-1988). Where accusation was made: Named in

lawsuit, deposition, apology service. Other places served (Diocese of Oakland): St. Joseph, Pinole; Holy Spirit, Fremont; Our Lady of Guadalupe, Fremont; St. Anthony, Oakland; St. Albert, Alameda. Last known status or location: Pinole

7. Priest Alvin J. Adams Accused Pittsburgh, PA: Removed 3/09 from parish assignment and position as chaplain at Bp. Canevin High after new allegation that he had sexually abused a minor in late 1960s in his first assignment. Three accusers known as of 2/10 but only 1 was considered credible by Diocese. This was woman who accused him of fondling her at Mon Valley HS in late 1970s. in 2/10 he was permanently restricted to a supervised ministry as chaplain to a convent of sisters but assignment withdrawn after complaints from parents of nearby school.A Catholic pastor and chaplain at Bishop Canevin High School has been suspended from ministry pending investigation of an allegation that he sexually abused a minor 40 years ago. Students at Canevin were told yesterday that the Rev. Alvin Adams was on administrative leave due to an allegation. They were given a letter to take home. All pastors and parish life collaborators were sent a similar letter, which will also be read at Ascension parish in Ingram, where Father Adams became pastor in July, said the Rev. Ronald Lengwin, spokesman for the diocese.”Removing Father Adams from active ministry does not imply guilt. It is intended to allow time to safeguard the course of justice while preserving the rights of everyone involved, including the person against whom an allegation has been made and the person who has made the allegation,” the Rev. David Bonnar, vicar for clergy, wrote to the priests.Father Lengwin declined to detail the accusation, other than saying it occurred 40 years ago and would constitute a violation of the U.S. bishops’ Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People. The diocese had never received an allegation about Father Adams until this week, Father Lengwin said. He is forbidden to wear clerical garb or administer any sacraments, he said. Diocesan officials intended to take the allegation to the district attorney yesterday afternoon, Father Lengwin said, although he was not certain whether that had happened. Mike Manko, a spokesman for district attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., said yesterday afternoon that he was unaware of the allegation.Father Adams, 68, was ordained in 1967 and served until 1972 at the former St. Canice, Knoxville, where he was a parochial vicar when the abuse allegedly occurred. He was a parochial vicar at St. Joseph the Worker, New Castle, 1972-75, spent the summer of 1975 at St. Paul Cathedral before becoming assistant principal of the former Mon Valley Catholic High School.

8. Priest Archie H Adams Accused Madison, WI: Adams was named in 2/03 article as one of four priests against whom documented and substantial allegations of serious abuse have been made. He had not been publicly accused in the past. Adams was granted a medical leave and retired status in 1994. Per 2002 Catholic Directory, he was still shown as on sick leave. By 8/05 he was “no longer in the priesthood” and diocese did not keep track of him.

9. Priest Raymond J Adamzky Accused Milwaukee, WI: Adamsky’s name appears on Archdiocese’s 4/04 list of priests fully restricted from ministry because of credible allegations of abuse. Adamzky retired in 1993 and has been fully restricted from priestly ministry. Case has been sent to the Vatican for review.

10. Priest Thomas Adamson Settled Winona, MN: Accused of abuse multiple times. At least 12 filed late 1980s-early 1990s.One went to trial with major verdict for Plaintiff 12/90. Civil suit filed 4/06. Adamson abused in Winona prior to transfer to St Paul-Minneapolis AD. Experts say he may have abused as many as 100 boys. Total est. settlements for abuse by Adamson is over $6M. One 2006 case dismissed 2010. Reinstated by MN Court of appeals 6/11. Rejected by MN Supreme Court 7/12. Adamson back in Winona area 3/12. Banned from church property.A former priest of the Diocese of Winona said Thursday he was literally shown the door when he told Bishop Edward Fitzgerald that the Rev. Thomas Adamson was sexually abusing boys in Caledonia, Minn. Jim Fitzpatrick, a Caledonia native and priest for the diocese from 1963 to 1973, said he was assigned to the Winona Cathedral and Cotter High School when parents from his hometown came to Winona to ask what he could do about what Adamson was doing to boys in Caledonia.Fitzpatrick said he would talk with the bishop, but when he went to Fitzgerald and related what the parents told him about their sons and about 15 other boys, Fitzgerald told him he would deal with his priests and showed him out of his office. Fitzpatrick described his encounter with the bishop in a news conference Thursday in St. Paul. Fitzpatrick was to be a witness in the case brought against the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis and the Diocese of Winona by James Keenan, claiming he had in 1980-81 been sexually abused by Adamson and that church officials had been aware of Adamson’s history of child sexual abuse. But earlier this week, the Minnesota Supreme Court upheld a district court ruling that dismissed the case on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired.Keenan had argued that his case was still within the limitations because his memories were repressed. Fitzpatrick said that since he would not have the opportunity to tell his story in court, he was coming forward publicly as a “matter of conscience.” Fitzpatrick said he had further contact concerning Adamson while working as parish administrator at Guardian Angel parish in Oakdale, where in 1981 Adamson was to be assigned as associate pastor. He said he contacted the Rev. Donald Schmitz, then chancellor of the Winona diocese, who told him Adamson was still abusing boys.Fitzpatrick said he discussed the situation with Bishop Robert Carlson — now Archbishop of St. Louis — and Adamson was assigned to the parish in Apple ValleyBurnsville, where he met James Keenan. Fitzpatrick said he did not come forward at the time because as a church employee challenging the hierarchy, “I was afraid I would lose my job.” Adamson, 78, was ordained to the priesthood in 1958. Allegations of his sexual involvement with young boys date from the early 1960s. In 1975, he was transferred to the Archdiocese of St. Paul after a number of abuse complaints had been brought to the attention of church officials in the Winona diocese. He continued in the active priesthood until 1984. While Adamson never faced criminal abuse charges — the statute of limitations had expired — he was named in three civil suits settled out of court, and a fourth suit brought against the Diocese of Winona and the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis was decided in favor of the complainant.

11. Priest Daniel C Aerts Accused Grand Rapids, MI: In 4/02 Aerts admitted to sexual misconduct with teen in 1979 while serving at St. Thomas and Holy Spirit parishes in Grand Rapids. Apparently the victim sent him a letter in 2002 and he forwarded it to Diocese. He resigned from

his position. Bishop said there was no prior knowledge of abuse.In the Grand Rapids diocese, the Rev. Daniel Aerts, pastor of St. Philip Neri Parish in Reed City and St. Anne Parish in Paris, Mich., resigned. He said he had been accused of an incident 23 years ago when he was an associate pastor in transition between Holy Spirit and St. Thomas parishes in Grand Rapids, the diocese said in a statement. According to diocese officials, Aerts “has admitted to the allegation and expressed his deep regrets.”The Rev. Daniel Aerts Admits to Sexual Misconduct with a Teen 23 Years Ago While at Holy Spirit and St. Thomas the Apostle Parishes. The Rev. Daniel Aerts, head of parishes in Reed City in Osceola County and Paris in Mecosta County, announced his resignation to parishioners at weekend Masses. The abuse occurred when Aerts, now 52, was an associate pastor at Holy Spirit and St. Thomas the Apostle parishes in Grand Rapids in 1979, according to a statement from Bishop Robert Rose. Aerts had “inappropriate sexual conduct with a teen-ager 23 years ago,” Rose said in the statement.The male victim now lives out of state. At the time of the abuse in 1979, Aerts was in transition from Holy Spirit Catholic Church, 2230 Lake Michigan Drive NW, to St. Thomas the Apostle, 1449 Wilcox Park Drive SE. He served at Holy Spirit from 1977 to 1979 and at St. Thomas from 1979 to 1982, diocesan records show. The victim was not a parishioner at either parish, diocesan spokeswoman Mary Haarman said this morning.Aerts recently received a letter from the victim and immediately forwarded it to the diocese, Haarman said. She did not know if he offered to resign or whether Bishop Robert Rose asked him to. The priest will undergo a “comprehensive evaluation” to determine whether he is fit to continue in any kind of ministry, Haarman said. Professionals hired by the diocese will evaluate Aerts psychologically, spiritually and physically, she said.Bishop Rose will review the evaluation and “determine what type of ministry, if any, father could proceed in,” Haarman said. She said Rose will not consider the confirmed allegation as grounds for automatic dismissal. Rose last week announced a zerotolerance policy for new or recent incidents but said he would respond to charges from decades ago on a case-by-case basis. This is one of two abuse allegations the diocese has been investigating, Haarman said. She would not disclose details of the second allegation. Ordained in 1977, Aerts was pastor at St. Michael parish in Remus from 1983 to 1995 before taking the post in Reed City. He also served as associate pastor at St. John Vianney in Wyoming in 1982 and 1983. In addition to his parish duties, Aerts was dean of the Big Rapids deanery, a group of 11 area churches. Aerts served as a liaison between the churches and the diocese, Haarman said.

Personnel files released 1/13.Father Aguilar’s tale of international flight fits a pattern that Catholic Church leaders have repeated around the world, a yearlong Dallas Morning News investigation has found.In this case, the two bishops have become prominent figures in the global Catholic hierarchy. One, the Rev. Norberto Rivera, is now Mexico City’s cardinal and one of his country’s most powerful men. The other, Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, leads the largest diocese in the United States.Father Aguilar is more than just an old skeleton in their closets. After dodging criminal charges in California, where police said he had molested at least 26 boys, he was charged in a 1997 Mexican abuse case. Church leaders kept him in ministry while the matter was pending and even after his conviction in 2003. Recently, he was spared punishment on a technicality, a Mexican judge said.Cardinal Rivera did not respond to The News‘ written requests for information about the priest. Asked after a recent Mass what had become of Father Aguilar since his return to Mexico, the cardinal said: “I’m absolutely ignorant.” He would not elaborate. Cardinal Mahony declined to be interviewed. Spokesman Tod Tamberg did not respond to most questions from The News, although he did say that Father Aguilar was accepted in Los Angeles after Cardinal Rivera wrote that his cleric wanted to move there “for reasons of his family and health.”Father Aguilar, in a brief interview at a courthouse in Tehuacán, 150 miles southeast of Mexico City, denied any wrongdoing. “God knows,” he said, “that this is all just a slander to destroy me.” Numerous documents and interviews with former parishioners suggest otherwise. In a Tehuacán slum, Catalina Cortez recalled how she let her 11-year-old son visit Father Aguilar’s house on Saturday afternoons in 1997 to prepare for his first communion. She knew nothing about the priest’s past. “Aguilar would come to our home and ask that the kids go with him and sleep over,” said Ms. Cortez, whose son was one of four boys who later reported abuse allegations to police. “I tried to respect his wishes, because he was a priest and I’m just an ordinary person.”Lay people, ranging from a seminary student to parishioners to police, have long tried to stop the 62-year-old Father Aguilar.Allegations of sexual abuse against him first began surfacing in the 1970s, according to Jorge Cadena, a former high school student at the Tehuacán junior seminary. He said one classmate told him that Father Aguilar had attacked him. “Everyone knew you had to stay away from Aguilar,” said Mr. Cadena, who is now an engineering professor at a nearby technical school. “But when I complained to the priests in charge, they kicked me out of school.”In 1986 or early 1987, when Father Aguilar was heading a parish in Cuacnopalan, near Tehuacán, someone nearly killed the priest. One Saturday night, residents found him at the church residence in a pool of blood. He’d been bludgeoned with a club or slashed with a bottle or shot, depending on the account. There are no public records of the crime, which went unsolved. Authorities said Father Aguilar didn’t want it prosecuted. Miguel Pérez, a church neighbor who served as a local sheriff at the time and said he helped investigate, suspected that Father Aguilar had been attacked by one

or more guests. “On weekends, the priest always had visitors, young men and teenagers who would spend the night,” said Mr. Pérez, who still lives across from the church. Father Aguilar said the attack stemmed from a land dispute involving a lot next to the church. His neighbors, he recalled, “said they’d never leave me alone.”By April 1987, the priest had transferred to Our Lady of Guadalupe parish in East Los Angeles. After about two months, he was transferred again, to St. Agatha in South Central Los Angeles. Father Aguilar maintained ties with families at the first parish. And by December 1987, two young altar boys there were telling their mother that Father Aguilar had been molesting them. She contacted Our Lady of Guadalupe’s head priest. He begged her to stay quiet, she said. The head priest also alerted the cardinal’s head of clergy personnel, Monsignor Thomas Curry. Meanwhile, the woman’s husband contacted another couple Father Aguilar had befriended. Soon, their boys also were saying that they had been abused. On a weekday in early January 1988, their mother called the parish school, whose principal notified police the following Monday morning. It was too late. Monsignor Curry – who is now a bishop and still working for Cardinal Mahony – had advised Father Aguilar of the allegations at least two days earlier and suspended him. Father Aguilar had told Monsignor Curry he would return to Mexico, according to police reports. But the monsignor did not notify authorities of the priest’s plans.Meanwhile, Father Aguilar had a local relative drive him to Tijuana. Later, Sister Judith Murphy, a nun who was Cardinal Mahony’s in-house lawyer for 17 years, refused police requests for church records. “My biggest problem was the stonewalling of the Catholic Church,” said Gary Lyon, lead detective on the Aguilar case, who has since retired. Added Janice Maurizi, a Los Angeles prosecutor, “The archdiocese facilitated his flight.”No criminal charges accusing anyone of a cover-up have been filed in this or any other Los Angeles clergy abuse case. But the district attorney’s office is investigating the possible “criminal culpability of anyone in the hierarchy of the archdiocese” who dealt with abuse accusations, said prosecutor William Hodgman, who heads the inquiry. The cardinal’s spokesman, Mr. Tamberg, declined an opportunity to respond to the statements from law enforcement officials. After Father Aguilar left Los Angeles in 1988, Cardinal Mahony wrote Cardinal Rivera, asking him to cooperate with detectives. Cardinal Mahony described his request as “very urgent,” although he had waited two months to send the letter.”It is almost impossible to determine precisely the number of young altar boys he has sexually molested, but the number is large,” Cardinal Mahony wrote. “This priest must be arrested and returned to Los Angeles to suffer the consequences of his immoral actions.” Cardinal Rivera provided the names of Father Aguilar’s parents and his hometown, but little more. He also pointed his U.S. counterpart to Cuacnopalan, scene of the violence against the priest. “You will understand that I’m not in a position to find him, much less force him to return and appear in court,” wrote Cardinal Rivera, in a letter dated March 17, 1988. “I can tell you that the priest was in San Sebastián Cuacnopalan parish for over 10 years, and surely the police there can find much information.” Cardinal Rivera also reminded Cardinal Mahony that he had given him, when sending Father Aguilar to Los Angeles, “a summary of the priest’s ‘homosexual problems.’ ” That term is “code for having been

caught with young boys,” said the Rev. Thomas Doyle, a former official with the Vatican’s embassy in the United States, who has reviewed many abusive clergymen’s personnel files. He said top church leaders generally don’t consider consensual adult homosexuality a problem, despite their public statements to the contrary.Cardinal Mahony wrote back to Cardinal Rivera, saying “we do not admit priests with any homosexual problems.” He said he had never received the warning and asked Cardinal Rivera to send it again. Cardinal Rivera did not do so and has not replied to more recent requests, according to Cardinal Mahony’s spokesman. The Mexican cardinal also did not respond to The News‘ request for a copy of his letter. The letters that The News did obtain came from Los Angeles criminal case files in response to an open-records request from the newspaper. By the time the bishops were corresponding in 1988, Los Angeles detectives were wrapping up their investigation.The district attorney’s office, seeing no sign that the church was going to return the priest and fearing that he wouldn’t be extradited, submitted its 10 strongest cases for prosecution in Mexico. (That country’s legal system allows Mexican citizens to be prosecuted at home for crimes committed abroad.) The cases went nowhere. Enrique Zepeda, the top lawyer at Mexico’s consulate in Los Angeles, said Los Angeles police did not produce legally required evidence that the suspect was from Mexico. Likewise, no evidence showed that Father Aguilar was a priest, said Mr. Zepeda, who did not handle the case at the time. He and his bosses in the Mexican attorney general’s office would not release supporting documents. But readily available Mexican church records show that Father Aguilar was born in Mexico and ordained to the priesthood there, and that he has spent most of his adult life in clerical assignments in that country. Los Angeles police say Mexican officials never expressed concerns about verifying Father Aguilar’s nationality and clerical status. The Mexicans usually obtain such documents themselves, said Detective Fernando Gonzalez, who serves in the Police Department’s foreign prosecution unit and worked on the Aguilar case.The unit’s records indicate that Mexican authorities did ask three times for the accusers’ birth certificates, promptly received them in each instance and reported losing them at least once. In 1995, Mexican prosecutors finally took the case to a judge, who dismissed it as too old to prosecute. “I don’t know what happened in Mexico,” Detective Gonzalez said. “I can’t tell you if it was planned or it just happened.” Ms. Maurizi, who oversees prosecutions in Mexico for the Los Angeles district attorney, said she complained repeatedly to Mr. Zepeda’s predecessor. About two years ago, she finally got him to admit what had happened, she said. “The system was never going to prosecute a priest,” she said the predecessor, Jorge García-Villalobos, told her. Mr. García-Villalobos, now working in the private sector in Mexico City, said he was merely pointing out that prosecuting a priest would be difficult in any country – let alone Mexico, which has a large Catholic majority. But he did not say it would be impossible, he said.At Ms. Maurizi’s urging, Mr. García-Villalobos recommended a federal inquiry into why the California charges hadn’t been prosecuted swiftly and whether the priest might have committed more crimes in Mexico. He and Mr. Zepeda said they don’t know what became of the recommendations. The dismissal of the Aguilar case is

unusual. Authorities on both sides of the border say almost all foreign prosecutions in Mexico end in convictions. In 1995, the year the California allegations were dismissed, Father Aguilar was listed in a church directory as serving in a Mexico City parish. The archdiocese also got a new leader that year: Cardinal Rivera. But by 1997, Father Aguilar was back in his home Diocese of Tehuacán, working on the outskirts of town. His base was the chapel of San Vicente Ferrer, a spare, concrete building in San Nicolás Tolentino Parish. One day, a 12-year-old boy who’d become active in the parish ran away. His frantic parents found him at a relative’s house 75 miles away, where he’d gone by bus with a 14-year-old friend. The son told his father why he ran: Father Aguilar had been molesting him for months, according to the boy’s statement to police. Soon, his friend and two other boys said Father Aguilar had abused them, too. “I felt like someone had poured boiling water on me when I found out,” said the 12-year-old’s mother, María de Jesús González. Father Aguilar had chosen her son as the leader of a group studying for first communion. The priest lavished special attention on the boy, often asking him to stay behind when the other kids left, according to police reports.Father Nicolás told me that what I was doing with him was normal, between men, that some people did that,” the boy told police, in a statement obtained by The News. The priest also threatened to kill the youngster’s mother or his younger brother if he told anyone about the abuse, according to court documents and interviews. Ms. González marched all four kids to the police station to make statements after she learned of the accusations. She repeated the allegations in a radio interview. And “people here told me they were going to lynch me for denouncing a priest,” she said.She didn’t back off, and the case went forward – sort of. In 2003, six years after the initial complaints, state Judge Carlos Ramírez found Father Aguilar guilty of a misdemeanor abuse charge based on allegations by a 14-year-old. Judge Ramírez sentenced Father Aguilar to a year in prison, but the priest remained free on bail while appealing the decision to federal court. Federal judges recently let the conviction stand but spared Father Aguilar punishment on the grounds that the crime was too old, Judge Ramírez said last week. Yet it was Father Aguilar himself who had delayed the case, the judge said, by waiting four years to appear in court and answer the charges.Earlier, Judge Ramírez had dropped a felony charge against Father Aguilar for corruption of minors. “The psychological exams on the supposed victims did not show signs of sexual abuse,” he said. But that’s not what police psychologist Bibiana Rojas wrote in her report, a copy of which was obtained by The News. After questioning Ms. González’s son on Dec. 20, 1997, Ms. Rojas found “aftershocks of severely traumatic experiences of a sexual nature.” Judge Ramírez said criminal investigators never showed him the report. The lead investigator declined to comment. The four boys weren’t the only victims, Ms. González said. She said she spoke with a dozen mothers who urged her to drop the charges against Father Aguilar – even as they told her their own sons also had been abused. A Tehuacán Diocese official said that Father Aguilar had abused about 60 kids, according to Ms. González.

She said the Rev. Teodoro Lima told her this in explaining why the church couldn’t afford to pay for her son’s counseling. Father Lima told The News he didn’t remember the conversation. He also said Father Aguilar had never returned to Tehuacán after going to California. Cardinal Rivera, now the leading face of the Catholic Church in Mexico, has sent mixed signals on sexual abuse. In 2002, when several prominent bishops criticized suggestions that the church should hand over accused priests to police, the cardinal scolded them. “When these criminal abuses occur, inside or outside the church, of course they should be reported to authorities, and justice should be done,” he said in a televised sermon. But he also told the Italian Catholic journal 30 Giorni in 2002 that “as far as I am aware, there has not been any documented report” to Mexican authorities of a priest molesting children.

Meanwhile, protests over the Aguilar case have gone all the way to Mexican President Vicente Fox. In a July 2003 letter to the president, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, DCalif., complained that the priest had gone free because “Mexican prosecutors failed to submit the case for timely prosecution.” Father Aguilar’s case was one of several she cited as evidence that Mexico was not aggressively tracking down people accused of fleeing there after committing crimes in California. Mr. Fox never responded, Ms. Feinstein’s office said. His aides did not respond to requests from The News for comment.

In Los Angeles, Cardinal Mahony portrays himself as a reformer who doesn’t tolerate sexual misconduct. Pending lawsuits, which he is contesting, allege that he concealed abuse by several priests and religious brothers. About 250 priests and brothers have been accused of molesting children in the Los Angeles Archdiocese over the last 75 years, though many have been publicly named only in the last year. “The unique feature of the Aguilar case is how dramatically it shows the international trafficking of sex abusers in the Catholic Church,” said Raymond Boucher, whose law firm represents three alleged victims of Father Aguilar and hundreds of other accusers.

Cardinal Mahony is fighting in court to withhold clergy personnel files from prosecutors and plaintiffs’ lawyers, citing the priests’ privacy rights. His resistance has done “little to enhance the reputation of the church in the United States for transparency and cooperation,” according to a recent report on American dioceses commissioned by U.S. bishops. Father Aguilar still haunts the four Tehuacán boys who accused him of abuse. One was recently allowed to move back into his parents’ house on the condition that he never speak of the abuse. Another, now 21, migrated illegally to North Carolina. Catalina Cortez’s son moved to Guadalajara. Ms. González’s son has left, too, after one too many taunts by kids and townspeople. He is 19 now, and his mother says she isn’t sure where he is. “This whole case has been pretty much forgotten around here,” she said. “But our son won’t forget. We won’t forget either.”

As for Father Aguilar, he has worked in at least five Mexican dioceses since leaving Los Angeles. While the Tehuacán case was pending, he went back to parish duty in Mexico City working for Cardinal Rivera before moving to a post at the cathedral in the Ciudad Lázaro Cárdenas Diocese, according to records and interviews. In recent years, Father Aguilar also has worked informally in the Puebla and Cuernavaca dioceses. “Some of my fellow priests have offered the charity of letting me live with them,” he said, adding that he still formally belongs to the Tehuacán Diocese. “I don’t spend too much time in any one place.” (Staff writer Brooks Egerton reported from Southern California and Dallas; staff writer Brendan M.

14. Priest Arturo Ahumada Convicted Los Angeles, CA: Deacon. Pleaded no contest in 3/02 of providing pornographic material to 2 boys and misdemeanor sexual battery on one of them between 1999-2000 at Epiphany Church in South El Monte. Taken into custody 5/02 pending sentencing Sentenced 6/02 to 1 ys in county jail, a 44-month suspended state prison term, 5 yrs felony probation, and required to register as sex offender.A Catholic deacon who worked at a South El Monte church faces more than four years in prison after pleading no contest to felony charges of providing pornographic material to young boys and sexual battery on one of them, officials said Monday. The sentencing of Deacon Arturo Ahumada, a layman who served on the staff at Epiphany Catholic Church, was postponed Monday until May 14. He pleaded no contest on March 4 to charges that he showed a pornographic videotape to two boys he met through the parish and molested one of them at his home. Ahumada’s sex abuse case is the fourth involving the Los Angeles Archdiocese in the last five years, according to Cardinal Roger M. Mahony. He said seven other cases involving abusive priests occurred before 1997. The names of all accused priests have been given to authorities, Mahony said. Ahumada used his position with the church “to befriend these boys and manipulate them,” said Det. Albert Maldonado of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Family Crimes Unit. Prosecutors allege that Ahumada, 45, invited two boys, ages 15 and 16, to his South El Monte home several times for dinner between March 1 and March 31 last year. He showed them a pornographic videotape, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Habib A. Balian. Ahumada also molested one of the boys, Balian said. “He acted as a kind of father figure and close friend to these boys,” Maldonado said. “They’d go over to his home together and separately.” Maldonado said one of boys decided “he had enough” and told a South El Monte high school guidance counselor. That counselor, Maldonado said, reported the alleged sexual abuse to the Sheriff’s Department. Sheriff’s detectives arrested Ahumada in July. The deacon entered an open plea, meaning that he made no plea bargain with prosecutors. He will be sentenced by Pomona Court Commissioner Wade Olson on two felony counts of providing illicit materials to minors and one count of misdemeanor sexual battery on a boy. Archdiocese officials said Ahumada will no longer serve the ministry. “There is the legal process that the person is going through,” said Tod Tamberg, an archdiocese spokesman. “But we also have a higher standard ourselves because of our

responsibility to protect children, and so he will not return to ministry.”Deacon Arturo Ahumada, 46, sentenced to a year in County Jail in June for providing pornographic material to two boys and committing sexual battery on another while serving at Epiphany Church in South El Monte.

15. Priest Bennet Akuzie Arrested Brooklyn, NY: Nigerian priest. Arrested 4/1/96 on charges that he sexually groped a 16-year-old girl, exposed himself to her, and requested sexual acts from her at a motel. 21 yr old woman was also involved. The two women took his car after the event and he reported car stolen. The 16 yr old made the accusation when they were picked up by police. He refused to press charges for theft. No further information found. Daily News (New York) April 03, 1996 VISITING PRIEST HIT WITH SEX RAP By Jose Lambiet A visiting Catholic priest was arrested yesterday and charged with the sexual abuse of a woman and a 16-year-old girl, police said. Akuzie Bennet, 44, who came to New York from Nigeria to attend religious school, surrendered a day after the alleged incident at the Cross Bay Motor Inn in Ozone Park. He was charged with sex abuse and endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly touching their breasts. The woman and girl left the motel in Bennet’s car, and police Said they are expected to be charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.A Priest Is Accused of Sexually Abusing a 16-Year-Old Girl By Chuck Sudetic New York Times April 4, 1996: A Roman Catholic priest from Nigeria was arrested Tuesday afternoon on charges that he sexually groped a 16-year-old girl and exposed himself to her at a Queens motel room, the police said. The girl made the charges after she and a 21-year-old woman were apprehended for stealing the priest’s car. The Rev. Bennet Akuzie, 44, of 88-19 Parsons Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens, was facing charges of thirddegree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child, Mary De Bourbon, a spokeswoman for the Queens County District Attorney, said. The police have not identified the women. A police official who spoke on condition of anonymity said that the 21-year-old had spent time with the priest on at least four occasions and that he had given her $75 and had paid to have her hair done. The incident that gave rise to the charges against Father Akuzie began about 3:30 P.M. Monday when he invited the two women to a room in the Cross Bay Motor Inn at 137-27 Cross Bay Boulevard in Howard Beach, Officer Noreen Murray, a police spokeswoman, said. “At the location, he did request sexual acts from these females,” Officer Murray said. “He did expose himself to both females and fondled the breasts of the 16-year-old.” When Father Akuzie went to take a shower, the two women left the motel and took his car without permission, Officer Murray said. At 7:15 P.M., Father Akuzie reported his car stolen, said another police spokeswoman, Officer Valerie St. Rose. Police officers apprehended the two women in the car early Tuesday several miles away in Brooklyn, Officer St. Rose said. “During the arrest debriefing, the two females made the allegations against the priest,” Officer Murray said. Father Akuzie surrendered to the police on Tuesday afternoon, she said. The priest refused to press charges against the women for taking his car, Officer St. Rose said.

16. Priest Henry A. Albeke (Albecke) Settled Bridgeport, CT: Claims against Albeke were settled by Diocese as part of massive settlement 10/03. Diocese paid $21M to 40 people who claim that they were abused by 16 priests, including Albeke. Albeke is only priest on the list whose name had not

previously been made public. He was placed on leave 8/02 after a man reported he had been abused by the priest in 1978 at St. Jude Church in Monroe. Name is also spelled Albecke.Bridgeport— Bridgeport Bishop William Lori apologized Thursday to sexual abuse victims and asked for forgiveness as he announced a $21 million settlement with 40 people who said they were molested by priests. Lori said the settlement was an effort by the Roman Catholic diocese to “do what is right, just and compassionate.”” Let me express my personal remorse and the remorse of the entire diocese for the harm that was caused in the lives of so many individuals,” he said. “With all my heart I apologize and I ask for forgiveness.” The settlement involves 42 claims by 40 people who allege that 16 diocese priests abused them when they were children. “This settlement represents vindication for all the survivors of clergy sex abuse and is an acknowledgment of their very personal ordeals,” said Cindy Robinson, an attorney representing the victims.The victims, many of whom came from devout families, suffered problems including depression, difficulties with relationships and even attempted suicides after their abuse, said Jason Tremont, another attorney for the victims. The payout is believed to be the third-biggest settlement by a U.S. diocese since the scandal that has rocked the Roman Catholic Church broke in Boston in 2002 It will be funded through insurance and the sale of undeveloped surplus property, Lori said. The new settlement is the second in two years for the diocese. The diocese reached a settlement in 2001 involving five priests and 26 plaintiffs for an undisclosed sum. All settlements prior to the latest one total $16.7 million and involve 47 claims of sexual abuse of a minor, diocese officials said.There are four additional claims of abuse still pending in the diocese, Lori said. The latest settlement brings to more than 70 the number of victims of childhood sexual abuse in the diocese, according to Tremont & Sheldon, the firm representing the victims. “I would like to thank God for finally bringing this journey to an end and my prayer now is that all of the survivors and their families find closure and peace of mind,” Mario O. Jaiman, one of the victims, said in a statement.Jaiman, a 38-year-old Bridgeport resident, said he was abused several times, starting at the age of nine. Lori said all but one of the priests involved in the new settlement are inactive, and three are dead. Thirty-six of the cases involved abuse in the 1960s and 1970s, he said. Attorneys for the victims said the abuses continued into the early 1990s during the tenure of New York Cardinal Edward Egan when he was Bridgeport bishop.”Tremont & Sheldon believes that the Diocese of Bridgeport, including Cardinal Egan, allowed known sex abusers to continue on as active priests, enabling these offenders to have contact with children,” the law firm said in a statement announcing the settlement. Joseph Zwilling, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of New York, declined comment, referring questions back to Bridgeport.Of the priests named in the settlement, the Rev. Joseph Gorecki, the Rev. Richard Grady and the Rev. Alfred Bietighofer, are dead. Joseph DeShan and Martin Federici have been laicized, the diocese said. The Reverends William Donovan, Raymond Pcolka, Charles Stubbs, Stanley Bonaszek, Walter Coleman, Sherman Gray, Albert McGoldrick, Robert Morrissey, Vincent Veich and Henry Albeke are all inactive. The Rev. Martin Ryan was accused of misconduct

with a 17-year-old woman 25 years ago and is not considered a threat to children, church officials said.Albeke is the only priest whose name has not previously been made public in connection with the scandal, church officials said. Tremont said all of the priests should be laicized to ensure they never return to the priesthood. The complaint against Bietighofer, who killed himself last year, claims that he abused a boy at the rectory of the former St. Anthony of Padua Parish in Bridgeport from 1969 through the 1970s, when Bietighofer was pastor of the church.Bietighofer also was accused of abusing altar boys at Blessed Sacrament Church in Bridgeport. Another man claims in a lawsuit that Federici abused him on numerous occasions in 1967 in the rectory of St. Theresa’s Parish in Trumbull. About a half-dozen people previously have accused Federici of abusing them. Gorecki is accused in a third lawsuit of abusing a boy on numerous occasions between 1960 and 1964 at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Church in Bridgeport. One man claimed Stubbs abused him multiple times from 1967 to 1969 at St. Ann’s Church in Bridgeport and the former Notre Dame Girls High School in Bridgeport.

17. Priest John C. Albino Settled New York, NY: One of 4 priests who reportedly offered 16 yr old boy money for sex and verbally attacked him. Also accused of participating in mutual masturbation with the other priests while the boy watched. Suit filed 2000 and settled by 2002. Has been “removed from ministry.”In 2001, the Rev. John Albino, an assistant at St. Patrick’s, was one of four priests accused of sexually abusing a Bronx teen-ager. Father Albino had been assigned to a Bronx church at the time. He was sent to a treatment facility after a lawsuit was filed against him, and later removed from ministry.Priest-Sex Suit Makes Dad Pariah By Douglas Montero and Rod Dreher New York Post June 28, 2001A BRONX man says he and his family were treated like outcasts by Catholic Church leaders and fellow parishioners after he claimed that four priests had molested his teenage son. The father, a scripture-quoting Catholic who still holds fast to his faith, told The Post he tried for months to get church officials to do something about the situation before filing a lawsuit last year.As The Post reported last week, the suit charges that priests Ruben Rodriguez, Esteban Rodriguez, James Tamburrino and John Albino offered the man’s teenage son money for sexual favors between 1996 and 1999. The suit, which seeks unspecified damages from the archdiocese, the Carmelite Friars and St. Simon Stock parish, charges that the boy was “sexually violated, touched in an unwanted sexual manner, and sexually fondled” by the clergymen. The priests have filed papers denying the charge.The dad, a 49-yearold factory worker, said he filed the suit only after he was convinced it was the only way to get the church to make sure the accused clerics, three Carmelites and a diocesan priest, were treated for their “illness” and kept away from other children. Whenever he went to a church official, he said, he got only a runaround. “I didn’t want to damage the church,” said the father, whose name is being withheld by The Post to protect the identity of his son, who is now 22. “I wanted [the church] to address the issue, [to] discipline those who were responsible,” he said. “All they did was take them out of one parish and put them in another.” He reached out to people in his parish. Instead of getting help, he was tossed off the parish council. Mass-goers refused to acknowledge his family during the liturgical sign of peace, and turned away from them on the street. He said no

one from the parish or the archdiocese ever called to offer spiritual assistance.”This had a profound and painful effect on my family that I feel will be with us for many, many years,” he said. The dad said his faith in Jesus Christ hasn’t been shaken by the experience. In fact, he has embraced his religion even more strongly. “It’s simple, I’ll just be like [Jesus],” he said. “I’ll fight against this injustice.”Meanwhile, Monsignor John McCarthy, pastor of St. Patrick’s parish in Staten Island, where Albino had been transferred, has told the archdiocese that the priest went on vacation after The Post story broke. The whereabouts and official status of the other accused clerics, all Carmelites, could not be determined. The order’s lawyers did not return calls for comment. Ramon Alvarez, a friend of the father and now president of the parish council, said that when news of the charges first hit, the dad “was getting harassing phone calls at all hours of the night.”It’s a shame the way that man suffered.”Stunned Parish Stands by Its Priest in Boy-Sex

Case By Maria Alvarez, Douglas Montero and Hallie Levine The New York Post June 24, 2001Parishioners at a Staten Island church yesterday reacted with stunned disbelief to news that one of their priests has been accused of using a teen as a sex toy. “It’s a lie,” a congregant at St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in Richmondtown said of the accusation against the Rev. John Albino. She crossed herself and hurried away. Other parishioners seemed shocked and refused to comment on the allegations, first reported in yesterday’s Post.A lawsuit filed in Bronx Supreme Court charges that four priests – Albino, Rev. Ruben Rodriguez, Rev. Esteban Rodriguez and Rev. James Tamburrino – sexually abused a teenage boy several years ago. Between January 1996 and August 1998, the teen – who is now 21 – was given cash in exchange for sexual favors, witnessed the priests participate in “group masturbation” and was threatened with harm if he exposed their sexual escapades, the lawsuit states. The victim’s lawyer, Laurence M. Deutsch, has asked the community for help in finding others who may not have come forward.Rev. Ruben Rodriguez, the former pastor of the Simon Stock Church on Valentine Avenue, has flatly denied the allegations. Rodriguez – who has been at a parish in San Juan, Puerto Rico, since July 1999, told The Post that the trouble began in May 1999, when he sought to transfer Father Tamburrino in part because of the “close relationship” he had with the teen. He also claimed that he had learned that Tamburrino had been disciplined for sexual misconduct in Peru. Rodriguez claimed that Tamburrino retaliated by conspiring with the boy to spread “false rumors that the pastor and the other priests were molesting the teen.””Tamburrino was acting like a teenager around [the boy],” Rodriguez said. “They would go bike riding, fishing, to the movies.” When asked if he thought Tamburrino was intimately involved with the boy, as alleged in the suit, the former pastor said, “at the time I was scared that it could have happened. When I questioned him [Tamburrino] about it, he said, aewe’re just friends.’ And I took his word for it.” Tamburrino currently lives at the Carmelite priory in upstate Middletown and works for the Hospital for the Criminally Insane there. He refused to comment on the lawsuit.

18. Priest G.R. Keith Albrecht Accused Cincinnati, OH: Removed from duty 1993. Accused of abuse. He was kicked out of Franciscan Order in early 1970s prior to taking vows but ordained in Cincinnati in 1977. Civil suit filed 2004. Laicized by Vatican as of 10/05. 2004 suit alleging abuse

from 1977-1981 dismissed after Ohio Supreme Court.Man Sues Former Beavercreek Priest Cincinnati Archdiocese, Archbishop Also Named in Abuse Lawsuit By Amelia Robinson Dayton Daily News (Ohio) March 5, 2004XENIA

– A 39-year-old Cincinnati man has filed a lawsuit claiming a Catholic priest repeatedly molested him as a child while the priest served at a Beavercreek parish. The man seeks damages in excess of $2 million from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Archbishop Daniel Pilarczyk and Keith Albrecht, the former priest at St. Luke Church in Beavercreek./ 2002 that Albrecht “essentially conceded the allegation” that he had molested the boy during a counseling session in 1978. Andriacco and archdiocese attorney Mark Vander Laan said Thursday they had not seen the lawsuit and couldn’t comment on it. The plaintiff’s name was not disclosed in the lawsuit filed Thursday in Greene County Common Pleas Court, but the lawsuit claims the abuse occurred in Greene County from 1977 to 1981, when the plaintiff was between 14 and 17.”He lost his faith. He has had difficult relationships. He has suffered a great deal of anguish in trying to understand why this priest did this to him,” said attorney Konrad Kircher of Mason, who is representing the plaintiff and about 80 other clients in southwest Ohio who said they were abused by priests.Kircher said the plaintiff got to know Albrecht when the priest worked in Cincinnati. He visited Albrecht in Beavercreek after Albrecht transferred there in 1977 to be an associate priest, the attorney said. The lawsuit was filed despite a new $3 million victims compensation fund, which began taking applications Monday. The fund, created by the archdiocese as part of a plea bargain in a criminal case against the archdiocese in November, isn’t open to anyone who is suing the church. The lawsuit charges the archdiocese with negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, intentional infliction of emotional distress and corrupt activities.”Albrecht’s conduct was so outrageous and conspicuous that defendant Archdiocese was on notice of Albrecht’s grossly inappropriate relationship with minors by the late 1970s at the latest,” the lawsuit says.Albrecht was placed on administrative leave in 1993 for an allegation involving a boy at St. Luke. Dan Andriacco, spokesman for the Cincinnati Archdiocese, told the Dayton Daily News in Albrecht, who lives in Cincinnati, did not return phone messages. In a 2002 Daily News interview, Albrecht admitted having sexual contact with at least four teenage boys, the youngest of whom was 16, and numerous adult males, starting in 1978. Albrecht is not permitted to represent himself as a priest, wear a collar or celebrate Mass. The archdiocese attempted to defrock him in 1999 after he was caught saying Mass in New York. A three-judge tribunal allowed him to remain a priest; but Pilarczyk declared he would never be reinstated, Albrecht said in the 2002 interview.Albrecht is among the 14 Cincinnati archdiocese priests who are on leave because of substantiated allegations of sexual misconduct. The U.S. bishops’ 2002 “zero tolerance” policy requires that priests be permanently removed from ministry if there has been a single incident of sexual misconduct involving a child. Andriacco said Thursday none of the accused local priests has asked the Vatican to remove them from the priesthood, and he said he could not comment on whether the archdiocese is attempting to force a church trial to forcibly defrock any of the priests.

19. Priest John G Allen Accused Harrisburg, PA: Resigned 2002 after confronted with credible accusations that he abused a minor in approx. 1979. Other allegations made re his behavior in 1985 and claims of homosexual relationships with several young men who would come to visit him from the local college. Laicization announced in June, 2006.Harrisburg Man Awarded in Priest Sex Abuse Case Charges Back Allegations against Priest Named in RICO Suit Concerned Catholics Courier August 2005A 44-year-old Harrisburg man has received a settlement in a lawsuit alleging that a priest in the Harrisburg diocese, Fr. John G. Allen, sexually abused him repeatedly when he was a teenager in the 1970s. The resignation of Fr. Allen as pastor of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Church in suburban Harrisburg, following a credible allegation of sexual misconduct, received wide news coverage at the time it occurred, in April, 2002.But the subsequent lawsuit filed by William J. Hill against the Diocese of Harrisburg, Cardinal William Keeler and Bishop Nicholas Datillo, and the resulting settlement in 2004 were not reported by the media. In June, however, Mr. Hill revealed information to Concerned Catholics Courier regarding the lawsuit and settlement. Mr. Hill’s allegations against Father Allen, which the Diocese of Harrisburg found credible, support allegations made in a federal lawsuit filed by former seminarian Philip Hower charging priestly sexual misconduct and subsequent cover-ups by various bishops, including Cardinal Keeler.Mr. Hower’s suit, filed August 4, 2004, in U.S. District Court in Arizona, alleges, under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), a conspiracy to block his ordination to the priesthood by a number of dioceses and their bishops, because he was a whistleblower who reported the homosexual misconduct of various priests. The suit alleges that the defendant bishops and dioceses deprived Hower of a livelihood and defrauded him, as they did other members of the Roman Catholic Church, by using their contributions to obstruct justice, perpetrate additional fraud, and maintain and support a criminal enterprise. The lawsuit claims that Mr. Hower’s troubles began when he was a seminarian in the Diocese of Harrisburg. Hower had received his Bachelor’s degree from the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio, and was studying for his Master of Theology degree there when, as part of his pre-ordination training, he was assigned to St. Pius X parish in Selinsgrove, Pa., to work as a summer intern under the supervision of the pastor, Fr. John G. Allen.During his internship, the suit claims, Hower was ordered by Allen to vacate the rectory on a regular basis. Mr. Hower learned from parishioners and from the permanent deacon of the parish, John Rocco, that Allen engaged in inappropriate behavior with the young men from the local university, located across the street from the rectory, during those times when he was barred from the rectory, the suit states. Hower complained to then-Bishop of the Harrisburg Diocese and now Cardinal of the Baltimore Archdiocese, William Keeler, through appropriate channels, that Allen was committing various sexually related acts and possible criminal acts within the rectory, the suit continued.Keeler responded to Mr. Hower’s concerns in a manner that has come to typify the responses of the Defendants herein to the receipt of reports that they and their friends and associates have been seen and observed in engaging in sexual debauchery, the suit charges; that is, Keeler contacted the Josephinum and ordered that Mr. Hower be dropped from the educational career path for priests and directed

that Plaintiff leave the Diocese of Harrisburg so that he could contemplate his commitment to God and to the Church. In essence, Plaintiff Philip A. Hower was fired from his job and banished. The suit charges that The Roman Catholic Church in North America has become a haven for sexually perverted men who seek and obtain employment in it as priests and other officials, so as to be provided with a steady supply of potential targets for their sexually depraved and abusive conduct while earning an income of some substance with minimum effort.The allegations in William Hill’s lawsuit, which he filed in May 2002, corroborate Hower’s portrait of Father Allen as an habitual homosexual predator of adolescent boys and young men. According to Hill’s suit, in 1971, at the age of 10, William was placed in the Sylvan Heights Catholic Home in Dauphin County, Pa., an orphanage owned and maintained by the Diocese of Harrisburg. That same year young William was allegedly sexually fondled by a female house parent from the orphanage while on a bus tour. Subsequently, the suit states, house parents and other adults forced the boy to participate in a séance, in which they attempted to contact his recently deceased grandfather. From time to time, according to the suit, other female residents older than William would force him into having sexual relations. The boy was released from the orphanage to his parents when he was 14 years old. At age 15, the suit states, Hill met Fr. John Allen, a Catholic priest in the Harrisburg Diocese.At that first encounter Father Allen allegedly told Hill that he was employed by the Harrisburg Diocese and that his job was to help children free themselves from drugs and alcohol. Father Allen then seduced the youth, the suit states, beginning with hugging and kissing and gradually escalating to mutual masturbation and penetration. Hill allegedly was sexually abused by Father Allen on numerous occasions in the rectory of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, on St. Patrick’s School grounds, the rectory of St. Francis of Assisi Church, in Father Allen’s vehicle, and in other locations.Diocesan Defendants knew of the sexual abuse of minors by a number of Diocesan priests, including Fr. John Allen, Fr. Augustine Giella, Fr. Thomas Lawler, Fr. James Noel, Fr. Joseph M. Pease and others, the suit states, and that such abusive behavior was a longstanding problem within the Diocese. But, the suit charges, the primary concern of the Diocesan Defendants has been the protection of its priests, including Fr. John Allen and others like him.To this end, the defendants concealed the danger that predator priests presented by misrepresenting them as priests in good standing, enabling their continued unrestricted access to minors, transferring the priests to other parishes, and failing to report their misconduct to authorities, the suit alleges. The defendants employed a closed, secret system of internal reporting of sexual misconduct by their servants, including the use of code words, the suit charges. Information as to the known criminal conduct of Diocese priests was kept secret and confidential in secret archive files within the exclusive control of Keeler, Datillo and their predecessors, the suit states. The active involvement of Keeler, Datillo and others acting on behalf of the Diocese in creating a safe and protected environment for known predator priests, including Father Allen, was not discovered by the Plaintiff until various stories began appearing in the media in early 2002, the suit states.Mr. Hill’s suit was settled out of court on May 5, 2004. He received $150,000 in damages.

20. Priest Peter A Allen Accused Rockville Centre, NY: Placed on leave from Our Lady of Good Counsel Church in 12/06 after prosecutors told diocese of credible allegation of abuse by one person. Investigation is continuing. In 2003, Allen is mentioned in a civil suit filed against Fr. Eugene Vollmer and Diocese. Suit says he knew or should have known of abuse of 4 boys by Vollmer at rectory of St. Joseph’s parish in Ronkonkoma.Priest on Leave after Allegation Diocese Takes Action after Mattituck Cleric Is Accused of Sexual Misconduct; Suffolk DA Investigating By John Moreno Gonzales Newsday [Long Island NY] December 19, 2006http://www.newsday.com/news/local/longisland/nyliprie195021621dec19,0,5487828.story? coll=ny-linews-headlinesSuffolk prosecutors are investigating an allegation of sexual misconduct against a Roman Catholic priest in Mattituck, who has also been placed on administrative leave by the diocese, both the church and district attorney’s office confirmed late yesterday. The “credible allegation” against the Rev. Peter Allen of Our Lady of Good Counsel Church came from a single person and appears to involve one incident, Diocese of Rockville Centre spokesman Sean Dolan said yesterday, declining to provide further details. Suffolk district attorney’s office spokesman Robert Clifford confirmed that Allen was the subject of a sexual misconduct probe involving one alleged victim, but also declined to offer more information.”In terms of criminal charges being levied, that has not happened,” Clifford said. “The case is under investigation.”Dolan said the church learned of the matter Dec. 12, when prosecutors briefed them on the accusation. Allen was placed on administrative leave the next day, Dolan said, and Bishop Emil Wcela stood in for the cleric during subsequent services and told parishioners that Allen had been removed pending an investigation. No announcement was made to the larger public because of the preliminary nature of the case, Dolan said. “When we learned of the allegation, the diocese took immediate action,” Dolan said. “This is an isolated incident that was dealt with at the individual parish itself. I think this is the appropriate level of response.”The investigation of Allen comes less than a month after Roman Catholic priest Thomas G. Saloy, 45, pleaded guilty to a single charge of possession of child pornography in his rectory in Roosevelt.Peggy O’Neill, a co-chairwoman of the Long Island Voice of the Faithful, a group formed in response to the Roman Catholic sexual abuse scandals of recent years, said the cases illustrated the public needs to be “super vigilant” and report any incidents of sexual misconduct by clerics because they are in a unique position of trust. O’Neill also applauded the diocese for quickly talking to parishioners about Allen. “It certainly is different from the way they acted in the past,” she said. “The response was never that quick and open.”

21. Priest Richard J. Allen Accused St. Petersburg, FL: In 2002 man notified diocese of accusations of abuse by Allen when the man was 12-13 yrs old. Went on for 2 years.

In 5/02 Diocese acknowledged that Allen’s file did not raise any red flags during the Diocese’s review of files of 240 active priests.Accused, Another Priest Resigns By Mike Brassfield, Waveney Ann Moore and Chuck Murphy St.

Petersburg Times [Florida] April 27, 2002For the second time in two weeks, an area Catholic priest has abruptly resigned after a complaint surfaced that he molested a youth in the 1970s. The Rev. Richard Allen, pastor of St. Matthew Catholic Church in Largo, left his ministry Friday after learning that a St. Petersburg man reported to police that Allen fondled him 30 years ago. The 58-year-old priest, who had a long and colorful tenure in the Tampa Bay area, resigned when Bishop Robert N. Lynch asked him about the allegations. The sudden departure shocked Allen’s Largo church, where he was loved and respected. “He is wonderful and is a wonderful priest,” said Mary Ellen Sharp, who has attended St. Matthew for 16 years. “I loved his sermons.”Allen’s resignation comes as local law enforcement officials are investigating several complaints from people who say they were sexually abused by priests decades ago. St. Petersburg police have received at least six such complaints in the past two weeks, said Maj. Ron Hartz, who supervises the Police Department’s youth resources division. “We have a couple of open investigations going on,” Hartz said. “But most of the cases are being closed because the victim doesn’t want to prosecute, or the statute of limitations has run out, or we cannot prove that it occurred.” No police investigations of priests have been made public in Pasco or Hillsborough counties. St. Petersburg police are investigating the complaint against Allen, who has not been charged with a crime.William Welch, 41, says Allen fondled him in the early 1970s, when Welch was an adolescent and Allen was a newly ordained priest at St. Petersburg’s Holy Family Catholic Church. Welch says he stayed at the priest’s Clearwater home on some weekends when he was 12 or 13. Allen was a trusted family friend, Welch says. He accuses the priest of “mostly groping.” Welch says he has post-traumatic stress disorder because of the abuse he suffered as a boy. He says he has attempted suicide several times. Court records show that as recently as 1998 he has been held under the state’s Baker Act, which allows police to take into custody people deemed to be a threat to themselves or others. He lives on disability, residing in a small cottage in St. Petersburg. He also is a patient at PEMHS, or Personal Enrichment through Mental Health Services, a psychiatric facility in Pinellas Park. “I want to stop this from happening to other children,” he said. Welch called St. Petersburg police on Tuesday to file a report against Allen. He called the St. Petersburg Times on Thursday to discuss his allegations. That started a chain of events that led to Allen’s abrupt resignation.The Times contacted the Diocese of St. Petersburg on Thursday to ask about the complaint against Allen. Diocesan officials said they had not heard about the allegations.On Friday morning, Bishop Lynch visited the priest to discuss the complaint. “My understanding is that he immediately resigned,” said diocese attorney Joseph DiVito. “Bishop Lynch accepted it.” DiVito did not know whether Allen denied the accusation. The lawyer said he considered the situation extraordinary because the diocese has not received a complaint from Allen’s accuser, and has not been contacted by police. “We acted on the call we received from your newspaper,” DiVito said. DiVito is nearly finished reviewing the personnel files of every active priest in the diocese to make sure any past sexual allegations have been properly investigated. But Allen’s file contained no previous allegations of misconduct. The swiftness of Allen’s resignation caught Lynch and the diocese staff by surprise. A week ago, they

were able to keep quiet about the resignation of Hudson priest Robert Schaeufele for several days until Lynch first could inform parishioners at Schaeufele’s church at weekend services. Schaeufele, who like Allen had been a local priest for nearly three decades, abruptly resigned last week after being accused of sexual misconduct with a minor during the 1970s. Allen did not return phone calls from the Times on Thursday and Friday.In past interviews, Allen has spoken eloquently about how he liked being a priest, how he enjoyed helping troubled people. In the early 1970s, he was known around south Pinellas County as “Papa Dick, the hippie priest,” sporting a long beard and long hair. He worked with street people and counseled young drug users at free clinics in St. Petersburg and Clearwater. “When I got too old for street work, I got involved in mental health,” Allen said in 1995, when he was an associate pastor at a Spring Hill church. One of his specialties, he said, was working with sex abusers – particularly with abusers who had trouble admitting their problem.Most recently, Allen was pastor at St. Matthew Catholic Church at 9111 90th Ave. N in Largo. A few parishioners who heard the news Friday were stunned. Some parents gathered with their children at the church as a Brownie troop prepared to go camping. They spoke of Allen as a priest committed to social justice. He often spoke against domestic violence and in favor of a living wage for all. His sermons were always relevant, they said. Wendy Swertfeger spoke of Allen’s ministry to the deaf. “He does a whole Mass in sign language,” she said. In the most recent church bulletin, Allen announced that he planned to speak to parishioners about the sexual abuse scandal facing the Catholic church this Sunday. “There will be time for questions and hopefully answers,” Allen wrote. “I offer this opportunity to help the parish face this crisis of faith and trust.”- Times staff writer Leanora Minai and researcher Cathy Wos contributed to this report.

22. Priest Robert Allgaier Convicted Omaha, NE: Archbishop knew of allegation of child pornography in 2001 but reassigned him to middle school after evaluation. Only removed in 2002 just prior to charges being filed. Pleaded guilty to attempted possession of child pornography for using computers to view internet photos of children involved in sex acts. Sentenced to 2 years probation. Finally left priesthood in 2005. On sex offender registry.Child-Pornography Charge Filed Against Nebraska Priest By Julia McCord Omaha World Herald March 1, 2002The Madison County attorney Thursday filed a single misdemeanor charge of attempted possession of child pornography against a priest recently posted to Ralston. A Monday arraignment was scheduled for the Rev. Robert Allgaier, who until last June served as assistant pastor at a Norfolk church. Allgaier has been under investigation by Norfolk police since October, when police received a complaint that he had viewed child pornography on a computer in the office of Sacred Heart-St. Mary Catholic Church in Norfolk.The formal charge against Allgaier – attempted possession of visual depictions of sexually explicit conduct involving minors – is a Class III misdemeanor. It carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a $ 500 fine. County Attorney Joseph Smith said the investigation is continuing. Allgaier will not be arrested, Smith said, adding that he has “absolute faith” that the priest will be in court Monday. The Rev. Michael Gutgsell, chancellor of the Omaha Archdiocese, said, “He will be at that arraignment.” Gutgsell said it hasn’t been

determined who will represent Allgaier. Allgaier was an assistant pastor at Sacred Heart-St. Mary from June 1998 to June 2001, when he was transferred by the archdiocese to St. Gerald Catholic Church in Ralston as an assistant pastor. He was removed from the parish last weekend and has left Nebraska. He was removed from the parish last weekend and has left Nebraska. Archdiocesan officials have declined to say where Allgaier is or whether he is undergoing treatment. Allgaier admitted to a Norfolk police investigator Feb. 20 that he has viewed child pornography several times a week for two to three hours at a time since his last year of seminary in 1998, court documents show. Allgaier was ordained in 1998. Thursday’s charge addresses activities allegedly committed between Aug. 29, 2000, and Jan. 20, 2001.The statute of limitations in misdemeanor cases is 18 months and any alleged infraction occurring before Aug. 29, 2000, is off-limits. Jan. 20, 2001, is the date Catholic officials learned of Allgaier’s alleged activities. The officials — Gutgsell, Archbishop Elden Curtiss and the Rev. Dave Belt, pastor of Sacred Heart-St. Mary Church — did not contact the Norfolk police. The police learned of the alleged activities through the complaint made to them in October. Police searched Allgaier’s Ralston residence and the Sacred Heart-St. Mary Church offices on Feb. 20 and Feb. 22. They found nothing incriminating in Ralston, but seized a computer used by Allgaier at the Norfolk church offices. The contents are being analyzed. Smith did not wait for the results before filing the charge. He said evidence already in hand supported the charge. And time was a factor, he said. “The longer I wait, the more I can’t include,” he said.Earlier Thursday, several St. Gerald parishioners said they were completely in the dark about the allegations. “We were not aware until the story broke (over the weekend),” said Russell Iwan, a parish council member. “I was kind of shocked.” Jaye McCoy, whose son is a first-grader at St. Gerald school, said she, too, was floored by the allegations.Allgaier taught religion at the school and worked with the St. Gerald youth group. McCoy said Allgaier was a gifted preacher who was popular with adults and children alike. “That’s why this came as a shock to everybody,” she said. “There were no tell-tale signs.” St. Gerald school is providing counselors for students who want to talk, said Principal Dave Garland. The school has 320 students in grades kindergarten through six. St. Joan-St. Gerald Middle School also had counselors on hand Thursday, said the principal, Sister Tish Connelly. Allgaier taught religion there on Thursdays – the seventh grade one week and the eighth grade the next week, she said. Connelly said her students “are doing real well.” “The counselors have been excellent with them,” she said. “Our kids are great.”

But two lawyers in a downtown conference room this month witnessed the most startling revelation of his life: Acosta admitted in a sworn deposition to sexual relations with at least three teenage boys in 1983 as a cleric and teacher at Mary Help of Christians School in Tampa. Before taking the stage at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center on Friday evening, Acosta talked about the statements he made under oath. He said he would ask the show’s producer to fire him that night because his past was about to become public. A local prosecutor said law enforcement should review the statements for possible criminal charges. “I’m actually numb,” Acosta said before taking the stage. “This is probably going to destroy my life.” Acosta, 48, testified Feb. 7 as part of a $5 million civil lawsuit against the now-closed school and the Catholic order that operated it, the Salesian Society and the Salesian Society of Florida. He said he “fully cooperated” in giving the deposition to Adam Horowitz, a Miami lawyer representing two former students, and Richard Beran, a New Jersey lawyer representing the religious order. Acosta brought no lawyer with him. His past actions have caused him “profound shame and horror,” Acosta said. “I will for the rest of my life be horribly ashamed for what happened, but I have a track record of working with children for 20 years without a single other incident.” “I have spent the last 20 years of my life trying to be a good person, and I have done a lot of good for children. I hope people can see.” He trailed off. “The things I have done when I was 24 and in a very confused state of mind – those things don’t negate the good that I have done since.” Acosta never forgot the academic year he spent at Mary Help of

Christians School, where he told a principal about inappropriate contact with two boys, according to the deposition. The contact was never reported to law enforcement, Horowitz said.

Starting in 2002, named in several suits alleging abuse in 1970s. Personnel file includes 1993 complaint that Ahern abused a boy age 13 in 1960s, and an allegation that he molested an altar boy 1959-1961 in Richmond VA diocese while pastor. Also worked in New York and Boston archdioceses. Omitted from 2011 Boston AD database because he was order priest. Deceased. The director of the Stigmatine’s Camp Elm Bank in Wellesley in the 1960s, Ahern allegedly took advantage of a 13-year-old boy who had lost his father, ordering two other teens to hold him down while he masturbated him, a

1993 complaint asserts. “The two boys held me down, while Fr. Ahern began to touch my penis and testicles. . . . When I climaxed, I felt so ashamed as if I were toblame.” Ahern and another priest, whose full name was not included in the complaint, together abused the victim in another weekend incident, the complaint reads. Ahern, who died last year, was the subject of another complaint by an altar boy who served when Ahern was a pastor at Our Lady of Angels Church in Woodbridge, Va., between 1959 and 1961. An altar boy ultimately alerted the area bishop that Ahern, during those two years, allegedly “seduced and sexually abused” him.

91. Vicentian (C.M.) Priest Joseph Agostino Accused Brooklyn, NY: Man notified Diocese and Order in 2003 that Agostino had abused him. Order investigated and could not find sufficient information to support the allegations. He was not removed from duties but Bishop did meet with the accuser. In 4/09 the same man came forward again, this time with more evidence and proof that he was a minor at the time of the abuse. Diocese told County DA and Order removed Agostino from duty at St. John the Baptist pending further investigation. On April 24, 2009, a complaint of sexual abuse against the Reverend Joseph Agostino, C.M., pastor of Saint John the Baptist Church in BedfordStuyvesant, Brooklyn, was reported to the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Victims Assistance Hotline 1(888)-634-4499 (tel:1(888)-634-4499). The complaint was immediately referred to the King’s County District attorney’s office. The Congregation of the Mission, Father Agostino’s order of priests, subsequently informed Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio that it has launched an investigation into the allegations of abuse by Father Agostino, and that he was removed from ministry pending the outcome of the investigation. Father Agostino denies the allegations. In 2003 a report of sexual abuse was made against Father Agostino by the same individual who has made the new allegation. At that time, the individual did not indicate that he was a minor when the alleged abuse took place. Additionally, an investigation conducted by the Congregation of the Mission determined that there was not then sufficient evidence to support the allegations. As a result, Father Agostino was not removed from his position. Bishop Thomas V. Daily, then Bishop of Brooklyn, also met with the alleged victim in 2003, and the Congregation of the Mission’s investigation and decision were upheld. On April 24, 2009, the individual presented new information that indicated he was a minor at the time of the alleged abuse. He also presented more specific and detailed information than was previously reported. This has prompted the new investigation and Father Agostino’s removal from ministry at this time. The Diocese of Brooklyn’s Victim Assistance Coordinator, Sister Ellen Patricia Finn, O.P., stated she has been in regular contact with the victim and that he is availing himself of services made available by the Diocese. The Very Reverend Michael J. Carroll, C.M., Provincial of the Congregation of the Mission, said, “While at this time these are allegations, the fact that they have been made shame all of us in the Congregation. If true, these actions are indefensible and unacceptable.” Father Carroll will speak to the Saint John the Baptist community at the parish mass this Sunday, May 10, 2009. In a letter to the people of Saint John the Baptist, Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio asked parishioners to pray for all victims of abuse by clergy. “The facts here remain to be established. Nevertheless, on behalf of the Diocese and in

my own name, I am deeply sorry for the pain and suffering that has been inflicted upon victims of abuse by any priest. As Catholic Christians it is confusing how any priest, a minister of Christ’s love, could commit acts of evil against young people. We are all as hamed. At the same time, the courage and strength of those victims that come forward is to be greatly admired.”

Alejandro Jose Castillo, 57, was arrested Monday at his home in Ontario. Castillo was charged with seven counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14 and one count of forcible lewd and lascivious acts with a child under age 14. The alleged acts occurred between October and

December 2008 while Castillo was pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Ontario, according to the criminal complaint. If convicted, Castillo faces up to 22 years in prison, Ontario police said. Police believe there were at least four other victims, Ontario police Sgt. David McBride said. Police are continuing to investigate an alleged incident involving a 14-year-old boy for possible charges, he said. The cases involving the other three alleged victims cannot be prosecuted because the one-year statute of limitations expired for the alleged offenses, said David Hidalgo, supervising deputy district attorney for San Bernardino County. One of the alleged victims is a brother of the 12-year-old and was the subject of similar sexual conduct during the same time period but was 16 when the alleged offense occurred, which makes it misdemeanor sexual battery instead of a felony, Hidalgo said. Sexual battery includes actions such as fondling and groping, he said. Another alleged act of sexual battery was committed against an 18-year-old man at St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Church in Rialto in 2000 and against a 23-year-old man in 2006, apparently at Our Lady of Guadalupe, Hidalgo said.

65. Priest Richard “Rick” Castillo Accused Pensacola-Tallahassee, FL: Castillo admitted to abusing 4 boys. Reported to Police in 1996 but statute had run. Parents had to file a release saying they would not file civil suit to get diocese to pay for ongoing therapy. Two brothers said they had previously told Diocese of abuse but were ignored. He was permanently barred from ministry, sent for treatment, and barred from contact with children. A Roman Catholic priest has admitted engaging in sexual misconduct with four men when they were in their teens, his bishop said. The admission by the Rev. Richard Castillo, 43, came after months of evaluation and treatment, the Most Rev. John H. Ricard, bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, said on Monday. “These admissions effectively relieve Father Castillo of any pastoral duties in the diocese,” Ricard said. “The Diocese deeply regrets the injuries caused by one of its own priests and offers a sincere apology to those who were injured.” Castillo was relieved of his duties at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Quincy in April. He enrolled himself in a church-run medical center to undergo a mental evaluation and is continuing to receive treatment there, Ricard said.

66. Priest Richard “Rick” Castillo Accused Pensacola-Tallahassee, FL: Castillo admitted to abusing 4 boys. Reported to Police in 1996 but statute had run. Parents had to file a release saying they would not file civil suit to get diocese to pay for ongoing therapy. Two brothers saud they had previously told Diocese of abuse but were ignored. He was permanently barred from ministry, sent for treatment, and barred from contact with children. In the summer of 1989, the Pensacola boy was 16 and hung out with his friends at the rented beachfront summer house of the Rev. Richard Castillo. Castillo’s parties were well-known to local teens, he provided beer to his underage guests and a place to crash if they overindulged. Then came the night the boy got drunk and, hours later, awoke to find the priest performing oral sex on him. The boy did not tell his parents. Patrick and Janice Watts found out in late 1996, when their son told his story to a criminal court judge to reduce his 12-year sentence on a DUI manslaughter charge. When the Wattses repeated his allegations to the diocese’s leader, Bishop John Ricard, they got the response victims routinely receive from the Catholic Church: verbal support, counseling and

assurances that their child’s attacker would be prevented from harming other children. But the family also discovered that the well of compassion often dries up if a cleric’s accuser goes public. Or sues _ as the Wattses’ son threatened to do when the church refused to pay for his postprison therapy. Nevertheless, it took a signed release saying the Wattses would not file a civil lawsuit to get the diocese to pay for ongoing therapy, Janice Watts said. Neither Ricard nor other area priests would talk to the family after their initial conference, she said.

67. Priest Willebaldo Castro Sued Los Angeles, CA: Accused of abuse between 1973-1978. LA archdiocese counts 4 accusers. Extern priest from Mexico working in Archdiocese as of 1956.

Shortly thereafter Victim #40, began seeing Fr. Castro for counseling. Fr. Castro took advantage of Victim #40’s vulnerability and began introducing sex education into the counseling sessions. Fr. Castro then began assaulting Victim #40, who was an adolescent at the time. Fr. Castro sexually assaulted Victim #40, at, among other locations, the grounds of the parish. The assaults by Fr. Castro are now the subject of a currently filed lawsuit. Additionally, Fr. Castro has been identified as the perpetrator in no less than three (3) currently filed lawsuits from his time while assigned to St. Mary’s in Santa Maria, and St. Alphonsus in Los Angeles.

68. Priest Pasquale R Catullo Accused Philadelphia, PA: Accused in 1969 of abuse of a female high school student.

Lynn to Msgr. James Molloy (released 2/27/12) re priests in secret archives who were guilty of sexual misconduct with a minor.

69. Priest Mauro J. Cautela Accused Pittsburgh, PA: Placed on leave Aug. 2005 after allegations of “serious improprieties” that were apparently financial and sexual in nature. Age of accuser was unknown. Cautela collapsed and died Dec. 2005. The Rev. Mauro Cautela, a parish priest in the Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh since 1974, has been removed from public ministry while state police investigate what the diocese termed “serious allegations of improprieties.” While details are unavailable, the allegations appear to be both financial and sexual in nature. Cautela, 57, had been pastor of Holy Redeemer in Ellwood City since 1992 and served as dean of all Lawrence County parishes. According to the Rev. Ronald Lengwin, spokesman for the diocese, allegations were first brought to the diocese Aug. 17.

On Wednesday, Cautela was placed on administrative leave and resigned as pastor of Holy Redeemer, and diocesan officials gave the allegations to Lawrence County District Attorney Matthew Mangino.

70. Priest Lawrence A. Cavell Accused Houma-Thibodaux, LA: Removed 3/03 after allegations arose that he solicitated a minor for sex in late 1980s, prior to his ordination. Cavell, who had just gone on health leave from St. Mary’s Nativity Chursh when the allegations arose, admitted to the single offense. Diocese said incident involved “words, not acts.” Cavell was said to be considering

leaving the priesthood. No further information found. The former pastor of a Raceland Catholic church has been suspended for soliciting a minor more than 15 years ago, before he was ordained. The incident is the only one in the Rev. Lawrence A. Cavell’s history, and involved words, not acts, said Louis Aguirre, spokesman for the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux. He said Cavell, 46, former pastor of St. Mary’s Nativity Church admitted to “solicitation of a minor” when he was confronted last month with questions about his past. He already had left the parish for health reasons. The minor, now an adult, asked that all details – including geographical information and gender – be kept confidential, Aguirre said.

71. Priest Nicholas V. Cudemo Sued Philadelphia, PA: Accused of abuse of between 11-16 young girls in 1960s and 1970s. Archdiocese first learned of abuse in 1991. Sued in 1992. Placed on leave 1996. Laicized 3/21/05. Named in new Grand Jury report 2/10/11. Cardinal B. admitted in 2003 depo that Cudemowas allowed to remain active because a priest “has rights”; “If we tried to remove him, he could bring action.” Named as diagnosed pedophile in secret 1994 memo from Wm. Lynn to Msgr. Molloy (released 2/27/12). Testimony re him in 2012 trial of Msgr. Lynn Father Nicholas V. Cudemo, ordained in 1963, was described to the Grand Jury as “one of sickest people I ever knew” by Monsignor James E. Molloy, Cardinal Bevilacqua’s Vicar for Administration. Father Cudemo raped an 11-year-old girl, molested a fifth grader in the confessional, invoked God to seduce and shame his victims, and maintained sexually abusive relationships simultaneously with several girls from the Catholic school where he was a teacher. His own family sued him for molesting a cousin. Yet, with serious allegations against the priest on record, Cardinal Bevilacqua twice promoted him to serve as pastor of Philadelphia parishes. Only after victims threatened to name the Cardinal and the Archdiocese in a lawsuit was Fr. Cudemo removed from his pastorate. Even so, in January 1997, after the victims withdrew their lawsuit, the Cardinal’s Secretary for Clergy, Monsignor William Lynn, presented Fr. Cudemo with a certificate declaring him “a retired priest in good standing in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia,” and asking that he be permitted to function as a priest in any other diocese in the country. Monsignor Lynn issued this certificate one year after a panel of pastors had recommended Fr. Cudemo’s removal as pastor due to “several grave causes” and despite the Archdiocese’s knowledge of at least 10 separate allegations against the priest involving sexual abuse of girls. In March 2003, Fr. Cudemo told one of his former victims that the certificate was allowing him to minister in Orlando, Florida, where he now lives part-time. Perhaps most disturbing, and revealing, about the Archdiocese’s handling of Fr. Cudemo’s abuse of children is that Church officials have never admitted or acknowledged their misplaced priorities. In 2003, long after the priest’s many abuses were well known to the Archdiocese, Cardinal Bevilacqua continued in his Grand Jury testimony to defend the Church’s handling of Fr. Cudemo’s case. He did so in the face of overwhelming evidence – that Archdiocese managers had ignored or failed to follow up reports of abuse; that they had concealed information from and lied to parishioners; that they had allowed Fr. Cudemo to remain in place long after his abuse was well known, even after he refused treatment; and, finally, that they had permitted Fr. Cudemo to retire early and

continue acting as a priest rather than remove him from ministry. A list of some of the victims identified in evidence before the Grand Jury makes clear both Fr. Cudemo’s unrelenting depravity and the extent of Church leaders’ knowledge when they kept reassigning the priest. This list includes only those girls who were the subject of formal complaints made to Archdiocesan managers. It does not include the names of girls that the Archdiocese learned of either secondhand from the victims who came forward or from the priest himself.
