When Will Fr. Bob Pierson Be Disciplined?

Fr. Pierson made this shameful speech in June. I can find nothing anywhere to indicate he has been disciplined. Apparently publicly attacking the teachings of the Church because your "conscience" tells you to is A-okay. Pierson is a Benedictine monk at St. John's in Collegeville, MN which has a reputation for being riddled with gays, a number of whom were abusing children.

But Fr. Pierson doesn't just talk about his approval for gay sex, he runs the guest house at St. John's and allowed the scheduling of an LGBT "naked retreat" where participants would take off their clothing and touch one another. Fr. Pierson was the one who scheduled it and he is the treasurer of the sponsoring organization. The retreat ended up being cancelled when faithful Catholics exposed it, although who ordered the cancellation is unclear. Check out the description of the retreat here (It doesn't mention the getting naked part.) and note the contact email for Fr. Pierson.

Fr. Pierson illustrates what Fr. Haley warned against. Gay priests are undermining the Church and the hierarchy won't touch these guys. Why not? How many Fr. Piersons are out there hiding their identity pretending to give up wife and family to be the bridegroom of Holy Mother Church? I suspect their name is legion. The fact that this priest has apparently suffered no consequences for his in-your-face challenge to Church teachings and blatant promotion of sodomite activity indicates something very sick in the Benedictine Abbey in Collegeville and in the diocese of St. Cloud.

It is a deep irony that this renegade priest, whose lack of fidelity is on YouTube for all to see, remains a priest in good standing attacking the faith while Fr. Haley has been forcibly removed from the priesthood and excommunicated. Something is sick in the state of Rome.

Bishop Matthew Clark is exactly the reason for the sex abuse scandals!

Rochester bishop: Vatican isn’t against homosexuals entering priesthood

Bishop Clark has been a scandal to the Church for years. Here's a partial description of his dissent-ridden history.


His shameless promotion of homosexuals in the priesthood fits perfectly with enabling abuser priests who he described as "afflicted, not sinful." (Tell that to the parents of the victims, especially those who committed suicide!)

The priest sex abuse scandals primarily involved homosexuals raping and molesting pubescent boys, but you'd never know it from Clark's eulogy to homosexual priests. (What's so holy about living a lie? Homosexuals don't "give up" marriage and family, they join a boys' club where they live and socialize with those to whom they are attracted.)

Most of the victims of sex abuse as shown in the Jay Report were young teen boys. The only reason the abusers could continue as long as they did, many for decades, is they were enabled by senior clergy, i.e., pastors and bishops. And Matthew Clark is the poster bishop for gay promotion. In 2005 he was among a handful of U.S. bishops considered the most gay friendly by the Rainbow Sash Movement (Catholic homosexuals who celebrate their depraved lifestyle and demand to receive Communion while wearing the "rainbow sash" that identifies their activism). Clark promoted this heretical group from its early days. Here's a portion of a 1997 article from Catholic Insight reported at Cleansing Fire:

“Rochester, NY – On March 1, Bishop Clark celebrated Mass in Sacred Heart Cathedral for 1300 “gays,” lesbians and their “families.” Well advertised beforehand, they came from as far away as Buffalo and Syracuse, some dressed in leather and chains, many coming as couples holding hands, women out-numbering men three to one, all being welcomed effusively, first by fifteen priests in attendance and then by Bishop Clark and his female master of ceremonies. The bishop joked and was full of good cheer; several times he referred to “their integrity, goodness and wonderful gifts” for the community, in an address which was enthusiastically interrupted by applause.

At Communion time everyone–Catholics, non-Catholics, non-Christians–came forward. Two men received the Host from the bishop and then faced each other, and gave each other the Host. Many lesbians followed this example. There was much kissing and holding of hands.

Outside the Cathedral some 80 demonstrators gave witness to the Church’s true teaching. It would have been more courageous for the bishop, to tell the group, said one, “that if you are not in the state of grace you can’t receive the body and blood of Christ.” But the bishop made no such announcement.”

Aren't you sorry you weren't there? Clark is about as Catholic as Martin Luther, only Luther had more integrity because he left the Church. Clark has stayed around undermining the faith throughout his "career" (one can hardly call it a vocation). It is more than disheartening to see these wolves in sheep's clothing tearing at the heart of the Church with bared fangs and bloody claws. How many have lost their faith or never learned it because of this scandalous "teacher."

Under Clark, the Diocese of Rochester has collapsed. He governs a shrinking local Church, has closed most of the schools and many churches. And there are few vocations (probably a blessing). Clark turns 75 in July 2012, mandatory retirement age. It can't come too soon for many in his flock who have suffered the scourge of his irresponsible governance for years. I think they'll join me next year in saying, "Hie thee to a monastery, Bishop Clark, and ponder the ruin you've made of the poor Church in Rochester. The day of reckoning approaches."

Pray for all bishops and priests, especially the Judases among them. May they turn to the Lord seeking his forgiveness before the day of reckoning.

Another Gay Priest Scandalizing the Church

What would you think if your pastor had a work background that included being a gay prostitute and a bartender in a gay bar? Would you want him teaching your children about the faith? In fact, would you want your ten-year-old son or grandson in the sacristy alone with him? Or around him at all? Especially when he publicly debunked Church teaching on sexual morality and other doctrine?

Well, Fr. Haley is out in the cold although he was solidly orthodox and often preached on the hard issues: abortion, contraception, etc. But here's a priest in Quebec who, not only publicly defies the Church, but makes no bones about his gay past. (We can only wonder about his present.)

Check out Fr. Gravel who is suing LifeSiteNews Canada for saying he is "pro-abortion." He claims they defamed him since he is "pro-choice." Makes you wonder if Fr. Gravel knows the meaning of the word hypocrite!

Archbishop Weakland: Out of the Closet

Surprise, surprise...Rembert Weakland was one of the most scandalous Catholic leaders in the United States when he was serving as Archbishop of Milwaukee. In 2002 when he retired, he was intent on covering up his homosexuality by essentially paying a $450,000 out-of-court bribe to his same-sex lover in order to prevent evidence in open court. But the cat was out of the bag so this new revelation is simply the final affirmation of what everyone knows already.

Like many narcissistic homosexuals, Weakland probably covets attention. And it will be so much more fun to be openly participating in the gay community: welcomed by Dignity, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and other dissenting Catholics who enjoy playing Church. Besides, in the U.S. sodomy is politically correct and ever-more-popular among the brainwashed "tolerant" so coming out will probably spur sales of his upcoming autobiography. He may even think of the book-signings as opportunities to make new friends.

One interesting coincedence I can't help noting is Weakland's announcement takes place at the same time a transvestite is positioned to win American Idol. Reality is so much more interesting than fiction -- who needs to read books anymore? Perhaps the bishop and the idol can sing together: "All things gay and bi-sexual all lustiness great and small, all things S&M and lesbian, the evil one loves them all."

Keep in mind several things about Weakland. In Milwaukee he promoted dissent and sexual deviancy and was the enemy of orthodoxy. He endorsed the most graphic sex education for children and demonized parents who protested. He destroyed the beautiful historic cathedral and when Rome intervened with a stop order, he blasted ahead to finish the carnage. Dissent, scandal, and wreckovation are the hallmarks of a disordered life. This is his evil legacy and, instead of repenting of it, he moves to a new level of scandal shouting it from the rooftops or at least from the bookstores.

Now think back to 2002 and the Dallas meeting when the bishops diverted attention from their own irresponsible, even criminal, enabling of homosexual abuse. Throwing up a smokescreen, they told us the problem was really not homosexuality but parent and family sex abusers. And so they mandated fingerprinting for all lay volunteers and a one-strike-and-you're-out policy for abusive priests while exempting themselves. They developed VIRTUS which "trains" those working with children to look for abuse among straights who are the real problem while telling them homosexual abuse is a "myth" despite the fact that homosexuals commit almost 40% of child abuse while representing only about 2% of the population.

It has all been very convenient for Archbishop Weakland and other homosexual bishops. How many more are hiding behind their pectoral crosses? According to the John Jay study two thirds of the bishops engaged in moving the abusers around, lying to parents, and covering-up. How many did that because they are themselves homosexuals who empathized with the victimizers rather than the victims?

Weakland should never have been a priest; he certainly should never have been a bishop. He was one of Cardinal Bernardin's boys so many of whom have spent their careers (one can hardly describe them as "vocations") destroying the faith. This latest scandal emphasizes once again how sorely needed are Canon Laws that ban homosexuals from the priesthood and from any positions of authority in the Church. Rembert Weakland was a victimizer who enabled the rape of children and the rape of the faith. It will be many years before the damage he did in Milwaukee can be undone. Pray for him; he has much for which to answer and this latest episode just adds to his burden of guilt. Get thee to a monastery, Archbishop Weakland.

Speedy Chancery "Justice"

Back in the '80s when Fr. Tom Doyle warned the bishops of the huge sex abuse scandal brewing, they simply would not listen. In fact, Doyle, who was on the fast track for advancement, saw his promising career train suddenly grind to a halt. Some big cases hit the streets: Gilbert Gauthe in Lafayette, LA and Rudy Kos in Dallas, TX, but the bishops' policy of secrecy and cover-up worked for another decade or so before the Boston Globe blew the lid off. The extent of the mostly homosexual abuse of youngters enabled and covered-up by ecclesial Judases covered Holy Mother Church in slime. And most of the guilty bishops continue along their merry ways with hardly a nickel's loss in their collection baskets.

Well, the bishops may be slow to act on child sex abuse and dissent, but they are lightening quick when it comes to going after the REAL SCANDALS. The Diocese of Rockville Center was Johnny-on-the-spot to discipline the pastor in the video below. After watching it, I'm sure you'll be relieved that Fr. Fidelis has been declawed and tamed by the ever-vigilant sheriff (oops...I mean bishop) William Murphy. What a demonstration of manly action to preserve the people of his diocese. Offer your chaplet for him today.

N.B. Thanks to blogger friend Robert Kumpel where I first found this video.

Dissent: It's Part of the Problem

Back in 2002 when the bishops met in Dallas, Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz suggested that the USCCB implement a study to determine whether there was a correlation between the sex abuse crisis and dissent. His suggestion got this much support: 0000000000000000000. (Well, you get the idea - how many other bishops were there? Add those zeroes.) Those of us who have been fighting scandals in our diocese for decades can offer plenty of anecdotal evidence that there's a direct link between homosexuality/sex abuse and dissent. I could give some specific examples here in my own diocese, but you get the idea. Oftentimes the dissenting pastor is a charmer who boosts attendance of cafeteria Catholics and generates more money for the collection basket. So he's never corrected and is much-loved by the finance office at the Chancery.

But I digress.

Fr. Z. at "What does the prayer really say?" carried a Good Friday post that tempts me to ask -- Is the pastor at that parish a homosexual or homosexualist? He's certainly disobedient. Read the story and weep (or laugh - sometimes you need to laugh or you'd cry all the time.) The fact is, when people say the crisis is over, point them to the on-going dissent and disobedience around the country and ask what's fueling it? At Most Holy Redeemer in the Castro section of San Francisco the answer is easy -- homosexuality. See here and here. There are plenty of others. We have our own gay-enabling parish here in Arlington, Our Lady Queen of Peace.

The good news is that the seminarian quoted by Fr. Z. is the future of the Church. The bad news may be - how many seminarians are more like the disobedient pastor than the young priest-in-training? Fr. Z.'s advice is "This will eventually be solved by the biological solution. Be patient. Learn well. Keep your mouth shut. Pray a lot." I certainly agree with the "Pray a lot" part and he might be right about the "biological solution", but as a mom and gramma I can't quite agree with the rest.

The Church and churchmen tend to take a "long run" view. Problem is - Parents don't raise their children in the "long run." They have only a few short years to get it right and scandal, particularly when it occurs at college, robs children of their faith. So as a mom I say, sure be patient, but don't keep your mouth shut. That's what helped cause the problem in the first place. Fight like the devil is on your tail and after your children because he his.

Pray for seminarians this week during the Divine Mercy Novena. We are in great need of real men who are prepared to fight and die for their bride, the Church and for their flocks.

Christ is risen as He said. Alleluia!
