A Bishop Has Finally Said It! We Need a Canon Law Banning Homosexuals from the Priesthood

First posted on the Les Femmes blog.

My husband and I with the priest who witnessed our marriage on the left (Fr. Hugh Monmonier) and Fr. James Haley on our 25th wedding anniversary 

I spent about 25 years in regular contact with Fr. James Haley who became a cancelled priest in the Diocese of Arlington when our former bishop, Paul Loverde, deep-sixed him over his efforts to address the homosexual problems in the diocese. While Arlington had a reputation for orthodoxy, there were a number of active homosexual priests practicing sodomy and using gay porn. Some of the cases went public because of Fr. Haley's perseverance to uncover the truth. Also, several good men left the priesthood voluntarily because of their experiences with the homosexuals.

Cross-Dressing, Meth-Selling Priest Arrested in Bridgeport

Oh...and they found "bizarre sex toys" in his residence. Here's a snippet from the article:

The Catholic priest busted for allegedly dealing crystal meth was suspended after church officials discovered he was a cross-dresser who was having sex in the rectory at Bridgeport's St. Augustine Cathedral. 

Monsignor Kevin Wallin was relieved of his duties in May, but the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bridgeport had continued to pay him a stipend until his Jan. 3 arrest -- a day he was planning to fly to London on vacation. 

Now dubbed "Msgr. Meth" by some, Wallin seemed to live a life that easily could have been ripped from the script of "Breaking Bad," the popular AMC series about a high school chemistry teacher turned crystal methamphetamine producer. At one point, Wallin was selling upwards of $9,000 of meth a week, according to his indictment.

Just one more homosexual priest outed by his sinful actions. If you believe the scandals are behind us, you're in La-La Land. I fully expect the next big scandal to be about the money being embezzled from the Church by the closeted homosexuals. I know a priest who lived with a homosexual pastor. The housekeeper brought him pictures of the pastor in drag from his room. That homosexual priest is still serving in my diocese. Another housekeeper has seen this priest kissing her pastor on the lips when they greet each other. Yup, there are plenty of sickos still with us and these two hide behind orthodoxy. They are the most dangerous. The dissenting homosexual priests advertise their poison, but those who wear the veneer of orthodoxy serve their poison in golden chalices.

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.

News on Fr. Haley and it's sad indeed!

Well, the word coming down from on high is that Fr. Haley has been excommunicated and defrocked. This has been personally confirmed to me by someone who should know, but don't expect to hear about it anywhere official. There's something about this case that makes authorities skittish. After all, we can't acknowledge the elephant in the sanctuary, the homosexual priest problem. Every new homosexual scandal is met by the three monkeys with ears, eyes, and mouth covered. ("Psst...ignore the elephant until he goes away.") So Fr. Haley will continue to be the invisible man.

Strange, isn't it?

The Vatican released a notification over the excommunication of heretic priest Tissa Balasuriya, but Fr. Haley who is guilty of no more than making his bishop upset for revealing too much about the homosexual subculture in Arlington, simply disappeared without a trace. I have the feeling that if he had experienced an open trial we would have heard testimony by at least one chancery official that was perjury from start to finish. In secular court one has the right to be faced with one's accusers, but in Fr. Haley's case, I understand the accusation used to secure his conviction was summarized by the chancery and the "accuser" never appeared. Isn't that hearsay evidence which would not be allowed in a real trial grounded in justice?

But the story gets worse. Fr. Haley was cut off financially by the diocese last summer and now has no income. His situation has deteriorated from living a nomad's existence in a motor home with a small income to living with no income at all except what he can pick up from odd jobs. He needs work.

Before he entered the priesthood, Fr. Haley was an engineer. He is technologically oriented and I understand he's interested in finding a technical type job. If anybody has leads to suggest or a job to offer, please post them in the comments section.  And please continue your prayers. Consider how the heretics go on and on. They write books, speak at diocesan functions, thumb their noses at the Church, with nary a cluck to upset their scandal. Fr. Gerard Sloyan, the architect of the disastrous feeling-based catechetics that destroyed the faith of a generation and a promoter of the "fundamental option" heresy, gives courses in Arlington regularly.

Fr. Haley, on the other hand, was crucified for "being a snoop" as one priest said to me. In view of the devastation the homosexual cabal is inflicting on the Church (Check out the war in in Minnesota  where the homosexual/pro-homosexual priests are currently fighting their bishop over an amendment on the ballot to protect traditional marriage.), we could use more "snoops" like Fr. Haley.

Pray for Bishop Loverde. He has a lot to answer for. Our God is a God of mercy, but justice is the flip side of the coin. He used his authority to draw and quarter a good priest. A day of accounting is on the calendar.

The Homosexual Cabal in Kansas City

We're often told that the homosexual problem in the Church doesn't exist. Don't believe it! In England and Wales a 2003 survey of priests where over half responded disclosed that 53% thought ordaining practicing homosexuals was fine and dandy. Fact is, the homosexual cabal is still active in many dioceses. Here's the latest in Kansas City-St. Joseph where a former employee, Larry Probst, is suing the diocese for a sexually hostile work environment. Probst was an archivist in the chancery and describes homosexual harassment by priests as well as sexually charged and lewd comments.

This problem will continue as long as homosexuals are admitted to the priesthood. Keeping it secret, as Cardinal-elect (at the time) William Levada suggested in 2006 is hardly the answer. In an address given during the installation of the new rector for the North American Pontifical College in Rome, Levada stated that a priest who reveals his homosexuality "places an obstacle to his ability to represent Christ the bridegroom to his bride, the people of God." He asked the question, "Does he not see how his declaration places him at odds with the spousal character of love as revealed by God and imaged in humanity?"

Levada's words are a head scratcher. Does he really believe the spousal nature of the bridegroom/priest to his bride/the Church is less compromised when the priest keeps his disordered nature secret? That's like claiming a disordered man who identifies as homosexual can keep his secret and marry a woman -- like infamous sex abuser Rudy Kos. His former wife warned Church authorities about his homosexuality before he was admitted to the seminary. They ignored her.

But Levada's speech makes one wonder. How many hidden homosexuals are serving the Church? How many are practicing? I've heard homosexuals argue that celibacy, which they define as not having relations with a woman, doesn't apply to them. And they appear to believe it if the claims in Probst's lawsuit are true.

Another Homosexual Priest Scandalizes the Church

Oh, but there's no problemo in the Church! And just ask your bishop. He'll tell you he isn't aware of a single homosexual in his diocese. Well, I think it's a pretty good guess that Rev. Thomas Bouterie fits the bill.

Mardi Gras Miscue Topples Topless Priest

When you visit the website note the photos of Fr. Bouterie, especially the one next to the two biker boys. Click on the photo at left which will enlarge the picture of Father next to the flamboyant drag queen and let you progress to the next photo of him with the biker boys.

"Where's that hand, Padre? You're not playing basketball ya know and he didn't just make a basket!"

At least the guy's been removed as pastor. What's Father's take on the matter?  "His resignation was not 'reflective of the current problems' in the Church, but more indicative of his 'personal growth as a priest.' Yup, marching half-dressed illustrates your "personal growth." Can anybody tell me if there's any significance to wearing the black band on the arm? Or is that symbolic of his black clerics?

Former Priest Allegedly Hires Hit Man to Kill the Teenage Boy He Abused

The new head of the USCCB, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, says things are just peachy keen in the U.S. Church. A teenage boy probably doesn't agree with him. The unnamed victim says Fr. John Fiala raped him at gunpoint and threatened him, his family, and his girlfriend if he refused sex. Was this one of those famous accusations from 20 years ago? No! The alleged abuse took place in 2007-08. And the latest? The now ex-padre, who was removed in the Fall of 2008, allegedly recently tried to hire a hit man to kill the youth. (Go here for a press release from the Diocese of Omaha where Fiala served from his ordination in 1984 until 1996 when he left to join the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT).)

Can this possibly be true? After all, the VIRTUS program tells us it's a myth that homosexuals are dangerous. They are, in fact, actually safer than heterosexuals. And, after the sex abuse policies adopted in Dallas in 2002, with all the fingerprinting of the laity, etc. how could such a thing happen? Aren't the children safe? Haven't we been assured by the bishops that things have changed?

Well, here are the facts about the attempted killing from the Associated Press:

In a murder-for-hire case worthy of a Dan Brown novel, a Roman Catholic priest has been arrested on charges that he solicited a hit man to kill a teenager who had accused him of sexual abuse.

Authorities said John Fiala first offered the job to a neighbor, who blew the whistle and helped police arrange a sting. They said Fiala got as far as negotiating a $5,000 price for the slaying before investigators moved in.

The 52-year-old clergyman was arrested Nov. 18 at his suburban Dallas home and jailed on $700,000 bond. In April, he was named in a lawsuit filed by the boy's family, who accused Fiala of molesting the youth, including twice forcing him to have sex at gunpoint.

The abuse allegedly took place in 2007 and 2008, when Fiala was a priest at the Sacred Heart of Mary Parish in the West Texas community of Rocksprings, a rural enclave known for sheep and goat herding.

Go here to see Fr. Fiala's history of ministry. Note that in 2002 the Omaha archdiocese received a sex abuse complaint from the mid 1980s (Gosh - within months of Fiala's ordination?) which they say they forwarded to the San Antonio Archdiocese, the Kansas City Archdiocese, and the SOLT order. San Antonio says they never got it. (Tut-tut, mail service is so bad!) Consider, this accusation came to light the same year as the famous Dallas meeting when the bishops were so, so aware of sexual abuse and taking such strong action against it. Fiala wasn't listed in the 2002 Directory, but reappears in 2003 assigned to SOLT headquarters in Robstown, TX. From 2006-2008 when he was removed, Fr. Fiala was listed as pastor of Sacred Heart of Mary parish in Rock Springs, TX where the alleged abuse took place.
 
How plausible is it that this troubled priest showed no indication of his homosexuality during his seminary years and during his early priesthood? How many other homosexual clergy are living double lives?
 
Sorry, but I don't believe the problem is behind us and I wonder how many bishops are still moving homosexual priests around quietly until something public happens. This is one more proof that Fr. Haley was right to blow the whistle. Homosexuals in the priesthood are a threat to children and to the faith of all. It's maddening to me that Fr. Haley was removed from ministry in 2000 and Fr. Fiala continued to serve from 2002 - 2008.
 
Yes, priests have a right to due process, but I find it hard to believe there were no other problems evidenced in this priest's behavior. You don't just go from nothing to raping a kid at gunpoint and hiring a hit man. How much did his bishops know during this priest's career? Which reminds me of a pastor in my own diocese who was waiting naked for his age-appropriate partner who came into the rectory the back way. It's in Fr. Haley's deposition. He was an eye witness to it and I have no reason to believe he made it up. But that pastor is still active in Arlington (in more ways than one perhaps?) while Fr. Haley is out in the cold. Go figure!

Gay priests leading double lives should get out!

Come out, then get out
California Catholic Daily


After exposé, Vicariate of Rome asks homosexual clergy leading 'double lives' to leave priesthood

Rome, Italy, Jul 23, 2010 (CNA) -- After an Italian media report exposed sexual activity by gay priests in Rome, the Vicariate of Rome responded quickly by calling on all priests who are leading such "double lives" to come out and leave the priesthood for the good of the Church community.
The Italian weekly magazine Panorama ran a feature story on the morning of July 23 titled, "The wild nights of gay priests." The article tracks three supposed priests, monitoring their behavior in gay nightclubs, where they solicited sexual encounters from male prostitutes hired by the magazine.

The author, Carmelo Abbate, claims to have everything on tape, including the sexual acts and the same priests celebrating Mass. Panorama has set up priests before using false requests for the Sacrament of Confession to "poll" what they teach on moral or political issues and then publish the results.

In response to the story, the Vicariate of Rome, the office which assists the pope in running the Diocese of Rome, released a message stating that "the purpose of the article is obvious: to create scandal, defame all priests... discredit the church and -- in another way -- put pressure on that part of the Church defined by them as 'intransigent, that strives not to face the reality' of homosexual priests."

The vicariate did not deny the information in the article, instead saying the Church community cannot help but feel "sorrow and dismay" at seeing the report, knowing its priests intimately "not by their 'double lives,' but with a 'single life,' happy and joyful, consistent with their vocation, given to God and the service of the people, committed to living and witnessing to the Gospel and model of morality for all."

Because the Panorama article painted the 1,300 priests of the Diocese of Rome using gross generalizations, the vicariate replied that the essence of the Church of Rome is not found in those with "'double lives,' who haven't understood what 'Catholic priesthood' (is) and should not have become priests."
"Know," the statement continued, "that no one forces them to remain priests, exploiting only the benefits."

"Coherence,” said the statement, “would require them to come into the open. We don't wish to hurt them, but we cannot accept that due to their behavior the integrity of the all the rest might be tarnished."

"Before such facts," the vicariate asserted, "we firmly adhere to what the Holy Father Benedict XVI has repeated several times in recent months: 'the sins of priests' call us all back to conversion of heart and life and to be vigilant so as not to 'pollute the faith and Christian life, damaging the integrity of the Church, weakening her capacity of prophecy and testimony, tarnishing the beauty of her face.'"

The Homosexuality of Cardinal McCarrick

As I read this I was struck by McCarrick's instructions to the young men to call him "Uncle Ted." Does this remind you of anything? It made me think of "Uncle Screwtape" writing to his nephew Wormwood. Cardinal McCarrick has shown himself to be an evil man, a liar. He hid the Vatican letter about Communion in the hand from his confreres and has done much to undermine the faith. Remember when he drew Senator Ted Kennedy out of the pew and walked arm in arm down the aisle after Mass. He is an architect of the culture of death. And yet, as Richard Sipe points out, he remains an honored member of the boys' club in the Church. God help us! Is it any wonder Congress voted to let gays serve openly in the military? 

Until men like McCarrick and Weakland are publicly rebuked by the pope and their brother bishops Church teaching on sexuality is, in practice, null and void. We have been betrayed at the highest levels of the Church. Come, Lord Jesus! For Sipe's full report go here.

From the documents of Richard Sipe

"The facts are clear, simple, and typical of the heritage of tolerance of abuse and cover-up inculcated by Theodore E. McCarrick, archbishop of Newark (1986-2000) and perpetuated by his successors. There is documentation that records McCarrick’s sexual activity and sleeping arrangements with seminarians and young priests even when he served as the first bishop of Metuchen after serving as an auxiliary bishop in New York.

"On file are the unsealed 'MEDIATION DOCUMENTATION FOR FR. G.' that involved McCarrick, the dioceses of Metuchen and Newark, NJ. (2006) A financial settlement was reached. The case was sent to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in Rome, but it has not yet responded. Documents include the history of McCarrick’s initial sexual gesture and approach to the victim then a seminarian, in the bishop’s Metuchen residence in 1986. Documentation includes hand written correspondence (letters and cards) from McCarrick postmarked between 1987 and 2005. Many of the letters are signed 'Uncle Ted.' The names of other priests who were either seen having sex with McCarrick or witnessed McCarrick having sex with another priest are also included in the file. One of the priests is still in active ministry another left the ministry and was assisted by the church and McCarrick to re-educate for another profession. The names of other sexually active priests are also in the reports. Records of McCarrick’s activities with these priests are also included in medical evaluations and records all reviewed by Bishop Hughes of Metuchen already in 1995.

"Excerpts from the legal Settlement Documents include firsthand accounts that are also in the Newark Archdiocese records of an incident on a trip with McCarrick, then Archbishop of Newark, New Jersey, with a seminarian and two young priests when they shared a room with two double beds, it reads:

· McCarrick, wearing just underwear, got into bed with one of the priests: “Bishop McCarrick was sitting on the crotch of Fr. RC As I was watching TV with Fr BL [full names appear in the documents], bishop McCarrick was smiling and laughing and moving his hands all over Fr. RC’s body. Bishop McCarrick was touching Fr. C’s body, rubbing his hands from head to toe and having a good time, occasionally placing his hands underneath Fr. C’s underwear. [I was] feeling very uncomfortable while trying to focus on television, and Fr. B.L., started smiling. As I looked at the bed next to me, Bishop McCarrick was excitedly caressing the full body of Fr. R.C. At that moment, I made eye contact [with] Bishop McCarrick. He smiled at me saying, 'Don’t worry, you’re next.' At that moment, I felt the hand of Fr. B.L. rubbing my back and shoulders. I felt sick to my stomach and went under the covers and pretended to sleep.”

"McCarrick continued to pursue the young man, sent him notes and telephoned him. Notes reveal that it was the custom the Archbishop McCarrick to call his protégés “nephew” and encouraged his entourage to call each other “cousin” and for them to call him 'uncle Ted.'

"On another occasion McCarrick summoned the young man to drive him from the Newark Cathedral to New York City. He took him to dinner; and after, rather than returning to Newark as anticipated McCarrick went to a one-room apartment that housed one bed and a recliner chair. McCarrick said that he would take the chair, but after showering he turned off the lights and clad in his underwear he climbed into bed with his guest. Here is the account from the documents:

· “He put his arms around me and wrapped his legs around mine. Then He started to tell me what a nice young man I was and what a good priest I would make someday. He also told me about the hard work and stress he was facing in his new role as Archbishop of Newark. He told me how everyone knows him and how powerful he was. The Archbishop kept saying, “Pray for your poor uncle.” All of a sudden, I felt paralyzed. I didn’t have my own car and there was nowhere to go. The Archbishop started to kiss me and move his hands and legs around me. I remained frozen, curled up like a ball. I felt his penis inside his underwear leaning against my buttocks as he was rubbing my legs up and down. His hands were moving up and down my chest and back, while tightening his legs around mine. I tried to scream but could not…I was paralyzed with fear. As he continued touching me, I felt more afraid. He even tried several times to force his hands under my shorts. He tried to roll me over so that he could get on top of me, but I resisted, I felt sick and disgusted and finally was able to jump out of bed. I went into the bathroom where I vomited several times and started to cry. After twenty minutes in the bathroom, the Archbishop told me to come back to bed. Instead I went to the recliner and pretended to fall asleep.”

"In a letter dated four days after this incident McCarrick wrote a note signed 'Uncle Ted' that said in part: 'I just wanted to say thanks for coming on Friday evening. I really enjoyed our visit. You’re a great kid and I know the Lord will continue to bless you…Your uncle has great spots to take you to!!!'

"There are additional documents that substantiate this particular relationship. One can safely say that now-retired Cardinal McCarrick was same-sex active and can be presumed to have a homosexual orientation. Neither fact has interfered with his career as a cleric in the Roman Catholic Church."

Two Thumbs up for Bishop J. Peter Sartain of Joliet

Bishop Sartain has removed a homosexual priest from his pastorate for engaging in homosexual acts on more than one occasion. Although the acts were not crimes since the priest's partners were legal adults, Bishop Sartain's executive assistant said,  “It was consenting behavior, but a priest takes a vow of celibacy.... He was unfaithful to his vows on more than one occasion.”

God bless you , Bishop Sartain. You are protecting your people and acting in charity for the good of the soul of Fr. Simonelli. You cannot serve both God and Mammon or God and Lust.

"The Catholic Church Is The Closet Of Gays", Colombian Priest Writes In His Book


Out of frustration at episcopal inaction, a priest of the Colombian archdiocese of Cali, has written a book on the ongoing homosexual scandals among priests of the archdiocese.

Father Germán Robledo, former head of the archdiocesan ecclesiastical tribunal, wrote that the third largest diocese of Colombia is rife with active and uncorrected homosexuals and heterosexual priests who prey upon young people, have fathered children and used parish funds to pay off the extortion demands of their boy-lovers and the fees for procurers.

The priest has kept his writings in absolute secrecy until they were published, calling it a "bomb" for the clergy of Cali.

Fr. Robledo, a priest for 45 years who served on the tribunal for 23 years, said that since he first presented his allegations and evidence of sexual and financial misconduct by priests in the archdiocese, the problems have increased "due to the lack of control and vigilance". He indicated that the Archbishop has done nothing to stop the misconduct of his priests.

The book, titled, ¿Hacia un celo gay? (Towards a Gay Clergy) is intended, Fr. Robledo said, to "denounce a tendency which is presenting itself within the Catholic Church".

"In the past 30 years," he said, "the Church has leaned towards priests with profiles with effeminate traces, sweet, obedient, submissive, uncritical, and who always accept the authoritarian role of the bishop and of the other superiors." He asserts that 30 per cent of the archdiocese's priests are homosexuals.

He denied that the Catholic discipline of priestly celibacy is the problem, saying that the priest's life gives opportunities to predatory homosexual pedophiles to "lead a double life".

"It is the refuge of those who do not dare face their families. The Catholic Church is the closet of gays."

According to statistics of 2006, the archdiocese of Santiago de Cali, Colombia's third largest city, serves 2.2 million Catholics out of a total population of 2.6 million.

Archbishop Weakland's Sick Legacy

Catholics who followed the career of Archbishop Weakland and his destruction of the Milwaukee Archdiocese were not surprised when he wrote his tell-all book proclaiming his homosexuality. The man's behavior (or misbehavior) as a bishop was a neon light blinking about his perversion. Cases of lives damaged by this despicable cleric continue to be revealed. Below are excerpts from an article on one of the priests he enabled, fellow homosexual James Tully. Weakland sent Tully off to Africa on two separate assignments where he freely engaged in raping and sodomizing young boys:

Tully's story is an example of how the church transferred abusive priests from country to country, in a scandal now emerging worldwide. But it also shows the deep reluctance to come out against a Catholic priest in many parts of Africa.

Catholic Archbishop Buti Tlhagale of Johannesburg cautioned this month that the scandals in the church were not particular to the United States and Europe.

"It simply means that the misbehavior of priests in Africa has not been exposed to the same glare of the media as in other parts of the world," Tlhagale said....

The shade and occasional breeze are the only relief from the unrelenting 100-degree (38-degree Celsius) heat matched by 100 percent humidity that has men lifting their shirts to fan bellies and black skin glistening with sweat. The only sound is the chirping of long-billed birds attracted to a nearby rice paddy.

It was in these villages that Tully demanded oral sex, called "lollipopping" in the Krio dialect, the teacher said.

"He would want us to play with his penis, to arouse him; not even to just play with it but to put it in your mouth," said the teacher, who asked to remain anonymous because he works at a Catholic school and fears he could be fired.

Asked if the sex had gone any further, tears welled in the teacher's eyes and he turned away: "I don't want to remember that. After all these years, I still can't talk about it. It makes me hot all over."

Tully would not comment about these accusations when approached by The Associated Press in New Jersey, where he now lives. The Catholic Church says it never received any complaints about Tully's behavior in Sierra Leone.

"No family member or friends or associates of any victim that was sexually abused has come forward to inform or report to me that he has been sexually abused by Father Tully," said Bishop Giorgio Biguzzi of Makeni, who was bishop through all the years Tully was based in his northern diocese.

Such responses do not surprise the Sierra Leonean schoolteacher.

"Who would believe a young village boy over a white priest?" he asked. (Read complete article here... )

Is this still going on? I am aware of a homosexual priest in my diocese who frequently visits a third world country. I've even seen pictures of him surrounded by young boys. Is the bishop vigilant to protect foreign children, the children of the poor? I'd say not since, when Fr. Haley warned him about the perverted priests in the diocese, he did nothing about it, but instead came down with a club on Fr. Haley.

How much help are so-called "safe touch" programs to children in other countries when predators are sent there? And how many victims in the third world will be silent because "Who would believe a young village boy over a white priest?" What exactly is the bishop doing to protect the potential victims outside the country?

Archbishop Weakland wasn't the only bishop sending his problems abroad. Apparently moving abusive priests out of the country was a common practice as this article suggests:

Bill Nash and other members of Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests held a news conference on Thursday in response to an Associated Press story that detailed 30 cases worldwide in which priests accused of abuse were transferred or moved abroad, including one case from the Worcester area.

Is the sex abuse problem behind us or, like a latent virus, has it simply simply gone underground. Since many of the bishops who enabled it are still serving and continue to justify the ordination of homosexuals one can't help wondering. Clearly Archbishop Weakland was not the only homosexual bishop in the closet. How many are still enabling dissent and closeted perversion as long as it's "age appropriate?"

"Gay Superculture" Running the Diocese of Miami!

The story behind the story: Miami Archbishop John Favalora resigned early eight months before reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75. More is coming out now about the real reason for his early exit. According to faithful Catholics in the archdiocese who presented documentation to the Vatican a "gay superculturel" of priests was actually running things:

In 2004, a group of concerned lay Catholics of the Miami Archdiocese constituted themselves a lay "watchdog" organization, under the name Christifidelis. They were moved to do so by what they have alleged is a gay superculture running the archdiocese.

Attorney Sharon Bourassa, a member of Christifidelis, was counsel for The Rev. Andrew Dowgiert in a lawsuit filed against the Archdiocese in May of 2005. Fr. Dowgiert, on loan from a Polish archdiocese and soon to be incardinated in Miami, alleged that he was "fired" from active ministry in the Miami Archdiocese after whistle-blowing on homosexual activity by several pastors of the Archdiocese (particularly that of Fr. Anibal Morales of All Saints Parish [in Sunrise]).

In 2005 and 2006, RenewAmerica.com columnist Matt Abbott published several articles tracing developments in what became known as the "Miami Vice" scandal. Bourassa claimed that several "straight" priests were feeding her information on a culture of sodomy and theological heterodoxy on the part of priests of the Miami Archdiocese. Among the allegations: the vast majority of the Archdiocese's priests are sexually active gays; Archbishop Favalora and Catholic Charities of Miami owned several thousand shares in stock for a liquid aphrodisiac popularly sold in gay clubs and strip joints; many priests were misappropriating parish funds to live exorbitant lifestyles, and Archbishop Favalora and vicar-general Msgr. William J. Hennessey are in some way implicated in this superculture....

This writer [i.e., Eric Giunta] can personally testify to the truth of at least one of the above allegations, namely, that the vast majority of the Archdiocese's pastors are homosexuals. Yours truly applied to the seminary formation program of the Miami Archdiocese in the Spring of 2005. I was immediately blacklisted as an ultraconservative "traditionalist" for my regular assistance at the Latin Mass Community at Miami's St Robert Bellarmine parish.

During my course of interviews with priests from the Archdiocese's vocations admissions board, one priest volunteered to me (with absolutely no prompting on my part) the fact that "if the new Holy Father [i.e., Pope Benedict XVI] were to get rid of every gay priest, this Archdiocese could run maybe . . . ten parishes." The Archdiocese, at the time, operated at least 121 parishes and/or missions. ( Read more.... )

Does this sound familiar? Fr. Michael Madden (Bridgeport), Fr. James Foster (Altoona-Johnstown), and, of course, Fr. James Haley (Arlington) all got stabbed in the back for daring to uncover the immoral gay lifestyles of priests in their respective dioceses. In some cases the homosexual priests were helping themselves to parish money to finance their lifestyles.

How much of this is still going on in dioceses around the country? Can anyone really believe that Miami was the only one. Look at the level of dissent still occurring and the scandal over the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. There is no doubt a strong relationship between dissent to the teachings of the Church and the personal morality of the shepherds. Bishop Bruskewitz thought so, but when he suggested a study of the connection between the sex abuse scandals and dissent he got ZERO support. Well, it certainly is no secret why Archbishop Favalora voted no. How many others followed his lead for the same reason?

Please pray for poor Holy Mother Church and all the good priests lost to the faithful in the pews because of the mean-spirited vindictiveness of bishops.

Is there a gay prostitution ring at the Vatican?

Sex scandal rocks Vatican: Papal usher, chorister linked to gay prostitution ring

Good-Bye Good Men! showed that homosexuality in the clergy was endemic. Seminaries were full of it and orthodox heterosexuals were systematically denied access to the seminary, some of which had nicknames like "the pink palace." Has the problem been cleaned up? We'd all like to think so, but the recent scandal at the Vatican isn't encouraging. One of the most worrisome details was this quote from Reuters.

"Wiretap transcripts published by La Repubblica showed that among the men Ehiem allegedly procured for Balducci were seminarians. In one, Balducci is quoted as asking Ehiem: 'At what time does he have to return to the seminary?'"

Okay, we all know that there are many bishops in the Church who think allowing homosexuals into the seminary is perfectly fine. They even describe these disordered men as "heroic" while they enter a career that puts them in a continuous occasion of sin. There's nothing heroic about that. If they seriously desire to be holy, it's foolhardy. It seems to me more likely that most homosexuals enter the seminary because it appeals -- a lifestyle surrounded by men to whom you are attracted, going on vacations together, spending your day off with them -- while everyone around you offers respect and gratitude for your holy "sacrifice." What kind of a sacrifice is the priesthood for a homosexual? None. And that's why they must be banned from the seminary period!

So has anyone a followed-up at the Vatican to find out who the seminarian was that Balducci was speaking about? Are the seminaries of Rome filled with homosexuals? If so, it doesn't bode well for the future.

Do They Think We're Stupid?

Question: When is a homosexual abuser not a homosexual abuser even when he's abusing boys?

Answer: When he's a homosexual priest being studied by the John Jay College for the Catholic Bishops to the tune of 2 million dollars.

Yup, you got it. After previous findings that 80% of the priest sex abusers targeted teenage boys (i.e., homosexual abuse), the John Jay group is now saying that homosexual abuse was not the problem. (Huh?) Well, we suspect that the real cause was, "The devil made them do it!"

This is a convenient finding for the bishops who now, no doubt, can continue telling parents their children are safer with homosexuals than heterosexuals and that allowing homosexuals in the seminaries is a blessing for the people they will serve,

There are are two-word descriptions for this. Political correctness is one, but B*** S*** is more appropriate.

The homosexual bishops who still seem to be running the Church got their money's worth from this study. And it is one more reason for the good bishops to pull out of the bishops' conference.

Your Holiness, I Have the Evidence: Card. McCarrick Is a Homosexual, Please Act

Life and Death in a “Gay” Parish

What a difference five years make! Five years ago they knew priestly homosexuality was linked to the abuse. But now....well, let's just say that the department of newspeak got hold of the old results and dropped them down the memory hole.

The John Jay Study Yields New Evidence on Catholic Clergy Abuse especially teenage boys.

Seminary Reform Needed in Wake of Sex Abuse Study

Mahony Ordered Cover-Up of Priest's Criminal Abuse!

Sex abuse cover-up by L.A. Archdiocese is alleged

According to a former vicar of clergy deposed on Friday in a civil case against the bishop, Mahony knew about Fr. Michael Baker's problem of diddling young boys for over twenty years and kept it under wraps! TWENTY YEARS! He enabled it and allowed Fr. Baker to be moved from praish to parish to molest over and over again. Now let's see. Fr. Baker was allowed to continue in ministry abusing children, but Fr. James Haley was pitched out for telling Bishop Loverde about his homosexual priest problem.

Can someone please explain the justice of this to me? I've been trying to figure it out ever since Fr. Haley was removed from ministry. And it still makes no sense. A priest is thrown out for telling the bishop about homosexuals in ministry who are a clear and present danger to young men. A year later when Fr. Haley is deposed in a civil case against the dioces (under oath) and the court releases the deposition, the bishop begins the process to throw him out permanently. "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?" Sure looks like killing the messenger.

Meanwhile, Mahony the enabler, who spent $1.3 million settling with one of the abused youngsters, is still out there in La La Land running the diocese into the ground. He belongs in jail for criminal conspiracy. At some point in those 20 years, Mahone was a mandatory reporter. Of course these days, the dioceses have shifted the role of mandatory reporters to unwitting volunteers who have no idea they can be held criminally liable if a child is molested in the parish on their watch. Do they know it? Probably not. But that's okay, the bishops are resting easier.

Don't hold your breath waiting for enabling bishops to pay for their crimes. Some criminals are more equal than others.

What did Bishop Lori Know and When Did He Know It?

Lawsuit, deposition allege diocese played hardball with whistleblower priest, accountant

A few years ago Fr. Michael Madden and the parish bookkeeper hired a private eye to investigate the behavior of the pastor who was using parish money to fund his lavish homosexual lifestyle with his boyfriend who had the run of the rectory and the parish office. In the course of the scandal it was clear that the associate had tried to get the chancery to do something for FOUR YEARS! Here's what I ran in the Les Femmes newsletter at the time:

***More New England madness: Fr. Michael Jude Fay pastored one of Darien Connecticut’s wealthy parishes, St. John’s. During his tenure he stole church funds to finance a lifestyle that included: a New York Apartment, a condo in Florida, fancy clothes, expensive jewelry, fine furniture, dining at expensive restaurants, tickets to Broadway shows, etc. He also lavished gifts on friends and family especially his gay partner, Cliff Fantini (aka Cliff Martell), a wedding consultant. In 2005 they took a cruise together, requesting that a queen bed replace the twins in their cabin. Fr. Fay was so bold he frequently entertained Fantini at the parish rectory. [Did he require a background check?] The scandalous situation at St. John’s only came to light when Church bookkeeper, Beth D'Erario, and associate pastor, Fr. Michael Madden, hired an investigator and took the results to the cops. Bishop William Lori made Madden parish administrator until the young priest made some imprudent statements in a homily about his four years of “living hell” and the foot-dragging of the diocese. Subsequently he was removed and forced to apologize. What will happen to him in the future remains to be seen, but the scenario is typical: Homosexual priest engages in sodomite relationship and steals from parish to fund lifestyle. Associate pastor blows the whistle. Diocese only takes action after scandal becomes public. Retribution against the whistleblower follows. [We’ll be watching to see what happens to Fr. Madden whom we consider a hero in the matter.]

This is one of those cases where one has to make a judgment call about who's telling the truth. Frankly, my money is on Fr. Madden and the bookkeeper. I didn't trust Bishop Lori when he was in D.C. and the tactics the diocese is using are the same ones used by bishops during the sex abuse scandals. Attack the accusers and stonewall. In 2002 Bishop Lori assigned homosexual priest Fr. Jude Fay as the lone priest on the diocesan 11-member Sexual Misconduct Review Board. Of course, the claim is no one in the chancery had ANY inkling that the big spending homosexual embezzler was doing something wrong. Perish the thought!

Hogwash! The evidence from the sex abuse scandals makes it clear that the bishops knew exactly what they were doing when they covered up for the abusers. Bishop Lori appears to be playing the same game now.

My prophecy is that the diocese will continue to claim innocence and do everything they can to stonewall the depositions. In they end they will settle out of court with the settlement sealed. Hey, it's like the government bailout -- it's only the pewsitters' money.

Homosexuals Simply Cannot Be Ordained!!!!

How many times does it need to be said. Homosexuals cannot be ordained! The latest evidence is a Catholic priest in California. Here's an excerpt from The Californian of Monterey County:

The Rev. Antonio Cortes of St. Mary of the Nativity Catholic Church, was arrested on April 16 after the 16-year-old filed a report with Salinas police. Cortes is accused of molesting the boy and giving him alcohol since he was 14. He remains in Monterey County Jail on charges including providing alcohol to a minor, sodomy and possession of child pornography.

A later article in The Monterey County Weekly reports:

The latest discovery of numerous underage porn videos on Cortes’ laptop led the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office to file two felony counts of possession of child pornography on top of the original felony and 12 misdemeanor charges.

According to Deputy District Attorney Rolando Mazariegos, Cortes began giving “spiritual massages” to a young male at Greenfield’s Holy Trinity Catholic Church about two years ago. Cortes allegedly asked the then 14-year-old boy to lie down while he rubbed his body, and would offer the teenager brandy.

Their relationship continued when Cortes took over as head pastor of East Salinas’ St. Mary’s of the Nativity Church, one of the biggest parishes in the county. Mazariegos says the massages turned sexual on April 14, when Cortes allegedly sodomized the boy.

After the boy went to police, Mazariegos says, Cortes admitted to committing crimes during a phone call with the boy, set up by law enforcement. “The priest didn’t deny any of the allegations brought forth by the victim,” Mazariegos says. “The priest’s response to the allegations was, ‘Whatever happened, happened.’”

Investigators also allegedly found pictures of topless juveniles on Cortes’ cell phone and child pornography on his computer. Cortes pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Cortes’ attorney, Miguel Hernandez, says his client is innocent and is being tried in the media.

Cortes is the first pastor of the Diocese of Monterey to be arrested for sexual misconduct with a minor, spokesman Warren Hoy says. “It really is an aberration,” Hoy says. “It is not something that is condoned or accepted.”

Although Father hasn't been to trial yet, the evidence against him looks pretty damning. After all, the child porn was on HIS computer and HIS cell phone.

I have some questions. Where were these encounters with the young man taking place? In the rectory? Did no one have any inkling that it was going on? Did Father live with other priests? If he did were they all like Schulz in the old Hogan's Heroes series, "I know nuthink?"

Homosexuals are a danger to children. They are a particular danger in the priesthood where they live in a constant occasion of sin and have unusual access to youngsters, especially boys. When will someone in the hierarchy address this issue publicly and make it unequivocally clear that homosexuals may not be ordained?

One suggestion -- just as businesses do spot checks of their employees' computers, the bishops should do the same with the priests' computers. And the bishop's computer should not be exempt either. Let's face it. The silence on this issue from the hierarchy indicates the problem goes to the top.

Milwaukee still stuck with Archbishop Weakland

Former Milwaukee archbishop decides to stay in Milwaukee
River Falls Journal - 05/27/2009

Rembert Weakland is not going anywhere.
The former Milwaukee Archbishop, and one of the central figures in the Catholic priest sex abuse scandal, has decided not to move to St. Mary’s Abbey in New Jersey.
He said an abbot at the monastery was concerned that his presence there might be a “negative element.” That’s after recent revelations from Weakland’s upcoming book. Among other things, the book explains his homosexuality, and a contention that bishops used to consider sexual abuse by priests as a moral evil instead of a crime.

The abbey where Weakland was planning to go is also the home of a highly-regarded boys’ prep school run by the Benedictine monks of St. Mary’s. A former headmaster, Abbot Giles Hayes, said Weakland changed his plans without saying why and he did not believe the controversy over the book had anything to do with it. But Weakland said Benedictine leaders were scheduled to discuss concerns about his move the day after he offered to withdraw.

Weakland, 82, now says he’ll stay in Milwaukee. He was the archbishop for southeast Wisconsin from 1977-2002. And he’s still a key figure in lawsuits accusing the church of committing fraud, by transferring abusive priests to other parishes while keeping their histories secret.
_______________________________________

I'm curious. Suppose Weakland had kept a low profile and not written his tell-all book. Would he be welcome at the Abbey as long as he kept the secret? Frankly, I want to know who the homosexuals in the priesthood are. Knowledge is power to protect the children. As long as homosexual priests can masquerade they have access to children in their parishes. That's what happened in the child abuse scandals. Homosexuals should not be priests, but if they are, the laity have the right to know so those of us with sense can keep our children and grandchildren away from them. No matter how much the world wants to portray homosexuals as no threat to children the fact remains that their small community commits a large percentage of child sexual abuse. It's not bigotry to want to keep our children away from them; it's simply common sense.

As for Weakland, did parents raise an outcry threatening the "highly-regarded boys prep school?" Would the abbey have welcomed a closeted homosexual? Let's hope not, but if the past is prologue to the future, homosexuals are still a protected breed in the Church as long as they keep their hands off minors and engage in secret age-appropriate relationships.

Happy Birthday, Fr. Haley and Faithful Priests of the Church

Dear Friends,

Today is the feast of the priesthood when Jesus first told his apostles, "Do this in memory of me." I wish all the faithful priests in our diocese a happy birthday. Thank you for washing our feet through your service.

Today I'm launching this blog dedicated to Fr. James Haley and the on-going scandal of his treatment by Bishop Loverde. I suspect many will be critical of this work. So be it.

We live in a Church today where unfaithful and heretical priests are allowed to engage in dissent and publicly disgraceful actions with impunity. I'll just give three examples.

Fr. Michael Pfleger - Archdiocese of Chicago - I hardly need to add anything about this outrageous and scandalous priest beyond his name. Has he been silenced? Suspended? Cast out into outer darkness? No, he continues to lead his parish on the wide path to hell.

Fr. Steve Meriwether - Archdiocese of San Francisco under Archbishop George Niederauer. Holy Redeemer parish is notorious for its gay bingo, drag beauty contests, etc. (The bingo was finally stopped after public outrage from the faithful.) Fr. M. blesses participants in the Castro Street Fair (a lewd gay pride event), continues to allow gay drag events in his parish, and promotes the entire activist gay agenda. If he is not homosexual himself, he is a homosexualist advancing gay rights. And yet he continues undisciplined from scandal to scandal. No silencing, no suspension.

Fr. Michael Lastiri - Diocese of Fresno under Bishop John Steinbock. Lastiri advertised on the internet for gay sex. A gay friend of his whom he allowed to live in the rectory molested the nephew of a fellow priest. What happened? Steinbock sent Lastiri for a quick cover trip to the notorious St. Luke's in Silver Spring and then put him in prison ministry for a time. He's now back in regular parish ministry as the administrator of Our Lady of the Sierra, appropriate perhaps since the people there are likely to be in the desert with such a pastor. (A fellow priest, Fr. Joe Baca, known for his orthodoxy, has been labeled by the bishop as unassignable.)

Why are these priests still in active service while Fr. Haley is out in the cold and, if rumors are accurate, excommunicated from the Church? It is an injustice that screams to heaven and deserves to be exposed. For that reason I'm putting this blog online on the Birthday of the priesthood.

And I ask every cleric the forbidden question? When will it get a straight answer?
