Inspired by St. Michael the Archangel whose flaming sword protects us and guide us on what to blog
Our loving God frequently finds ways to remind us that even those who exercise leadership in the Church do so as laborers and not as the Master Builder: the Church is not ours but Christ’s. While it is always true that we are merely stewards for a time in a vineyard that is not our own, the role of an Apostolic Administrator is particularly temporary. The law of the Church reminds us that an Administrator is not to introduce change, but rather to facilitate the smooth continuation of the ordinary and essential activities of the Church, while advancing those positive initiatives to which the Archdiocese is already committed. It is my hope that I might be able to be faithful to that vision so that whenever a new Archbishop is appointed, he will find in this local Church a vibrant community of missionary disciples that is growing in its knowledge of the love of Jesus and in its shared commitment to the Gospel.
Sincerely in Christ,

Twin Cities Archbishop resigns—or—Who is shrewd and who is brave?
UNITED STATES
The Worthy Adversary
Posted by Joelle Casteix on June 15, 2015
My email was flooded this morning with news that St. Paul and Minneapolis Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piché had resigned. If you haven’t been following the news, the archdiocese has been hammered during the past two years as legal disclosures showed that ng a bad week
Less than two weeks ago, prosecutors filed criminal charges against the archdiocese. Although Nienstedt and Piché were not charged, the complaint outlined how both men knew about abuse and did little to nothing to protect children.
This morning, the Vatican announced that they had accepted the men’s resignations.
The resignations a positive moves and show a huge step in the right direction when it comes to punishing church officials who covered up abuse. Following on the heals of the resignation of Kansas City-St. Joseph Bishop Robert Finn, these ousters are well-needed, if not very overdue.
But Francis is not a brave reformer.
Before you wag your fingers at me and say, “Gee, Joelle! Why are you always so critical? Francis is doing great things. He’s different,” we need to take note of some very important facts:
1) The Vatican was not the group that exposed the wrongdoing of these bishops.
The ONLY reason we know about Finn is because brave prosecutors did the right thing and charged him with child endangerment. No one in the Vatican was going to do a thing. In fact, none of Finn’s fellow bishops called on law enforcement indict Finn for covering up child pornography. Even after the conviction, Finn’s fellow bishops said nothing in support of the victims.
2) The only reason we know about the scope and scale of crimes in Minnesota is because of their three-year civil window for victims.
Recently Minnesota passed The Child Victims’ Act, a three-year “window” that allows victims of child sex crimes to use the civil court to expose their abusers and get justice, no matter when the abuse occurred.
As more and more victims came forward to file child sex abuse and cover-up lawsuits, their attorneys were able to get access to and expose THOUSANDS of secret internal church documents that outlined how men like Nienstedt and former vicar general Kevin McDonough knew about abuse and abusers and did NOTHING to protect children at risk.
Minnesota archbishop steps down after rocky term that included sex-abuse lawsuits, bankruptcy
MINNESOTA
Star Tribune
By AMY FORLITI Associated Press JUNE 15, 2015
MINNEAPOLIS — John Nienstedt's term as leader of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis was rocky almost from the start.
His conservative views became well-known when he launched an expensive and unapologetic fight against gay marriage. In the last two years, he was besieged by a clergy sex-abuse scandal that included numerous lawsuits from victims and led to bankruptcy. Earlier this month, the archdiocese was criminally charged for failing to protect children.
On Monday, Nienstedt stepped down, saying he wanted to give the archdiocese a fresh start after his leadership had "drawn attention away from" the church's good works and "those who perform them."
Nienstedt took over the St. Paul archdiocese in 2007, replacing moderate Archbishop Harry Flynn, and his conservative reputation preceded him. As bishop in the nearby New Ulm Diocese, Nienstedt had criticized his predecessor's call for dialogue on opening the priesthood to women. He also chided a priest in the small town of St. Peter for worshipping with Lutherans on several occasions after a tornado destroyed the town's Catholic church in 1998.
And he led a drive to pressure legislators for a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, a cause he would take up again in St. Paul.
Abuse-Enabling Bishops Who Resigned or Were Removed
UNITED STATES
BishopAccountability.org
[note: This was posted before the resignations today of Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Bishop Lee A. Piche of the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocese.]
Pope Francis's removal of Bishop Robert Finn is welcome even if long overdue. But what does it mean? Is it merely an attempt to squash scandal, or does it signal a new era of bishop accountability?
To facilitate understanding of this unusual papal action, BishopAccountability.org presents this list of complicit bishops who have resigned or been removed.
The Vatican's announcement about Finn said only that he was removed in accordance with canon 401, paragraph 2, which states: "A diocesan bishop who has become less able to fulfill his office because of ill health or some other grave cause is earnestly requested to present his resignation from office." This is the same notice the Vatican has issued in the firing of other complicit bishops who have caused scandal – such as Irish bishop Brendan Comiskey, removed by Pope John Paul II in 2002, and Irish bishop Seamus Hegarty, removed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2011.
What no pope has done to date is publicly confirm that he removed a culpable bishop because of his failure to make children’s safety his first priority. Pope Francis should issue such a statement about Finn. That would be unprecedented, and it would send a bracing message to bishops and religious superiors worldwide that a new era has begun.
It should be noted too that Pope Francis’s decision on Finn will add fuel to the fire in Chile; calls for the removal of Chilean bishop Juan de la Cruz Barros Madrid will intensify. We hope Francis will honor the pleas of the victims of disgraced priest Fernando Karadima, of his own Commission members, and of the priests and parishioners of the Osorno diocese, and rescind this disastrous appointment immediately. If Francis means business, he must be consistent.

The new tribunal set up by Pope Francis to judge and discipline bishops accused of covering up or failing to report pedophile priests –– is an insult to long-suffering countless victims, a farce, a sham and a mockery to The Hague, The United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the Ramsey County Office of the Attorney, and all civil courts of law and justice –– because it will not examine the known decades old past cases – and not try the already guilty cardinals and bishops who admitted guilt in public or who have been found guilty by civil courts of law in cities, counties and countries including the United Nations.
An open letter to Archbishop Nienstedt
MINNESOTA
Star Tribune
By Hank Shea JUNE 12, 2015
The recent criminal charges filed against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis compel me to write to you, via the newspaper. I have hoped and prayed for many months that you would step down as head of the archdiocese. But now I feel both morally and ethically obligated to communicate my views to you and our community before more pain and harm is suffered by the members of the archdiocese, our Catholic Church and you.
You and other persons now stand criminally accused of wrongdoing by the Ramsey County attorney. As you know, the complaint specifically alleges that you participated in criminal conduct. Although only the archdiocese has been actually charged as a criminal defendant, an organization such as the archdiocese, like any corporation, can only commit a criminal offense based on the conduct of persons in that organization, such as you and the others named in the complaint.
The archdiocese (and anyone named in the complaint) is, of course, presumed to be innocent of any criminal offense at this stage of the state’s prosecution. Absent a plea agreement between the county attorney and the archdiocese, the government will have to present evidence to prove its charges in a court of law in one or more hearings and, ultimately, a trial. Based on my 20 years of experience as a former federal prosecutor here in Minnesota, I can tell you that any such hearings and trial will be a disaster for the archdiocese, its members, the church and you. This is true regardless of the outcome of the case.
For some time now, you have ignored calls for you to step down as head of the archdiocese. Whatever the reasons for your remaining in office, this no longer matters. The criminal complaint and its allegations virtually assure that either you will be leaving your position on your own initiative or you will be removed from it. It is time for you to accept that the status quo cannot continue. The archdiocese more than ever needs new leadership to put its legal troubles behind it and, more important, to allow genuine healing to begin, including for the victims of clergy abuse.
There are many reasons for you to step down immediately. Here are just a few of them:
First, it will help stop the bleeding. The entire archdiocese has been suffering spiritual death caused by a thousand cuts due to a failure of leadership. Although the wrongdoing did not begin with you, it continued under your watch and you remained willfully blind to it.

REGARDING THE RESIGNATION OF ARCHBISHOP JOHN NIENSTEDT OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS AND THE APPOINTMENT OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY CO-ADJUTOR ARCHBISHOP BERNARD HEBDA AS TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATOR
Monday, June 15, 2015
It appears that the re-arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic continues in the Catholic Church with no indication that the Titanic is essentially being righted so the ship can sail in calm waters. Of course, the resignation of Archbishop John Nienstedt is welcome news. Archbishop Nienstedt did nothing but add to the pain and distress of sexual abuse victims and their advocates. With his background as an alleged sexual abuser in such places as a Detroit seminary and his less than ethical character as a member of the Church’s hierarchy, Archbishop Nienstedt never should have been appointed to the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis. His tenure was nothing but disgraceful. But that could be said for hundreds of other bishops, and the ship continues to sink while the chairs are being re-arranged.
The Vatican has chosen to take one of the Titanic “chairs” from the Newark Archdiocese to be the temporary administrator of the St. Paul-Minneapolis Archdiocese. Co-adjutor Archbishop Bernard Hebda, who was scheduled to succeed the disgraced Newark Archbishop John Myers when he submits his retirement letter in 2016, is now headed to Minnesota to occupy that Archdiocese’s seat, at least temporarily. In much the same way that Bishop Joseph Galante (Camden, New Jersey) asked out of the Diocese of Dallas, TX when he was co-adjutor bishop because he couldn’t get along with former Dallas Bishop Charles Grahmann, it is clear that Archbishop Bernard Hebda had had it with Archbishop John Myers and his lack of leadership in the Archdiocese of Newark. It was a perfect pretext to re-arrange the chairs in two sinking ships. We don’t foresee Archbishop Hebda ever becoming the Archbishop of Newark and believe he will stay in the Midwest.
What does all this mean? It means that Pope Francis is trying, but it might be too late. The Church continues to sink under the weight of its own corruption and mismanagement, and nothing but a full-scale abandonment of structures and policies and that created this mess will change things. The hierarchy of the Church has to go, with a more democratic and people-centered organization taking its place.

MI--Archbishop from Detroit resigns-what's next?
MINNESOTA/MICHIGAN
Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Monday, June 15
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 566 9790, davidgclohessy@gmail.com )
A Minnesota Catholic archbishop whose archdiocese faces criminal charges for endangering kids has resigned. But this should be just the beginning of a long process of exposing and punishing clerics who put kids in harm’s way.
Twin Cities Archbishop John Nienstedt spent almost 50 years in Detroit. He also faces allegations of sexual misconduct with ten seminarians. At least some of the reported misdeeds happened in Detroit, where Nienstedt for six years was President of Sacred Heart Major Seminary. In 1996, he was named an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit.
Detroit’s current archbishop must help Minnesota prosecutors and Michigan Catholics, by aggressively reaching out to anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered sexual misdeeds by his colleague.
[Star Tribune]
For the safety of parishioners and the public, Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron must act. We beg him to use his vast resources – parish websites, church bulletins and pulpit announcements – to seek out anyone else who may have been hurt by Nienstedt. This is the very least Vigneron should do.
When allegations of sex crimes or misdeeds against clergy arise, Catholic officials almost always do the absolute bare minimum. Rarely, if ever, do they act responsibly and decisively, by helping the investigations. And by their silence and inaction, Catholic officials make such investigations harder and less successful.
Catholic officials can’t have their cake and eat it too, by insisting on internal investigations into sexual misconduct but doing little or nothing to help with these investigations.
For centuries, sexual misconduct has been carefully and effectively hidden by a rigid, secretive, all-male monarchy in the Catholic church. Despite promises of reform, such misconduct remains largely hidden. Vigneron can become part of the solution, by taking decisive action now. Or he can keep being part of the problem, by passively sitting back and refusing to extend a helping hand to Minnesota investigators and to perhaps even more suffering Detroit Catholics, some of whom might be his own priests.
(One of Nienstedt’s accusers, a former priest named Joel Cycenas, has spoken publicly in the Star Tribune.
NJ--Newark bishop defends his colleague
NEW JERSEY/MINNESOTA
Survivors Networkof Those Abused by Priests
Statement by Mark Crawford, New Jersey SNAP leader, 732-632-7687, mecrawf@comcast.net
The new head of the Twin Cities archdiocese defended a controversial colleague who spent extravagantly on an opulent home for himself.
In an op ed last year, Bishop Bernard Hebda defended the residence that Archbishop John Myers is building for himself.
[NorthJersey.com]
We feel sorry for Newark Catholics and now Twin Cities Catholics who had assumed or now assume that Bishop Hebda would be different from and better than Myers or Neinstedt. In Newark, Hebda has no doubt dashed their hopes. In St. Paul, we suspect that he will.
And we're sad too that Hebda displays a greater loyalty to his selfish colleague than to parishioners.
Pope Francis urges us to show mercy to the poor. Hebda, however, urges us to show mercy to an imperial and imperious monarch, a man who has shown, time and time again over a long clerical career, that he values his power and reputation more than victims and parishioners.
It's striking that Hebda can't even bring himself to use the phrase “Myers' personal home.” Instead, he euphemistically calls it a “construction project.”
When Pope Francis sent Hebda to New Jersey, he again missed a clear opportunity to discipline, demote, denounce or even defrock a blatantly reckless, callous and deceitful prelate and send a powerful signal that cover ups will no longer be tolerated. Now, sending Hebda to Minnesota, Francis again refuses to be honest about the troubling crisis there and about his motives.
It will be tempting for many to read more into this appointment than they should. Because Vatican officials usually refuse to disclose the rationale for their actions – or are notoriously vague when they do so – no one can really be certain whether this move is in any way connected to Neinstedt’s repeatedly irresponsible actions with predator priests.
But many Catholics will assume this. We caution them against leaping to conclusions. No one person caused the horrific scandal in Newark. No one person can fix it. The real solution isn’t juggling secretive church officials. The real solution requires every single current and former Catholic Church employee and member to call law enforcement with any knowledge or suspicions of clergy sex crimes and cover ups, no matter how old, small, vague or seemingly insignificant that knowledge or those suspicions might be. That’s what protects kids – the courage of many adults, not the shuffling of two officials.
Finally, Bishop Hebda is a lawyer, a fact that worries us. Most bishops approach clergy sex abuse and cover up cases like lawyers, instead of shepherds.
And he’s worked in two states with particularly archaic, predator-friendly child sex abuse laws, which means it’s hard to really assess how he’s handled clergy sex crimes and cover ups.
Neither of those dioceses has posted names of predator priests on their websites, as roughly 30 US bishops have. And Hebda has done nothing in Gaylord or Newark that indicates to us that he’ll be any different or better than the overwhelming majority of his clerical colleagues who continue to conceal clergy sex crimes.
Resignation of Archbishop Nienstedt...

Resignation of Archbishop Nienstedt: A step in the right direction and a time for reckoning
(St. Paul, MN) - The resignations of Archbishop Nienstedt and Bishop Piché and acceptance of them by the Vatican signals an important step in the necessary reckoning in the child abuse crisis. It is equally important to note that the resignation of one or two men from high positions does not in any way signal the end to the crisis or deal with the scope of the problem. It does signal that finally there is a small measure of reckoning under pressure. That pressure has been brought because of the courage of the survivors and the Minnesota Legislature. It is the opening of the courthouse doors by the legislature and courageous survivors bringing scores of lawsuits that led to the body of evidence—documents, secret files, depositions (see www.andersonadvocates.com) that created the pressure and exposure.
The resignations come as no surprise. The volume of documents and disclosures that have been disgorged through litigation, testimony given by the top officials and the body of evidence that has been developed by the civil suits and the investigation done by Ramsey County Attorney’s office foreshadowed the resignations, but still falls short of full accountability. It falls short of full accountability because this whole problem is not about one man or two bishops. It is about the system that’s entrenched in the old ways and adhering to secrecy and self-governance operating above the law.
The journey is far from over, the struggle remains to cause and create full accountability and reckoning for those who are complicit in the crimes and the reckless handling of so many priests. But there is power in symbolism and this is a symbolic gesture of a time for reckoning. To the survivors who have broken the silence and on whose shoulders we stand every day in this journey, we express gratitude. Reckoning and transparency is truth—truth grows hope.

Latest on church abuse: Attorney: Resignation no surprise

9:15 a.m. (CDT)
A Minnesota attorney who has filed countless lawsuits against the Catholic Church over alleged clergy abuse says he's not surprised by the resignation of the archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Archbishop John Nienstedt announced his resignation Monday, along with that of Bishop Lee Piche (PEE-'shay). Their departure comes less than two weeks after the archdiocese was charged with failing to protect children.
Attorney Jeff Anderson says it's clear to him that the two were forced out. He says their resignations are part of an "important reckoning" for the failure of top officials to respond appropriately when priests were accused of abusing children.
Fall from grace: Why Nienstedt had so little support among Twin Cities Catholics
MINNESOTA
MinnPost
By Tim Gihring
The letters began arriving shortly before John Nienstedt was appointed archbishop in 2008: clean up or be shut down. It was the least that his predecessor, Archbishop Harry Flynn, could do: play the good cop; warn the rebellious parishes in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis before the bad cop arrived.
Nienstedt seemed to relish the bad-cop role. He wore a fedora, like a G-man. Through his Rumsfeldian, half-frame glasses, he saw sin everywhere, and he revamped the Catholic Spirit, a once-freethinking archdiocesan newspaper, as a pulpit to rail against it.
And he did indeed drive some of the most accommodating members among his flock of 750,000 into hiding, banning lay people from addressing the faithful during Mass, calling out priests who welcomed openly gay worshippers as abetting “a grave evil,” and quickly shutting down services like the one at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church, in Minneapolis, where women often led the liturgy — without so much as a hello.
“You’re a controversial figure,” a woman told him back in 2008, at a St. Paul gathering of the National Council of Catholic Women. “I am?” he joked. “I tend to be straightforward — perhaps that puts people off.”
Vatican must link removal of Minnesota bishops to pedophilia scandal
UNITED STATES
The Dallas Morning News
Rudolph Bush
Only a week has passed since Pope Francis declared a new tribunal to review cases of bishops who shielded pedophile priests and shuffled them around parishes to protect them from discovery.
And just two weeks have passed since prosecutors in St. Paul, Minn. accused the Catholic Archdiocese there of “willfully ignoring signs of a pedophile priest,” according to a story in the New York Times.
In a signal that the Vatican is at last catching up to the concerns of the faithful, both Archbishop John Nienstedt and Lee Piche, an auxiliary bishop, resigned in St. Paul yesterday.
Nienstedt suggested the decision was his own. The facts, and his longtime reticence to resign, suggest otherwise.
“In order to give the Archdiocese a new beginning amidst the many challenges we face, I have submitted my resignation as Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and I have just received word that he has accepted it,” Nienstedt wrote.
He added that he leaves the church with a clear conscience.
It will be up to prosecutors to show whether that clear conscience is warranted.

UNITED STATES
Questions from a Ewe
Our dear bishops in the U.S. concluded their semi-annual meeting two days ago and I'm sure we're all elated that they had the courage to tackle some really challenging topics during that meeting.
Their first vote addressed that vexing problem plaguing so many American Catholics...what to do about the canticles used in the Liturgy of the Hours. Well, friends, sleep peacefully tonight. They voted to use a new English translation of those canticles - "in a style similar to the Revised Grail Psalms, with emphasis on sprung rhythms and faithful translation." Whew! Glad they got that sorted out! It's easy to see why they voted on this first, and quite frankly, a bit surprising that they didn't handle this pressing issue at an earlier date by calling a special meeting or something.
Their second vote pertained to priest formation / seminary training. If you love the "bells and smells," non-pastoral, uber-orthodoxy with a heaping helping of spiritual and emotional immaturity emerging from seminaries of late, you are in luck because they decided to continue existing priest formation norms without any changes whatsoever for the next five years. As Mass participation plummets and young folks flee the church, at a vote of 179 "yes", 1 "no" and 1 abstention, they overwhelmingly decided to pat themselves on the back and continue current course and speed. Can we conclude that further reduced Mass participation is their desired outcome since they voted to continue a formation program that seems to contribute significantly to laypeople's disgust with and departure from the Church?

Paris Arrow
On June 23, 2014, Pope Francis met with Kenneth Copeland and 8 other US evangelicals at the Vatican. It was a perfect timing to coincide with the Copeland's annual convention in Forth Worth Texas from June 30 to July 5 where Kenneth spoke about the Pope during an entire session. which he never did in his entire 40 years ministry. Below is a compilation of disagreement and anger from his followers which is very enlightening. So is this why Pope Francis cancelled his daily mass for the summer and his weekly Wednesday Angelus because he wanted to use those time for meeting with other religions and other sects and evangelicals like Kenneth Copeland – instead of meeting his usual Francis-Maniacs Catholic zombie and stupid nuns in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday Angelus?

A picture speaks a thousand words. Here are images of the 2 evil Achilles Heels of John Paul II and George W. Bush, two contemporaries in the 21st century who covered-up – through religion – their own worst crimes against children and youth of America and the whole world.
The 2 Evil Achilles Heels of Satanas Saint John Paul II are Cardinal Bernard Law and priest Marcial Maciel, the serial pedophile, pederast, adulterous priest and poster boy of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. Read the related links below for further explanations.
George W. Bush’s evil Achilles Heels are the Iraq War and the CIA Torture (newly revealed documents) which he condoned and ordered - in secret. John Paul II and George W. Bush were the epitome of covert operations that destroyed the lives of incalculable thousands of children (mostly boys) and young people (mostly young men). While John Paul II now sits in the highest altars of sainthood in all Catholic churches, and George W. Bush now sits painting portraits of past US presidents – meanwhile, thousands of young soldiers sit maimed and lamed from Bush’s Iraq War, and thousands of children are fatherless from lost young fathers who were soldiers in Bush’s (delusion) “War on Terror”, and countless children suffer a ‘living hell’ from the bestial JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.

– Bishop Lee A. Piché, Auxiliary Bishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis
– Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda, Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis
Vatican Empire PR campaign: Make Nienstedt and Piché disappear like chameleons
A chameleon changes color and blends in with its environment to deceive its captor’s eyes, and by making itself seemingly invisible, it avoids getting caught and gobbled up. Becoming chameleons are what Archbishop Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piché are doing by resigning days after the Ramsey County Office of the Attorney laid criminal charges against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis for which (as everyone already know) they are part of the guilty leaders responsible for the crimes. Change the face and change the bishops like chameleons – so that the popular opinion will also change with them – and brainwash (via the media) the population to make them clamor and demand the County Attorney John Choi to drop the case and bring it to a zilch. If only to save the Roman Catholic – reputation – again. Nienstedt and Piché resigned so that like chameleons, they will seem – out of sight and out of mind – in Minnesota and their absence or nonappearance will make people say, “Who are you talking about? We had a Healing Mass and all are forgiven and forgotten and we have a new bishop now.” Idiots Americans Catholics have very little memory (hence very little compassion) and very little intelligence especially when it comes to their holy criminals princes of the church whom they have been – brainwashed to believe, pray, pay and obey at all costs – even at the expense of ruined lives of countless thousands of little boys abused by bestial pedophile priests those church princes bishops aided and abetted and covered-up.
In Ramsey County, this Vatican PR chameleon strategy is to deceive the people and the court so that when the Archdiocese will go into trial – the guilty Archbishop Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piché will no longer be the heads – or focus – in the archdiocese. What the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team in its Vatican Empire PR chameleon campaign is doing here is to have replaced Nienstedt with a new bishop – who’ll do what Pope Francis has done to the Vatican by changing focus out of Benedict XVI-RATzinger and John Paul II by camouflaging them like chameleons with all the Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils and Vatican scandals and making everything into one happy Vatican Circus.
Idiots Catholics are very callous towards others who are “outside the church” especially after they’ve been shown with some pompous ceremony in the church and fed with the typical Roman Catholics magic mythology of the Eucharist. Just feed everyone with the little white waffle host of the Body of Christ God the Son – and everyone will forget – the bestial heinous biggest systemic pedophile ring on the planet – the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army (also in Minnesota). And forget all the bishops who covered- them up. Most of all, pray to the newest saint John Paul II who covered-up the biggest pedophile ring on the planet named after him because he said and did nothing for 27 years in his globetrotting narcissistic papacy.
Prosecutor sure to win the case against archdiocese
Attorney John Choi said at his press conference that the country prosecutor’s office only laid these charges now - because he was sure to win the case - or he wouldn’t have laid them at all. And also the cases are all within the statute of limitation. Choi’s press conference was moving especially when the chief of police spoke and said that it took many hours of investigation. Has anyone seen something like it - the police or district attorney lay criminal charges against a bishop or cardinal or an entire archdiocese for that matter during the 10 years saga of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in the USA? A lot of lawyers press conferences, or SNAP’s, or victims, but not the prosecutor and the police laying “criminal charges” to an entire archdiocese – together at the same time. But almost 3 billion dollars were paid out to victims, and with the Vatican Billions, money always talked for the Roman Catholic Church, the largest religious bestial heinous pedophile ring on the planet. And so Cardinal Bernard Law, Cardinal Mahony of Los Angeles, et al, they all blend in like chameleons and they continued on, unscathed. Although we’ve read all kinds of heinous crimes committed by bestial pedophile priests in BishopsAccountability.org and Abuse Tracker covered-up by cardinals and bishops for over a decade now, we’ve never seen or heard anything like Attorney Choi’s speech so it seems something must be different this time – finally it will prove how the Roman Catholic Church is actually a criminal organization, the worst of its kind, even if partially in the Archdiocese of the Twin Cities. You’ve seen one and you’ve seen them all… Read our related articles:

From Archbishop John C. Nienstedt, Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis
In order to give the Archdiocese a new beginning amidst the many challenges we face, I have submitted my resignation as Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and I have just received word that he has accepted it. The Catholic Church is not our Church, but Christ’s Church, and we are merely stewards for a time. My leadership has unfortunately drawn attention away from the good works of His Church and those who perform them. Thus, my decision to step down.
REBUTTAL: “In order to give the Archdiocese a new beginning” –– this is a typical Vatican PR campaign – it actually means to make the Archdiocese like a chameleon and cover-up all past crimes and make it appear like new again especially via the spectacle of the magical hoax of the Eucharist and Healing Mass. As we have said over and over again, if all criminals will simply sue the Eucharist and Confession – our jails would be all empty today. Only the Roman Catholic Church gets away with murder all the time. Read more in --Ex-nuncio’s Vatican trial won’t be criminal but a charade. Jail in the Vatican is a joke; it’s sitting on lap of luxury of Vatican Billions http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2014/09/ex-nuncios-vatican-trial-wont-be.html
REBUTTAL: Thus, my decision to step down – This is a lie. It is the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team at the Vatican telling you to get out of there before you sink the Vatican Titanic further in the criminal charges against the archdiocese. You are to disappear from view immediately as – damage control – PR strategy. Read more in our article,

REBUTTAL: “The Catholic Church is not our Church, but Christ’s Church”. The Catholic Church is –– not Christ’s Church –– but the church of the Vatican Mammon Evil Beast Idiots Roman Catholics – especially idiots Americans – give moral and financial supports and are in roundabout way cooperators in – crimes against humanity – committed by the Vatican and Pope Francis! It’s false that “the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it” –– but the truth is the gates of Heaven cannot prevail against Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils – already two millennium of criminal achievements – and still going strong. The gates of Heaven is helpless especially against the Vatican Mammon Evil Beast Empire in Switzerland and its Swiss Banks run exclusively by so called very evident ‘Pope’s Army aka God’s Army’ – the Swiss Guard Army alumni.

It’s the same principle; Roman Catholics at all levels and all walks of life support the Vatican Mammon Evil Beast.
REBUTTAL: “Thus, my decision to step down.” This is a lie. You are forced to step down as part of the Vatican Empire PR campaign to make you disappear like a chameleon. Many have asked you to resign in the past but you refused to resign. See news compilation below.
It has been my privilege the last seven years to serve this local Church. I have come to appreciate deeply the vitality of the 187 parishes that make up the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis. I am grateful for the support I have received from priests, deacons, religious men and women and lay leaders, especially those who have collaborated with me in the oversight of this local Church.
I leave with a clear conscience knowing that my team and I have put in place solid protocols to ensure the protection of minors and vulnerable adults.
REBUTTAL: “I leave with a clear conscience “ is typical of all guilty cardinals and bishops who covered up the largest religious pedophile ring on the planet earth – the JP2 Army John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army – even the most guilty post of 27 years cover-up is canonized a saint. That clear conscience is actually all numbed up by the Eucharist and Christ is no longer sitting pretty in the tabernacle because hundreds of churches are being closed in New York and throughout the USA – and those churches cannot be rebuilt or revived and their demise is worse than the Temple of Solomon. At least the Jews continue to go and worship on one of the walls, but these churches are shut down and sold and gone forever. . This is the modus operandi of the Eucharist in that it numbs the conscience of popes, cardinals and bishops and it makes their hearts cold-hearted to victims of heinous bestial pedophile priests, read our related article, MYTHS of Archdiocesan MASS of ATONEMENT& Healing – it’s SORCERY and DARK MAGIC by Cardinal George, Arch.

From Bishop Lee A. Piché, Auxiliary Bishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis
The people of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis need healing and hope. I was getting in the way of that, and so I had to resign.
REBUTTAL: The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis does not need healing and hope but the truth and nothing but the truth – that it supports and morally feed the Vatican Mammon Evil Beast – and its daily Eucharist only serves as a bait to trap idiots Americans Catholics to support Pope Francis and his Swiss Guard Army alumni that hoards American imperialists wealth in Switzerland, read more here -- Pope Francis the Pharisee & Vatican Bank/IOR the white-washed sepulchre in Mathew 23. Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team new books on Francis-myths http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2015/03/pope-francis-pharisee-vatican-bankior.html.
I submitted my resignation willingly, after consultation with others in and outside the Archdiocese.
REBUTTAL: No, liar. You resigned because it is the command of the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team at the Vatican with their PR campaign to damage control—against the criminal charges of the prosecutor’s office. You had no choice because it is part of the mastermind strategy of the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team at the Vatican who asked you to do. You are asked to disappear like a chameleon to prepare for the archdiocese defence – at the upcoming trial of the prosecutor versus the archdiocese. Your absence now will make the people – especially idiots Americans Catholics – to ask the prosecutor to drop the case.
It has been a privilege to serve this local Church and I will continue to hold everyone in the Archdiocese in my prayers.
REBUTTAL: “to hold everyone in the Archdiocese in my prayers” – this line is a statement of powerful brainwashing – that “prayer bullshit” which secular laymen criminals do not have the luxury of invoking so they go to rot in Hell -- while you bishops go to live in another bishops’ palace in another diocese kingdom – only to manage the Vatican Billions especially in the USA. So typical of all bishops and cardinals as if their prayer is so mighty when the fact is Jesus Christ Himself is having His one-man quiet revolution by shutting down and selling hundreds of Catholic churches in the USA – because He is so sick of the modern day Pharisees of popes and cardinals and bishops. Christ cursed the Temple of Solomon to the ground but at least there is one Wailing Wall left where Jews continue to go to pray. But these hundreds of churches being shut down and sold in the USA can no longer be prayed-in or prayed-at –– which means the Roman Catholic Church is worse than the Temple of Solomon ––– rightly so because it is the Vatican Mammon Evil Beast that oppress billions of poor people and hundreds of countries via the Vatican Concordats and the Vatican Swiss Banks in the “neutral country” of Switzerland run by exclusively the Swiss Guard Army alumni.

From Most Rev. Bernard A. Hebda, Apostolic Administrator of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am humbled by Pope Francis’ decision to appoint me to serve as Apostolic Administrator for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis. I am grateful for his confidence and I look forward to working with Auxiliary Bishop Andrew Cozzens and the leadership of the Archdiocese. I pray that I will be able to be of some service to you, the priests and faithful of the Archdiocese, as you prepare for the appointment of a new Archbishop.
Fondly recalling my years as a Bishop in Northern Michigan, where I first came to know the vibrancy of the faith shared by Catholics of the upper Midwest, I am hopeful that there will be opportunities to meet many of you in the weeks ahead. Mindful of Pope Francis’ challenge to bishops to be true shepherds who walk in the midst of the flock to the point of developing “ears open to listening to the voice of the sheep entrusted to their care”, it is my intention to be as available as possible, while still fulfilling my responsibilities as the Coadjutor Archbishop of Newark. As the Universal Church prepares to embark on a Year of Mercy, I look forward to getting to know this local Church and experiencing in a new context the marvelous ways in which the Lord works through His people to make His grace and healing presence known and felt, even in the most challenging of times.
REBUTTAL: “As the Universal Church prepares to embark on a Year of Mercy” --- this statement is another chameleon PR strategy --- and one of the biggest statement of hypocrisy. When Australia came out with its findings in the bestial pedophile priests, Pope Francis issued his encyclical about the Gospel of Mercy – as if to ask for mercy from the courts of law and the people. But really, it was to avoid lawsuits and paying more millions to victims. The Universal Church talks about Mercy but it is the worst condemner on the planet – as it condemns billions of non-believers and non-Catholics to the fires of Hell. The Middle Ages Papal Bull Unam Sanctam by Pope Boniface declared ex-cathedra that “there is one holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. And we firmly believe and profess that outside of her there is no salvation nor remission of sins” read more here -- Defying papal infallibility and charging criminally the “one, holy, catholic and apostolic church’.

REBUTTAL: which the Lord works through His people to make His grace and healing presence known
Our loving God frequently finds ways to remind us that even those who exercise leadership in the Church do so as laborers and not as the Master Builder: the Church is not ours but Christ’s. While it is always true that we are merely stewards for a time in a vineyard that is not our own, the role of an Apostolic Administrator is particularly temporary. The law of the Church reminds us that an Administrator is not to introduce change, but rather to facilitate the smooth continuation of the ordinary and essential activities of the Church, while advancing those positive initiatives to which the Archdiocese is already committed. It is my hope that I might be able to be faithful to that vision so that whenever a new Archbishop is appointed, he will find in this local Church a vibrant community of missionary disciples that is growing in its knowledge of the love of Jesus and in its shared commitment to the Gospel.
REBUTTAL: the Church do so as laborers and not as the Master Builder: the Church is not ours but Christ’s …stewards for a time in a vineyard that is not our own. This is a false theology and false state4ment because the Church of Christ is NOT the Roman Catholic Church which is the equivalent of the Vatican Mammon Evil Beast. Hundreds of churches being closed and shut down and sold to secular buyers as Christ’s own defiance from the evil hoax of the Eucharist where he is used as bait to trap 1.2 billion idiots Catholics, read more -- In Israel, Pope Francis clones Christ’s flesh & pleas for children’s protection after canonizing 2 popes who protected JP2 Army pedophile priests in 20th century http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/in-israel-pope-francis-clones-christs.html
REBUTTAL: which the Lord works through His people . This is false – Jesus never baptized anyone in the Sea of Galilee and He never asked anyone to be baptized by His Apostles, and there was plenty of water. This exclusive church is now gone in the 21st century because the Roman Catholic Church is the most evil organization because of the Vatican Mammon Evil Beast run by the Swiss Guard Army – the only men who have the privilege of living with the pope for 2 years or more before they go to manage the secret Vatican Swiss Banks.

For this to happen, I realize that I will need the prayers and support of you, the priests, deacons, religious, and laity of the Archdiocese. In this time of transition, please join me in asking for the intercession of Our Lady of Mercy. May she not only seek God’s blessings for those who have given themselves to the service of this local Church in the past, but also draw us ever closer to the Heart of her Son so that we might more perfectly radiate His healing love in the days to come.

Compilation of news
Twin Cities Archbishop resigns—or—Who is shrewd and who is brave?
UNITED STATESThe Worthy Adversary
Posted by Joelle Casteix on June 15, 2015
My email was flooded this morning with news that St. Paul and Minneapolis Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee A. Piché had resigned. If you haven’t been following the news, the archdiocese has been hammered during the past two years as legal disclosures showed that ng a bad week
Less than two weeks ago, prosecutors filed criminal charges against the archdiocese. Although Nienstedt and Piché were not charged, the complaint outlined how both men knew about abuse and did little to nothing to protect children.
This morning, the Vatican announced that they had accepted the men’s resignations.
The resignations a positive moves and show a huge step in the right direction when it comes to punishing church officials who covered up abuse. Following on the heals of the resignation of Kansas City-St. Joseph Bishop Robert Finn, these ousters are well-needed, if not very overdue.
But Francis is not a brave reformer.
Before you wag your fingers at me and say, “Gee, Joelle! Why are you always so critical? Francis is doing great things. He’s different,” we need to take note of some very important facts:
1) The Vatican was not the group that exposed the wrongdoing of these bishops.
The ONLY reason we know about Finn is because brave prosecutors did the right thing and charged him with child endangerment. No one in the Vatican was going to do a thing. In fact, none of Finn’s fellow bishops called on law enforcement indict Finn for covering up child pornography. Even after the conviction, Finn’s fellow bishops said nothing in support of the victims.
2) The only reason we know about the scope and scale of crimes in Minnesota is because of their three-year civil window for victims.
Recently Minnesota passed The Child Victims’ Act, a three-year “window” that allows victims of child sex crimes to use the civil court to expose their abusers and get justice, no matter when the abuse occurred.
As more and more victims came forward to file child sex abuse and cover-up lawsuits, their attorneys were able to get access to and expose THOUSANDS of secret internal church documents that outlined how men like Nienstedt and former vicar general Kevin McDonough knew about abuse and abusers and did NOTHING to protect children at risk.
Minnesota archbishop steps down after rocky term that included sex-abuse lawsuits, bankruptcy
MINNESOTAStar Tribune
By AMY FORLITI Associated Press JUNE 15, 2015
MINNEAPOLIS — John Nienstedt's term as leader of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis was rocky almost from the start.
His conservative views became well-known when he launched an expensive and unapologetic fight against gay marriage. In the last two years, he was besieged by a clergy sex-abuse scandal that included numerous lawsuits from victims and led to bankruptcy. Earlier this month, the archdiocese was criminally charged for failing to protect children.
On Monday, Nienstedt stepped down, saying he wanted to give the archdiocese a fresh start after his leadership had "drawn attention away from" the church's good works and "those who perform them."
Nienstedt took over the St. Paul archdiocese in 2007, replacing moderate Archbishop Harry Flynn, and his conservative reputation preceded him. As bishop in the nearby New Ulm Diocese, Nienstedt had criticized his predecessor's call for dialogue on opening the priesthood to women. He also chided a priest in the small town of St. Peter for worshipping with Lutherans on several occasions after a tornado destroyed the town's Catholic church in 1998.
And he led a drive to pressure legislators for a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, a cause he would take up again in St. Paul.
Abuse-Enabling Bishops Who Resigned or Were Removed
UNITED STATESBishopAccountability.org
[note: This was posted before the resignations today of Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Bishop Lee A. Piche of the St. Paul and Minneapolis archdiocese.]
Pope Francis's removal of Bishop Robert Finn is welcome even if long overdue. But what does it mean? Is it merely an attempt to squash scandal, or does it signal a new era of bishop accountability?
To facilitate understanding of this unusual papal action, BishopAccountability.org presents this list of complicit bishops who have resigned or been removed.
The Vatican's announcement about Finn said only that he was removed in accordance with canon 401, paragraph 2, which states: "A diocesan bishop who has become less able to fulfill his office because of ill health or some other grave cause is earnestly requested to present his resignation from office." This is the same notice the Vatican has issued in the firing of other complicit bishops who have caused scandal – such as Irish bishop Brendan Comiskey, removed by Pope John Paul II in 2002, and Irish bishop Seamus Hegarty, removed by Pope Benedict XVI in 2011.
What no pope has done to date is publicly confirm that he removed a culpable bishop because of his failure to make children’s safety his first priority. Pope Francis should issue such a statement about Finn. That would be unprecedented, and it would send a bracing message to bishops and religious superiors worldwide that a new era has begun.
It should be noted too that Pope Francis’s decision on Finn will add fuel to the fire in Chile; calls for the removal of Chilean bishop Juan de la Cruz Barros Madrid will intensify. We hope Francis will honor the pleas of the victims of disgraced priest Fernando Karadima, of his own Commission members, and of the priests and parishioners of the Osorno diocese, and rescind this disastrous appointment immediately. If Francis means business, he must be consistent.

The new tribunal set up by Pope Francis to judge and discipline bishops accused of covering up or failing to report pedophile priests –– is an insult to long-suffering countless victims, a farce, a sham and a mockery to The Hague, The United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the Ramsey County Office of the Attorney, and all civil courts of law and justice –– because it will not examine the known decades old past cases – and not try the already guilty cardinals and bishops who admitted guilt in public or who have been found guilty by civil courts of law in cities, counties and countries including the United Nations.
An open letter to Archbishop Nienstedt
MINNESOTAStar Tribune
By Hank Shea JUNE 12, 2015
The recent criminal charges filed against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis compel me to write to you, via the newspaper. I have hoped and prayed for many months that you would step down as head of the archdiocese. But now I feel both morally and ethically obligated to communicate my views to you and our community before more pain and harm is suffered by the members of the archdiocese, our Catholic Church and you.
You and other persons now stand criminally accused of wrongdoing by the Ramsey County attorney. As you know, the complaint specifically alleges that you participated in criminal conduct. Although only the archdiocese has been actually charged as a criminal defendant, an organization such as the archdiocese, like any corporation, can only commit a criminal offense based on the conduct of persons in that organization, such as you and the others named in the complaint.
The archdiocese (and anyone named in the complaint) is, of course, presumed to be innocent of any criminal offense at this stage of the state’s prosecution. Absent a plea agreement between the county attorney and the archdiocese, the government will have to present evidence to prove its charges in a court of law in one or more hearings and, ultimately, a trial. Based on my 20 years of experience as a former federal prosecutor here in Minnesota, I can tell you that any such hearings and trial will be a disaster for the archdiocese, its members, the church and you. This is true regardless of the outcome of the case.
For some time now, you have ignored calls for you to step down as head of the archdiocese. Whatever the reasons for your remaining in office, this no longer matters. The criminal complaint and its allegations virtually assure that either you will be leaving your position on your own initiative or you will be removed from it. It is time for you to accept that the status quo cannot continue. The archdiocese more than ever needs new leadership to put its legal troubles behind it and, more important, to allow genuine healing to begin, including for the victims of clergy abuse.
There are many reasons for you to step down immediately. Here are just a few of them:
First, it will help stop the bleeding. The entire archdiocese has been suffering spiritual death caused by a thousand cuts due to a failure of leadership. Although the wrongdoing did not begin with you, it continued under your watch and you remained willfully blind to it.

REGARDING THE RESIGNATION OF ARCHBISHOP JOHN NIENSTEDT OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS AND THE APPOINTMENT OF NEWARK, NEW JERSEY CO-ADJUTOR ARCHBISHOP BERNARD HEBDA AS TEMPORARY ADMINISTRATOR
Monday, June 15, 2015
It appears that the re-arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic continues in the Catholic Church with no indication that the Titanic is essentially being righted so the ship can sail in calm waters. Of course, the resignation of Archbishop John Nienstedt is welcome news. Archbishop Nienstedt did nothing but add to the pain and distress of sexual abuse victims and their advocates. With his background as an alleged sexual abuser in such places as a Detroit seminary and his less than ethical character as a member of the Church’s hierarchy, Archbishop Nienstedt never should have been appointed to the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis. His tenure was nothing but disgraceful. But that could be said for hundreds of other bishops, and the ship continues to sink while the chairs are being re-arranged.
The Vatican has chosen to take one of the Titanic “chairs” from the Newark Archdiocese to be the temporary administrator of the St. Paul-Minneapolis Archdiocese. Co-adjutor Archbishop Bernard Hebda, who was scheduled to succeed the disgraced Newark Archbishop John Myers when he submits his retirement letter in 2016, is now headed to Minnesota to occupy that Archdiocese’s seat, at least temporarily. In much the same way that Bishop Joseph Galante (Camden, New Jersey) asked out of the Diocese of Dallas, TX when he was co-adjutor bishop because he couldn’t get along with former Dallas Bishop Charles Grahmann, it is clear that Archbishop Bernard Hebda had had it with Archbishop John Myers and his lack of leadership in the Archdiocese of Newark. It was a perfect pretext to re-arrange the chairs in two sinking ships. We don’t foresee Archbishop Hebda ever becoming the Archbishop of Newark and believe he will stay in the Midwest.
What does all this mean? It means that Pope Francis is trying, but it might be too late. The Church continues to sink under the weight of its own corruption and mismanagement, and nothing but a full-scale abandonment of structures and policies and that created this mess will change things. The hierarchy of the Church has to go, with a more democratic and people-centered organization taking its place.

MI--Archbishop from Detroit resigns-what's next?
MINNESOTA/MICHIGANSurvivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
For immediate release: Monday, June 15
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 566 9790, davidgclohessy@gmail.com )
A Minnesota Catholic archbishop whose archdiocese faces criminal charges for endangering kids has resigned. But this should be just the beginning of a long process of exposing and punishing clerics who put kids in harm’s way.
Twin Cities Archbishop John Nienstedt spent almost 50 years in Detroit. He also faces allegations of sexual misconduct with ten seminarians. At least some of the reported misdeeds happened in Detroit, where Nienstedt for six years was President of Sacred Heart Major Seminary. In 1996, he was named an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Detroit.
Detroit’s current archbishop must help Minnesota prosecutors and Michigan Catholics, by aggressively reaching out to anyone who may have seen, suspected or suffered sexual misdeeds by his colleague.
[Star Tribune]
For the safety of parishioners and the public, Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron must act. We beg him to use his vast resources – parish websites, church bulletins and pulpit announcements – to seek out anyone else who may have been hurt by Nienstedt. This is the very least Vigneron should do.
When allegations of sex crimes or misdeeds against clergy arise, Catholic officials almost always do the absolute bare minimum. Rarely, if ever, do they act responsibly and decisively, by helping the investigations. And by their silence and inaction, Catholic officials make such investigations harder and less successful.
Catholic officials can’t have their cake and eat it too, by insisting on internal investigations into sexual misconduct but doing little or nothing to help with these investigations.
For centuries, sexual misconduct has been carefully and effectively hidden by a rigid, secretive, all-male monarchy in the Catholic church. Despite promises of reform, such misconduct remains largely hidden. Vigneron can become part of the solution, by taking decisive action now. Or he can keep being part of the problem, by passively sitting back and refusing to extend a helping hand to Minnesota investigators and to perhaps even more suffering Detroit Catholics, some of whom might be his own priests.
(One of Nienstedt’s accusers, a former priest named Joel Cycenas, has spoken publicly in the Star Tribune.
NJ--Newark bishop defends his colleague
NEW JERSEY/MINNESOTASurvivors Networkof Those Abused by Priests
Statement by Mark Crawford, New Jersey SNAP leader, 732-632-7687, mecrawf@comcast.net
The new head of the Twin Cities archdiocese defended a controversial colleague who spent extravagantly on an opulent home for himself.
In an op ed last year, Bishop Bernard Hebda defended the residence that Archbishop John Myers is building for himself.
[NorthJersey.com]
We feel sorry for Newark Catholics and now Twin Cities Catholics who had assumed or now assume that Bishop Hebda would be different from and better than Myers or Neinstedt. In Newark, Hebda has no doubt dashed their hopes. In St. Paul, we suspect that he will.
And we're sad too that Hebda displays a greater loyalty to his selfish colleague than to parishioners.
Pope Francis urges us to show mercy to the poor. Hebda, however, urges us to show mercy to an imperial and imperious monarch, a man who has shown, time and time again over a long clerical career, that he values his power and reputation more than victims and parishioners.
It's striking that Hebda can't even bring himself to use the phrase “Myers' personal home.” Instead, he euphemistically calls it a “construction project.”
When Pope Francis sent Hebda to New Jersey, he again missed a clear opportunity to discipline, demote, denounce or even defrock a blatantly reckless, callous and deceitful prelate and send a powerful signal that cover ups will no longer be tolerated. Now, sending Hebda to Minnesota, Francis again refuses to be honest about the troubling crisis there and about his motives.
It will be tempting for many to read more into this appointment than they should. Because Vatican officials usually refuse to disclose the rationale for their actions – or are notoriously vague when they do so – no one can really be certain whether this move is in any way connected to Neinstedt’s repeatedly irresponsible actions with predator priests.
But many Catholics will assume this. We caution them against leaping to conclusions. No one person caused the horrific scandal in Newark. No one person can fix it. The real solution isn’t juggling secretive church officials. The real solution requires every single current and former Catholic Church employee and member to call law enforcement with any knowledge or suspicions of clergy sex crimes and cover ups, no matter how old, small, vague or seemingly insignificant that knowledge or those suspicions might be. That’s what protects kids – the courage of many adults, not the shuffling of two officials.
Finally, Bishop Hebda is a lawyer, a fact that worries us. Most bishops approach clergy sex abuse and cover up cases like lawyers, instead of shepherds.
And he’s worked in two states with particularly archaic, predator-friendly child sex abuse laws, which means it’s hard to really assess how he’s handled clergy sex crimes and cover ups.
Neither of those dioceses has posted names of predator priests on their websites, as roughly 30 US bishops have. And Hebda has done nothing in Gaylord or Newark that indicates to us that he’ll be any different or better than the overwhelming majority of his clerical colleagues who continue to conceal clergy sex crimes.
Resignation of Archbishop Nienstedt...

Resignation of Archbishop Nienstedt: A step in the right direction and a time for reckoning
(St. Paul, MN) - The resignations of Archbishop Nienstedt and Bishop Piché and acceptance of them by the Vatican signals an important step in the necessary reckoning in the child abuse crisis. It is equally important to note that the resignation of one or two men from high positions does not in any way signal the end to the crisis or deal with the scope of the problem. It does signal that finally there is a small measure of reckoning under pressure. That pressure has been brought because of the courage of the survivors and the Minnesota Legislature. It is the opening of the courthouse doors by the legislature and courageous survivors bringing scores of lawsuits that led to the body of evidence—documents, secret files, depositions (see www.andersonadvocates.com) that created the pressure and exposure.
The resignations come as no surprise. The volume of documents and disclosures that have been disgorged through litigation, testimony given by the top officials and the body of evidence that has been developed by the civil suits and the investigation done by Ramsey County Attorney’s office foreshadowed the resignations, but still falls short of full accountability. It falls short of full accountability because this whole problem is not about one man or two bishops. It is about the system that’s entrenched in the old ways and adhering to secrecy and self-governance operating above the law.
The journey is far from over, the struggle remains to cause and create full accountability and reckoning for those who are complicit in the crimes and the reckless handling of so many priests. But there is power in symbolism and this is a symbolic gesture of a time for reckoning. To the survivors who have broken the silence and on whose shoulders we stand every day in this journey, we express gratitude. Reckoning and transparency is truth—truth grows hope.

Latest on church abuse: Attorney: Resignation no surprise
MINNESOTASt. Louis Post-Dispatch

9:15 a.m. (CDT)
A Minnesota attorney who has filed countless lawsuits against the Catholic Church over alleged clergy abuse says he's not surprised by the resignation of the archbishop of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
Archbishop John Nienstedt announced his resignation Monday, along with that of Bishop Lee Piche (PEE-'shay). Their departure comes less than two weeks after the archdiocese was charged with failing to protect children.
Attorney Jeff Anderson says it's clear to him that the two were forced out. He says their resignations are part of an "important reckoning" for the failure of top officials to respond appropriately when priests were accused of abusing children.

Pope Francis accepted the resignations of two U.S. Catholic bishops today in the wake of a child sex abuse scandal in St. Paul, Minnesota. Archbishop John C. Nienstedt and Auxillary Bishop Lee A. Piché have quit their posts after Minnesota prosecutors charged the archdiocese with the “mishandling of repeated complaints of sexual misconduct against a priest,” per The New York Times.
The charges concern the 2012 jailing of Minnesota priest Curtis Wehmeyer, who is currently serving time for sexually abusing minors and possession of child pornography. Three male victims accused Wehmeyer of preying on them during camping trips between 2008 and 2010, plying them with alcohol and drugs before sexually abusing them.
According to the AFP, Minnesota prosecutors now say they have “substantial evidence that senior Church officials failed to act on repeated warnings from parents and others that the priest was a danger to children.” While Nienstedt and Piché have not been charged, they are named in the complaint as leaders who failed to take the warnings about Wehmeyer seriously.

Archbishop John Nienstedt stepped down as head of the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis Monday morning, saying, “My leadership has unfortunately drawn attention away from the good works [of the church].”
In a statement released early Monday, Nienstedt said he had submitted his resignation to Pope Francis in Rome, “and I have just received word that he has accepted it.”
Named to head the archdiocese in 2007, Nienstedt has presided over a tumultuous period for the church, most notably the still-unfolding clergy sex abuse scandal.
On June 5, the Ramsey County attorney’s office filed criminal charges against the archdiocese for “failing to protect children” from an abusive priest, marking the first time that a U.S. archdiocese has been criminally charged for such offenses. The now-former priest, Curtis Wehmeyer, is serving a prison term for abusing two boys in 2010 while he was pastor of Blessed Sacrament Church in St. Paul.
From Vatican City, the Associated Press reported Monday that Pope Francis accepted the resignations of Nienstedt and Auxiliary Bishop Lee Anthony Piché. “They resigned under the code of canon law that allows bishops to resign before they retire because of illness or some other ‘grave’ reason that makes them unfit for office.”

Recent events that led to Archbishop John Nienstedt’s resignation Monday:
• June 5: Ramsey County attorney’s office files criminal charges against the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis for “failing to protect children.” The charges stem from the archdiocese’s oversight failures regarding former priest Curtis Wehmeyer, who is now serving a prison term. It’s the first time a U.S. archdiocese has been criminally charged for such offenses.
• June 10: Pope Francis takes biggest step yet to crack down on bishops who cover up for priests who rape and molest children. He created a new tribunal section inside the Vatican to hear cases of bishops accused of failing to protect their flock.
• June 13: In an open letter to Nienstedt published in the Star Tribune, Hank Shea calls for the archbishop to resign, saying the archdiocese more than ever needs new leadership to put its legal troubles behind it and, more important, to allow genuine healing to begin, including for the victims of clergy abuse.” Shea is a former assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Minnesota and serves as a senior distinguished fellow at the University of St. Thomas School of Law.
Fall from grace: Why Nienstedt had so little support among Twin Cities Catholics
MINNESOTAMinnPost
By Tim Gihring
The letters began arriving shortly before John Nienstedt was appointed archbishop in 2008: clean up or be shut down. It was the least that his predecessor, Archbishop Harry Flynn, could do: play the good cop; warn the rebellious parishes in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis before the bad cop arrived.
Nienstedt seemed to relish the bad-cop role. He wore a fedora, like a G-man. Through his Rumsfeldian, half-frame glasses, he saw sin everywhere, and he revamped the Catholic Spirit, a once-freethinking archdiocesan newspaper, as a pulpit to rail against it.
And he did indeed drive some of the most accommodating members among his flock of 750,000 into hiding, banning lay people from addressing the faithful during Mass, calling out priests who welcomed openly gay worshippers as abetting “a grave evil,” and quickly shutting down services like the one at St. Stephen’s Catholic Church, in Minneapolis, where women often led the liturgy — without so much as a hello.
“You’re a controversial figure,” a woman told him back in 2008, at a St. Paul gathering of the National Council of Catholic Women. “I am?” he joked. “I tend to be straightforward — perhaps that puts people off.”

Nearly two years into a clergy sex abuse scandal, Archbishop John Nienstedt has resigned as head of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis.
The Vatican said Pope Francis accepted the resignations of Nienstedt, 68, and Auxiliary Bishop Lee Piche, 57. They resigned under the church law that allows bishops to resign before they retire because of illness or some other "grave" reason that makes them unfit for office.
• Nienstedt's departure makes him only the second American bishop in the Catholic Church to resign as the result of a clergy sex abuse scandal.
• The Rev. Bernard Hebda, coadjutor archbishop of Newark, N.J., has been named temporary administrator of the archdiocese.
When Nienstedt arrived in the Twin Cities in 2007, he said his motto as archbishop would be unity, as he explained in a 2010 interview.
"I wanted to spend my time as being a bishop building up the unity of the church, building unity between churches, and then building a sense of harmony in the world," he said.

With this recent flurry of movement on clergy sex abuse, we suspect that Francis' public relations advisors are trying hard to burnish his imagine prior to his US trip. But over the course of a long clerical career, Francis has ignored and concealed heinous crimes against kids and promoted or tolerated other clerics who are doing the same. One or two or three small steps doesn't erase decades of complicity.

Nienstedt, who spearheaded an anti-gay DVD mailer campaign in 2010, told the mother of a gay son that she must reject him or risk burning in hell, and claimed Satan is behind same-sex marriage, was himself accused of inappropriately touching an underage male back in 2013.

Finally, more than a year and a half after the breaking of the story of widespread abuse and cover up in the St. Paul/Minneapolis Diocese, Archbishop John Neinstedt has finally resigned. This is a tiny but belated step forward.
After centuries of abuse and cover up done in secrecy, and decades of abuse and cover up done somewhat in public, evidently one pope has finally seen fit to oust one archbishop for complicity in clergy sex crimes. That's encouraging. But it's only a very tiny drop of reform in an enormous bucket of horror.
Neinstedt’s departure will, in the short term, make some adults happier. By itself, it won't, in the long term, make many kids safer.
Keep in mind that dozens of St. Paul/Minneapolis Archdiocese Catholic employees are concealing or have concealed clergy sex crimes. So it's irresponsible for anyone to get complacent. Protecting predators and endangering kids is a deeply-rooted and long-standing pattern in the Catholic hierarchy. It didn't start with one man and won't stop with one man. There were dozens of church staff who could and should have stopped many of these abusers’ crimes by simply calling 911. But they protected themselves and their jobs by staying silent. They too should be ousted by the Vatican.
Virtually no St. Paul/Minneapolis Catholic employee spoke up on behalf of brave whistleblowers like Jennifer Hasselberger or joined us to challenge Neinstedt for keeping Fr. Keating, Fr. Wehmeyer, and others in ministry.
The scandal in Minnesota goes far beyond a local crisis. It's crucial to remember that basically no Catholic supervisors have been punished, worldwide, for enabling and hiding horrific clergy sex crimes. The Pope must start defrocking clerics who cover up sex crimes (like Nienstedt), not just clerics who commit them (like Wehmeyer). Until that happens, little will change.
So to us it's clear: despite new promises, pledges, panels, protocols and procedures - and new scandals - in the Minnesota dioceses, virtually no one in the church hierarchy is really reforming.
There are now, according to BishopAccountability.org, fifty-five publicly accused Twin Cities area child molesting clerics/staff. That's a fraction of the real total. Neinstedt alone did not enable, ignore and conceal their crimes. Sadly, he has had and still has plenty of help continuing the cover ups.
So vigilance, not complacency, is needed now. It's crucial that those who see, suspect or suffer clergy sex crimes and cover ups in the Twin Cities, or anywhere, keep finding the strength to get help, protect kids, call police, expose wrongdoers, deter wrongdoing, and start healing.

Vatican must link removal of Minnesota bishops to pedophilia scandal
UNITED STATESThe Dallas Morning News
Rudolph Bush
Only a week has passed since Pope Francis declared a new tribunal to review cases of bishops who shielded pedophile priests and shuffled them around parishes to protect them from discovery.
And just two weeks have passed since prosecutors in St. Paul, Minn. accused the Catholic Archdiocese there of “willfully ignoring signs of a pedophile priest,” according to a story in the New York Times.
In a signal that the Vatican is at last catching up to the concerns of the faithful, both Archbishop John Nienstedt and Lee Piche, an auxiliary bishop, resigned in St. Paul yesterday.
Nienstedt suggested the decision was his own. The facts, and his longtime reticence to resign, suggest otherwise.
“In order to give the Archdiocese a new beginning amidst the many challenges we face, I have submitted my resignation as Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis to our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and I have just received word that he has accepted it,” Nienstedt wrote.
He added that he leaves the church with a clear conscience.
It will be up to prosecutors to show whether that clear conscience is warranted.
Priorities?
UNITED STATESQuestions from a Ewe
Our dear bishops in the U.S. concluded their semi-annual meeting two days ago and I'm sure we're all elated that they had the courage to tackle some really challenging topics during that meeting.
Their first vote addressed that vexing problem plaguing so many American Catholics...what to do about the canticles used in the Liturgy of the Hours. Well, friends, sleep peacefully tonight. They voted to use a new English translation of those canticles - "in a style similar to the Revised Grail Psalms, with emphasis on sprung rhythms and faithful translation." Whew! Glad they got that sorted out! It's easy to see why they voted on this first, and quite frankly, a bit surprising that they didn't handle this pressing issue at an earlier date by calling a special meeting or something.
Their second vote pertained to priest formation / seminary training. If you love the "bells and smells," non-pastoral, uber-orthodoxy with a heaping helping of spiritual and emotional immaturity emerging from seminaries of late, you are in luck because they decided to continue existing priest formation norms without any changes whatsoever for the next five years. As Mass participation plummets and young folks flee the church, at a vote of 179 "yes", 1 "no" and 1 abstention, they overwhelmingly decided to pat themselves on the back and continue current course and speed. Can we conclude that further reduced Mass participation is their desired outcome since they voted to continue a formation program that seems to contribute significantly to laypeople's disgust with and departure from the Church?
Vatican assets in the United States of America
The Catholic Church in the United States, with “assets of more than $100 billion, today possesses more than ten times the combined wealth of IBM, Exxon, General Motors, and U.S. Steel.”
- stock it controls on the New York and American stock exchanges, and property, gold reserves, and paintings—are probably $50 billion to $60 billion
- There is no accountability for these funds to anyone except the Vatican. Everything is done in complete secrecy
- The hierarchy has learned to act indirectly through Catholic laypersons
- The hierarchy acts through Catholic politicians – see list below
Note that this Vatican fortune in the USA has only multiplied – exponentially –through the decades since that book was written.

Terrorism is “Made in the USA”.
The “Global War on Terrorism” is a Fabrication, A Big Lie
The USA has always manipulated religion to further
its global hegemony on sovereign states.
Global Research, May 19, 2015
Perdana Global Peace Foundation and Global Research, 11 March 2015
Prominent academic and author Dr Michel Chossudovsky warned that the so-called war on terrorism is a front to propagate America’s global hegemony and create a New World Order.
Dr Chossudovsky said terrorism is made in the US and that terrorists are not the product of the Muslim world.
According to him, the US global war on terrorism was used to enact anti-terrorism laws that demonised Muslims in the Western world and created Islamophobia.
Elaborating on his argument, Dr Chossudovsky said that NATO was responsible for recruiting members of the Islamic state while Israel is funding “global jihad elements inside Syria”.
Dr Chossudovsky, who is also the founder of the Centre for Research and Globalisation, further emphasised that the global war on terrorism is a fabrication, a big lie and a crime against humanity.
Echoing Dr Chossudovsky’s arguments, Malaysia’s prominent political scientist, Islamic reformist and activist Dr Chandra Muzaffar said that the US has always manipulated religion to further its global hegemony on sovereign states.
”The Globalization of War is undoubtedly one of the most important books on the contemporary global situation produced in recent years.
In his latest masterpiece, Professor Michel Chossudovsky shows how the various conflicts we are witnessing today in Ukraine, Syria, Iraq and Palestine are in fact inter-linked and inter-locked through a single-minded agenda in pursuit of global hegemony helmed by the United States and buttressed by its allies in the West and in other regions of the world.” Dr Chandra Muzaffar, President of the International Movement for a Just World (JUST)

The following text is the Preface of Michel Chossudovsky’s New Book entitled: The Globalization of War, America’s Long War against Humanity
The Book can be ordered directly from Global Research Publishers.
America’s hegemonic project in the post 9/11 era is the “Globalization of War” whereby the U.S.-NATO military machine —coupled with covert intelligence operations, economic sanctions and the thrust of “regime change”— is deployed in all major regions of the world. The threat of pre-emptive nuclear war is also used to black-mail countries into submission.
This “Long War against Humanity” is carried out at the height of the most serious economic crisis in modern history.
It is intimately related to a process of global financial restructuring, which has resulted in the collapse of national economies and the impoverishment of large sectors of the World population.
The ultimate objective is World conquest under the cloak of “human rights” and “Western democracy”.
REVIEWS:
“Professor Michel Chossudovsky is the most realistic of all foreign policy commentators. He is a model of integrity in analysis, his book provides an honest appraisal of the extreme danger that U.S. hegemonic neoconservatism poses to life on earth.”
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury
““The Globalization of War” comprises war on two fronts: those countries that can either be “bought” or destabilized. In other cases, insurrection, riots and wars are used to solicit U.S. military intervention. Michel Chossudovsky’s book is a must read for anyone who prefers peace and hope to perpetual war, death, dislocation and despair.”
Hon. Paul Hellyer, former Canadian Minister of National Defence
“Michel Chossudovsky describes globalization as a hegemonic weapon that empowers the financial elites and enslaves 99 percent of the world’s population.
“The Globalization of War” is diplomatic dynamite – and the fuse is burning rapidly.”
Michael Carmichael, President, the Planetary Movement

Pope Francis buys souls of Kenneth Copeland & evangelicals to prepare for USA presidential election. God forbid Jeb Bush wins! Bush is the curse of America
UNITED STATESPopeCrimes& Vatican Evils.
Paris Arrow
On June 23, 2014, Pope Francis met with Kenneth Copeland and 8 other US evangelicals at the Vatican. It was a perfect timing to coincide with the Copeland's annual convention in Forth Worth Texas from June 30 to July 5 where Kenneth spoke about the Pope during an entire session. which he never did in his entire 40 years ministry. Below is a compilation of disagreement and anger from his followers which is very enlightening. So is this why Pope Francis cancelled his daily mass for the summer and his weekly Wednesday Angelus because he wanted to use those time for meeting with other religions and other sects and evangelicals like Kenneth Copeland – instead of meeting his usual Francis-Maniacs Catholic zombie and stupid nuns in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday Angelus?

Daddy Cry Baby |
George Bush 41 (Reagan's worst mistake) breaks down in another of his emotional blathers as he heaps praise on his dearest son. Apparently what got dad all in a teary-eyed meltodown was not the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians that died in Bush 43's little war, or the trillions of dollarsthat Bush 43 has wasted on his war, but the memory of how good old Jeb accepted his defeat for Florida governor in 1994. His crackup came as he said "the true measure of a man is how you handle victory and defeat." Oh, it makes me feel like crying...  George W. Bush for his sham Iraq War -- and the Vatican Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team -- use Hitler's propaganda techniques Hitler could be said to be the originator of Alinsky's famous Rule 13: 'Pick the target, freeze the target, personalize it and polarize it.' Hitler was one of the first modern politicians to recognize how important media and messaging were to popularizing progressive policies: "The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses." [...] "This sentiment, however, is not complex, but simple and consistent. It is not highly differentiated, but has only the negative and positive notions of love and hatred, right and wrong, truth and falsehood." "Propaganda must not investigate the truth objectively and, in so far as it is favourable to the other side, present it according to the theoretical rules of justice; yet it must present only that aspect of the truth which is favourable to its own side. (...) The receptive powers of the masses are very restricted, and their understanding is feeble. On the other hand, they quickly forget. Such being the case, all effective propaganda must be confined to a few bare essentials and those must be expressed as far as possible in stereotyped formulas. These slogans should be persistently repeated until the very last individual has come to grasp the idea that has been put forward. (...) Every change that is made in the subject of a propagandist message must always emphasize the same conclusion. The leading slogan must of course be illustrated in many ways and from several angles, but in the end one must always return to the assertion of the same formula." http://joshuapundit.blogspot.ca/2013/02/adolf-hitler-progressive-pioneer.html |

December 10, 2014 International Human Rights Day
A picture speaks a thousand words. Here are images of the 2 evil Achilles Heels of John Paul II and George W. Bush, two contemporaries in the 21st century who covered-up – through religion – their own worst crimes against children and youth of America and the whole world.
The 2 Evil Achilles Heels of Satanas Saint John Paul II are Cardinal Bernard Law and priest Marcial Maciel, the serial pedophile, pederast, adulterous priest and poster boy of the JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. Read the related links below for further explanations.
George W. Bush’s evil Achilles Heels are the Iraq War and the CIA Torture (newly revealed documents) which he condoned and ordered - in secret. John Paul II and George W. Bush were the epitome of covert operations that destroyed the lives of incalculable thousands of children (mostly boys) and young people (mostly young men). While John Paul II now sits in the highest altars of sainthood in all Catholic churches, and George W. Bush now sits painting portraits of past US presidents – meanwhile, thousands of young soldiers sit maimed and lamed from Bush’s Iraq War, and thousands of children are fatherless from lost young fathers who were soldiers in Bush’s (delusion) “War on Terror”, and countless children suffer a ‘living hell’ from the bestial JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army.

US Wars in Afghanistan, Iraq to Cost $6 trillion
This article was originally posted on GR on September 20, 2013
by Sabir Shah
The decade-long American wars in Afghanistan and Iraq would end up costing as much as $6 trillion, the equivalent of $75,000 for every American household, calculates the prestigious Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
Remember, when President George Bush’s National Economic Council Director, Lawrence Lindsey, had told the country’s largest newspaper “The Wall Street Journal” that the war would cost between $100 billion and $200 billion, he had found himself under intense fire from his colleagues in the administration who claimed that this was a gross overestimation.
Consequently, Lawrence Lindsey was forced to resign. It is also imperative to recall that the Bush administration had claimed at the very outset that the Iraq war would finance itself out of Iraqi oil revenues, but Washington DC had instead ended up borrowing some $2 trillion to finance the two wars, the bulk of it from foreign lenders.
According to the Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government 2013 report, this accounted for roughly 20 per cent of the total amount added to the US national debt between 2001 and 2012.
According to the report, the US “has already paid $260 billion in interest on the war debt,” and future interest payments would amount to trillions of dollars. This Harvard University report has also been carried on its website by the Centre for Research on Globalisation, which is a widely-quoted Montreal-based independent research and media organisation.
In its report under review, the 377-year old Harvard University has viewed that these afore-mentioned wars had not only left the United States heavily indebted, but would also have a profound impact on the federal government’s fiscal and budgetary crises over a protracted period.
The report has attributed the largest share of the trillions of dollars in continuing costs to care and compensation for hundreds of thousands of troops left physically and psychologically damaged by the two wars being discussed here.
The report states: “The Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, taken together, will be the most expensive wars in US history—totaling somewhere between $4 trillion and $6 trillion. This includes long-term medical care and disability compensation for service members, veterans and families, military replenishment and social and economic costs. The largest portion of that bill is yet to be paid.”
It asserts: “Another major share of the long-term costs of the wars comes from paying off trillions of dollars in debt incurred as the US government failed to include their cost in annual budgets and simultaneously implemented sweeping tax cuts for the rich. In addition, huge expenditures are being made to replace military equipment used in the two wars. The report also cites improvements in military pay and benefits made in 2004 to counter declining recruitment rates as casualties rose in the Iraq war.”
The authors of this report have warned that the legacy of decisions taken during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars would dominate future federal budgets for decades to come.
According to the Harvard University report, some 1.56 million US troops—56 per cent of all Afghanistan and Iraq veterans—were receiving medical treatment at Veterans Administration facilities and would be granted benefits for the rest of their lives.
It reveals:
“One out of every two veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan has already applied for permanent disability benefits. The official figure of 50,000 American troops “wounded in action” vastly underestimates the real human costs of the two US wars. One-third of returning veterans are being diagnosed with mental health issues—suffering from anxiety, depression, and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).”
The report notes that in addition, over a quarter of a million troops have suffered traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which, in many cases, were combined with PTSD, posing greater problems in treatment and recovery.
“Constituting a particularly grim facet of this mental health crisis is the doubling of the suicide rate for US Army personnel, with many who attempted suicide suffering serious injuries,” opine the report authors.
It maintains:
“Overall, the Veterans Administration’s budget has more than doubled over the past decade, from $61.4 billion in 2001 to $140.3 billion in 2013. As a share of the total US budget it has grown from 2.5 percent to 3.5 percent over the same period. Soaring medical costs for veterans is attributable to several factors. Among them is that, thanks to advancements in medical technology and rapid treatment, soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan have survived wounds that would have cost their lives in earlier conflicts.”
The Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government report has estimated: “While the US government has already spent $134 billion on medical care and disability benefits for Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, this figure will climb by an additional $836 billion over the coming decades.”
It notes that the largest expenditures on health care for World War II veterans took place in the 1980s, roughly four decades after the war, and that spending on medical care and disability payments for Vietnam War veterans was still on the rise.
Here follows the description:
“The most common medical problems suffered by troops returning from the two wars include: diseases of the musculoskeletal system (principally joint and back disorders); mental health disorders; central nervous system and endocrine system disorders; as well as respiratory, digestive, skin and hearing disorders. Overall, some 29 per cent of these troops have been diagnosed with PTSD.”
The report goes on to argue:
“Among the most severely wounded are 6,476 soldiers and Marines who have suffered “severe penetrating brain injury,” and another 1,715 who have had one or more limbs amputated. Over 30,000 veterans are listed as suffering 100 percent service-related disabilities, while another 145,000 are listed as 70 to 90 percent disabled.”
It reads:
“The worst of these casualties have taken place under the Obama administration as a result of the so-called surge that the Democratic president ordered in Afghanistan.”
It mentions that the Walter Reed Medical Centre, US Army’s flagship hospital at Washington DC, was treating hundreds of recent amputees and severe casualties, adding that this facility had received 100 amputees for treatment during 2010; 170 amputees in 2011; and 107 amputees in 2012.
The report has also stated that the US Marines have suffered an especially high toll.
The report points out:
“Massive direct spending on the two imperialist interventions continues. With over 60,000 US troops remain in Afghanistan, it is estimated that the cost of deploying one American soldier for one year in this war amounts to $1 million. These troops continue suffering casualties—including in so-called “green on blue” attacks by Afghan security forces on their ostensible allies. As they are brought home, they will further drive up the costs of medical care and disability compensation. The US is maintaining a vast diplomatic presence in Iraq, including at least 10,000 private contractors providing support in security, IT, logistics, engineering and other occupations; as well as logistics support and payments for leased facilities in Kuwait.”
In its conclusion, the report not only seeks to dispel illusions that ending full-scale wars in Iraq and Afghanistan would produce any kind of “peace dividend” that could help ameliorate conditions of poverty, unemployment and declining living standards for working people in the US itself, but makes it clear that the legacy of decisions made during the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts would impose significant long-term costs on the federal government for many years to come.

- The Iraq war has cost the U.S. more than $2 trillion so far and with interest could swell to more than $6 trillion, according to a study released Thursday.The study, part of the Costs of War Project by the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University, drew from actual expenditures from the U.S. Treasury and future commitments.That $2 trillion figure comes from $1.7 trillion in war expenses and an additional $490 billion in benefits owed to war veterans.An extra $4 trillion factors in to pay interest through 2053. The study notes that because the Iraq War appropriations "were not funded with new taxes, but by borrowing, it is important to keep in mind the interest costs already paid, and future interest costs."The study raises the total cost of the Iraq war from the $1.7 trillion cost (without interest) estimated in a 2011 Watson Institute report.The new study concluded that both the war and the subsequent $212 billion reconstruction effort were failures as the war "reinvigorated radical Islamist militants in the region, set back women's rights, and weakened an already precarious health care system" while "most of [the reconstruction] money was spent on security or lost to waste and fraud," according to Daniel Trotta of Reuters reports.There are so many examples of waste and financial mismanagement in the war.
For example, when the U.S. invaded Iraq on March 19, 2003, the country's government owed Washington approximately $4 billion dollars — partially leftover from America's "loans" during the Iran-Iraq War.The debt was forgiven post-"liberation," part of a concerted push of then-governor of the war Paul Bremer. He argued it would help "boost" the fledgling free market.Later, American spending topped $12 billion a month and private contracting companies grew exponentially, arguably while doing shoddy work both in combat and in services and construction.The prevailing claim is that use of private contractors saved on military salary and benefits — a claim which casts the half a billion in benefits owed to Iraq War veterans in a more defining light.Some of the war's critics had argued the war said it was about freeing up Saddam's oil, which had been nationalized under the Ba'ath Party. However, when oil rights were awarded (often to the lamentations of local people), most seemed to go to foreign non-U.S. entities.Those companies ended up contracting Halliburton, an oilfield services company, for the lion's share of the oil field development. Halliburton, until 2007, owned a considerable stake of Kellog Brown and Root, one of the major contractors in Iraq allegedly responsible for misbehavior, abuse of funds, and less than adequate project completion.In October an audit revealed that the U.S. owes Iraq $7 billion because of fraud, part of which came from U.S. Army diplomats losing gas receipts totaling to $1 billion.The war's direct death toll is estimated to be more than 189,000, including at least 134,000 Iraqi civilians (some from chemical weapons). The authors of this study note that indirect deaths — due to war related hardship — may total "hundreds of thousands more than this estimate."The obscene flow of money, violence, and consequent sectarian strife are still common in the country. Seventeen people were killed today in a Baghdad bombing, just five days short of the decade anniversary of the invasion.Man Who Offered Evidence That Started The Iraq War Says It Was All One Big Lie
The man who provided the WMD intelligence that became the basis for starting the Iraq War has confirmed his lies in an interview with BBC, as reported by Jonathan Owen at The Independent.Rafid Ahmed Alwan al-Janabi, otherwise known as "Curveball," is the Iraqi chemical engineer and defector who invented claims about Iraq having weapons of mass destruction.When seeking political asylum in Germany in 1999, Curveball claimed to have supervised the building of a mobile biological laboratory.BBC also reported that U.S. officials then doctored Curveball's drawings of the laboratory to make them seem more legitimate. U.S. Secretary of State at the time, Colin Powell, relayed the fabrications as facts based on solid intelligence at the U.N. Security Council in February 2003 to justify the invasion of Iraq.From The Independent:US officials "sexed up" Mr Janabi's drawings of mobile biological weapons labs to make them more presentable, admits Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, General Powell's former chief of staff. "I brought the White House team in to do the graphics," he says, adding how "intelligence was being worked to fit around the policy."Mr. Janabi, who has been granted asylum in Germany, told the Guardian last year that he was exposed as a liar as early as mid-2000 when his former boss at the Military Industries Commission in Iraq, Dr. Bassil Latif, told the German secret service that he strongly denied several claims made by Mr. Janabi.Operation Iraqi Freedom, beginning in March 2003 and officially ending December 2011, cost over $820 billion and claimed the lives of over 100,00 civilians as well as 4,484 U.S. military personnel (with another 32,000 wounded), according to war reports analyzed by The Guardian.

Pope Francis the Jesuit Rich Fool
Among all the 15 ailments that Francis lectured on his Vatican Curia staff (who serve only the Vatican Mammon Beast aka Opus Dei Beast), the allusion to the rich best applies to himself. “It is the sickness of the rich fool who thinks he will live for all eternity, and of those who transform themselves into masters and believe themselves superior to others, rather than at their service”. Pope Francis’ unprecedented “Hidden Heist in the Holy See” makes him as the “rich fool” because as the first Jesuit Pope, he has transformed himself into the prime master of deceits and he believes he is superior to others --- as he hoards the loots of despots and imperialists in secret Vatican Swiss Banks thus breeding wars in many nations and as consequence of poverty, violence against children and women --- instead of being at their service. What Pope Francis does is to pay lip-service to the poor while serving only the 1% richest people on the globe.
Pope Francis is the “rich fool” who knows he will for all eternity be pope– but like a ruse snake, he knows has only a limited window of opportunity to sweep under the rug the Vatican Billions amassed by his papal predecessors – especially John Paul II in his longest 27 years papacy.
Pope Francis is the Jesuit Master of Deceits and he had to make the Vatican Bank appear acceptable to modern banking standards because the small fake country of the Vatican has to make business with Italy and other countries – read our related article, Obama admin versus Vatican Bank: A compilation. USA government lists Vatican as 'potential money-laundering center' http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2012/03/obama-admin-list-vatican-as-potential.html
But Switzerland is the other Vatican country that is above-the-law- and above-banking-laws --- accountable to no one but to itself, just like Vatican Autocracy. It is time for the United Nations to abolish the Vatican as a (fake) country and to abolish Switzerland as a “neutral country”.

My childhood and a good part of my life was stolen by a pervert masquerading as a priest.
Once, at a motivational meeting about 20 years ago, I heard the speaker make a statement that really rocked me. He said, "A friend is someone who knows everything about you and still likes you anyway." Most people there laughed, but I felt a twinge of pain. My friends, and even my wife, did not know my deepest, darkest secret.
Not too long after that, I heard someone make the profound statement: "We are as sick as our secrets." That also made my stomach do flip-flops.
I believe this article is long overdue. About eight or nine years ago, there was an article about me in the Denver Post, but I was anonymous in that one because I still was too afraid to put my name to my story. However, my story was published in the Denver Post on Dec. 18, 2005, with all the names and the facts. It took 50 years to summon up the courage to tell the truth.
My motive now is to try to create a little more awareness on the subject of how a person feels who has been severely abused by someone whom they believed to be next best to God/Jesus. This business of the clergy sexually molesting the faithful is nothing new. It has been going on for centuries. The hierarchy of the church has had so much power, to the point of even threatening people with excommunication, if they dared talk about priests molesting the faithful. Of course, most of the hierarchy haven't used that tactic much for about the last 20 years. But it did work very well for them for a long time, because all good Catholics knew that excommunication from the church was a sure ticket to everlasting hell. And, if you are a good Catholic, you're not going to take that chance. Just get back in line and keep your mouth shut if you want a shot at heaven.

Francis in-name-only
Pope Francis, YOU took Francis of Assisi’s name – but that’s all there is, isn’t it? You are “in name only” – nothing else. There’s nothing similar in essence or substance or in person between you and St. Francis - and if the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team are already preparing for your sainthood like they did with documents for John Paul II’s 27 years papacy, you’re being duped big time. You should have retired into a simple cave like poverello St. Francis of Assisi – who even refused to be a priest to clone the flesh of Christ because he knew as he wrote his canticle to the moon and stars - that no one can clone the Creator of those millions of stars in the firmament. Ever saw these images of NASA “Hand of God and Pillars of Creation”? Can you clone one of these with your papal infallible words? You cannot clone an ant or a dog or a star and therefore you cannot clone Christ either.

You cannot clone an ant or a dog or one of the stars therefore you cannot clone Jeus the Son of God either in the sorcery of the Eucharist.
St. Francis denounced the wealth of his merchant father while you embraced and vowed to the Vatican Mammon Beast worse than a Satanic Mass. St. Francis embraced a leper but you exploit the sick for your political photo-ops (and at your age caught their virus). You hypocritically preach about the poor but you actually mock them because at the same time, behind closed doors in the Vatican art chambers, you have private audiences and photo-ops with royalties of Europe who are the 1% wealthiest of the globe, photos with despots and imperialists like President Obama who steal the wealth of Third World countries, read here how the Philippines protested Obama’s visit as he plants more bases only to serve American hegemony, read here - http://filipina-nannies-caregivers.blogspot.ca/2013/05/anti-imperialist-groups-cordillera.html . Your photo-op with Obama actually perpetuates American Imperialism in the Philippines and in other Asian and European countries. http://ilps.info/index.php/en/office-of-the-chairperson/messages-and-speeches/710-us-imperialism-and-peoples-resistance-in-the-philippines
Why do you think your founder St. Ignatius Loyola specifically wrote in the constitution of the Jesuits that no Jesuits must accept to be a high ranking bishop or cardinal? Jesuits were meant to be companions of Jesus, not companions of the Devil, the father of lies who came to steal, kill and destroy. Ignatius had no choice 500 years ago to go to the world to proclaim the Good News that he needed the ships of the Vatican and the European monarchy. But today, the Jesuits have amassed more wealth than any religious congregation, you have all the universities and schools you want or need. There is no need to continue serving the Pope, the Father of Lies the reincarnation of the Devil! But you set your sight on the highest throne in the Catholic Church and now the favorite words of St. Ignatius haunts you: What does it profit a man to gain the entire world, if he suffers the loss of his soul? …and you have committed the worst Pope Crimes more than all popes combined – you canonized John Paul II despite his JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, read here Cold-blood-ed John Paul is no saint for children because he said nothing and did nothing to save and protect them for 27 years
Please take a look at the worse Roman Catholic Church pedophile priests attacks against more than 15,500 Americans … compared to the September 11, 2001 attacks against 3,000 Americans at theTwin Towers in New York
Victims in USA - Attackers - Responsible Leaders
Pearl Harbor - 3,000 victims - 170 planes - Admiral Yamamoto
WTC & 9/11 attacks - 3,000 victims - 19 Muslims - Osama bin Laden
Priest pedophilia - 15,750+ victims - 6,100 pedophile priests covered-up by John Paul II, Benedict XVI Ratzinger, Opus Dei = the Vatican Trinity.

Jesus the Jew vs. Roman Popes
Amazing how Jesus has lose his Middle East roots and Jewish identity (albeit born in Bethlehem, Palestine, a Muslim country) and lose His Biblical mission as a poor itinerant preacher for He has become Roman Catholic and hostage of the most tiny country - the Vatican City where He is also the most caged captive in gold tabernacles by tyrant evil popes – those 2,000 year old chameleons Pretenders and Impostors of Jesus and con-artists CON-Christ popes.
From mass murderers, thieves, pedophiles, gays, adulterers like the Borgias, to John Paul II the Great Saint of Pedophiles, to Pope Francis the Worst Thief of Mankind – all popes use Christ as their mask, disguise and bait to serve one master alone –the Vatican Mammon Beast a.k.a. Opus Dei Beast ruling in the Vatican Palace - with only one goal - to preserve the Vatican Billions in secret Vatican Swiss Banks because the Vatican owns Switzerland. Hence there’s the unique Swiss Guard Army wherein all Swiss young men are required to go and serve at the Vatican before they can become bankers, investment managers and civil officers in Switzerland because the Vatican pope is its sole monarch. Believe it or not!
Pope Francis, the two new pope saints John XXIII and John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and all popes definitely do not resemble one iota Jesus the Poor Carpenter of Nazareth and Poor Fisherman in the Sea of Galilee! All movies portray Jesus as tall, lean and handsome but all popes, his assumed ‘Vicar of Christ’, have been FAT like COWS podgy, white and really hideous and repugnant they need the long white papal robe to constantly segue attention from their ugliness. Just look at the porky ass of Pope Francis that control 1.2 billion Catholics and the media world with his duck dance of wibble wobble Opus Dei Beast PR stunts. Look at this gigantic poster in Rome of porky ass Pope Francis with the two fat popes new saints he canonized –John XXIII and John Paul II the 27 years globetrotting narcissistic pope – who said nothing and did nothing to protect children from his JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army aptly named after his 27 years globetrotting papacy - and 1.2 billion stupid Catholics now adore them as their new fat Catholic Golden Cows.
Jesus of Nazareth
TALL, LEAN, HANDSOME JESUS
the poor fisherman of the Sea of Galilee
3 FAT well-fed cows - ROMAN POPES
-- Popes do NOT resemble Jesus Christ one iota
-- Popes do NOT resemble Jesus Christ one iota
-- Popes are CON-Christs and con-artists
-- Popes are Pretenders & Impostors of Jesus
-- Popes are LIARS & HYPOCRITES
- Popes cannot clone Christ, ants or dogs
- Popes are sorcerers in the Eucharist
- Popes are sorcerers in the Eucharist
- Popes are false magicians
-- Popes cannot clone or re-produce Jesus the Son of God
-- Popes are fat popes cannot reincarnate Jesus the Creator of the Universe
The Popes' Master is the Vatican Mammon Beast - because he is the owner of Switzerland and the secret Vatican Swiss Banks - hence the Swiss Guard Army.
HOAX of Eucharist - instant reincarnation of Christ's flesh and blood
is the worst Satanic Mass & sorcery of mankind
Popes and priests cannot clone ants and dogs and therefore
they cannot clone Jesus the Son of God the Creator of the Universe!

Christ wants to be set free from Vatican and popes and priests
Christ inspires and tells us that he wishes to be freed from the slavery of the Eucharist and be freed from the golden tabernacles in all Vatican Catholic churches worldwide – because all these are tools of the Vatican Mammon Beast to subdue people with feel-good theology – which are only pathological lies – that perpetuate their poverty and injustice and violence - via the Vatican Concordats, read more here in our article, Abolition of Vatican Concordat in Dominican Republic and bring pedophile Papal Nuncio and other pedophile Polish priests to justice http://popecrimes.blogspot.ca/2013/10/abolish-vatican-concordat-in-dominican.html
This post and blogs are inspired by St. Michael the Archangel whose flaming sword defends us from Goliath bullies of Opus Dei Beast Mafia. St. Michael shows us - through the much canonization news coming out this week – (see compilation below) – that there are more journalists speaking out against John Paul II’s sainthood, therefore our blogs all these years have not been in vain. Read Paris Arrow’s vision of St. Michael tying the giant millstone around John Paul II’s papal neck during his last World Youth Day in Toronto in 2002, as JP2 vehemently refuse to apologize and stop his bestial JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army, St. Michael dragged him and threw him into a raging sea of fire as stupid Catholic robots chanted “JP2, we love you”. http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/2011/09/911-decade-and-jp2-millstones-9th.html Beware, Francis-Maniacs for the demise of the Vatican Temple akin to the Temple of Solomon is at hand!

Many statues of John Paul II are being carved to equal those of Mary, Jesus and St. Joseph...the narcissim and grandiosity of John Paul II can only be equal to that of the Devil who refused to bow down to Jesus but wanted to be his equal on this earth.
John Paul II is LUCIFER reincarnated :" He opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, and as a result he takes his seat in God's temple, displaying himself as God. (2 Thessalonians: 2-4)

Opus Dei Beast PR Stunt of the Day: Wall Street Journal “Speculation Grows Over Potential Visit by Pope Francis to U.S.” to goad big American business donors and American idiot Catholics to give millions to Vatican Mammon Beast.
It’s very easy to detect the American journalists who are part of the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team at the Vatican – they all speak positively and fanatically about Pope Francis -- in order to brainwash and entice American idiot Catholics to give blindly and stupidly millions of dollars to the voracious evil Vatican Mammon Beast. Take the Wall Street Journal title Speculation Grows Over Potential Visit by Pope Francis to U.S. and its first paragraph to instantly programme American idiot Catholics that there is an “’intense’ speculation” of Pope Francis’s visit (see news articles below with our comments and emphases). Its purpose is to incite a pop star hype - to attend Pope Francis's Mass - like attending a concert of porno naked singer Miley Cyrus.

Paris Arrow
A small newspaper writer Joseph Tevington of the Bucks County Courier Times in Pennsylvania has detected the subtle snaky deceits coming out of giant journalists from AP, Reuters and Boston Globe and he is not afraid to special mention them. Tevington wrote in his article entitled boldly, Don't believe what you read: Church teaching isn't changing. Whoa, don’t believe what you read, idiot Catholics!
Tevington began his article, “Like many local newspapers, the Courier Times relies on large news organizations for national and international news. In the area of religious news, those organizations have a small pool of writers who may or who may not be well-equipped for their specialized work”. Then he gave specific examples.
Further on he wrote, “Whether one agrees with what the Catholic Church teaches, it strikes me that anyone seeking information would want, and be entitled to, accurate reporting. Whether it is intentional or not, the reports from the AP, Reuters and Boston Globe seem misleading”.

According to NCR, Jennifer Haselberger got a standing ovation before she uttered a word at the SNAP convention in Chicago last week. The “who’s who” list of speakers who played major roles (in the past) in revealing the Catholic church’s clergy sexual abuse crisis frequently referenced to her (past) role in exposing the St. Paul-Minneapolis archdiocese’s mishandling of pedophile priests. One speaker alone (was assigned) recapped portions of her dissertation (so she wouldn’t have to waste time repeating the past).

He is now defrocked but it took a year before the Vatican laicised him because the Vatican needed his signature for all the billions of dollars he looted from the country via the Vatican Concordat. With his commission of millions of dollars, he is the wealthiest and savviest criminal member of the JP2 Army, thus one of the most dangerous predator of young boys.

Clohessy was already in Rome during the papal conclave waiting for a papal appointment with the new pope. Barbara Blaine was in Rome to protest the canonization of John Paul II. Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP) is the largest organization of victims founded in the USA with members now worldwide but Pope Francis ignored them completely. Instead he met and said his hypocritical apology in a papal Eucharist Satanic Mass with 6 handpicked survivors who are idiot Catholics from Europe who were brainwashed and trained to say and write only what the Opus Dei Beast PR Deceits Team have brainwashed them to do.

The one-year swift Vatican Bank’s “peaceful transition” (by closing despots’ accounts and transferring them to secret Vatican Swiss Banks) is like a man who murders someone, then swiftly rolls his victim in a carpet, go dig a grave and bury him in a faraway field so that (relatives and) the police will never find his victim and never trace his crime. He also cleans up the murder scene and now he acts normally - as if nothing ever happened. He then goes to Confession and feels-good that the priest will keep his crime secret with the Seal of Confession and he feels relieved that his crime/sin is absolved with his 3 Hail Mary penance and he is guaranteed forgiveness and salvation to Heaven and can eat as much flesh-and-blood of Christ in the Eucharist Satanic Mass.
