Our latest related article about New Jersey "Bling" Bishop Myers http://pope-francis-con-christ.blogspot.ca/2014/02/new-jersey-bling-bishop-myers-wants-100.html
Christ is like oxygen - free, available and equal to all
Because of their permanent files in
BishopAccountability.org evidences of pedophile priests of Biblical proportions
in the USA since 2002, and which have swept also through Europe and now in
Australia, what Catholics must do is NOT to restore the image of the priest
– but to demote him from
his holy pedestal – so that they can elevate the dignity of all (voiceless)
children and women and will become
at par with the priest -- before Christ and IN Christ – because
Christ is like oxygen free and equal to all. And all are equal before Him.
Like oxygen, Christ is the same
here, there and everywhere for every living person…Christ is the same for
children, women and men…Christ is free and available for all 7 billion people (and
more) regardless of their religion. The Vatican Popes and Cardinals and
priests cannot breathe-in more oxygen more than women and children, or
more than lay Catholics and non-Christians.
Christ like oxygen is not the exclusive possession of the Popes and
priests. Christ is not the exclusive God
to 1.2 billion Catholics of the “Vatican Catholic Church”. Christ is not the slave of the Popes and
priests so that He only goes where they tell Him to go, or be who, where, when
they tell Him to be.

According to some missionaries,
priest pedophilia “is like a plague” in South America but they do not have our
justice system in the USA and Europe, and the stigma for the entire family and shame
in their cultures are preventing them and cannot help them to come out to
reveal their Catholic Church pedophile experiences. In BishopAccountability.org, there are news
and files of famous pedophile priests in Chile and Peru, etc. A few weeks ago, in the poor country of the
Dominican Republic, parents and people started to fight for justice and for the
abolition of the Vatican Concordat as their Papal Nuncio and his aide, another
Polish priest, fled the country after being caught paying prostitutions with
minor boys, and the world is now watching what the Vatican will do in its typical
travesty for justice, read more here
“Restoring the image of the priest”
A special to the Kenosha News entitled “Restoring
the image of the priest” was published on October 27, 2013 and its core message
couldn’t be further from the truth. J.J.
Steinhoff wrote that (emphasis ours):
There is nothing that can be
done to remove the pain of each victim, their families and all of those who were involved in this
scandal. However, it's time to move
on and look at some current facts about today's Catholic Church, and
specifically its priests.
Almost
all accusations against Catholic priests date
from many decades ago, and nearly half of all abuse accusations concern
priests who are already long dead….
This article echoes Goliath-bully Bill Donohue and
the Vatican Modus Operandi “to move on” and “forgive-and-forget” all that
pedophile priests Vatican shit and simply canonize John Paul II speedily and
the Vatican Catholic Church can simply have a nice party and feast on the
Eucharist cloned flesh of Christ and chant “JP2, we love you”! That is why we
keep asking SNAP to start the bi-annual memorial days for all victims of pedophile priests September 11 and in May 1 or Divine Mercy Sunday (every year)
to coincide with the canonization of John Paul II, read more here http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/2011/
If there is no memorial day for victims of pedophile
priests, Goliath-bully Bill Donohue and the Vatican will easily blow away Bishop-Accountability.org like “Dust
in the wind” or dust in Catholic Church history books! Read our related article SNAP as Dust in the Wind
Just like this article special to the Kenosha News entitled
“Restoring the image of the priest” is doing, from the citations above, Opus
Dei Catholics will simply campaign – that Bishop-Accountability files date from many decades ago” and they concern priests who are already
long dead…therefore
FORGET them! This is the Modus Operandi of the Vatican and
all Bishops that even Governor Jerry Brown is enslaved by them and intoxicated
by the Sorcery of the Eucharist, read our related article

Like Adam, JP2 Army was many decades ago
Benedict XVI blamed the (oldest guy in the Bible) Devil for tempting 20th
Century and 21st Century thousands
of pedophile priests and admitted that the Smoke of Satan has penetrated
the Vatican just like Eve blamed the Serpent for tempting her to eat of
the forbidden fruit – only one fruit.
She and her partner Adam (who aided and abetted her) were banished from
the Garden of Eden. That sin or crime happened thousands or millions or
billions of years ago and were committed only by two persons of mankind …but
its consequences continue to affect – all her children – and the 7 billion
people of today. God even put an Angel with
a flaming sword to guard that garden so that Eve and all her children would
never be able to enter it again. Now, Goliath-bully Bill Donohue and
his army of Opus Dei Catholic League are all scurrying to save the priesthood
by endlessly saying “Almost all accusations against Catholic priests
date from many decades ago, and nearly half of all abuse accusations concern priests who are
already long dead.” FYI, Adam and Eve
too are already long dead and their sin happened millions of years ago.
But one thing is sure, John Paul II was very much alive and at
the pinnacle of his papal pow
er in the longest reign of 27 years as “the
Great” pope when he said nothing and did nothing to save and protect children
from the 80 pedophile priests whom Cardinal Bernard Law of Boston aided and abetted for decades until 2002, and he refused to meet with the
victims of then much alive serial
pedophile Fr. Marcial Maciel.
Therefore, like Adam,
John Paul II,
Cardinal Bernard Law, Cardinal Ratzinger and all Cardinals and Bishops were all “partners” in crimes, protecting all those
heinous criminal priests though religious Canon Laws, hence they are aptly
called JP2 Army – John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army. And on the eve of his canonization, God has
revealed to us - that the hands of John Paul II are evil
as well - because he ordained a Polish Bishop who was the current (until August 2013) Papal
Nuncio to the Dominican Republic who was pimping boys between ages 13 to 18, the
new poster boy of the JP2 Army in the 21st
Century, alive and active despite all that Vatican Deceit of “a pure
and clean church”. This Papal Nuncio is very much alive in his early 50’s, and his cohort in
pedophile crimes in the Dominican Republic was also a young Polish priest - who
fled to Poland but was caught by Interpol, read more here Vatican Concordats
The Jesuits and the Opus Dei are
working together for the first time and are scurrying to save their jobs as
priests before 1.2 billion Catholics wake up to the truth that will finally set
them from the Eucharist Hoax…and the whole world shall become free as well
especially from the Vatican Concordats…for Jesus said, “You shall know the
truth and the truth shall set you free”. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the
life” and the Popes, Cardinals, Bishops and priests are all imposters of Christ
performing the Sorcery of the Eucharist of the counterfeit cloning of Christ’s
flesh, read more here Pope Francis Top 10 Vatican Deceits .
When Amnesty International first
listed the Vatican or Holy See for its violation rights against humanity’s
children, the Vatican downplayed it by saying that there are onlya few percentage of pedophile
priests among the 55,000thousands of priests worldwide. More than 5,000 priests gathered at St.
Peter’s Square for the “Year of the Priests” with Benedict XVI, read
here
Eve and Benedict XVI blame the Devil. Analysis of Pope’s homily in Year for Priests -sorcerers of Christ’s flesh and blood
One of the Opus Dei Vatican Pied
Piper in the USA, J.J. Steinhoff, recently
posted, “Restoring the image of the priest” in Wisconsin campaigning for the
Vatican by saying
“However, it's time to
move on and look at some current facts about today's Catholic Church, and
specifically its priests.”
This is very dangerous not only for 1.2
billion Catholics, but for the whole world and many nations, 175 nations under
the Vatican Concordats who will continue to be enslaved and exploited by the
Vatican and their cohorts. After all the things Google and Bishop Accountability.org
have revealed to us for over a decade, mankind cannot afford “to move on” in the way that the Vatican
and it Pied Pipers are misleading (again) the world to do. The fact is, read our article, the Catholic Church is not the
moral authority of the world
The Catholic Church is not the world’s moral authority. The Vatican Titanic is sunken deep in the ocean of moral bankruptcy
For
centuries, the world tolerated the Pope Crimes and Vatican Evils because the
Pope and priest in their mesmerizing sacred robes performed the Back Magic of
the Eucharist. Mankind had no Google and
were only brainwashed by the Jesuit missionaries, their Jesuit universities and
Jesuit mission worldwide and the powers of priests who claimed to hold the exclusive
powers to decide what or when is mankind’s salvation to Heaven or condemnation
to Hell. http://pope-ratz.blogspot.ca/2008/04/opus-dei-pope-2-benedict-xvi-cult_17.html
Priests cannot restore to their former image especially with the
outrageous lie that John Paul II is a “saint” and are required by Opus Dei to
quote him in all their Masses and all sunday Mass worldwide.
Children cannot go on
like in the past and be altar servers and not be careful that every priest is a
potential pedophile priest.
Children and women cannot go on like before giving all the sacred powers
to priests in the Eucharist and all the other sacraments.
Priests are not closer
to Christ just because they have spent time reading theological books because Theology and John Paul II are heartless and together they made the immoral Fr. Marcial Maciel thrive http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2010/05/theology-and-john-paul-ii-are-heartless.html
The price that 1.2 billion Catholics pay for the Sorcery of the
Eucharist have to stop because that is the seat of the power of the Vatican in
the Vatican Concordats with 175 countries where they usurp billion of dollars
annually and these Catholics do not benefit from them – just like the Third

from the secret Vatican Swiss Banks and must stop forever giving to the Vatican

more money than all institutions and governments in this world that will last

It is time for the end

“country” and it’s time for the abolition of all Vatican Concordats in the
world.
Priest’s captivating costumes makes Catholics their
captives
Those princely black robes of
Cardinals and regalia of Bishops, those Opus Dei prelates and the black
suits and white collars of priests, the
white costume of the Popes are like the Emperor’s Clothes, they cannot hoard-in more grace or they cannot breath-in
more oxygen of Christ. Christ never wore
white like the Pope. Christ never lived in a palace like the Vatican that
rivals the castles of Europe. Christ
never spoke in Latin and he hated the redundant robotic on-the-clock prayers of the Pharisees and he cursed their bejwelwed Temple of Solomon which the Vatican Temple now surpasses. So Our Lady of Fatima cursed the Vatican and the Pope for thousands of heinous pedophile priests covered-up in the Vatican archives.
It is time to knock priests down
from their holy thrones especially the Popes and Princes of the “Vatican
Catholic Church”, especially those ostentatious “Bling” Cardinals and Bishop
worldwide. Scientists who know all the
analysis of oxygen cannot breathe-in more oxygen than people who do not know
the chemistry or components of oxygen.
The Popes and priests are not “closer to Christ” just because they have
read a certain number of spiritual books
published by the Opus Dei exclusive Scepter or they read John Paul II’s
writings, read our related article, Theology and John Paul II are
heartless http://jp2m.blogspot.ca/2010/05/theology-and-john-paul-ii-are-heartless.html.

BLACK MAGIC OF EUCHARIST
1-MINUTE black magic of the cloning of Christ by sinful Vatican pope and priests
Our comment: Transubstantiation or the Mass is a recent development . St. Peter and St. Paul and the Apostles never celebrated Mass and never “transubstantiation” the bread into the flesh of Christ, what they did was to preach about Christ. The Mass was a slow development from the 12th century through various liturgical reforms until the 20th century. It was only in 1215 at the Fourth Council of the Lateran that the Mass began to take form and in 1551 at the Council of Trent that transubstantiation became what it is today.
The Vatican has come to use it as its main crux of power on earth deceiving Catholics and peoples of all faiths that only Popes and men-priests have the exclusive power to transubstantiate - or clone - God’s flesh. Because of the Mass, the Vatican has gotten away with all kinds of heinous crimes, e.g. the Crusades, the Inquisition, the burning of women and witches http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2006/11/john-paul-ii-revived-inquisition.html “For the sake of the Eucharist” and because of the shortage of priests, John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger-Benedict XVI, the Opus Dei who controls the Vatican, the Cardinals and Bishops shuffled pedophile priests from one parish to another. The rest is history: the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army committed Holy ES Eucharist-and-Sodomy of Biblical proportions see the John Paul II Millstone http://jp2m.blogspot.com/.
In the name of Hail Mary, we dare challenge and defy the Magisterium: No words pronounced by any finite-man can create an infinite-God! No words of the Pope and priests can re-create or re-incarnate Christ’s flesh. The words of sinful popes and priests are powerless and can never create God! Only Mary the Immaculate Conception deserved to bear God in her womb. No evil pope and evil priests is worthy to touch and hold God in their evil hands. The words of popes and Cardinals, Bishops and priests are mere clashing-cymbals of St. Paul see John Paul II the Great clashing cymbal of St. Paul http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/11/john-paul-ii-great-clashing-cymbal-of.html.

See Benedict XVI to beatify John Paul II is “brought to nothing” by St. Paul http://pope-ratz.blogspot.com/2009/11/benedict-xvi-to-beatify-john-paul-ii-is.html
No matter how we look at it, finite-man cannot create an infinite-God. Man can never create God’s flesh. Not in in-vitro fertilization of the scientific laboratories. Not in the sacred altars of holy Roman Catholic churches which by the way were the same pedophile altars of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army See the John Paul II Millstone http://jp2m.blogspot.com/
Rome, call us heretics and we don’t care because in Boston and in America, we have freedom of speech. It was our freedom of speech that got rid of criminal-Cardinal Bernard Law and sent him packing out of our sight and out of our land. But only you, Rome, you the Roman Catholic Church a.k.a. Magisterium would glorify criminals like Cardinal Bernard Law and John Paul II. No other American state has been able to replicate our courage as Bostonians who got rid of the first Cardinal caught guilty of the John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army in America. Yes, we caught the first SS officer of the Third Reich of the Roman Catholic Church … but he went into glorious exile in Rome because only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified See The John Paul II Millstone John Paul II Pedophile Priests Army expands into Ireland &John Paul is elevated as "Venerable"... only in the Catholic Church are criminals glorified http://jp2m.blogspot.com/2009/12/john-paul-ii-pedophile-priests-army.html
Benedict XVI, from the Chair of Peter, thinks his papal letter will heal the victims and solve the problem of clergy abuse in Ireland. The fact is, Benedict XVI’s words are powerless. NO POPE has ever healed anyone. As this picture shows,
They came sick and they left sick.
There is NO "Apostolic" authority or succession here,
for NO Pope has EVER been able to heal like Peter or Paul did.

The 5 new Mysteries of Light written by John Paul II proved the “JP2 Mysteries of Darkness” during his 27 years papacy wherein he said nothing and did nothing to protect children and to stop thousands of pedophile priests.John Paul II is the most traveled pope but it was all for his narcissistic self glory as John Paul II “the Great” and now we are seeing that the JP2 Army tsunami really infested the whole world as far as Australia. And now the Polish Papal Nuncio in the Dominican Republic was quietly sacked after families discover he has been pimping young prebucent boys, see news below.

News for October 27, 2013
WISONSIN
Kenosha News
Kenosha News
By J.J.
Steinhoff
Special
to the Kenosha News
In the
last few years I've noticed that many of the Catholic churches in Kenosha have
reduced their Mass schedules. Even with these reductions, many parishes appear
to be only half full during their weekly services and those in attendance seem
to be more old than young. As a lifelong Catholic, I often wonder why so many
people have left the church and what we can do to get them back. In my view,
the first steps are to restore the image of the Catholic priest and to also
make the public aware that the church has cleaned up its act.
To be
clear, I was as disgusted as anyone when the sexual abuse scandals rocked the
church back in 2002. The cover-up and subsequent payoffs by the Archdiocese of
Milwaukee made it even worse. When the Kenosha News ran their front page story
in July on the 10 local abusive priests, I studied documents on each one for
hours. Some of the priests were alcoholics with emotional problems and some
never should have been ordained to begin with. One in particular was nothing
more than a monster who used his position of power to terrorize others. There is nothing that can be done to remove the pain of each
victim, their families and all of those who were involved in this scandal. However, it's time to move on and look at some current facts about
today's Catholic Church, and specifically its priests.
Almost all accusations against Catholic priests date from many decades ago, and nearly
half of all abuse accusations concern priests who are already long dead. The 10 priests who were featured in the Kenosha
News over the summer fit this profile. None of them had performed Mass in this
area for many years, yet judging by their pictures on the front page, it
appeared as if they were current and active priests. Nationally, in today's Catholic Church,
accusations against current clergy are very rare and averaged only eight per
year between 2005-2012. With an overall Catholic population of 77 million
people, this is a very low number.

FEARFUL
TODAY AND EVERY DAY IN MINNESOTA
MINNESOTAJeff Anderson and Associates
JEFFREY R. ANDERSON
It’s Halloween and you should be scared in Minnesota. There are dozens of credibly accused clerical offenders of children whose names are only known to the Catholic bishops and kept secret. You don’t know who they are, and you don’t know where they are. What we do know is that they could harm our children and that the hierarchs in Minnesota from Duluth to St. Cloud to New Ulm, to Winona and the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis know and have already determined the clerical offenders to be “credibly accused” of abuse of minors. But with only the desire to protect themselves, the Catholic hierarchs in Minnesota continue to worry more about their reputation than the well-being of the children. I wish we could say this was just a Halloween hazard, but this is a hazard that has been ongoing for a long time and will continue until these names are disclosed and made known to the communities in which these people are living and working. Our firm is working vigorously with survivors to force the disclosure of these names and of these lists across the state. Until they do, there is every reason to be scared on Halloween and on every day until there is a full and open disclosure.

In that capacity, he was, as Reese notes, roughly the equivalent of the Vatican's "chief prosecutor" for cases of clerical abuse in the Catholic church.
As I read what Scicluna has to say about how canon law addresses abuse cases, I'm struck by the following:
1. The emphasis of Scicluna's reading of canon law (and this reflects the emphasis of canon law itself) is far and away skewed in the direction of protecting the rights and serving the needs of clerics--while the rights and needs of lay Catholics, and notably of lay Catholics abused by clerics, are only distantly addressed by canon law.
2. Scicluna notes that canon law envisages three ends in any process considering the guilt of a cleric: these are "reparation of scandal, restitution of justice and the conversion of the accused." Only the second of these ends can in any way be said to address the needs of those abused by priests, and it does so only in a glancing way.
3. What's very clear in Scicluna's presentation is that canon law itself sees the primary problems in an abuse case as tamping down all reports that can lead to scandal and as "converting" the priest himself. Canon law has almost no room at all for considering the needs of lay Catholics who have been sexually abused by a priest, or for addressing the hurts and mending the injuries done to those who have been abused.
Middle
Ages Vatican condemns New Age American Nuns: The Celestine Prophecy come true!
Sisters in Crisis book mocks LCWR Sisters in Christ
UNITED STATESPope Crimes & Vatican Evils...
Paris Arrow
Below we cite an excerpt from the book The Celestine Prophecy that describes what is going on before our eyes in the USA today - between the Medieval Vatican and its obsolete doctrines and irrelevant dogmas - and the New Age American nuns who have evolved with the American people. The Machiavellian strategy of all male despots and male autocrats including and specially the Vatican is to suppress, kill, mock, banish or silence their members who disobey or disagree with their totalitarian obsolete decrees because these members consequently and effectively expose their monarchical deceits and crimes. With its Dark Ages doctrines, the Middles Ages Vatican is fearful of the New Age American nuns who are more in numbers than the dying breed of Catholic priests because these nuns have first-hand influence on the populace while the Vatican and its princes of Bishops and Cardinals are far-flung in Rome or are living in the lap of luxury in their Episcopalian palaces out-of-touch with reality away from its people. So the way they control these nuns is by final condemnations, destructions of their reputations and excommunication or banishments - exactly as the Celestine Prophecy describes.
Roma!
There are certain times in an artists life that are used as
milestones. I’m about to achieve one. My horror short, “Ave Maria“, will screen at the Interiora Horror Film Festival in
Rome, Italy. “Ave Maria” has already had its share of success and good fortune with film festivals having already screened at the Leamington Underground Cinema Film Festival in the UK, the Pawtucket film Festival in Rhode Island, the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in San Diego, CA and Rock and Shock in Worcester, MA – which was also a milestone.
It is also still scheduled to screen at Germany After Dark Film Festival in Gronau, Germany and Buffalo Dreams Fantastic Film Festival in Buffalo, NY. All accomplishments I’m very proud of. But Rome…
It’s no secret but I’m often told I need to remind people that I am a survivor of clergy sexual abuse by a ring of Catholic priests in the Diocese of Worcester, MA. Survivor, victim etc. All words I can’t stand. But such was may path. And it has shaped the statements I make as an artist.
On November 2nd I’ll make a statement in Rome. It seems that, at least here in America all of these crimes are forgotten. People think it is over and done with. So much so that the likes of Cardinal Dolan of NY get to yuk it up with Stephen Colbert on the Colbert Report or get a special seat at the dinner table with men who would be presidents, or at least wanted to be.
People forget that while serving in Milwaukee he paid sexually abusive priests up to $20 thousand dollars to leave, and inevitably abuse kids elsewhere instead of reporting these crimes to the police and then, with approval from Rome, hid assets from victims/survivors as he filed bankruptcy for the Diocese. The Diocese wasn’t actually financially bankrupt. But it was morally.
Nothing has changed but the spin. Those in power are not held accountable and are still celebrated. If we are to believe the press that under Pope Francis things will be different, remember who voted him into power. Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal Mahony, Cardinal George, etc. It does not serve in their best interest to elect someone who will hold them accountable for the covering up crimes of sexual abuse of children and protecting the criminal. It was this group of men who voted in Francis, not the Holy Spirit.
Pope Francis recently said the church is unduly obsessed with condemning abortion, gay marriage, and contraception. He then excommunicates a priest in Australia who is pro-gay marriage. I think the old adage actions speaks louder than words applies here. How many pedophile priests has he excommunicated? Zero. It’s all the same.
In “Ave Maria” we strip bare other abuses and crimes of the churches past. To show that this pattern has existed for centuries and won’t change, regardless of PR spin.
And then cut their balls off.
Metaphorically speaking.
I’ll see you in Rome!
Will
Pope Francis Be Ready For His Reform Meetings With Cardinals?
UNITED STATESChristian Catholicism
Does Pope Francis Understand What “Reform” Means ?
Jerry Slevin
The optimistic hopes of many Catholics about the upcoming meetings next week of Pope Francis and his eight man Cardinals’ reform committee are beginning to fade. Various new Vatican reports, leaks, etc., are playing down the meetings as very preliminary, only advisory and mostly secret. So what else is new?
Pope Francis has little time left to reform the Catholic Church. He cannot afford to procrastinate, in my considered view as an international lawyer. If he fails now , he also will likely be compelled to resign like his predecessor, ex-Pope Benedict, ignominousily had to. The Vatican’s “house of cards”, as Francis realistically described it, will then probably collapse. If that happens, Cardinal Rigali’s Secretary, Monsignor Lynn, may have some hierarchical company in prison before his sentence is completed. It’s that bad. Some hierarchs from outside Pennsylvania will likely find accomodations at their local jails.
Francis must promptly make the Church’s leaders accountable to the faithful, the Gospels and civil law, especially with respect to protecting defenseless children. He must initiate and enforce specific and effective policies to do this, before government prosecutors from Australia, Ireland, the Dominican Republic, the USA, Peru, Chile, Argentina, the Phillipines, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, or from dozens of other countries, do so for him.
Prosecutors dictated to Kansas City’s criminal, but continuing, Bishop Finn the specific policies he must follow, as nearby Federal prosecutors buried Finn’s protected pedophile priest with a 50 year prison term. Prosecutors eventually can be expected to dictate to other bishops and even to Francis himself, no matter what Francis may be advised otherwise. Government regulators are already dictating to Francis how he must manage the hierarchy’s finances. Government lawyers can, and I expect soon will, dictate to him how he must manage the hierarchy’s approach to predatory priests, if Francis fails to get effective control of the bishops’ flawed approach first. Priests may not be the pope’s “employees”; but bishops are another story.

Catholic Archbishop Speaks Of Inclusion And Healing
HARTFORD (CT)The Hartford Courant
By DANIELA ALTIMARI, altimari@courant.com
The Hartford Courant
10:06 p.m. EDT, October 29, 2013
BLOOMFIELD — A decade ago in his first year as bishop of Toledo, Ohio, Leonard P. Blair faced a number of flashpoints: priest sex abuse scandals, parish mergers and closings and the arrest of one of the diocese's priests in the murder of a nun decades earlier.
But Blair, appointed Tuesday as the fifth archbishop of Hartford, said the best way for the Catholic Church to heal from the "very sad, tragic things that have happened in recent years" is to be faithful to its mission, stay close to Christ and address people's material and spiritual needs.
"I am very struck by Pope Francis' image of the church being a field hospital for the wounded in today's world," Blair said. "There are so many people that are hurting, spiritually as well as materially."
The archbishop-designate joined Hartford church officials at a mid-morning press conference at St. Thomas Seminary in Bloomfield, about three hours after the Vatican formally announced his appointment to lead the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Hartford. He was introduced by the man he will succeed, Archbishop Henry J. Mansell, who, at 76, has passed the retirement age for archbishops.

Dear
Archbishop Nienstedt:
You and
your top staff have acted recklessly, callously, deceptively and secretively in
the case of Fr. Curtis Wehmeyer. These hurtful acts cannot be “un-done.” But
you can – and should – act now to prevent more irresponsible and harmful
behavior by your staff in the future, by
---disciplining
at least three church employees over how they handled Fr. Wehmeyer and
---holding
an open meeting to answer questions from parishioners and the public about this
case.
In your
heart of hearts, Archbishop, we believe you know that Fr. Kevin McDonough,
Deacon John Vomastek and Greta Sawyer have all acted in ways that protect Fr.
Wehmeyer, themselves and you, ways that were and are at best in appropriate and
at worst very damaging to innocent children, wounded victims and trusting
parishioners.
Fr.
McDonough knew of Fr. Wehmeyer’s sexual misdeeds in 2004. Yet in 2011, he urged
that the allegations against Fr. Wehmeyer be kept secret (despite years of
bishops’ pledges to be “open” in clergy sex cases). And in 2012, when police
knew about the accusations, before they arrived, McDonough - along with Deacon
John Vomastek - took one of Fr. Wehmeyer’s computers.
We
believe this could amount to tampering with evidence. But regardless of whether
either man is criminally charged, you know it’s wrong for church staff to take
evidence in a criminal case.
Un niño y dos padres
COLOMBIASemana
Por Daniel Coronell
OPINIÓNUno de los anuncios del padre Jaime, cuando asumió su curul, fue que tramitaría una ley para castigar con 25 años a los curas pederastas. Tres años después no ha presentado el proyecto.
En medio de la pobreza se las arreglaba para ser feliz. Cuenta Francisco que sus problemas arrancaron cuando ya había cumplido 13 años. Su mamá, acosada por las necesidades, fue a pedir ayuda a una institución de la Iglesia en San José del Guaviare. El director de la Pastoral Social en el pueblo era un amable sacerdote llamado Jaime Alonso Vásquez Bustamante.
Según Francisco, el padre Jaime y su hermano, el también cura Carlos Fernando Vásquez Bustamante, han abusado de él por 16 años.
Todo empezó cuando el padre Jaime convenció a la mamá de Francisco para que el niño fuera a ayudarle en la oficina en las tardes, después de las clases. Pronto se integró a un grupo de acólitos que trabajaba para el religioso en la iglesia del Divino Niño.
Una de esas tardes, de acuerdo con la narración de Francisco, el padre Jaime le pidió que le ayudara a mover unas cajas de una habitación. Antes le ofreció un jugo que lo hizo sentir mareado. En la habitación no había cajas. El padre Jaime le dijo a Francisco que quería confesarlo. No hace falta entrar en detalles. Según Francisco, ese día el padre lo violó por primera vez.
El niño llegó llorando a su casa. Sangrando. No sabía si él era la víctima o el culpable. Si ese adulto, amable hasta hace unas horas, cumplía la voluntad de Dios o se aprovechaba de su inocencia. Incapaz de contar la verdad y ocultando la sangre, le dijo a su mamá que se había peleado con otros niños y que el padre Jaime lo había regañado.

El sacerdote y congresista Jaime Alonso Vásquez Bustamante está en la boca del lobo. En su última columna, Daniel Coronell narra la historia de un joven que asegura que ha sido violado durante 16 años por dos sacerdotes de San José del Guaviare, uno de los cuales es el representante a la Cámara y el otro es su hermano Carlos Fernando.
Francisco Javier Bohórquez Franco, el joven que ahora tiene 29 años, asegura que denunció al sacerdote ante la Fiscalía y entregó pruebas de las presuntas relaciones sexuales no consensuadas, que se realizaban desde que él tenía 13 años, como le explicó a Coronell.
Este lunes, el representante dio la cara. En una extensa entrevista en BluRadio, el congresista Vásquez indicó él es simplemente un amigo al que acude Francisco Javier cuando este tiene necesidades.
“Ha habido una amistad que cuando nos llama se le ha escuchado. Muchas veces no lo he atendido, pero él es muy insistente. Ha llegado como adulto, entonces que no diga nada como menor de edad. Estoy seguro de que él no tiene ninguna prueba de abuso sexual y de violación”, afirmó el religioso.

La denuncia fue presentada ente la Fiscalía por Francisco Javier Bohórquez, de 29 años de edad, quien afirma que, desde que tenía trece años, había sido abusado por el entonces sacerdote Jaime Alonso Vásquez y su hermano, el también sacerdote, Carlos Fernando Vázquez Bustamante.
Según la víctima, la razón por la que no denunciaba nada ante su familia fueron las amenazas que el representante Vázquez le hacía, para que guardara silencio.
Iglesia dice tolerancia cero con
abusos sexuales

[Summary: Gardinal Ruben Salazar, president of the Columbia Episcopal Conference, said Monday that the Catholic Church has a zero tolerance policy for child abuse. In cases of clergy sexual abuse, the church has intervened immediately to punish the guilty, he said. Neither the cardinal nor the CEC keeps track of how many of the 8,000 Colombian priests have been the subject of abuse complaints.
His latest remarks came as legislator Jaime Alonso Vazquez, who was a priest, has been accused of child sexual abuse. Vasquez is now a legislator. According to journalist Daniel Coronell in the latest edition of Semana magazine, Vazquez before coming to Congress in 2010 is alleged to have molested a child under age 13 when he was a priest in the late 1990s in San Jose de Guaviare. The community is in the south of Colombia. He has denied the allegation. The alleged victim, now 29, recently went to the attorney general with the allegation.]

BOGOTA, Colombia -- La Iglesia Católica colombiana tiene tolerancia cero con la pederastia, destacó el lunes el cardenal Rubén Salazar, presidente de la Conferencia Episcopal Colombiana, al conocerse una nueva denuncia sobre un presunto abuso sexual.
"La posición de la Iglesia es perfectamente clara: es tolerancia cero y por lo tanto en casos concretos de abusos sexuales de parte de sacerdotes, la Iglesia inmediatamente ha intervenido para iniciar procesos que lleguen al castigo del culpable", dijo el cardenal a la prensa durante un foro multisectorial sobre reconciliación nacional.
Ni el cardenal ni la CEC llevan un registro de cuántos de los 8.000 curas colombianos han sido objeto de denuncias de abusos.
El más reciente señalamiento surgió en contra del legislador Jaime Alonso Vásquez, quien fue sacerdote y está suspendido debido a su participación en política.

SNAP to Catholic task force: “Resign now”
MINNESOTASurvivors Network of Those Abused by Priests
[the letter]
For immediate release: Tuesday, Oct. 29 2013
Statement by Barbara Dorris of St. Louis, Outreach Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests ( 314 862 7688 home, 314 503 0003 cell, SNAPdorris@gmail.com )
Archbishop John Neinstedt’s new abuse “task force” is a farce. We’ve felt so from the outset. Now it’s clear.
We call on members of that panel to end their complicity in this charade and resign in protest now.
Neinstedt claims his “task force” – headed by Fr. Reginald Whitt, a priest and lawyer who was hand-picked by Neinstedt - will somehow be “independent.” A new letter, however, has already been disproven this claim.
Last week, Neinstedt publicly said:
“The Task Force will have unprecedented authority to examine any and all issues associated with clergy sexual abuse."
And last week, Whitt privately said:
“Access to these files will be within my control and limited only to what is necessary for the task force to be able to make an informed decision.”
So Catholic officials shout “independent move” in public while maintaining control in private.
We have seen the same pattern over and over again in diocese across the country and saw the same pattern at the national church level a decade ago.
In 2002, America’s bishops claimed they adopted a “tough” abuse policy. But as the limelight faded, Vatican officials quietly gutted much of it.
Time and time again, Catholic officials say almost anything to get themselves out of a jam. Then, as public attention begins to wane, they quietly backpedal. And soon it’s “business as usual” again.

commission ‘fell far short’ when it came to slamming Church over sexual abuse
cases

[Murphy Report - via BishopAccountability.org]
By PATRICK COUNIHAN, IrishCentral Staff Writer
Ireland’s Association of Catholic Priests is to release a damning report into the findings of the tribunal set up to examine the church’s reaction to clerical sex abuse.
An ACP review of the Murphy commission report into the Catholic church’s handling of clerical sex abuse cases in Ireland says it ‘fell far short’ of meeting the requirements of natural and constitutional justice.
The review commissioned by the ACP says that the ‘practices and procedures’ of the Murphy commission left a lot to be desired where Catholic clergy called before it were concerned.
The Irish Times reports that the ACP review says the Murphy commission ‘veered off the tight rails imposed by the 2004 Commissions of Investigation Act and wandered into an adversarial arena that concentrated, to an alarming degree, on naming and shaming those clerics whom the Commission found wanting in child protection at that time.'
Priest sued in
abuse of West St. Paul girl, 8, in the 1980s
MINNESOTAStar Tribune
Article by: JEAN HOPFENSPERGER and TONY KENNEDY , Star Tribune staff writers Updated: October 30, 2013
The case of a West St. Paul second-grader in the 1980s is the 18th in Minnesota since state law changed to allow more time for such suits.
A Catholic priest who served churches in St. Paul, West St. Paul and Hopkins was accused in a lawsuit Tuesday of abusing a girl in West St. Paul, bringing to 18 the number of suits filed against Minnesota Catholic clergy and leaders since May.
The lawsuit against the Rev. Robert Thurner, 87, and the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis also alleges that the archbishop of St. Louis — former Twin Cities auxiliary bishop Robert Carlson — was among church officials who were informed that Thurner had sexually abused another child before he was transferred to the girl’s church in 1983.
The lawsuit comes as the archdiocese reels from recent allegations of sexual misconduct among its clergy and lack of disciplinary action in the chancery. On Wednesday, archdiocese priests will gather for an all-day meeting that is expected to include discussion of the sexual abuse issue.
According to the latest complaint filed in Ramsey County District Court, Thurner admitted to archdiocese authorities in 1982 that he bought liquor for a 16-year-old boy and sexually abused him.
Carlson and former Twin Cities Archbishop John Roach were among four top archdiocese leaders who were privy to the admission, archdiocese internal memos indicate.

ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - St. Louis Archbishop Robert Carlson has been named in a civil lawsuit filed in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn. accusing him of covering up a child sex abuse case when he was an assistant to a St. Paul archbishop in the 1980s.
The lawsuit claims Fr. Carlson was one of four top officials at the Twin Cities diocese who knew that Fr. Robert Thurner had admitted buying liquor for a 16-year old boy and then sexually abusing him.
“Instead of reporting it to law enforcement as he was required to do, he made a choice to conceal it and allow Thurner to go to other parishes,” Jeff Anderson, an attorney for the plaintiff in the case, alleges.

Another day, another lawsuit filed against the archdiocese.

The woman said she was sexually abused by the Rev. Robert Thurner at St. Joseph Catholic Church in West St. Paul when she was seven to eight years old. She is not named in the complaint, which was brought under a new state law that gives victims more time to sue. … Internal church documents released by attorneys representing the woman show top church leaders knew in 1982 that Thurner had sexually abused a minor. … The lawsuit filed today seeks damages and asks a judge to unseal a list of 33 priests accused of abuse. Lawyers for the archdiocese had provided the names in an earlier Ramsey County civil case, but a judge ordered the names be kept private.”
Fr Tony Flannery ‘unlikely’ to
return to active ministry
IRELANDLimerick Leader
by Anne Sheridan
Published on the 29 October 2013
A FORMER rector of the Redemptorists in Limerick and a best-selling author believes his “days of being an active priest are over” - unless “the unpredictable” nature of Pope Francis turns in his favour.
Fr Tony Flannery has been barred from his ministry by the Vatican over his written views on women priests, contraception, celibacy and homosexuality.
The 66-year-old has been a Redemptorist priest for over forty years and was rector at Mount Saint Alphonsus in Limerick for six years. Speaking at the Limerick signing of his book Question of Conscience, he said his future as a ministering priest lies in the hands of the Pope.
“I have been forbidden to administer as a priest for the last 18 months, and the conditions that they have laid down for me to come back are such that I cannot accept, as I have laid out in my book. I don’t see the circumstances arising where I will ever come back into ministry again. The one proviso is that it’s a bit unpredictable what Pope Francis will do. Maybe there’s a glimmer of hope but I’d say that’s about all. The likelihood is that my days of being an active priest are over,” he said.
The
Secret Gay Life of the Vatican: Inside a Hidden Netherworld of the Catholic
Church
VATICAN CITYVanity Fair
As rumors of a powerful “gay lobby” within the Vatican make headlines and a new Pope promises reform, Vanity Fair contributing editor Michael Joseph Gross interviews dozens of current and former priests, gay monks, veteran Vatican journalists, Italian aristocrats, and gay men at Roman gyms, bars, nightclubs, sex clubs, and restaurants and finds that “to be gay in the Vatican is no guarantee of success, mark of belonging, or shortcut to erotic intrigue. Most basically it is a sentence of isolation,” a life “in a closet that has no door.”
According to Gross’s piece in the December issue of Vanity Fair (on stands today), a significant number of gay clerics at the Vatican are in positions of great authority, but they inhabit a secretive netherworld because homosexuality is officially condemned. The principal requirement of their power and priesthood is silence about who they really are—at least in public. According to Gross, “Clerics inhabit this silence in a variety of ways. A few keep their sexuality entirely private and adhere to the vow of celibacy. Many others quietly let themselves be known as gay to a limited degree … sometimes they remain celibate and sometimes they do not. A third way, perhaps the least common but certainly the most visible, involves living a double life.
Gross goes on to describe the codes and signals by which gay priests navigate life in the Vatican. “Camp is perhaps the most powerful and pervasive” code, with ironic, effeminate self-mockery allowing priests to “exercise some limited rebellion against their own isolation and invisibility.” One former gay priest describes clerical camp to Gross as “a natural way of expressing [gay identity] while celibate.” Yet in the Church, as in Italian society, Gross writes, “the right appearance—la bella figura—is all.... Parties celebrating appointment to the Vatican and other high Church offices can be lavish … with many clerics in attendance being ‘gay men wearing everything handmade, perfect, queer as it comes,’” as a prominent figure in the Roman art world tells Gross. Still, Gross finds an every-man-for-himself dynamic in Rome’s gay clerical culture: gay clerics often fail to help one another, says a gay former seminarian who was robbed one night in a park while numerous men stood by, because solidarity entails the risk of being outed.
For
clerics who break the vow of celibacy, gay saunas are good places to
meet other gay priests and monks (though some gay celibate clerics
use the saunas not for sex but to experience a sense of fellowship with others
like themselves), according to Gross.
If a gay clergy member makes a connection, it’s possible to use your monastery cell for sexual assignations, as long as you don’t make much noise. “You can sneak people in, no problem,” one gay monk tells Gross, “but try to avoid consistent patterns of movement.” That said, a former monk tells Gross that “no one has sex” with other residents of his own monastery, “because it is like a Big Brother house. Everyone knows everything.”
