You are very brave to post this. You have suffered and will continue to suffer for your courage. I don't know how or when the Holy Spirit will clean up the Church but I think you are working with the HS. God bless you for being willing to be on the cross!

Father, do you have evidence of these allegations? I personally am inclined to believe them, but evidence, or someone willing to come forward, is needed. McCarrick didn't finally go down until James Grein came forward. You are in my prayers.

Yes Father predatory priests and their minions seek out the vulnerable. And let’s face it ….we are easy to identify .

May God continue to bless you in your work .

Here is my personal description of every human life. This is absolutely NOT the bishops upstanding of a child’s or adult’s life:

“Your life is a holy life, a sacred life and a precious life. It is precisely because God created you out f Divine Love and in His mage and likeness. And God has a role for you to play in the unfolding of His kingdom here at hand. Go forth into this world, and time and again, you shall come face to face with God.” Amen.

Good for you Father! Just came across your website through the Tradition in Action site. You are a very courageous man to stand up for the truth, thank you, but be careful please and do not underestimate the enemy. They are all cowards and will stoop to anything. Remember, Jesus was Himself the Truth, and preached it. He called out and condemned the leaders and they killed Him for it, cowards all. Also, everyone abandoned Him, except His Mother, imagine how that must have felt like! At the end, no one stood up for The Truth, Jesus Christ, remember that as well, because you may find yourself abandoned in the end, if it came down to that. But be like Him, you will be rewarded in the end, like Him. By the way Father, be assured that you would have at least one standing by you, me! At least I hope and pray I would!

God bless you and keep you safe always,

Bill Raley.

Dear Father, Your "open letter" has an unhinged tone and is neither carefully prepared nor prudent. I don't even doubt some of the factual accusations, yet what is accomplished with this scandalous report? You are evidently removed from active Priestly ministry. I am not trying to be personally critical of you, but "rage against the machine" is probably hopeless until the current Church homosexual leadership dies off. I recommend that you consider approaching the SSPX to determine your fit in their Priestly Society. Marc

The hope things will change when they "die off" is wrong-headed. There is a steady stream of new recruits coming in all the time. The NAC situation involves young men.

Did you read my comment? Maybe not with your posting in the middle of the night. Those good young Priests whom you describe are not the "Church homosexual leadership" that need to depart.

Just as we say of the heterosexual rape, so we say to the homosex rape: Make Rape Pay.

With the former, with take child/mother taken care of, we then take all other crisis pregnancies and say the woman had the "choice" to have sex or embrace the consequences. And therefore we can abolish abortion.

With the latter, we can annul all the oxymoronic homosex priesthoods and start over with pure priests.

In each case we use the relatively new technology of DNA identification of wayward sperm.
